Watt launches bid to buy BrewDog again; Second Best emerges as a reference point in the brewing saga. A public figure linked to the BrewDog bid cycle, with a background in corporate activity and industry influence.
BrewDog’s founder James Watt has tabled a bid to reacquire the Scottish craft beer business he co-founded, via a new firm, Second Best. The move follows Tilray’s rescue of BrewDog earlier this year and the company’s subsequent administration, which closed bars and left investors out of pocket. The ICO is reviewing potential GDPR concerns over shareholder data.
