It’s been another busy week on The Grocer. 

On Monday the soap opera of BrewDog’s descent into administration came to a dramatic conclusion, with US-based Tilray Brands outbidding rivals C&C, Royal Unibrew and Royal Swinkels, as well as a bid from founder and ex-CEO James Watt. It’s extraordinary to consider that a brand once valued at £2bn was sold for around £40m. We’ve examined plans and prospects for the Scottish craft brewer under Tilray. And while attention has focused on the losses incurred by the 220,000 so-called ‘equity punk’ shareholders, we argue there’s not been enough attention on BrewDog employees in this punchy piece calling for greater recognition of – and compassion for – the humans behind the headlines.
