- Six months after its acquisition by General Mills, Annie’s Inc. president John Foraker took to the General Mills blog to talk about how the merger is going—and according to Foraker, it’s going very well, with General Mills respecting and upholding the Annie’s mission. As far as General Mills’ overall position in the organics space, Foraker expresses confidence that “the positive impact that Annie’s will have upon General Mills is significantly underestimated,” and that “in the years ahead, General Mills will be much more successful in this space than most people think.” Definitely an update worth checking out. ~ General Mills Blog

- The grand irony of Budweiser’s anti-craft beer ad was that its recent acquisition Elysian Brewing Co. has made pumpkin peach ale. But once the ad was out, it was only a matter of time before other craft breweries stepped up to the plate to take a crack at the flavor combination. We’re not at all surprised that a San Diego craft brewery is one of them. This week, shots were fired from Amplified Ale Works in Pacific Beach. ~ YouTube
