It comes as a surprise, then, to many people that many craft breweries are actually owned by larger companies. Anheuser-Busch began purchasing stakes in smaller, craft breweries in the '90s, acquiring a portion of Redhook Ales in '94 followed by Widmer Brothers in '97, according to VinePair. However, when Anheuser-Busch was acquired by InBev to form the international and brewing company AB InBev in 2008, Anheuser-Busch became connected to many more small brewers. So what beers are connected to Anheuser-Busch today? AB InBev currently owns a large number of craft breweries, which Anheuser-Busch calls partners on its website.
