USA & Belgium: Green Flash Brewing and Brasserie St-Feuillien make “handshake agreement” on brewing Green Flash beers in Belgium
|
One of San Diego’s fastest-growing craft breweries is expanding its presence abroad.
Green Flash Brewing announced on July 21 a unique brewing partnership with Belgium-based St-Feuillien. According to a press statement, the two breweries have made a “handshake agreement,” whereby St-Feuillien will brew, bottle and ship Green Flash’s flagship West Coast IPA for broader distribution throughout Europe.
Company spokeswoman Natalie Sellers described the brewing arrangement as “flexible,” and explained that Green Flash is not licensing its name to the Belgian brewer.
“We are working with them as friends,” she said. “Because of the unique relationship we have with St-Feuillien, we can sit back, see what happens with West Coast IPA being brewed there and respond to demand as needed.”
The two companies have made a series of collaborative brews together, starting in 2010.
St-Feullian, which Sellers said has recently expanded its brewing capacity, will produce, package and help oversee distribution of West Coast IPA throughout the UK, Belgium, Switzerland, Norway, The Netherlands, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Germany and France.
“We’ve been pursuing European distribution of West Coast IPA for some time, however the obvious challenges in delivering fresh IPA to the region have been a huge roadblock,” Green Flash co-founder, Mike Hinkley, said in a statement.

USA & Germany: Stone Brewing Company to launch a brewery in Berlin
|
San Diego County’s own Stone Brewing Company is hopping international borders and expanding into Europe, becoming the first American craft brewer to independently own and operate a brewery there, NBC San Diego reported on July 20.
The Escondido-based company announced plans on July 19 to open a production brewery and restaurant in what is arguably the beer capital of the world: Germany.
With a $25 million investment, Stone will transform a two-acre historic gasworks complex in Marienpark – a Berlin suburb – into its World Bistro & Gardens by late 2015 or early 2016.
“This is a historic moment for Stone. I’ve wanted to say these next words for many years now: We’re coming to Europe. We’re coming to Germany. We are coming to Berlin!” said Stone CEO and co-founder Greg Koch in a release.
The space’s main, red-brick hall, built in 1901, will hold a brewhouse, farm-to-table restaurant and retail store for Stone beer and merchandise. The brewhouse should have at least a 70-barrel capacity.
On the same property, a second building will be dedicated to brewing operations, out of which the company’s ales can be packed up and shipped out all over Europe.
A third building will house large gardens to be used as

USA, MO: The Modern Brewery to hit St. Louis market in the next few weeks
|
It seems like craft breweries are popping up in St. Louis these days just as fast as food trucks. The latest is the Modern Brewery, which is looking to hit the market in the next few weeks, Riverfront Times reported on July 18.
The space at 5231 Manchester Avenue will just be a production facility for now, though there's room next door to eventually open a tasting room. Co-owner Beamer Eisele says that's not too high on their priority list at this point, though. He and parnter Ronnie Fink will be doing keg sales from the outset to local bars. The first two beers will be a Belgian saison and an American pale ale called Modern Pale Ale.
"What we're trying to go for with our beer is an approachable, interesting product. We're a very tiny, tiny company - there's two of us that basically run the whole operation, and the guy that's basically running our production right now is a top-notch brewer with a lot of very cool, creative ideas," Eisele says. "We just don't compromise when it comes to making the best beer so we don't disappoint our people who come out and try our stuff."

USA, KY: Against The Grain Brewery & Smokehouse planning new operation in Louisville
|
Against The Grain Brewery & Smokehouse appears to be planning a new operation in Louisville's Portland neighbourhood, Louisville Business First reported on July 18.
ATG Holdings LLC, a company affiliated with the brewery, has purchased land at 1800 Northwestern Parkway. The deal closed on July 17, according to Stephen Lannert, co-managing member at real estate firm Cassidy Turley Harry K. Moore. He represented the seller in the deal, Northwestern Land LLC.
Lannert said Against The Grain plans to open a brewery at the location but deferred to Against The Grain's owners for full details. Co-owner Sam Cruz declined to comment on the deal but said more details are likely coming soon.
The property includes a vacant 21,000-square-foot factory building on 1.28 acres, according to Lannert. He said the building previously had been used by FischerSIPS LLC, a manufacturer of insulated walls used in home construction. That business recently moved down a few doors on Northwestern Parkway, Lannert said.
The property sold for $433,000. Steve Lennon, with Horizon Commercial Realty, represented AGT Holdings.
Against the Grain is located at Louisville Slugger Field, where it produces about 1,800 barrels of beer per year. Last March, Cruz said in an interview a larger production facility was a part

Left Hand Brewing Co., which withdrew from the Iowa market about three years ago, is returning, the company said on July 21.
Beginning in August, the craft beer company will be distributing its products through Johnson Brothers of Iowa.

