I wonder what happened their other world first craft beer hotel? https://www.brewdog.com/usa/lowdown/press-hub/doghouse-groundbreaking

Nevermind saw they mentioned it in the article.

Would Wicklow Brewey be the first craft beer campsite?

I'm not sure how they call it a world first. World first for them maybe. I went to the Kennedy School House run by McMenamins in Portland OR about 11 years ago

I guess they mean the first hotel who's theme is "craft beer". I'm skeptical of the Punk IPA on tap in every room. For starters, how many pints are you going to want to drink in your room anyway? And if you do decide to drink a pint, when was the last pint poured? How long was the keg sitting there? Can't see it happening unless they come up with some sort of minikeg setup.
