I just heard that Elysian in Seattle has been purchased by Anheuser-Busch!
I think I have A-B's strategy figured out. If you can't make great beer on your own, go and purchase people that do make great beer.
I live in this neck of the woods and A-B has purchased 10 Barrell Brewing and Elysian in the past few months.
I'm not sure I like what's happening to the craft beer scene. We have such great craft and microbreweries here in the Pacific Northwest. It will be interesting to see if A-B leaves them alone and let's these breweries continue to do what they do best, which is make great beer with inspiration and imagination. I hope they let them continue to do what they do best.
