Several creditors of collapsed Scottish beer giant Brewdog are not expected to receive anything from the administration process.

A report from administrators AlixPartners said there were "insufficient funds" for payouts from Brewdog's retail arm - including £2.4m owed to HMRC for unpaid VAT.

Brewdog had also owed £489,000 for wages and holiday pay, which will not be paid through the administration process. Staff have instead received compensation from the UK government's Insolvency Service.

A settlement involving drinks equipment sold to Marylebone Cricket Club, which owns Lords, which generated £62,000.
