BrewDog has sold the 'rewilding' forest it bought for £8.8million only five years ago amid increasing financial pressure. The 'punk' brewery purchased Kinrara Estate, claiming it would be funded by sales of its Lost Forest beer, as it looked to reinvent itself as a 'carbon negative' beer producer. But half of the 500,000 trees planted died and it has now been sold to rewilding outfit, Oxygen Conservation. The firm, now run James Taylor after James Watt stood down in 2024, has previously promoted its lagers, ales and stouts as 'planet positive beer'. The collapse came as CEO James Taylor recently told investors that its financials did not make for 'happy reading'.
