C&C has been a small minority shareholder and a brewing partner for Innis & Gunn for a number of years.
It said the deal represents "an attractive opportunity for the group to further broaden its branded portfolio with a premium well-established brand".
The integration of Innis & Gunn is expected to present a very low execution risk, with the brand being fully absorbed into C&C’s existing operational, commercial and supply chain infrastructure.
Chief executive Roger White said: "We have worked with Innis & Gunn for many years and whilst it's under difficult circumstances, we are delighted to bring the brand fully into our portfolio. This is a compelling and highly synergistic opportunity to save a well-loved brand for which we currently brew most of the product.
"Our existing brewing and route-to-market platform allows us to integrate the brand effectively and quickly, supporting the ongoing supply of products to customers and consumers. We expect this acquisition to make a small positive contribution to our overall financial performance in FY27."
