Asahi Buys Mountain Goat Brewery

Asahi Holdings (Australia) has bought Melbourne-based craft brewer, Mountain Goat Beer.

Owners, Cam and Dave said on Monday night: “We’ve been contract partners with Asahi for three years now, and with their expert help, our beer has grown in demand, expanded nationally, and found a special place with beer lovers.”

“We are confident with Asahi on board, we will be able to convert many more people to craft beer than we could do on our own.”

Although working under a contractual agreement with Ashai, Mountain Goat Beer will continue to operate as a stand-alone business in Melbourne.

“We’re sticking around. We want to ensure focus remains on the beer – on its quality of course, but also to continue to innovate and collaborate with other passionate members of the craft beer community”, Cam and Dace added.

“This was a key aspect of the sale for both sides.”
