James Watt is a UK brewery owner best known for co-hosting, along with Martin Dickie, Esquire Network’s Brew Dogs, which features the two traveling to different cities and towns and sampling craft beers native to the areas they visit. The pair founded what they claim is Scotland’s largest independent brewery in 2007, called — you guessed it — BrewDog.
