Private acquired beer business · Tilray Brands parent [1][2][3]
01
Named beer business / brand owner
Tilray Brands UK Ltd · acquired BrewDog business [1]
Tilray Brands UK Ltd bought global brand/IP, the Ellon brewery and selected businesses on 2 March 2026, not all shares in the former BrewDog plc. Equity for Punks shares belong to the old company and are not shares in the acquired Tilray-owned brand business. Subsequent deals added Australia, US operations and more UK pubs; the original 11 venues is a historical deal scope, not a current global bar count. James Watt and Second Best Beer are separate from the current BrewDog business. [1][2][3]
Headquarters, incorporation and tax residence describe different things. A headquarters address does not tell you where all of a company’s tax is paid.
