The largest beer conglomerate in the world has slurped up Cleveland's Platform Beer Co.

Ever-thirsty Anheuser-Busch InBev announced Aug. 7 that it acquired Platform — founded in Ohio City in 2014 by Paul Benner and Justin Carson — as the latest "partner" in its Brewers Collective, a portfolio of once-independently owned craft beer companies that includes the likes of Elysian Brewing Co. (Seattle) and AB's flagship craft brand Goose Island Beer Co. (Chicago).

Platform will be the 13th craft brand in the Brewers Collective when the deal closes around the end of the third quarter. It is a 100% acquisition by AB.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

"In speaking with the other craft brewery founders in Brewers Collective, we know partnering with Anheuser-Busch means we will have the resources and the autonomy to bring our vision for Platform Beer Co. to life," Benner said in a news release. "Being able to continue leading the day-to-day operations was an important factor in our decision and we have no doubt that this partnership will benefit our loyal staff and passionate customer base."
