BrewDog boss opens up on 'biggest mistakes' made while expanding
BrewDog chief executive James Watt has opened up about the biggest mistakes he made while growing the craft beer giant.
Mr Watt said the mistakes were both "painful to make" and "painful to share".
"I have definitely learned a lot from these and I am sharing them so that other business people can hopefully learn from them too," he said.

BBC Scotland's Disclosure programme will allege next week that BrewDog sent multiple shipments of beer to the US in contravention of US federal laws
Mr Watt said: "We made some mistakes with the paperwork on the first few shipments (to the US) ...all taxes were paid in full, but the paperwork was not always correct.
"In hindsight, there were oversights...due to the fact we were trying to run a growing business on one side of the Atlantic and start a new business on the other."
Mr Watt said the company self-reported the issue to the TTB, who told BrewDog there would be no further action taken.
BrewDog has created over 2,000 new jobs, with many more to come this year, and is responsible for well over £100million of tax revenue annually.
Council tax rises on the way
Scottish councils face having to cut back services even while raising local taxes to balance the books, a leading councillor has claimed.
Alison Evison, who leads council umbrella body Cosla, told the BBC not enough funding is on offer from Holyrood.
The Labour councillor in Aberdeenshire said the only question over council tax rises was how big they would be, and that it was "probably inevitable" that services would face cuts too.
The Scottish Government insists it has treated local authorities fairly.
Councils need to set their tax and spending plans in the coming weeks, with the Scottish Parliament also moving through its annual budget process.
The plans set out by Finance Secretary Kate Forbes in December are sure to pass, with the SNP's partnership arrangement with the Greens giving the Government a majority at Holyrood.
However, councils have hit out at the settlement offered to them as part of the budget, with leaders expressing "extreme disappointment" with the "totally unacceptable" proposals.
There has been dispute over the exact figures involved, with the Government pointing to an increase in the core settlement in cash terms, while councils contend that this does not account for inflation or ring-fenced funds.
Licences for short-term lets on the way in Scotland
Plans requiring landlords to have licences for short-term let properties have been passed at Holyrood, reports the Press and Journal.
The Scottish Government will introduce a licensing scheme for Airbnb-style properties in a bid to achieve a greater balance between the concerns of communities and the economic and tourism benefits.
The regulations passed by 87 votes to 33. Councils will each have to devise a licensing system for short-term rental properties by October, with all operators then required to apply for a licence by July 1 2024.
Fees to apply for a licence are uncapped under the Government's plans, with individual local authorities able to set their own rate.
The Scottish Government had previously hoped to introduce the new law before May's Holyrood election, but pushed the plans back following a backlash from some MSPs.
North-east Trump golf resort part of inquiry by New York Attorney General
A US prosecutor probing former President Donald Trump's business practices is focusing on valuations of his assets, including his luxury golf resort in Aberdeenshire.
The Press and Journal says officials have been reviewing the 75-year-old's annual financial statements, tax submissions and other documents in connection with Trump International Golf Club Scotland.
A spokeswoman for the Trump Organisation said the allegations "are baseless and will be vigorously defended".
