In 2015, we acquired Untappd, an app that hosts the largest network of beer enthusiasts in the world. A year later, the company launched Untappd for Business, a separate B2B platform that provides leading menu and events publishing software to beverage producers and retailers.

In early 2020, we acquired BeerAdvocate, the country’s most sophisticated digital platform for beer news, forums, and reviews, and secured funding from Providence Strategic Growth to fuel continued growth of the core business while also acquiring industry-leading software and media platforms.

The end of 2020 brought two more strategic acquisitions: Oznr, a platform that removes the headache of running high-value beer releases, and Hop Culture, the leading digital media platform for Millennial drinkers.

In 2021 we acquired Ollie and Fermentable, bringing the power of SaaS to address brewery and order/inventory management needs.
