Latest News About James Watt New Beer Brand

I can share what’s publicly known up to now, but I don’t have live access to new feeds in this moment. Here’s what’s clearly reported about James Watt and any new beer-brand ventures in the recent past:

• James Watt, co-founder of BrewDog, stepped down as CEO in 2024 and took on a “captain and co-founder” role while remaining involved as a board member and adviser. This transition was publicly discussed in trade coverage at the time. [source coverage from The Grocer and Grocery Gazette reported the leadership change and new title in 2024][3][4]
• After stepping back from BrewDog’s day-to-day leadership, Watt launched or invested in various ventures, including Living Things (a functional soda brand) and other startup investments around 2024–2025, signaling a shift toward broader entrepreneurship beyond BrewDog’s core beer business.[5][8]
• In mid-2024, media coverage also highlighted Watt’s interest in influencer-marketing platforms, with reports that he planned to launch Social Tip, a platform aimed at helping ordinary consumers become influencers and monetize engagement with participating brands. This was tied to his post-BrewDog activities.[1]
• There has been ongoing industry chatter about BrewDog’s performance and Watt’s departure, but as of the latest widely reported items, there isn’t a well-documented, officially announced new beer-brand from Watt himself beyond his work with Living Things and other ventures. The reporting largely describes leadership changes at BrewDog and Watt’s broader entrepreneurial activities rather than a new beer brand launch by Watt himself.[3][5]
