BREAKING BEER NEWS!

Salt Lake City’s heritage craft brewer, Uinta Brewing has been acquired by US Beverage an independent sales and marketing company that distributes other beer brands like Scotland’s Innis & Gunn in the US.
Based out of Stamford, Connecticut United States Beverage has up until now been primarily a beverage importer, but this deal will afford the company a significant American beer brand and its brewery in Salt Lake City.

Uinta Brewing began its journey in 1993 based out of a renovated mechanics garage in Salt Lake City, Utah.

In August 2014, Uinta announced that it had sold a percentage of the company to New York-based private equity firm The Riverside Company for an undisclosed amount. But that equity firm quietly exited the agreement in 2019.

Molson Coors is putting an end to its production of Saint Archer Beer immediately and will sell its San Diego-based brewery and taproom to Kings & Convicts Brewing Co., which owns the Ballast Point brand.

As part of the deal, Kings & Convicts will reportedly “take over Saint Archer’s 100,000-barrel capacity Miramar brewery and adjoining taproom, as well as its 1,200-square-foot taproom in Leucadia, Calif. Kings & Convicts, headquartered in San Diego and Highwood, Ill., plans to retain operations and retail team members at both locations.”

Saint Archer was founded in 2013 and acquired in 2015 by Molson Coors at the height of craft beer’s second emergence.
