Aug 13 (Reuters) - Tilray Brands ( TLRY ) would buy four
craft breweries from beer maker Molson Coors ( TAP/A ) in a bid to
expand business beyond its range of cannabis products, the
company said on Tuesday .
The pot producer would acquire Hop Valley Brewing Company,
Terrapin Beer Co, Revolver Brewing and Atwater Brewery and
expand its portfolio, adding 30% new beer-buying customers.
The company has acquired several spirits and beverages
makers over the past year to boost its crafts beer portfolio,
amid weakness in the cannabis business.
Tilray did not immediately respond to a Reuters' request for
comment on the deal's financial details.
Last year, the company had bought eight beer and beverage
brands from Anheuser-Busch InBev for $85 million in
cash.
Shares of Tilray Brands ( TLRY ) rose and Molson Coors ( TAP/A ) were up 5% and
1.9%, respectively, in the afternoon trade.
