Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney Expand Wrexham Ventures with Lager Brewery Acquisition

The Hollywood duo sells a minority stake in Wrexham AFC to acquire a historic brewery, aiming for global expansion.

Reynolds and McElhenney have become co-owners of Wrexham Lager, the oldest British lager brewery, founded in 1882.
The acquisition was made through Red Dragon Ventures, a joint venture with the Allyn family, who also invested in Wrexham AFC.
Wrexham Lager plans to expand its distribution to the U.S. and Canada, capitalizing on the popularity of the 'Welcome to Wrexham' series.
The Roberts family, previous sole owners of Wrexham Lager, will continue to play an active role in the business.
The actors' involvement is expected to boost the brewery's international production and marketing efforts.
