just going to leave this here....

Looks like Abita is selling out to the same private equity firm that now owns Harpoon... interested to see big of a 'stake in the company' is now owned by 'Enjoy Beer LLC'.

LINK

quote:

Less than nine months after selling at least a 40 percent stake in Harpoon Brewery, the country’s 15th largest craft beer company, co-founder and former CEO Rich Doyle is back in the game.

Backed by an investment from San Francisco-based private equity firm Friedman, Fleisher & Lowe (FFL), Doyle has launched Enjoy Beer LLC, a consortium aimed at providing back-office support to independent craft brewers.

According to a company statement, “Enjoy Beer will create partnerships with additional top craft brewers who wish to preserve their local independence, while gaining shared resources in areas such as marketing, sales, purchasing, logistics, and finance in order to compete with large-scale corporate competitors.”

Louisiana’s Abita Brewing is the group’s founding brewery partner. The brewery has reportedly sold a stake in the company to join the new enterprise, according to Beer Marketer’s Insights.

A more in-depth feature will follow this afternoon. In the meantime, Enjoy Beers’ official statement is below.

Yeah, I read the Abita release a couple times and it seems like a very well crafted press release. But it still sounded like they've sold some or all of their stake to this Enjoy Beer company.

FBD was a Lazy Magnolia Timber Beast at The Chimes. No pic, because I just forgot to take one.

well crafted and I'm sure it was intentionally vague on the ownership that remains with Abita.

The first time I skimmed though the release I read it as 'Enjoy By Company'.

Shared with a lot of FBD'ers. Actually didn't drink that much in terms of volume. An ounce or two of a bunch of different beers.

If you're celebrating #NationalBeerDay do it clothed unless with your lover. Too much alcohol can lead to unsafe sex.
