Yes, but never on this scale.

Talked repeatedly about what an amazing deal and how Tilray would never have been able to acquire "this much strategic real estate for the amount we paid".

Plans to use BrewDog excess capacity (of which there is plenty) to brew Tilray brands in the UK, & for contract brewing.

Buckle up, folks.

Some staggering details on the analyst call with Tilray CEO Irwin Simon.

Hailed EFP and employees for their patience & support, while ignoring circa 500 made redundant + shareholders wiped out

Thinks BrewDog beers aren’t sold in UK pubs aside from its own.

I don't think that's true. Tilray is listed in the US so had to update it's shareholders at market open. BrewDog told staff earlier today AFAIK.

On the latter claim, I've no way to verify but given the sensitive nature of the joint administrator's statement I doubt that was the language used.

So much will be said about all this in the coming days, but IMO the biggest takeaway is that James Watt and Martin Dickie each pocketed more than the price BrewDog was eventually sold for, while 500 hardworking staff are now out of a job & 220k equity punks don't get a dime.

Absolute charlatans.

BrewDog sold to US pharmaceutical and cannabis giant Tilray for just £33m Separately, Tilray said it was also negotiating a deal to acquire certain BrewDog assets in the United States and Australia.

Cruzcampo gets ‘crisp and refreshing’ Sevilla Orange line extension Heineken UK research showed two-thirds of shoppers were open to trying flavoured beer

Another week, another piece of uninspired big beer "innovation"...

Are global brewers actually capable of setting trends, or do they just sit around in endless meetings trying to find challenger brands to copy?

I think someone actually revived Red Barrel in like 2017?? But it didn't go well (imagine my shock).

Wouldn't put it past him...

I think you'll find it's actually written for a B2B audience that might not have followed the story with the same level of microscopic detail as someone as invested as you clearly are...

Who is acting surprised here? Not me for sure. I was writing about compounding interest rates and preferential share status when James Watt stepped down in 2024...

Cheers Jezza!

Thanks John!

BrewDog appoints advisors to run accelerated sale process A quick-fire sale is likely to be executed by an administrator, rather than on a solvent basis, The Grocer understands.

As reported elsewhere, BrewDog has appointed advisors to run a rapid-fire sale.

Not reported elsewhere - the sale likely to be conducted by an administrator, rather than on a solvent basis.

Makes the chances of Equity Punks seeing any return close to nil, IMO.

Or because Paratici wanted him and none of them have a fucking clue what they're doing?

The biggest mistake we could possibly make is thinking we are too big/good to go down. We are one of – if not the worst – side(s) in the division on current form.

We have to cut and run on this calamitous clown before it's too late. #COYS