USA, WV: Wheeling Brewing Company to celebrate its grand opening soon
|
Wheeling Brewing Company will soon be celebrating its grand opening. Formerly known as Basement Brewery for the last two years, the company is in the process of renovating their new location at Centre Market and plans to have everything up and running sometime in late September or early October, Columbus CEO reports.
Wheeling Brewing Company CEO Chad Hill explained that once the business is open, it will function as a brewing pub as well as a restaurant.
"We're going to incorporate a lot of local products and produce. We've been making a lot of partnerships with local farmers, and our beer is also going to have local hops in it," Hill said. "We plan on having six beers on tap at all times, with one guest beer."
Hill explained that the company plans to have a rotating menu of both beer and food. Seasonal beers will be featured, and the restaurant side of the business will offer rotating specials, such as brick oven pizza and cedar-roasted salmon.
Some of the beers made by Wheeling Brewing Company including Nail City Porter - a beer that took first place in the competition at the Coal Country Beer Festival - McColloch's Wheat, Moon Dog IPA and Old

USA, MD: New brewhouse installation underway at the Heavy Seas brewery
|
The installation of a new brewhouse is underway at the Heavy Seas brewery. The equipment will be fully positioned and operating by September 2014, The Full Pint reported on July 21.
This advancement will increase the production capacity by 250%, expanding the potential daily production from 200 barrels to 480 barrels per day. The brewery’s original 50-barrel system is being replaced with a 60-barrel, 5-vessel system built by Newlands Stainless.
The potential capacity of the new brewhouse is 175,000 barrels per year if operated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As part of this expansion, Heavy Seas has added two 240-barrel fermenters, and has also ordered one 300 barrel bright beer tank, which will take its effective production capacity to just under 70,000 barrels for 2015. Heavy Seas is on pace to produce approximately 45,000 barrels this year.

USA, IL: Solemn Oath Brewery to double production by year-end
|
Solemn Oath Brewery, a Naperville beer company that focuses on Belgian-inspired and barrel-aged beers, will nearly double its production once expansion of its headquarters is completed by year-end, Chicago Business reported on July 21.
The expansion focuses on updating brewing and packaging systems that will allow a 94 percent increase in beer production while maintaining the same manpower. This means the brewery's 3,000-barrels-per-year production — each barrel holding 31 gallons — will jump to about 6,000 barrels each year.
The production boost is expected to raise revenue by 50 percent, said John Barley, the brewery's co-founder and owner.
“By focusing on infrastructure, we will have much better ability to ease some of that demand on our beer,” Mr. Barley said.
In May, Solemn Oath added 7,000 square feet to its headquarters, bringing the brewery's total square footage to 16,800.
A new in-house canning line will allow the company to package its beer in six-packs of 12-ounce aluminum cans. Canned beer is expected to arrive on Chicago's store shelves in November. Solemn Oath started with draft beer when it started in 2012 and launched 22-ounce bottles in December.
“We're excited to do small-format packaging," Mr. Barley said. "Cans improve portability and recyclability."
Mr. Barley declined to provide the

Zimbabwe: Delta Corp. says Q1 lager sales dropped 21% amid slowing economic growth
|
Delta Corp., Zimbabwe’s biggest company by market capitalization, said fiscal first-quarter lager sales dropped 21 percent amid slowing economic growth.
Group revenue in the three months through June fell 3 percent from a year earlier, in line with Zimbabwe’s “subdued economic performance,” the company, which brews beer and makes soft drinks such as Coca-Cola Co. products, said in a statement on July 22. Volume of sparkling or carbonated beverages fell 8 percent.
“The stretched consumer is now focusing on value-for-money products,” Delta said.
Deflation has taken hold in Zimbabwe and factories are shutting as the country may head into a recession. The southern African nation is battling liquidity constraints that have led to the late payment of civil servants’ salaries in recent months.
Sales of traditional opaque beer, made from sorghum, rose 15 percent in the quarter, while other “alternative beverages” jumped 22 percent, Harare-based Delta said. Total beverage consumption rose only 1 percent. The company said it will release further business details at the annual shareholders meeting on July 30.
Delta said April 10 that revenue fell 1 percent in the previous fiscal year.

UK: Sales of many high-strength beers booming, new report shows
|
Sales of many high-strength beers and ciders are booming, according to new figures compiled for The Grocer.
The Grocer’s ranking of Britain’s 100 Biggest Booze Brands (in association with Nielsen) shows sales of the top five high-abv beer and cider products grew £700,000 in value to £123.9 mln in the 12 months up to the end of April, despite being in the Home Office firing line and the target for local voluntary high-strength alcohol bans across the country.
Three of the top five brands were in value growth, with value sales of Aston Manor’s 7.5% abv cider Frosty Jack’s rising £3.7 mln (9.3%), while volume sales dipped only slightly despite a sharp price rise.
Meanwhile Carlsberg’s Skol Super, and K cider, produced by the Shepton Mallet Cider Mill, ended the year in both value and volume growth.
The figures come as lobbyists, ministers and drinks industry bodies piling pressure on suppliers to commit to Responsibility Deal pledges launched last week, with so far only AB InBev signing up. It pledged to stop selling carbonated drinks in cans containing more than four units of alcohol, resulting in the switching of 500 ml cans of Tennent’s Super (9% abv) into 440 ml cans.

