Overview
- McGregor wrote on X that he would “have a few pints” of his Forged Irish Stout in support of Brad Pitt after Pitt told Esquire he had ended seven years of sobriety.
- The post, shared Tuesday, included a reposted fan video of the stout being poured and noted the beer’s 4.2 percent alcohol content.
- McGregor had publicly committed to sobriety while preparing for his July comeback and then announced he underwent surgery to repair torn ACL and meniscus damage on August 3.
- Reporters say the return to drinking is notable because it mixes personal disclosure with promotion of his Forged Irish Stout brand and comes during a high‑profile rehabilitation period.
- Observers warn the decision could be a new variable for his planned 2027 return and say fans and medical staff will be watching whether drinking affects his rehab or fight-readiness.
