Anheuser-Busch has purchased their third brewery in 7 days- Colorado-based Breckenridge Brewery. To be a part of their “high-end” line.
The terms of the deal have not been disclosed. (As usual)
“Breckenridge Brewery has a long history of innovation and they continue to brew new and exciting beers, from their specialty brews like the Mountain Series that celebrates the brewery’s origin as a ski town brewpub, to their planned nitro can series,” said Andy Goeler, CEO, Craft, The High End. “They are innovative and have built an amazing business that’s enabled them to get their great beers to fans across the country. We look forward to even more growth together.”
