Blue Point Brewery (Patchogue, Long Island, NY) was purchased by Anheuser-Busch InBev back in 2014. I think that they may have learned their lesson when it comes to purchasing a craft brewery. The brewery remains in Patchogue and the owner/brewers are still in charge of production. In return, they have access to InBev's massive distribution network and deep pockets for expansion. Though I'm not happy about them being bought out, if it's got to be done then this is the way to do it.
