Faubourg Brewing merges with 3 others

This could be great. Their brewery is awesome, nice place to grab a bite and a pint but their beer sucks.

"Gayle Benson's Faubourg Brewing merges with 3 others to build regional craft beer powerhouse"

"The financial terms were not disclosed by the two privately-owned companies but they described the deal as "a 50/50 partnership", which would include additional investment by the Benson Group with plans to add more brewing capacity and to acquire additional craft beer companies.

"Our goal is to help New Orleans become as well known for its beer as it is for its cuisine and to see the local craft beer industry continue to grow and create quality jobs,” said Gayle Benson in a prepared statement. “Our partnership with Made By The Water allows us to grow the Faubourg brand, and bring in a partner that is a leader in building craft beer brands."

The Bensons bought Dixie Brewing Company, as it was then known, in 2017 with the promise that it would bring brewing back to the city. Dixie Brewing, founded in 1907, had been operating from its Tulane Avenue facility until Hurricane Katrina forced it to shut down and contract brewing to out-of-state breweries."
