Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are reportedly set to revive Wrexham Lager.

The Hollywood duo bought local football club Wrexham AFC five years ago, taking the team from non-league to England's second tier, and showing their journey in a Disney+ documentary series with tourism in the area booming.

Now, the MailOnline has revealed the friends, both 48, are looking to revitalised the Wrexham Lager beer brand.

According to the outlet, the application reads: "The Wrexham Lager proposals, consisting a brewery and associated taproom and museum, will utilise existing buildings on the site."

They took co-ownership of the brand - one of the team's sponsors - in 2024, and now they have some plans for one of the world's oldest lagers.

Ryan is said to be keen to open a venue proviing "an attractive welcome to the city of Wrexham".

As part of a super brewery and visitors centre, the project would feature tasting rooms open to match day fans as well as other tourists.

Welsh football club made history earlier this year at the end of the 2024/25 season by becoming the first team in the English league system to win three consecutive promotions and the Deadpool actor revealed his fragile emotional state before the historic feat was achieved.

Speaking in the finale of the fourth season of documentary Welcome to Wrexham, Ryan said: "I feel very nervous, like, very very nervous.

"Like, adult diaper nervous."

Ryan's nerves came before Wrexham's promotion rivals Wycombe Wanderers lost 1-0 to Leyton Orient in April, which allowed the club to seal promotion to the Championship by beating Charlton Athletic 3-0 later that day.

The 48-year-old star explained: "That was the moment I think all of us, everybody, the entire town, went 'Holy s***, this could happen.'

"We could not only be promoted, but we could make history while doing it."
