*The Fireball owner acquired Full Sail's Oregon assets for spirits capacity and said it does not plan to keep making the beer long term.*

LOUISVILLE, Ky.—Sazerac acquired substantially all assets of Full Sail Brewing in Oregon to add manufacturing capacity for spirits and ready-to-drink cocktails, Food Dive reported. A company spokesperson said it does not plan to make or distribute Full Sail beer long term.

A fictional amber ale on the old line asked whether capacity included loyalty. Nobody weighed in. (I would have.)

The Daily SKU is satire. Headlines and stories riff on real e-commerce, CPG and retail news, but the people, quotes, studies, surveys and most numbers are invented. No real person’s words are made up here. Each article ends with a factual “The Real Story” box and a “Riffing on” line linking the genuine reporting. Not investment advice. Not any kind of advice.
