Brewdog to stop making spirits at Ellon distillery
BrewDog will stop producing LoneWolf Gin and other spirits after nearly a decade due to financial losses exceeding £100 million, focusing instead on beer and Wonderland cocktails.
- BrewDog has decided to cease production of its distilling brands at its Ellon distillery, except Wonderland cocktails, and will carry out a smooth wind-down over the coming months.
- After reporting heavy losses, company accounts revealed BrewDog lost almost £100 million across 2023 and 2024 and a £37 million operating loss for 2024, citing spirits market competition and focus on beer brands and Wonderland cocktails.
- The Ellon distillery originally opened as LoneWolf Distillery and rebranded as BrewDog Distilling Co in 2019; its spirit labels, including LoneWolf Gin, Abstrakt Vodka, Duo Rum, Ron Bodega Rum and Casa Rayos Tequila, will be halted in the coming months.
- BrewDog pledged to fulfil existing obligations and said it will contact Equity for Punks holders and Whisky Cask investors directly; Harriet Cross, Conservative MP for Gordon and Buchan, called the decision `deeply concerning` and will seek clarity on job impacts.
- Following pub removals and closures, 1,860 bars scrapped BrewDog's range and the firm closed ten bars amid founders stepping back and borrowing £20 million from TSG Consumer Partners.
