Tilray is a diversified global consumer goods company and the fourth-largest craft beer brewer in the U.S.

Expanding U.S. Beer Presence

The multi-year licensing agreement with the Danish brewing giant will allow Tilray to produce and distribute Carlsberg, Carlsberg Elephant, 1664, and Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc beers in all U.S. channels starting Jan. 1, 2027.
