Nooooo!!!!! Stone Brewing sold out to Japan.. Sapporo buys Stone

Arrogant Bastard will now have a slant

168 Million closes in August

Just kidding, they are pretty good, hopefully Sapporo keeps the recipes the same

The Tap Room near San Diego is off the hook

Was one of the best in the country

I was looking for MolsonCoors to buy them

Didn’t they have a double bastard? Stone brewing I mean, not the tap room. I remember buying a double bastard or something like that and it was simply divine!

Yes there was a Double Bastard

I have a 3 liter bottle (now empty)

Cheers to all our fallen homies

Buy a full one, asap. They don’t have them in the country I’m in.

Koch explained to the website Fortune: “This move signals nothing in that regard,” he says. “Stone Brewing will never sell out. Stone Brewing is sacrosanct. We’re not interested in participating in a cash grab. There are two ways of operating a business – commodity or artisan. We operate as an artisan. We make decisions based on our passions. … Anybody that thinks commodity can operate as an artesian is ignoring the basic facts about how businesses operate.”

Sad they sold out

New CEO

She came in and sold them right away

She has a history of this

She sold Lagunitas to Heineken in 2017

They bought Saint Archer in San Diego, it was a bust

Not really a bad thing. Japan only goes after products they think are of the highest standard. They run companies very well and are into authenticity and quality.p
Nothing to be afraid of, they are very into proper beer.

Check hintanco white owl. Amazing

once jad an american beer called sierra nevada, good drop.

I can think of a lot worse places to sell it to than Japan.

In fact I see a high probability that Japan taking over will bring some improvements in the company's production and distribution of beer. Don't you?

Dude that’s just Stone cold!

Lower prices. Only the boring original stone is decently priced.

Collective Arts Brewing in Hamilton and Wellington County Brewing are at least as good as Stone, IMHO better.

I just did some Recon

Molson Coors is partnering with Yuengling

That was there big move of the last couple of years

Buying Stone would have doubled their exposure risk

I thought about it for a day.. Sapporo was the perfect choice for Stone

Other companies would have watered down the beer and taken away some of the creative marketing

Sapporo wants to keep Stone as is.. just expanded

A big secret move don't know is the Huge Market Cap of Sapporo

240 Billion is the market cap for Sapporo

Inbev is 100 Billion

So Sapporo is 2.4 Times the size of Inbev by market cap

Sapporo is a Juggernaut.. a hidden one

They did well with this buy

Both sides did

I 100% Agree with you

Sierra Nevada will get scooped up by Inbev

They need a good hugely produced craft beer to add to their inventory of brands

Thinking the same thing

Production of Stone will double

Also Sapporo beer will be brewed at Stone Plants

So Sapporo will be in more restaurants and convenient stores in the US

Cassidy Hutchinson is a Stone Cold Fox

I don't know about lower prices man

Not with Biden's American

Oh yeah.. and we got to blame Putin for high beer prices

Will have to look them up

Thanks for the recommendation
