Tilray Medical, a division of Tilray Brands, Inc., is expanding access to medical cannabis for veterans through its Lyphe for Veterans programme during Armed Forces Weekend in Aldershot on June 27–28, 2026. Lyphe Clinic Ltd., which became part of Tilray Medical in April 2026 following Tilray Brands’ acquisition of Lyphe Group, will host a dedicated stand to engage directly with veterans, service members, and their families. The activation aims to educate the community on the patient journey and the financial support available through the programme, which is designed to remove barriers to regulated clinical assessment.

Lyphe for Veterans Programme Details

Launched in late 2025, the Lyphe for Veterans programme is open to veterans of any nationality aged 18 or over residing in the UK or Channel Islands who can provide proof of veteran status. The initiative covers various costs associated with medical cannabis treatment to facilitate access.

Strategic Expansion and Integration

The participation in Armed Forces Weekend underscores Tilray Medical’s commitment to building a connected healthcare platform in the UK. By integrating Lyphe’s clinic model and digital patient-access capabilities with Tilray’s international distribution network, the company aims to provide consistent and reliable medical cannabis access. The event in Aldershot, home to a significant Armed Forces population, is expected to draw between 20,000 and 40,000 attendees.

Rajnish Ohri, President, International, Tilray Brands, stated that the programme reflects patient-first innovation and reinforces the company’s mission to support veterans with care and discretion. The acquisition of Lyphe Group has established a vertically integrated platform spanning clinical care, dispensing, and pharmaceutical distribution across the region.

BrewDog, owned by Tilray Brands, reported record fan turnout and double-digit sales growth across its UK bar network during the FIFA World Cup, as supporters turned venues into high-energy destinations. The growth was fueled by packed venues, strong food and beverage sales, and rising demand for premium craft beer experiences that combine live sport, hospitality, and community.

The tournament accelerated demand for Tilray’s American craft beer portfolio across BrewDog’s UK business. Within the first week, consumer favourites including SweetWater Brewing Company, Montauk Brewing Company, and Blue Point Brewing Company sold through their initial inventory allocations in both bars and e-commerce channels, prompting immediate reorders. BrewDog’s own portfolio, led by Punk IPA, remained among the top-selling beers throughout the period.

Key Performance Highlights

Lauren Carrol, Chief Commercial Officer at BrewDog, attributed the success to the convergence of live sports and the strength of the craft beer category. She noted that the demand for American craft beer extends beyond match days, with consumers discovering brands both online and in bars. Carrol added that the tournament reinforced the role of bars as community gathering places where fans create memories and celebrate together.

BrewDog Waterloo, the UK’s largest bar, saw thousands of supporters gather for tournament action, with fans arriving early and staying longer. The venues offered expansive indoor viewing areas, air conditioning, and wall-to-wall match coverage, providing a comfortable environment for fans to beat the heat. As the tournament continues, BrewDog expects sustained momentum across its bar network.
