Corona-based Monster Beverage Corp., maker of Monster Energy drink, is acquiring Colorado\u2019s Oskar Blues Brewery and several other brewing brands, as it makes its first foray into the alcoholic beverage space.<\/p>\n

According to an announcement Thursday, Monster has agreed to buy CANarchy Brewery Collective, which includes Oskar Blues, Florida\u2019s Cigar City Brewing Co., Dallas\u2019 Deep Ellum Brewing Co., Michigan\u2019s Perrin Brewing Co., and Utah\u2019s Squatters and Wasatch breweries.<\/p>\n

The $330 million cash deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2022 and does not include CANarchy\u2019s standalone restaurants. CANarchy will function independently, retaining its own organizational structure and team, led by current CEO Tony Short, according to the announcement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis transaction provides us with a springboard from which to enter the alcoholic beverage sector,\u201d said Hilton Schlosberg, Monster\u2019s vice chairman and co-chief executive officer. \u201cThe acquisition will provide us with a fully in-place infrastructure, including people, distribution and licenses, along with alcoholic beverage development expertise and manufacturing capabilities in this industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
