C&C owns Tennent's and Drygate and acquired Innis & Gunn's brand and global intellectual property in March 2026. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
Tennent's and Wellpark were acquired from AB InBev in 2009. Drygate became wholly owned on 27 February 2025 through purchase of the remaining 51%. Innis & Gunn's brand/global IP was bought from administrators on 6 March 2026; old L Catterton and crowdfunding holdings are not ownership of the acquired brand. Menabrea and strategic-partner portfolio entries are not treated as proof of worldwide ownership. Magners and Orchard Pig are C&C-owned cider brands. Direct GB control of the wider cider portfolio returned to C&C on 1 January 2025; BBG's continuing web listings do not certify a current agreement. Addlestones, Chaplin & Cork's, Natch Original and Ye Olde English are retained as historically owned names with unverified current rights/production. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
