AN ACCLAIMED brewer and pub operator is expanding into Brighton.

Brewdog has been rumoured to be coming to the city since last year.

It has now confirmed it has found its first property on the South Coast - but was unable to provide any further details.

A spokeswoman said the firm was waiting for the deal to go through and could not confirm when more details would be revealed.

The Scottish brewer is undergoing major expansion across the UK and beyond and has strong appeal among young drinkers of hoppy craft ales.

Several of its beers are already on sale in Brighton and Hove bars.
