If a hospitality group and a decidedly non-craft brewery snap up two craft brewers it can only mean one thing: craft beer is hot. In early February 2017, Dixon Hospitality Group, Australia's largest non-gaming pub group, bought the Hawthorn Brewing Company for an undisclosed sum.

Analysts seem to be crowding in on Japan’s brewer Asahi to sell its stake in China’s number two brewer Tsingtao, media reported on 27 January 2017.

Call that a business plan? Australia's most decorated whisky brand, Sullivans Cove, was sold in December 2016 for an undisclosed sum with the owners admitting that they had underestimated the demands for capital needed to grow the business and therefore chose an exit.
