Plant-Based Panther M*lk Maker Closes After Financial Difficulties

Beastly Brews, the Glasgow-based drinks company known for its oat milk-based alcoholic beverage Panther M*lk, has shut down due to financial difficulties, resulting in the loss of jobs for all employees. Founded in 2020 by Paul Crawford, the company gained attention for its unique product, which was inspired by a Spanish drink and appeared on BBC's Dragons' Den. Despite initial success and securing investment on the show, Beastly Brews faced challenges when deals to supply to major supermarket chains like Tesco and Sainsbury's fell through, leading to cashflow issues.

With approximately 17,400 bottles of Panther M*lk in stock, the liquidator is currently working to dispose of the remaining product. The company generated a turnover of £175,000 between October 2024 and May 2025 before ceasing operations. Donald McKinnon, the appointed liquidator, expressed regret over the closure of the innovative drinks company, highlighting its potential for success.
