BrewDog's Shocking Sale: US Cannabis Firm Tilray Buys UK Assets, Costing 500 Jobs (2026)

The once-beloved Scottish brewer, BrewDog, has been sold to the US cannabis and drinks firm Tilray for £33 million, marking a significant turning point for the company. This deal, which comes after years of financial struggles and controversies, has left many of the company's early investors and employees feeling betrayed. But here's where it gets controversial... The sale of BrewDog's UK and Irish assets has resulted in the loss of nearly 500 jobs, leaving many of the company's early stage crowdfunders empty-handed. The new owners, Tilray, have promised to refocus BrewDog on its craft beer excellence and invest strategically to return the operations to profitable growth. However, the question remains: can Tilray truly restore BrewDog's former glory, or is this just the beginning of a new chapter of uncertainty for the once-punk brewer?
