## Resource

BrewDog’s CEO James Taylor is stepping down after just 18 months, following the company’s controversial takeover by US cannabis and beer giant Tilray. The deal, worth £33 million, brought an abrupt end to BrewDog’s independence, shuttered 11 pubs, and led to job losses — though a few locations in Aberdeen and Inverurie have since reopened. BrewDog now says it doesn’t need a full-time CEO under Tilray International, praising Taylor for navigating the transition. Meanwhile, founder James Watt was reportedly in talks to buy the company before Tilray swooped in — a whirlwind year for the iconic brand.
