Yup. For most it means better distribution, and the brands that still retain control at least stand a chance of maintaining their integrity I would think.

I still enjoy Ballast Point and Lagunitas.... And will forever love my Founders.... Mosaic Promise, mmmmm

So Firestone, boulevard, and Ommegang still count then? Would Duvel then qualify as a "craft" brewery?

Edit: effectively, Duvel bought all of them. This merger business with Firestone was marketing.

For faux you have shock top, but there is also groups like Small town brewery that makes Not Your Fathers root "beer" - owned by Pabst, and Redd's Brewing Company that makes Reds Apple "Ale" - owned by SABMiller. North American Breweries also owns Pyramid and a few other firmer craft breweries.

Where did this list come from? Its quite incomplete.

I saw this list at the Men's Journal website..Was a link to the list from an article that was linked in another thread in this forum about INBev acquiring another 'craft' brewery..

Interesting. Short comings aside, I'd love to see us fill this in! There are a few times I've wished I had a full list rather than just checking Wikipedia one brewery at a time.
