USA & Canada: New Belgium Brewery to enter the beer market of Canada
|
New Belgium Brewing Co. is branching out internationally, starting with the Great White North in September, Coloradoan reported on July, 17.
Canadian distribution will begin on September, 6 and will be limited to British Columbia, according to Brewing Sales Co-Pilot Brian Krueger.
“We’ve been looking internationally a little bit,” Krueger said. “And Canada, especially British Columbia, became a natural fit.”
He said he was impressed that Canadians knew about New Belgium and expects a great response.
When distribution starts, it will include Fat Tire, Shift and a seasonal beer. After about 60 days, the company will begin to “gradually introduce the rest of the portfolio,” Krueger said.
The move is part of a large expansion for the company. New Belgium became available in Florida last month and will be available in Delaware by the middle of August. It is looking to reach into Utah before the end of the year.
The company this year increased capacity at its Fort Collins brewery enough that it has pushed back construction on a new brewery in Asheville, N.C., until 2014. The company now distributes in 32 states.

USA, TX: Freetail Brewing Co. to open a second facility
|
Freetail Brewing Co.’s owner, Scott Metzger, confirmed that 2000 S. Presa St., San Antonio, TX is where he's hoping to open another Freetail facility to produce beer to sell wholesale, My San Antonio reported on July, 18.
Metzger confirmed that he is in talks to secure the building and hopes to finalize a deal within a few weeks.
Metzger wrote on the Freetail Brewing Co.'s blog last month: “I'm happy to say we've identified a property we are really excited about and are engaged in negotiations with the building owner for a lease or purchase.”
Metzger has said he is looking for a larger space to brew, bottle and can beer to make Freetail available for wholesale. Opening a second brewery is an important step for Freetail, whose current location is operating near full capacity to keep just the brewpub's tanks full.
The site on South Presa Street is about 30,000 square feet, according to Bexar County records, and it has what appears to be a 20-plus-foot ceiling, so the structure would be able to house a significantly larger brewery for Freetail and allow it to maximize production, which is capped for brewpubs at 10,000 barrels a year by the new law.

Canada, PE: Barnone Brewing debuts in Prince Edward Island, PE
|
Nearly two years after offering preview samples at the 2011 PEI Beer Festival, Barnone Brewing has finally officially opened, Canadian Beer News reported on July, 18.
Founded by father and son team Hugh and Don Campbell, Barnone is starting with two flagship beers: Summer Sessions and a moderately hopped Pale Ale.
Barnone’s 5 hectolitre brewing system is located on the family farm, where many ingredients for the beers are grown.
Barnone beers are currently available only on draught, with The Landing Oyster House & Pub in Tyne Valley, PE being the first establishment to put them on tap. Distribution to other bars and restaurants in Prince Edward Island is expected to follow soon, and a brewery retail store will be opening soon to offer growler sales.

USA, LA: Abita Brewing Company launches Grapefruit Harvest
|
The Abita Brewing Company is pleased to announce that their popular Andygator will soon be available in six-packs for the first time and a new Grapefruit Harvest I.P.A. will be joining the popular Abita Harvest line of brews, Brew Bound reported on July, 19.
“This announcement is going to make people very happy, “said David Blossman, president of Abita Beer.
“Andygator® has a huge following and consumers have been clamouring for it in six-packs for a very long time,” said Blossman. “Although it has been available as a draft brew since the beginning and in 22 ounce bottles for some time, our old packaging line didn’t have the capacity to handle production of Andygator six-packs. With our new line and planned improvements to the brewhouse, we’re ready to start rolling out Andygator in this format in October.”
Abita Grapefruit Harvest I.P.A. will make its debut as a part of the Abita Harvest line of brews in December

USA, WI: Point Brewery to release Whole Hog Wee Heavy Scotch Ale

Stevens Point Brewery announced the debut of its Whole Hog Wee Heavy Scotch Ale, the latest Whole Hog Limited Edition “big beer”, Brew Bound reported on July, 19.
Whole Hog Wee Heavy Scotch Ale is debuting at retail during July in four-packs of 12-ounce bottles.
“Whole Hog Wee Heavy Scotch Ale is a perfect fit with our Whole Hog Limited Edition specialty beers. It’s a great sipping beer, as big as they come,” said Joe Martino, Stevens Point Brewery Operating Partner.
At the top the specialty-beer scale, the Whole Hog Limited Edition beers represent the epitome of the brew master’s art. Full-bodied and heavily hopped, they are “big beers” handcrafted in small batches to appeal to the most discerning craft-beer aficionados and round out the Stevens Point Brewery’s specialty portfolio. In addition to Whole Hog Wee Heavy Scotch Ale, the Whole Hog year-round beers include Whole Hog Six-Hop India Pale Ale.
Seasonal offerings are Whole Hog Russian Imperial Stout, Whole Hog Raspberry Saison, Whole Hog Pumpkin Ale for the fall, which won the gold medal in the Pumpkin Beer category at the 2012 Great American Beer Festival and Whole Hog Barley Wine Style Ale.

The Epic Brewing taproom, which will feature 25 taps, it’s planned to open September, 28.
Epic Brewing started planning the opening of a second brewery beyond Utah because of growth demands and the difficulty of expanding in the Beehive State.

UK: Government shelves plans to introduce minimum price for alcohol
|
The government has shelved plans to introduce a minimum price for a unit of alcohol in England and Wales, BBC reported on July, 17.
Minister Jeremy Browne said the policy would remain "under consideration" but there were fears the change would hit responsible drinkers.
A ban on multi-buy promotions has been rejected but sales will not be allowed below the cost of alcohol duty and VAT.
Labour said the government had done a U-turn on a flagship policy that both the PM and home secretary had backed.
Mr Browne said problem drinking turned towns and cities into effective "no-go areas" for many people, was seen as instrumental in many violent attacks and cost the taxpayer £21 bln a year in crime and health issues.
But he said there was not enough "concrete evidence" minimum pricing could reduce the harmful effects of problem drinking without hurting those who drank responsibly.
"We are not in the business of making laws that do not work. We consulted on it and we heard what people say," he said, pointing out that 34% of those who responded backed a 45p minimum unit price but 56% had disagreed.
Multi-buy promotions in shops, such as two-for-one deals, will also not be banned as, Mr

Zimbabwe: SABMiller investing in traditional beers
|
A few years ago, then Delta Beverages CEO Joe Mutizwa spoke of sexing up the company’s products — beer, carbonated drinks and even opaque beer.
Among some of the notable changes to the products was the packaging for carbonated drinks and the re-introduction of the “shake-shake” opaque beer, Zimbabwe Independent reported on July, 19.
The challenge when the industrialist spoke of the planned make-overs and other things he deemed would position his company as a market leader, was convincing cynical market analysts, who felt there was no need to pimp any of his products.
They strongly felt customers did not care whether beer came in white bottles or blue ones.
The market had at that time not remotely considered a return to the plastic-coated shake-shake in place of the brown recyclable plastic containers, known as “scuds”, for traditional beer.
The shake-shake, once a famous brand among Delta’s low-end consumers, had been replaced by the scud.
The revolutionary scud packaging came in 1991 at about the time of America’s Operation Desert Storm in Iraq. Scud missiles were Iraqi long-range ammunition fired mainly at American ally Israel during Desert Storm and came from the former Soviet Union.
As if not to be outdone by his predecessor new CEO, Pearson
