Reynolds, McElhenney Purchase Historic Wrexham Lager

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have sold a minority stake in Wrexham AFC to the Allyn family, known for their previous ownership of the Welch Allyn medical device company, as part of efforts to secure fresh investment for the club. This partnership aims to further elevate Wrexham's ambitions after the club's recent promotions to League One. In a humorous twist, the duo also announced their acquisition of the historic Wrexham Lager brewery, which dates back to 1882, and plans to expand its distribution into the U.S. and Canada. The acquisition was made through Red Dragon Ventures, a joint venture with the Allyn family, who are also minority investors in the football club. Reynolds and McElhenney expressed excitement about their new roles, highlighting the brewery's storied history and their desire to write its next chapter. Their combined efforts are expected to enhance community ties and boost local commerce in Wrexham, especially following the success of their documentary series 'Welcome to Wrexham.'
