BrewDog has reached an eight-figure deal to sell its global distribution headquarters, known as the "Hop Hub", at Eurocentral in the central belt.
The logistics and distribution centre has been acquired by CBRE Global Investors. CBRE Global Investors will lease the property back to the brewer on a 20-year deal.
BrewDog was represented by MWM Property Consultants, while Knight Frank acted for CBRE Global Investors.

The property consists of a 129,000 sq. ft. modern distribution unit. Located within the 650-acre Eurocentral industrial site, the facility is one of Europe’s first refrigerated beer warehouses, with more than 60 staff.
Tom Stanton at CBRE Global Investors, said: "This is a unique opportunity to acquire a well specified, modern facility in Scotland’s premier logistics and distribution location.

"The acquisition is consistent with our continued emphasis on prime real estate in desirable locations and provides a highly attractive, secure long income stream, in line with the fund strategy.
"The property sits at the heart of BrewDog’s logistics supply chain and we look forward to developing a strong, long term relationship with them over the coming years.”
Alasdair Steele, head of Scotland commercial at Knight Frank, said: “The deal for Hop Hub underlines the compelling case for well-placed industrial and logistics assets – a large single-let unit with long-dated income underpinned by a strong covenant. These types of assets are relatively rare, but highly sought-after.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
