Labatt buys Calgary craft beer company Banded Peak

Banded Peak, one of Calgary’s destination taprooms along what has been dubbed the ‘Barley Belt,’ has been acquired by Labatt. Labatt is part of Anheuser-Busch InBev, which also houses other global brands like Budweiser, Stella Artois, and Corona. “It’s going to mean lots of growth,” said Alex Honer, head brewer and one of the three founders of Banded Peak. "It was the dream you have in the back of your head but it's not something we ever though was possible."
