You've probably heard in the news that BrewDog has been acquired by Tilray Inc - a leading global lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company and one of the largest diversified craft beverage platforms globally (4th largest in the US).  

Tilray will bring operational scale, global infrastructure and disciplined investment to support BrewDog’s next phase of growth. This marks the beginning of a new chapter - one that allows BrewDog to sharpen their focus on quality, accelerate innovation, and continue building a strong, distinctive brand with long-term stability behind it.

What this means for members

Whilst there will be some transitional activity relating to production, we've secured continuous supply from BrewDog via LWC and there should be no impact for students' unions during this period. All other activity, including servicing, related to BrewDog is business as usual. 

We’ll also carry out an ethical review of Tilray in line with NUS values, and have a constructive conversation with them once we have the results.  If you have any questions or experience any issues, please email trading@nus.org.uk
