Firestone Walker Buys Cali-Squeeze Brand from SLO Brewing

Beverage Industry News» Business of Beerposted Apr 15th, 2021 04:54:34PM by Tom McCormick

Firestone Walker and SLO Brewing Co.  announced today that they have signed a definitive agreement for Firestone Walker to acquire SLO Brewing Co.’s Cali-Squeeze brand.

Cali-Squeeze is a line of flavored hefeweizens that include Blood Orange, Mango, and Tropical P.O.G. New to the brand family in 2021 is Cali-Squeeze Seltzer, a 6% hard seltzer.

“We have been close friends with Hamish and Rod for 20-plus years, and we’ve remained impressed with their commitment to innovation and the way they bring their brands to life,” said David Walker, co-founder of Firestone Walker. “Cali-Squeeze presents a unique beer style for us to explore through what we like to call ‘Fruits with Benefits.’  As a traditional hop-forward craft brewer, we have watched these styles evolve and we see Cali-Squeeze as the beer to help with that discovery.”

Since its founding in 1996, Firestone Walker has grown to become a leading craft brewer. Having stated that they would never enter the hard seltzer category, this was a soft way to hold true to that statement without letting the red-hot category fly by without them. They will likely use their state-of-the-art brewing facility and distribution platform to propel Cali-Squeeze to the next level. “Cali-Squeeze will retain its own identity while bringing a new beer style and brand proposition into the Firestone Walker family,” the press release stated.

Mammoth Brewing Acquires Lead Dog Brewing

Beverage Industry News» Business of Beerposted Apr 14th, 2021 03:51:32PM by Tom McCormick

Mammoth Brewing Company of Mammoth Lakes, California today announced the acquisition of Lead Dog Brewing in Reno, Nevada.

“Both brands will remain unique and distinct from each other,” said Sean Turner, owner of Mammoth Brewing

In a relatively slow start in mergers and acquisitions during the first quarter of 2021, this craft-on-craft deal may signal the start of more to come as the pandemic begins to loosen its grip on the industry.

Mammoth Brewing Company was founded as the first craft brewery in the Eastern Sierra in 1995 and operates a small brewery and tasting room in the ski town of Mammoth Lakes. The brewery also hosts the popular Mammoth Festival of Beers & Bluesapalooza in Mammoth Lakes in August. The deal will give Mammoth the much-needed production capacity to meet demand for its packaged beer which has previously been brewed under contract at great Basin Brewing in Reno, Nevada.

“There will be no change in brand names nor reduction in focus of either brand, and there are no plans to reduce personnel,” Turner said in a statement. “If anything, both brands are excited to grow with additional people, products & packages, and a revitalization of all locations. Mammoth Beers LLC, as the new parent company to both brands, has strong history of employee retention and engagement in our local communities.”

As the craft brewing industry slowly ramps back up after a 9% decline in volume production during 2020, it is expected that there will be additional craft-on-craft acquisitions and partnerships in coming months to increase efficiencies.
