Urban South Brewery, New Orleans, said it will add Florida-based Perfect Plain Brewing Co. to its expanding Southern family. Working collaboratively to achieve the fullest potential for both breweries, the acquisition will apply Urban South's well-established manufacturing and distribution capabilities to facilitate the distribution of Perfect Plain's locally-inspired craft beer throughout the Florida Panhandle.

Under the agreement, Urban South will assume operations of the hospitality brand that owns and operates four concepts in Pensacola: Perfect Plain Brewing Co., Garden & Grain, Perennial and The Well. The transaction will officially close on Oct. 1, and all entities will retain their current brands, operations and staff.
