After purchasing BrewDog’s UK and Australian arms, Tilray Brands has now expanded its deal to include the Scottish brewer’s US operations.
US beverage and medical cannabis company Tilray has entered into an agreement to buy certain assets of BrewDog in the US, including its brewery, pub, and hotel in Columbus, Ohio.
In addition, Tilray has acquired BrewDog pubs in New Albany, Ohio, and Las Vegas, Nevada, alongside a franchise location in Denver, Colorado, and a site in Columbus Airport.
Irwin D Simon, chairman and CEO of Tilray Brands, said the deal would strengthen its US alcohol platform.
“BrewDog has built a strong following in Ohio and established a highly visible presence in Las Vegas, including a flagship brewpub located on a premier stretch of the Las Vegas Strip,” Simon added.
“These assets fit squarely within our brewpub model, creating destination-led venues that deepen consumer engagement while providing new opportunities to introduce and sell our broader portfolio of Tilray beverage brands.”
The move comes just weeks after Tilray purchased BrewDog’s UK brewing operations, brand, and 11 pubs in a £33 million (US$43.9m) deal that led to the loss of 484 hospitality jobs.
It also followed Tilray’s announcement last week of its acquisition of BrewDog’s Australian business, which includes its production facility and bars.
Simon confirmed that Tilray now owns the BrewDog brand and its intellectual property globally, following its deals in the UK, Ireland and Australia.
He continued: “This positions us to steward the brand’s next chapter with a unified strategy and a fully integrated North American brewpub footprint designed to support long‑term growth and brand strength.”
This US agreement is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals. Financial terms have not been disclosed.
Tilray owns Colorado’s Breckenridge Distillery, which it acquired in December 2021 with the aim of producing THC-infused spirits.
