Overview
- Confidential industry data reveal BrewDog’s draught range has disappeared from about 1,860 UK pubs over two years, cutting its on-trade distribution by more than a third.
- Punk IPA has been dropped from roughly 1,980 taps, marking a 52.3% decline in its pub presence.
- Most delistings occurred at large managed pub chains narrowing their beer ranges in favour of rivals like Camden Town and Beavertown.
- After closing 10 underperforming bars last month, BrewDog is reallocating staff across its remaining sites.
- Consecutive losses leave the brewer unprofitable this year under CEO James Taylor, and its growing reliance on JD Wetherspoon’s 794 outlets raises concentration risk for Punk IPA.
