The plans also include space for a roof terrace, a semi-enclosed courtyard and greenhouse/winter garden.

BrewDog , the independent craft brewer, has published plans to open a 26-bedroom, craft beer hotel at its Ellon Brewery headquarters in Aberdeenshire.

The hotel, dubbed ‘DogHouse’, will feature beer taps in the bedrooms. The en-suite showers will feature mini fridges stocked with craft brews.

The bedrooms will also have views across to the adjacent brewery.

BrewDog was founded in 2007 in an Aberdeenshire garage. Its rapid expansion has been aided by its reputation for outrageous publicity stunts - the founders once drove a tank through Camden Town in London.

Other than the beer taps, no other details have been released about either the bedrooms or the other facilities in the hotel.

BrewDog Hotel is scheduled to open in the first half of 2019
