8 Brewdog bars are closing in London: full list of shut locations in the capital

"Brewdog has now been sold off to an American beverage and medical cannabis company in a deal worth £33 million. Tilray is the new owner of the global rights to the Brewdog brand name, as well as the chain's UK brewing operations and 11 of its 'BrewPubs'."

"Brewdog's 38 other pubs across the UK are closing with immediate effect, including eight in the capital. Luckily for London's dad crowd, five of the venues which have been saved are in the capital, along with bars in Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh and Dublin."

"Unite has called out Brewdog for treating its staff as 'disposable pawns'. The move made 484 members of staff redundant across the shuttered venues in what the union called 'nothing short of a national disgrace'."

Brewdog, the Scottish craft brewery founded in 2007, has been sold to Tilray, an American beverage and medical cannabis company, in a £33 million deal. The acquisition includes global rights to the Brewdog brand, UK brewing operations, and 11 BrewPubs. Following the sale, 38 of Brewdog's 44 UK pubs closed immediately, including eight in London, resulting in 484 staff redundancies. Five London venues were retained among 13 total UK locations under new ownership. The closure represents a significant decline from Brewdog's peak of nearly 60 venues and follows recent sales struggles, including the closure of 10 British bars in July and removal from nearly 2,000 venues nationwide. Union representatives criticized the redundancies as treating staff as disposable.
