Did another one bite the dust?

This is one that caught me off guard, I just plain didn’t see this. I am still seeking out more details, but initial things that I have read make this look like a solid merger. I really, really, really like this part “The transaction between Duvel Moortgat and Firestone Walker is expected to close later this year. It is an agreement between two private, family-owned companies, so no financial or contractual details will be disclosed.”

Hearing that, and then reflecting on Boulevard and Ommegang and looking at how they do business… I am intrigued how this is going to play out. I am almost excited for these guys.

That being said, Firestone tends to be distributed by ABInBev houses, at least here in Texas, while Duvel is generally a MillerCoors house. I am curious how THAT is going to play out in the coming weeks and months.

Interesting, stay tuned.
