So I wouldn't worry too much here. Elysian has its sister brewery in my home town (Fort Collins, CO) next to New Belgium. FC also happens to have a massive Bud Brewery right down the road from Elysian. Word back home is that in the agreement, AB would be hands off and would let Elysian still do its own thing. It's just a financial thing [I guess. If anything Elysian is now going to have massive financial backing to help bring even better brews to market.
