Mexico: President instructs Secretary of the Environment and Natural Resources to deny environmental permits for Constellation Brands brewery in Mexicali
|
Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has instructed the Secretary of the Environment and Natural Resources, María Luisa Albores, to definitively deny the environmental permits for constructing the Constellation Brands brewery in Mexicali, The Yucatan Times reported on November 28.
Last week several publications assured that since last August, Constellation Brands resumed the construction of its plant in Mexicali.
“I tell the people of Mexicali to have confidence that that plant is not going to open. And at the same time, I ask the Secretary of the Environment to act so that following the law, this matter is definitively resolved,” said Lopez Obrador.
“By the citizens’ will, it was decided that it will not operate in Mexicali in Baja California. As we know, there was a disagreement since the previous government gave the permits for the operation of this brewery, and we committed to carry out a citizen consultation so that the people would resolve as befits an authentic, true democracy.
“That consultation was carried out, and the people expressed their feelings about not wanting that brewery to be built in Mexicali because of the lack of water. That’s why the decision was made that this plant’s permit to operate would not be granted.

USA, NY: Bellport Brewing Company ready to open its doors on December 3
|
Bellporters are days away from having its own brewery in the heart of their downtown, the GreaterPatchogue reported on November 29.
That’s because Bellport Brewing Company will be swinging open its doors at 14 Station Road — in the former Rooster’s Cafe — on Thursday, Dec. 3.
The owners of the brewery confirmed this date on Facebook. According to the post, the brewery will be launching at 3 p.m. to the public.
“We have waited a very long time and worked very hard to produce a final product for you guys,” reads the announcement on Facebook. “We thank you all for the support and hope to see you guys at the brewery!”
Brian Baker’s dream of starting his own brewing company on Long Island started in 2013, and it has been quite the journey.
After seven years, he now finds himself a few months away from opening Bellport Brewing Company in the heart of Bellport Village. The brewery will launch at 14 Station Road, in the former Rooster’s Cafe.
“We are super excited to be involved with the Village of Bellport,” said Baker, owner of Bellport Brewing Company. “These people are so passionate, with the businesses that are there, the food that is there, working

Canada, BC: Neighbourhood Brewing officially open in Penticton
|
Neighbourhood Brewing officially opened on November 25, at 187 Westminster Ave W in Penticton, BC, with their long-standing ‘Opening sooner’ sign no doubt changing sometime soon, Castanet.net reported.
“We’re here to make great beer and have some fun,” Michael Coghill, Co-founder of Neighbourhood Brewing said.
Coghill and his wife started Yellow Dog Brewing Co. in Port Moody six years ago, but they felt a calling to open in Penticton.
“What started as our vacation spot that we used to come to yearly, every year we just wanted to stay longer and longer. So we decided that we wanted to make it home and used our experience to come up with a venture in Penticton.”
A vision that has been in the works for four years, opening up during the COVID-19 pandemic gave the team some challenges. The usual hands on and group training of staff had to be redeveloped into smaller and more remote training sessions.
“We were building during the pandemic so we got a few curve balls thrown our way that we adapted to so it always just open when we’re ready and this was when we were ready,” Coghill said.
The quiet opening was also to

Beam Suntory, producer of brands such as Jim Beam and Maker’s Mark, has revealed plans to open a new site in Clermont, Kentucky, in July 2019. Work is under way on the project, which is expected to open by summer 2021, The Spirits Business reported on December 1.

USA, NM: Couple launches Resource Brewing in Albuquerque
|
Starting a business may not sound like the best idea right now, but for Shawn and Stephanie Wright, they think they’re onto something, KOB reported on November 29.
"In times like this, there's really no right answer. A lot of it is just, like, ‘Let's try it and see how it plays out,’” said Stephanie Wright.
Shawn and Stephanie Wright opened Resource Brewing Co. near Candelaria and Eubank a little more than a month ago.
"And we had a good, you know, four weeks, maybe five, of people inside and outside. And starting to kind of build some connections to this local neighborhood that we're in,” Shawn said.
The couples’ decision to open their brewery in Albuquerque started more than two years ago. After finding a location, making renovations, and perfecting the brews—they forged ahead.
"Not knowing what the landscape was going to look like was kind of some tense conversations. We decided in October to open anyways,” Shawn said.
Even if COVID restrictions change, Resource Brewing Co. said they’ll be remaining to-go only until things improve.
"This is some peoples' pure livelihood, and it is, it's a really scary time,” said Leah Black, executive director of the New Mexico Brewers Guild.

