R&D Brewing Co. purchased Bull Durham Beer Co., the first brewery in America to operate in a Minor League baseball stadium. Terms weren’t disclosed.
Founded in 2015 by Capitol Broadcasting Co. (WRAL, Raleigh, N.C., among other outlets), Bull Durham Beer is brewed at the home ballpark of the Durham Bulls. CBC also owns the Bulls, which came to fame as the centerpiece of the classic movie ‘Bull Durham’ and has won 14 league championships in since 1917.
Operations will remain as they were with the majority of brewing happening at the landmark ballpark by head brewer Tate Little.
