Craft Brew Alliance Chief Executive Officer Andy Thomas said, "While disappointing, with this decision made, management can turn its attention to refining strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value."
Craft Brew Alliance confirmed that Anheuser-Busch has not made a qualifying offer to purchase the remaining shares of the Company as indicated in the 2016 International Distribution Agreement.
