R&D Brewing Acquires Bull Durham Beer Co.

January 10, 2019

Press Release: R&D Brewing Co.

Industry Veterans to Maintain Ballpark-based Brewery and Operations, Look to Expand Reach of Iconic Brand

DURHAM, NC – January 10, 2019 –  R&D Brewing Company has purchased Bull Durham Beer Co., the first brewery in America to operate in a Minor League baseball stadium.

Founded in 2015 by Capitol Broadcasting Company, Bull Durham Beer is brewed at the home ballpark of, arguably, the most famous minor league baseball team in the world: The Durham Bulls. CBC also owns the Bulls, which came to fame as the centerpiece of the classic movie ‘Bull Durham’ and has won X league championships in the past X years.

Operations will remain as they were with the majority of brewing happening at the landmark ballpark by head brewer Tate Little.

“There are few breweries in this country with as unique of a setting and history attached to them as Bull Durham Beer,” says John Glover, R&D Brewing. “We see a tremendous opportunity to take this iconic brand and combine it with our brewing industry expertise to make Bull Durham Beer a household name for craft brew.”

R&D Brewing is a team of industry veterans with more than 120 years of brewing experience who came together to start their own brewery in Downtown Raleigh.

“Our family has had a long relationship with John and his team and we’re confident that the vision he has for Bull Durham Beer will take this brand to new heights,” says Michael Goodmon, senior vice president, CBC. “I can’t wait to see Bull Durham Beer in the hands of thirsty baseball fans coast to coast.”

R&D Brewing purchased Bull Durham Beer for an undisclosed sum.
