Ever since it was founded in 2011, Golden Road Brewing has had major aspirations to take over the craft beer market in Southern California. As LA County’s largest craft brewer, according to Street Insider it’s now going to be a part of beer giant Anheuser Busch Inbev, which also owns Goose Island, Blue Point Brewing, and 10 Barrel as part of its “High End Business Unit.” The terms of the deal were not reported.
