Read our privacy policy Brewery and pubchain Brewdog has announced that it is using its Scottish distillery to produce hand sanitiser in a bid to alleviate waning stocks amid the coronavirus pandemic. Brewdog - which has sites across the country - said it was working with a global team to make its "Punk" sanitiser available as soon as possible to help people "stay safe". "Our community supports us, so it’s good to do something for them.” Officials have begun cutting red tape to increase production of alcohol-based hand sanitiser as supermarket shelves empty across the country.
