Karbach Brewing Company

Karbach Brewing Company is a craft brewery based in Houston, Texas. Since 2016, it has been owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev. It was founded in 2011, when beverage industry veterans Chuck Robertson and Ken Goodman (of distributor C.R.

In 2013, The New Yorker noted that Karbach was the second fastest-growing craft brewery in the U.S.[2] In 2015, Karbach completed renovations on a $15 million expansion to its brewhouse, which also added an on-site restaurant.

Karbach was acquired by Anheuser-Busch InBev on November 3, 2016.[3]
