  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Reynolds took to X on Wednesday afternoon to announce the purchase of Wrexham Lager, sharing a silent video of himself and McElhenney enjoying a can and using 1882-era technology – the year Wrexham Lager was founded – to confirm the news.

  "Took this whole 'Hold my beer' thing to its logical conclusion. Welcome to Wrexham Lager," Reynolds wrote.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Reynolds and McElhenney have made a major impact in Wrexham since becoming co-owners of the club in 2021, and this is another example of their efforts not just to support the football team but the community as a whole.

• WHAT REYNOLDS & MCELHENNEY SAID

  “As co-chairmen of Wrexham AFC, we have learned a lot,” Reynolds and McElhenney said in a statement. “The connection between club and community, the intricacies of the offside rule and the occasional need for beer – especially after finance meetings.

  “Wrexham Lager has a 140-year-old recipe and a storied history and we’re excited to help write its next chapter.”
