James Watt, the co-founder and chief executive of BrewDog, is to step down after 17 years at the helm of the Scottish brewer and chain of bars.
BrewDog, based in Ellon in Aberdeenshire, said Watt, who navigated the brewer’s meteoric rise from “punk” challenger to mainstream beer brand, informed the board last year of his plan to step back.
