Seattle's gon be pissed.

Who is Elysian? They make beer?I doubt anyone will throw that big of a fit over it.
I have zero dog in the actual fight, but yeah, you sell yourself like this and then sell out? Pshaw

Pretty soon there might be 8 feet of Ninkasi, Elysian, and 10 barrel.

We'll see. You're probably right. I more wonder what the grocery store shelves will look like here in the PNW with two more minor players becoming major players in the distro game now. Pretty soon there might be 8 feet of Ninkasi, Elysian, and 10 barrel.
Elysian also has 3 pubs in Seattle. That might have been a big factor, especially Elysian fields with all them sports dollaz.
I'd be a damn happy man if I started seeing 10 barrel crush variants out east

Wait wut? Is Ninkasi owned by someone else or are they just totally dominating the ditro game?
I see what you did there...
They have big distro game, partially due to affiliation with ABI owned distributors. Bombers in every gas station around these parts.
Textbook Moe Green behavior.

TFW an idiot's screed has no comments after.
That write-up was phenomenal. Very glad someone out there reached out to gather facts rather than the gag inducing chicken little "passion"/"emotion" reactions.http://www.brewbound.com/news/inside-b-inbevs-acquisition-elysian-brewing
Really good behind the scenes look and interview with one of the founders who voted against the sale
its funny how mad some people get, like they wouldn't make similar decisions when the $$ was waved in front of them.
these guys are finally getting paid for years of hard work. Can't blame them for wanting to cash out and think about the future.
sounds like 'somebody besides abi' either wasn't offering enough money or was offering terms the the owners didn't like.
Elysian wasn't publicly fielding offers. I doubt anyone else really got a fair shot at making an offer.
According to this, that isn't entirely true...they sought out offers from private equity firms, and got some with apparently more money on the line, but didn't want to deal with the pump and dump possibility of having private equity money involved.

Do people really care about when a brewery gets bought by AB/Inbev?
I'm just saying people still wake up at 4 in the morning to wait in line for beer made by a brewery that AB bought in 2011. Doesn't seem to be influencing anything.You cared enough to respond.

Hey, let's not talk about things that could affect all the beer in America, on a beer site.BA just closed a "Beer Talk" thread that was asking if people thought AB InBev were inherently bad or good for the industry in light of their past and present acquisitions.
