Anheuser-Busch Attempting To Purchase Cigar City Brewing

This from TBO:

Cigar City Founder and owner Joey Redner on Friday confirmed that the beer company’s representatives have reached out to him about buying his Tampa-based business.

Anheuser-Busch has a long history in the Tampa Bay area, having once operated a brewery and the Busch Gardens theme park here. The brewery closed in 1995, and the beer maker sold the park to investors in 2009.

“We have been approached about having a more in-depth meeting,” Redner said in an email, without getting into detail. “There hasn’t been a second meeting.”

An Anheuser-Busch spokesman declined comment, saying the company does not discuss its merger and acquisition strategy.
