Anheuser-Busch clinched a deal to acquire Houston-based Karbach Brewing Company

HOUSTON, TX - Anheuser-Busch clinched a deal to acquire Karbach Brewing Co., a leading Texas craft brewer and one of the country’s fastest -growing craft brands. Karbach will now join other craft breweries within the The High End, the business unit within Anheuser-Busch.  This unit focuses on its craft and import brands. The co-owner of Karbach, Chuck Robertson released this statement about the deal:

In 2013, just two years after Karbach launched, the brewery made 17,000 barrels of beer, reaching 40,000 barrels just over a year later. The brewery then extended its capacity by building a new brewhouse at the end of 2014, equipped with the latest state-of-the-art technology and innovative equipment. Karbach opened an on-site restaurant, tap room, and biergarten last May. The company grew from Houston to the Dallas / Ft. Worth metroplex region in June of 2015.  Anheuser-Busch plans to invest in Karbach to realize a brewing capacity of 150,000 barrels per year by 2019.
