The Brewdog debts: drinks & hospitality

When Brewdog failed at the beginning of March it left £550m debts split roughly equally between the brewery and the bars and retail.

The Administrators Allix have posted a long list of debtors on the Companies House site. Most will get less than a penny in the pound back

Cave (beer distributors) £66,142

Sandford Orchards (cider) £73,522

Cloudwater £15,522

Molson Coors £98,386

Heineken £7,914

H Weston (cider) £20,400

Tennents £128, 327

Vault City £ 27,724

Buxton £247

Donzoko £594

Muntons (Malt) £960,617

Given the reputational issues one wonders why Vault City and Cloudwater traded with Brewdog when I doubt they were short of potential bartops. Buxton and Donzoko can be more easily understood on that basis.

As for Heineken and Molsons, who knows. The Administrator lists but does not give details!
