Ciclad has acquired a majority stake in FrogPubs, alongside its founder and CEO, Paul Chantler. Ciclad had been an investor in the group until 2014 and has thus an extensive knowledge of the business and a good relationship with the CEO. This is the 10th investment of Ciclad 6.

Founded in 1993, FrogPubs is a pub chain operating 10 English pubs, 8 of which are located in Paris, the other ones being in Toulouse and Bordeaux. What sets the group apart is that it owns its own brewery, producing all types of beers (blonde ale, IPA, stout, etc.) with each recipe developed in-house. These critically-acclaimed beers have received multiple prestigious awards throughout the years: International Brewing Awards, World Beer Awards, International Beer Challenge…

The new shareholders aim to grow the group and leverage its legitimacy in craft beers to further expand its sales in supermarkets.