USA, WI: Pabst Brewing Company announces closure of Captain Pabst Pilot House in Milwaukee
|
The Pabst Brewing Company announced on December 2 that the Captain Pabst Pilot House in Milwaukee would be closed permanently in December, due to a difficult year, WTMJ-TV reported.
The company announced the closing of the taproom and the cease of brewing operations through a news release on December 2.
Brewing operations are relocating to the company's head office location in San Antonio, Texas.
"This has been an extremely difficult year for all hospitality and tourism businesses, and it has been no different for the Captain Pabst Pilot House,” said Matt Bruhn, GM, Pabst Brewing Company. “Unfortunately, with no signs of the business improving, the company has come to the difficult decision to close the Captain Pabst Pilot House operation effective Dec. 21.”
“This is an amazing space,” said Pilot House General Manager Adam Powers. “It’s a sad day for me, my team and Pabst lovers here in Milwaukee. But it’s my sincere hope that once we move beyond the pandemic, that someone with a love of Milwaukee brewing history will work to make this facility a thriving, viable business moving forward.”
The Captain Pabst Pilot House is located at 1037 W. Juneau Avenue.

USA, MI: Roak Brewing to shut down after five years in Royal Oak
|
The taproom, brewing facility, and equipment belonging to Roak Brewing is closing after five years on East Lincoln in Royal Oak, the Detroit Metro Times reported on December 1.
The closure represents the likely next steps after the brewer acquired Dark Horse Brewing Co last year. Roak will manufacture the beers under its two labels from Marshall — over an hour east of Detroit.
Crain’s was the first to report the closure as the company seeks to consolidate operations and offload its equipment.
CEO John Leon told the business outlet that it is in talks with local brewers to take over the space. He also said that he hopes to reopen a Roak taproom in the metro area.
Early in the coronavirus pandemic, Roak offered live music Thursdays through Sundays in an outdoor tent space. They also offered takeout food and growlers.
Opened in 2015, Roak Brewing produced seasonal beers that became fan favorites.
At their production plant, they were able to produce upwards of 13,000 barrels annually. They previously sold their label out of Michigan restaurants and specialty markets. 5% of their business was assigned to their tap room.

China: China to build entire town based on German beer
|
A German-style beer town with a total investment of 13 billion yuan (about $2 billion U.S. dollars) will be built in southwest China's Sichuan Province, the Malaysia Sun reported on November 30.
With a planned area of about 170 hectares, the project in Dongxing District, in the city of Neijiang, will include a production line for Heidelberg beer with an annual production capacity of 300,000 tonnes, according to the district government.
A beer museum, a square featuring beer, a shopping centre and a hotel are also included in the project.
Architecture that resembles landmark buildings in the German city of Heidelberg, such as the Student Prison of Heidelberg University and the Church of the Holy Spirit, will also be built in the town.
The district government last week signed an agreement for the project with Kalenburg and Heimat, two companies affiliated with Heidelberger Brauerei, one of the top breweries in Heidelberg.

Australia & India: Australian barley growers could soon be raising a glass to India’s beer craze
|
Australian barley growers could soon be raising a glass to India’s swelling cohort of beer drinkers, who are being eyed as a potential market for some of the country’s excess stocks of the grain, after its biggest buyer China all but halted imports this year, the Deccan Herald reported on December 1.
While India’s beer market was only worth about $7.8 billion last year - a fraction of the US’s $105.4 billion market, according to Euromonitor research - the sheer pace of population growth there, coupled with an increasing thirst for craft beer among younger and wealthier people, means it has the potential to grow into one of the world’s largest consumers of the beverage.
“There’s a lot of business interest in the beer industry. There’s a lot of investment coming in slowly,” said Nakul Bhonsle, owner of Great State Aleworks, a microbrewery based in Pune, in India’s west. “As the younger generation grows older, there’s a drastic shift from hard liquor to beer and wine. So that shift will help us.”
With India’s population growing by 15 million per year, the industry will need to make an additional 2 million hectolitres between 2019-24 - or 80 Olympic swimming pools worth, Bloomberg Intelligence

Australia: Carlton & United Breweries to boost production of Foster’s Classic beer
|
Foster’s, the beer brand “that helped put Australia on the international map”, is being relaunched by Carlton & United Breweries, the Brews News reported on November 30.
In a media statement over the weekend, CUB said that Australian customers were looking “for a return to trusted iconic brands” and announced it would be boosting production of Foster’s Classic by 300 per cent in the coming months, from 500,000 litres a year to just over 2.5 million litres.
CUB will be offering Foster’s in a 30-can slab, which it called “value-for-money”, saying that it will then be competitive with affordable rivals.
Foster’s, once Australia’s top-selling beer, had declined to the point where it could only be found in ten bars and pubs across the country having been dubbed a ‘gimmick’ by pub owners.
CUB never totally gave up on the brand, and in 2015 attempts were made to revamp it as Foster’s Classic.
Now, CUB has determined that Foster’s is ripe for a renaissance in Australia after years of popularity in other countries, notably the United Kingdom, where rights to the brand are owned by Heineken and it is brewed in Manchester, rather than Melbourne.
Introduced in 1964 in the UK and popularised by actor Paul Hogan
