Another one closer to home and somewhat surprising:
"On December 2, 2014, CBA entered into a strategic partnership agreement with Boone, NC-based Appalachian Mountain Brewery (AMB).[16] As part of the partnership, CBA acted as "master distributor" for AMB, allowing their products to ship via the Anheuser-Busch InBev distributor network. CBA had taken an undisclosed, minority stake in AMB. On October 10, 2018, CBA announced that it acquired 100% of the AMB brand, brewery, and pub. The transaction closed November 29, 2018."

But wait, there's more to the acquisition frenzy:
"On September 25, 2015, CBA announced a strategic partnership agreement with Nantucket-based Cisco Brewers.[17] As with previous partner, AMB, CBA acted as "master distributor" for AMB, allowing their products to ship via the Anheuser-Busch InBev distributor network. CBA had taken an undisclosed, minority stake in Cisco Brewers. On October 10, 2018, CBA announced that it had acquired 100% of the Cisco intellectual property assets related to its malt beverage products; Cisco's founders continue to own and operate the Cisco Brewers brewpub properties and retail merchandising, including the original brewery and grounds in Nantucket."

Shrugs again; another "who are these folks and why would InBev want this isolated brewery?"
"On December 15, 2016, CBA announced a strategic partnership agreement with Miami, FL-based Wynwood Brewing Co. ("Wynwood"). CBA took a 24.5% stake in Wynwood, valuing the deal at under $30 Million. As with previous partners AMB and Cisco Brewers, CBA acted as "master distributor" for Wynwood, allowing their products to ship via the Anheuser-Busch InBev distributor network. On October 10, 2018, CBA announced that it had acquired the remaining 75.5% of equity in Wynwood, making Wynwood a wholly owned subsidiary of CBA, although Wynwood co-founders Luis Brignoni and his father “Pops” Brignoni would continue to run the operations."

And, from an article in October, 2020, the deal is (alledgedly) complete:

"The world’s largest multinational brewery, AB InBev, has completed its acquisition of the Craft Brew Alliance more than 20 years after the companies became connected."

The last leg of the WI - OH - NC - VA beer run is complete! ACCfanfrom1970 has his supply! No bottles broken, no cans "missing". At least none that I'll ever admit to!

Enjoyed my first Cran-bic last night. It was a delightful ending to an otherwise non-delightful day.
Absolutely up there with the best fruit beers I've had. I'm a big cranberry juice fan anyway so this was right up my alley.
I can see the Cranberry champagne comparison.
Easy Cat 3. I'm not going to try to rank my fave fruit beers but this was definitely top 5 or so. Next I get to try the Apple Ale!
Thanks dd and family for doing all the work! Hope you enjoy your RVA beers as much as I enjoy these.

Has anyone heard from fuse?
Don't want to step on his toes if he prefers setting up the VBP. I do have a zoom account so I can set it up - don't know how early you usually share the information.
Ha! RJ199 did a countdown one time with 100 bottles of beer on the wall. I like your spirit/count-up better!!
Our monthly Virtual Pub is this Saturday with DukieInKansas hostessing and wine barrel-aged beer is the topic, but any beverages are welcome, with or without alcohol but there may be snickers if you show up with a mega brewery product . Come join us!! She's very likely to have a Zoom session where you can put names with faces (yea, I know, a potentially frightening prospect )
