This week on Wednesday Warehouse, the gang discusses Tilray's acquisition of BrewDog's European operations, and Constellation Brands' GNS conference updates.

We also covered Reyes' expansion into 11 new markets through their RNDC acquisition, and discussed the potential sale of Four Loko, though no buyer was identified. The team also shared insights from the Canabev Summit, where industry leaders acknowledged the need to align with the three-tier system and avoid being associated with problematic edibles, while awaiting legislative decisions on hemp regulations expected by July.
