They constantly buy up smaller breweries, or they essentially force them into a distributation agreement (such as a company like RedHook, which is who I am doing the audit on)
It has been either merge upon merge or just getting consolidated into one of the largers.
I don't have their 10k's handy, and with it being a highly regulated industry, their piss away alot of money on regulators and **** like that, but they aint struggling, their pockets/power, is pretty large
