Granite City Food & Brewery Explores a "Strategic Transaction" - Will Shareholders Benefit?

I've happened across an interesting situation in Granite City Food & Brewery, Ltd. On Monday evening, the company released its preliminary 2014 results and also announced it would explore a "strategic transaction." These words are music to investors' ears, because they often portend a sale of the business in the near future, or some other value creating action by the company. As I read the announcement, I felt that little twinge of excitement that always arrives when I suspect I've stumbled onto something good. The market felt the same thing and bid shares up 27% on Tuesday to close at $1.85, with a bid/ask mid-point of $2.20. While the price rise cooled my interest a little, I was still eager to begin my due diligence, hoping I might find a cheap company ripe for a rich takeover offer.
