Lagunitas Brewing Sells 50% of Company to Heineken AS PREDICTED
(Petaluma,CA) – Just weeks after The Full Pint ran their informal poll asking our readers which craft brewery might be involved in the next acquisition, poll leader Lagunitas Brewing made fantasy a reality. News broke this morning via The Press Democrat, a Sonoma Valley based newspaper.
“Lagunitas Brewing Co. announced a deal Tuesday morning to form a partnership with Heineken International, the world’s third-largest beer company, as it looks to take its hoppy craft beers and irreverent business ethos across the world.
