Heinekenitas
Much like any other joint venture, I'd suspect.
Except, this is nothing like a joint venture.
Decent biz insider article on the sale and why it was done. Sounds like maybe the original investors started clamoring for a hefty buyout.

I foresee a few new lagers from Lagunitas...

It's already begun! Imperial Pils...
I'd have to fault Lagunitas for not having a business plan to one day buy out their investors, either through employee ownership, or just outright ownership from working capital.
Ill never understand getting mad at a brewery for being able to have someone buy their brand. Dont get all butthurt because they didnt consult you before they cashed out. Theres alot of little guys, me, that would love to have someone bigger swoop in with some cash. So if it really peeves you get out there and find the newest small guy and pump the money you are withholding from Lagunitas and give it to them.
