Beer Ownership, who owns who

One of the most difficult aspects of navigating the modern craft beer landscape—and a big part of why we think the term “craft” has probably just about outlived its usefulness as a descriptor in general—is that so many breweries are now owned by larger corporations that it’s very difficult to tell who owns what at a glance

The infographic is also non-preferential in terms of breweries that still qualify for the “craft” label, as defined by the Brewers Association. As a result, you’ll see groups here such as private equity group Fireman Capital, which now owns the likes of Oskar Blues, Cigar City, Perrin Brewing Co. and others. You’ll also see Duvel, which has done quite well for itself in acquiring acclaimed breweries Ommegang, Boulevard and Firestone Walker, among others.

There are, of course, a few minor mistakes—10th & Blake, for instance, simply manages Pilsner Urquell, which is actually owned by Asahi—but the infographic gets across almost all of the most important information at a glance, which is the important thing.
