Anheuser-Busch (AB-InBev) has acquired another craft brewery – 10 Barrel Brewing (Bend, OR).
“For the past eight years, we’ve been brewing beer, drinking beer and having fun doing it.” said co-founder Jeremy Cox, who will continue to lead 10 Barrel along with his partners, co-founder and brother Chris Cox, and Garrett Wales. “We are excited to stay focused on brewing cool beers, get our beers in more hands, and make the most of the operational and distribution expertise of Anheuser-Busch,” said Cox.
10 Barrel Brewing will produce around 40,000 barrels (1.2 million gallons) this year. The amount of the deal was not disclosed. The purchase does include 10 Barrel’s three brewpubs in Bend, Portland, and Boise, Idaho.
My favorite brewpub in Bend. Hopefully AB doesn’t change anything.
You’re kidding right? Change anything? Hahaha
As a previous AB employee this brewery will not be seen the same way i.e. Goose Island
Another beer I will never buy again from AB. The list is very long, but thankfully the US has thousands of more breweries these guys haven’t bought YET.
