Barrel One Collective is in the process of adding another New England craft brewery to its growing roster. The Boston-headquartered platform has struck a deal to acquire Worcester, Massachusetts-based Greater Good Imperial Brewing, the only dedicated high-ABV craft producer in the country.

Refreshers are like opinions – no one’s the same, but everyone’s got one. Numerous fruity and colorful hard beverages have hit the shelves in the past two years, labeled as “refreshers,” but that is about where their similarities end.

Crystal Light Vodka Refreshers are rolling out to 10 states this month. A collaboration between Kraft Heinz and Harpoon maker Barrel One Collective, the 3.8% ABV vodka-based seltzer has 77 calories per 12 oz. serving, making it “the lowest-calorie ready-to-drink [RTD] cocktail on the market,” according to a press release.

Two New England legacy craft houses are merging in a deal that unites 14 brands. The parent companies of Harpoon and Smuttynose – Mass. Bay Brewing Company and FinestKind Brewing, respectively – have merged to form Barrel One Collective, the companies announced today in news first shared with Brewbound.
