This week's episode of Scran is all about BrewDog's craft beer revolution.

Even if you're not a beer drinker, the name Brewdog won't have escaped your attention in recent years. From humble beginnings in 2007 they've grown to become a global brand with 82 bars around the world.

This week host and Scotsman food and drink writer, Rosalind, ventures up to Ellon to visit the home of Brewdog. She chats to co-founder Martin Dickie about his passion for brewing, the logic behind the name and their innovative business model.

Rosalind also talks to Scotsman Food and Drink editor Sean Murphy about the reasons behind the rise of craft beer.
