While only a few have a small footprint in the U.S., Aphria recently pushed forth in its pursuit to link up with an established brewing company this week. Sweetwater Brewing, known for its pot-related branding, inked a deal with the pot company. The strategic arrangement has Aphria putting up $300 million U.S. with an expected close before the end of the year. Not only does the deal give Aphria access to a U.S.-based brewing company's operations, but it also provides the company with footing in what could become one of the largest cannabis markets in the world.
