About Craft Brewers Alliance – Craft Brewers Alliance, Inc. operates the Widmer Brothers brewery in Portland, Ore., and Redhook breweries in Woodinville, Wash., and Portsmouth, N.H. The Company distributes its award-winning products and those of Kona Brewing Company throughout the United States via a network of wholesale distributors and a distribution alliance with Anheuser-Busch, Incorporated.

Widmer Brothers was founded by brothers Kurt and Rob Widmer in 1984.
