For the venues lucky enough to still be operating by Tuesday morning, staff found themselves working in a very different business.The beer firm, which was once valued as high as £2bn, sold for just £33m to American cannabis and alcohol group Tilray Brands in a rescue deal, a sombre twist of fate for Glasgow-based Brewdog, a company widely credited for having  kickstarted the British craft beer craze after scaling rapidly, driven by an irreverent, countercultural ethos. The sale is the latest proof that Brewdog was unable to deliver on its lofty ambitions. Co-founders and former school mates James Watt and Martin Dickie had already stepped away from the firm, which had been dogged by allegations among its staff of a culture of fear and a “cult of personality” – allegations which Watt rejects.\n\nWhile the sale to Tilray will preserve the Brewdog brand – at least for now – the deal comes at a significant cost, especially for the company’s staff.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNews Updates\nStay ahead with our three daily briefings delivering all the key market moves, top business and political stories, and incisive analysis straight to your inbox.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhich bars will dodge the chop?The terms of the deal mean Tilray will acquire Brewdog’s global brand, its UK brewing operations and a select number of its UK bars in exchange for £33m in cash. Those hoping to continue frequenting Brewdog’s bars will be lucky, as long as they live in London. Five of the English bars bought by Tilray are in the capital: Canary Wharf, Paddington, Seven Dials, Waterloo and, in the Square Mile, on Great Tower Street.Two further bars in England – the Birmingham and Manchester Peter Street locations – were bought by Tilray and will remain open, while three in Scotland and one in Dublin will keep the lights on.\n\nThis means 38 Brewdog bars in the UK will shut immediately, leading to nearly 500 job losses.The widespread closures are the latest sign of deep challenges facing the hospitality industry in the UK. The owner of Revolution Bars appointed administrators earlier this year, leading to hundreds of job losses.The pubs crisis hit an inflection point in Cornwall last week after it was announced that Sharp’s Brewery, who make Doom Bar ale, is to be shut by its US owner. In the same week, four historic Cornish pubs said they are going under.AlixPartners, who were advising Brewdog on the sale and have now been appointed administrators of the unsold bars, said there were no offers on the table which could have saved the bar network in its entirety.\n\nClare Kennedy, managing director at AlixPartners, said: “As one would expect over the past two weeks, we have received significant interest in the BrewDog business from prospective buyers across both the trade and investment communities. “In Tilray, we have secured a purchaser with a passion for craft brewing who will be an excellent custodian and sponsor of the business in the months and years ahead.”","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.2","shortVersion":"4.36.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2616341848","isCrawlerRequest":true}
