On the eve of their milestone 10th anniversary party, the founders of Oakland Park's Funky Buddha Brewery have equally big news — and big future plans. Even as they're preparing for 10 days of festivities ahead, brothers KC and Ryan Sentz have announced they're officially buying back their brand from beer behemoth Constellation Brands. The purchase, for an undisclosed price, is expected to be finalized as early as mid-June, they say, ending nearly six years of ownership by the U.S. distribution company for popular beers such as Corona, Modelo and Pacifico.
