BrewDog

BrewDog PLC (company no. SC311560) is a Scottish craft brewer, bar and hotel operator headquartered at Balmacassie Commercial Park, Ellon, Aberdeenshire, known for Punk IPA, Hazy Jane and Lost Lager, its Equity for Punks crowdfunding rounds, and its openly published DIY Dog recipe archive. BrewDog does not run a conventional developer program, but its direct-to-consumer store at brewdog.com is a Shopify storefront that ships a real agent-facing API surface: a published /llms.txt and /agents.md, a Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) merchant profile at /.well-known/ucp, a UCP-over-MCP endpoint at /api/ucp/mcp, Shopify Customer Account OpenID Connect discovery at /.well-known/openid-configuration, and unauthenticated read-only storefront product JSON endpoints that BrewDog documents for agents itself.

BrewDog is listed with 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Food and Beverage, Beer, Brewing, and Retail.

BrewDog’s developer surface includes documentation, signup flow, support, engineering blog, YouTube channel, authentication, code examples, and 26 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/brewdog/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/brewdog to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.
