Why DuClaw Brewing is selling to New Jersey company

Dave Benfield did not have a clear exit strategy for the business he spent 25 years building. So when the opportunity to sell presented itself, the 53-year-old founder of DuClaw Brewing Co. seized the chance to spend more time with his family and focus on why he got into the brewing industry in the first place. The Rosedale-based brewery announced last week that it had sold to New Jersey’s River Horse Brewing Co. for an undisclosed amount.
