The hotel features 32 rooms, including a 460-ft2 Punk suite. According to the company, guests can relax with a Punk IPA in their room, enjoying the view over the brewhouse.
The DogHouse is also claimed to be the first hotel in the world to provide guests a night’s stay inside a brewery.
Each guest will be treated to a minibar full of hand-picked brews. They can enjoy beer tap in their room for a fresh pint.
All rooms are en-suite, come with a built-in shower beer fridge for guests to sample hoppy drinks as they scrub up. They can use hop-infused shampoos and soaps created by Glenn Avenue Soaps only for The DogHouse.

By GlobalDataFour of the rooms at the hotel are dog-friendly. Guests can hang out with human and canine pals in the common areas such as the media room where they can watch TV shows or play a game.
Besides the hotel, the firm has recently unveiled on-site, 6,000ft2 interactive beer museum.
The museum provides a journey through the brewing process, history of craft beer, and a hands-on experience of ‘the fundamental four’ ingredients that contribute to the creation of a craft beer.
BrewDog was launched in 2007 by James Watt in partnership with Martin Dickie.
For The DogHouse hotel project, the firm set out to raise $75,000 through crowdfunding.
After securing over $300,000, four times the intended target through the crowdfunding, the company intends to open a second hotel at its headquarters in Aberdeeenshire, Scotland, in 2019.
