James Watt has made another offer through his new company, Second Best, after his earlier attempt to buy BrewDog failed in March. Tilray Brands, which bought BrewDog for £33m, said it does not comment on speculation and remains happy with the business after investing about £50m more. Watt says 43,000 registered "equity punks" back his plan and would get free equity back if it succeeds.
