Analysis: Tilray Brands Buys Brewdog for $44M — a Dramatic Fall From Its $2B+ Peak Valuation
Tilray Brands, Inc. acquired BrewDog for £33 million, or $44 million, a sum representing a massive drop from the Scottish craft brewery’s peak $2.7 billion valuation. Tilray, a New York-based consumer packaged goods company producing cannabis and beverage products, assumes ownership of the global brand, UK brewing operations, and 11 brewpubs around the UK and Ireland. BrewDog began eyeing potential buyers when it hired the consulting firm AlixPartners to oversee its sale last month. The purchase comes after a string of losses for the brand, which had made strides as a leading craft brewery after its 2007 founding.

🎧220: Jen Williams – Arrow and Branch
Jennifer Williams joins Jim to talk about her work as a contract winemaker, leading Arrow & Branch and co-owning Zeitgeist Cellars with her husband, Mark Porembsky. They dig into the design and philosophy of the new Arrow & Branch custom crush facility in Oak Knoll—its flexible tank mix, "white glove" service model, and how it's built to handle challenging vintages and a range of client brands. Jennifer explains the stylistic goals and vineyard sourcing for Zeitgeist, including heritage whites like Chenin Blanc and Trousseau Gris, and a Cabernet Franc program that uses barrel fermentation and moderate maceration to shape tannins. Along the way they get into pick-date decisions and herbaceous character in Cabernet Franc, managing slow malolactic fermentations, the realities of custom crush pricing and client expectations, and how small Napa brands are navigating a tougher wine market through relationships, thoughtful growth, and authentic visitor experiences.

videoAre 25 Year Old Chilean Value Wines Still Drinakable?
Description Written By Chat GPT Founded in 1850 by Christian Lanz and named for his wife, Viña Carmen holds a special place in Chilean wine history as the country’s first and oldest winery. Its story became even more significant in 1994, when Carmen’s vineyards yielded the rediscovery of Carmenère, a variety that had long been mistaken for Merlot and was first bottled by Carmen in 1996. The 1998 Winemaker’s Reserve Red is a fascinating snapshot of Carmen’s earlier winemaking style. The blend is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Grande Verde, 20% Petit Syrah and 10% Merlot, with a year in French oak followed by another year of bottle aging. The wine would later evolve into what Carmen calls its Red Cabernet Sauvignon Blend. With nearly three decades of age, this bottle shows the expected development of a mature Chilean red. The fruit has moved from primary black-fruit character toward more savory, earthy and tertiary notes. Black pepper and a subtle green-pepper character emerge alongside

Why Albariño is more than a refreshing summer wine
Albariño has become a familiar name for wine lovers looking for something fresh, vibrant and a little different. But there's much more to this grape than a chilled glass of crisp white wine. Inspired by her recent study trip to Rías Baixas, Julia Lambeth DipWSET, an educator at WSET School London, explores what makes Albariño distinctive, what conditions it needs to thrive and how growers and winemakers are creating a surprisingly broad range of styles. From Vinho Verde to Uruguay, the story of Albariño may start in Spain but it doesn't end there. You can watch the original webinar recording on the WSET Global Events Hub. What makes Albariño distinctive Albariño tends to perform best in moderate climates, where it can retain its naturally high acidity without losing ripeness. That fine balance is why it often grows well in coastal regions. One of the key things to note about this variety is that it has relatively thick skins. For a white grape, that can be easy to overlook because the

Sixteen years
In a few days' time it will be the sixteenth anniversary of Greg's death. Sixteen years. That is almost half of the time we were married together. On the day he died, I wondered how I would cope without him and couldn't envisage getting to a stage where I would have ever coped through sixteen years. So much has happened since, either that he has missed himself or I have had to deal with. Just the general upkeep of the house and garden alone with major decisions to make on my own about what to get repaired or renovated and when, dealing with the finances and hiring tradesmen. Being able to discuss it with someone and share the problems made it so much easier when there was the two of us, although to be fair in his latter years he was so drunk, he left it all to me anyway. He missed out on our daughter leaving school, going to university, graduating, becoming a doctor, getting married. I was the one supporting her, financing her, visiting her. I even got the job of doing the Father
