Mr Watt launched a fresh bid on Wednesday to buy back the company he co-founded

Brewdog founder James Watt has launched a swoop to regain control of the craft beer firm he founded, only months after it was bought by a US rival.

The co-founder of Brewdog has made a bid to buy back the beer brand after it was sold to a US cannabis firm earlier this year.

Mr Watt said 43,000 so-called equity punk investors had joined forces for the bid.
