In Uncategorized on March 16, 2026 by kmflett

Tilray who bought Brewdog’s UK operation for £33m on March 2nd (minus 38 pubs and 488 workers) has announced it has now acquired Brewdog’s US operations for an undisclosed sum. Earlier it also took over Brewdog Australia.

Brewdog’s German brewery and bars have closed but there remain a number of franchised Brewdog bars around the globe whose future remains unclear.

Lords Cricket Ground operated a break clause in its contract with Brewdog last week but there has been no news on the situation at West Ham’s London Stadium which also has a Brewdog contract

Brewdog is now just another corporate craft beer brand and operation. Perhaps the major UK issue is whether it will manage to keep Punk IPA on the bars of 800 Wetherspoons pubs, by far its largest UK draught outlet.