UK: Winter barley recommended list to change in response to market demands
|
The UK’s Recommended List for winter barley will take two key steps to make sure it provides the best possible information to growers, The Crop Site reported on July 21.
The first is a change to the nitrogen protocol in feed barley trials, the second is a common yield target for 2-rows, 6-rows and 6-row hybrids.
These changes are in response to yield gains in feed varieties and the development of hybrid varieties over recent years.
“The new nitrogen regime is a response to the advances made in barley breeding. It will push yields all the way for feed varieties and give us a fair comparison between hybrids and conventionals,” explains Peter Riley, Agronomist on the RL Barley and Oats Committee.
“The fertiliser levels reflect current industry standards so will be familiar to any grower who targets high yields.”
Looking at the single yield target, until now, 2-row, 6-row and 6-row hybrid varieties have been treated as distinct crops and had different yield targets.
The reason for this was that 6-row hybrids were a new technology so they were given the opportunity to show how they perform and stimulate interest among growers and breeders – a similar thing was done with hybrid oilseed rape.
“Now that these

Vietnam: Ministry of Health proposing ban on night sales of beer and alcohol
|
Vietnam’s Ministry of Health has suggested banning the sales of beer and alcohol after 10:00 pm in the draft law on the prevention of ill effects of alcoholic beverages in the community.
It suggests banning alcohol sale between 10:00 pm and 6:00 am in the following morning.
Nguyen Huy Quang, head of the legal department of the Ministry of Health, admitted that it is acceptable to establish a limit but authorities are studying measures to make the ban more effective if it is approved by the law-making National Assembly.
Last year, the traffic police department in Ho Chi Minh City proposed to ban the sale of beer after 10:00 pm. However, it was not supported then by the city’s authorities.
Vietnam has a heavy consumption of beer and alcohol and the amount has been increasing year after year.
In 2013, Vietnam consumed over three billion litres of beer, ranking third in Asia after Japan and China. 68,000 litres of wine were drunk in the year.
In 2012, the nation consumed 2.8 billion litres of beer and 63,000 litres of wine.
90 percent of Vietnamese adults drink beer and alcohol and every one in four drinkers consumes six glasses of beer a day or more, according to Quang.

New Zealand: Boutique beer maker Moa Group enjoys 95% Q1 sales volume increase
|
Moa Group, the unprofitable boutique beer maker, increased first quarter sales volumes 95 per cent after moving to a more direct distribution structure in New Zealand, its largest market, New Zealand Herald reported on July 22.
Beers sales volumes rose to 264,000 litres in the three months ended June 30, from 135,000 litres in the year earlier period, the Auckland-based company said in a statement. Moa didn't detail its first quarter sales value or profitability.
The brewer, which went public in 2012, missed its earnings targets last year and called on the financial support of its major shareholders following lower-than-expected sales that it blamed on problems with its previous distributor. Moa said it is has doubled its market share in supermarkets to 7.2 per cent since changing its sales and distribution structure in October, and is now the fourth-biggest craft beer behind rival brands Monteiths, Macs and Boundary Road, which are owned by DB Breweries, Lion and Independent Liquor respectively.
The company said it expects to boost its gross margin in the current financial year, without providing a target.
Last financial year the gross margin rose to 19 per cent in the second half from 14 per cent in the first half, it said.

UK: Tyskie beer becomes one of Britain’s 100 Biggest Booze Brands
|
Polish beer brand Tyskie - once the preserve of Polish expats - has become one of Britain’s 100 Biggest Booze Brands after wooing UK supermarket shoppers, The Grocer reported on July 20.
Sales of Tyskie have soared 39.9% year on year to £26.2 mln on the back of a similar increase in volume sales [Nielsen 52 w/e 26 April 2014] as the brand ramps up its presence in UK retailers. The performance has propelled it to 83rd position in The Grocer’s annual ranking of alcoholic drinks brands.
Tyskie, which is available in cans and bottles, was attracting a mixed audience of Polish expats and British consumers, said Miller Brands. The business took over distribution of the brand in 2007 as it looked to tap the opportunity offered by the number of Poles coming to the UK; at that time the majority of sales were to Polish consumers.
The canned beer still had a strong expat following - particularly through independent c-stores, said Miller Brands - but bottled Tyskie had found a new audience in recent years.
“Tyskie is finding a role in the discovery repertoire among beer drinkers who like to experiment”, said customer marketing director Sam Rhodes.
