BrewDog shipped the record equivalent of 18m pints last month from its brewery in Scotland, as UK beer sales grew by 11% in the second quarter, The Times reports.
Craft beer sales were up 3.6% by volume this year, beating a wider 3.8% decline in the wider beer market, the company said.
Mainstream lagers such as Budweiser, Foster’s and Heineken were all in decline, it claimed.
In the first half, BrewDog’s revenues were up 18%.
The craft brewer has significantly expanded over the past year, taking on hundreds of staff and unveiling plans to open another 200 bars by 2030.
The Punk IPA producer has more than 100 bars and is openings international sites this year in India, Italy, the Netherlands, Australia, America, Thailand and Denver, Colorado.
The group, which is based in Ellon, Aberdeenshire, has 2,300 employees and operates breweries in Berlin, Brisbane and Columbus, Ohio.
Following a scandal over claims of a toxic culture two years ago, it was recently was named as one of the best 100 companies to work for in the UK by the Top Employers Institute.
BrewDog said it was riding the growing trend towards premium brews, craft beers and alcohol-free beers over mass-produced lagers.
CEO James Watt said: “When we set this company up, I never thought I’d sell 18 million pints in a month. It just goes to show there’s a definite flight to quality going on among drinkers.
“When times are tough, people look for affordable ways to treat themselves. You might think that craft beer would suffer in a cost of living crisis but actually we’re seeing the reverse.”
