Brewdog co-founder leaves craft beer giant
Brewdog co-founder Martin Dickie announced his departure from the craft beer giant, citing personal reasons. Dickie, who founded the company alongside James Watt in 2007, recently ventured into the medicinal cannabis business. His exit comes as Brewdog faces challenges, including rising costs, increased regulations, and economic pressures, leading to the closure of several UK bars. Despite Dickie's departure, Brewdog CEO James Taylor praised his immense contributions to the company and the industry.
