BrewDog Shuts Ellon Distillery and Exits Spirits in Multi-Month Wind-Down

The brewer cites a refocus on core lines after pressure in the spirits market.

Overview

  • Production of all distilling brands will end, with only the Wonderland cocktail range continuing.
  • Operations at the Ellon, Aberdeenshire distillery will stop indefinitely as remaining stock is sold and supply commitments are fulfilled.
  • BrewDog says it will contact Equity for Punks holders with whisky-related perks and Whisky Cask investors to outline next steps.
  • Local MP Harriet Cross flagged concerns over potential job losses and said she will seek details on the implications for staff.
  • Recent reports cited significant losses in 2022 and 2023 and widespread pub delistings of BrewDog beers as context for the decision.
