Canada: Barley prices increase sharply on crop concerns and lack of offers
|
Canada’s barley prices are reported to have increased sharply, amid mounting crop concerns and lack of offers from farmers and trade, industry analysts said at the end of July.
According to local sources, 1-1.5 mln tonnes of barley have been shipped to China, but the quality of the commodity shipped is uncertain.
US corn and Dried Distillers Grain (DDGs) are already being imported into Western Canada to help offset the declining crop situation.
Lethbridge feed barley prices are sharply up too, industry sources reported.

USA, CA: Long Shot Brewery slated to open in Visalia in mid-August
|
Opening up Long Shot Brewery has been something Jesse Jurado has wanted to do for the past 25 years. And the journey he took to open the Visalia watering hole is one he says lives up to its namesake, The Business Journal reported on July 30.
Long Shot Brewery is slated to open mid-August and will have 12 taps featuring his beers as well as beer from recently closed brewery Rocky Hill Brewing in Exeter.
Work is nearly complete on the 1,200 square-foot space at 706 E. Acequia Ave. and Jurado has his brewery licenses.
Jurado calls Long Shot the “accidental brewery.”
When he first applied with the City of Visalia, he wanted to open as a taproom, featuring not only his own beer but also guest beers as well. After reading about the regulations he would have to comply with he found out opening a brewery would be far easier — the only difference being a few restrictions on guest taps.
There at the site plan review, Jurado said he made the switch and became a brewery.
This was in 2019. The original hope was to open mid-2020. He was even preparing his debut for Irish Fest at then-Rawhide Stadium, now Valley Strong Ballpark. Not

USA, NY: Couple bringing unique combination of brewing and bowling to Honeoye Falls
|
Most people are into sightseeing when they travel. But Megan Phillips and Seth Wile have a different definition of fun. The engaged couple consider themselves to be dive bar and bowling connoisseurs.
And it's even better when the two interests combine, the Democrat & Chronicle reported on August 3.
Phillips and Wile lived in San Francisco for the past nine years and met while working at pioneering craft brewery Magnolia Brewing, in the city's Haight-Asbury neighborhood. Every weekend, they found themselves at bowling alleys. When traveling, they sought out new bowling centers.
They are bringing that unique combination to the village of Honeoye Falls.
The couple is feverishly working to restore and renovate the historic former home of Brongo Lanes, later known as Miller Lanes, into Okay Beer Company at West Main Lanes, 126 W. Main St.
The project will feature 16 bowling lanes, a 5-barrel brewhouse brewery, a full menu of spirits and wines, outdoor dining (with an ample beer garden), nine horseshoe pits and a full-service kitchen featuring elevated bowling alley classics.
In a village that lost its only craft brewery with the sudden closure of CB Craft Brewers in 2019, Okay Beer will fill a void. Plus, the bowling alley, which

USA, NC: Legion Brewing ready for debut in Charlotte
|
Charlotte’s Trolley Barn Fermentory & Food Hall is gearing up to welcome its first guests, WCOC Charlotte reported on August 2.
That location could open next week — though timing depends on when its ABC permit is received, says Phil Buchy, founder of Legion Brewing.
The fermentory — the third location for Legion — is located in Atherton Mill’s historic trolley barn, at 2104 South Blvd. The 11,400-square-foot space has been adapted to include a second-floor mezzanine and two patios with views of uptown.
Buchy says he wasn’t looking to grow Legion’s footprint when Atherton Mill owner Edens reached out to him. He immediately saw the potential for the space.
“South End is one of the most vibrant neighborhoods and communities in Charlotte,” Buchy says. “Atherton Mill has such as deep history to it. It was exciting to think what we could do there.”
The fermentory brings a brewery, taproom and cocktail program as well as three food stalls under one roof.

USA, NY: Spotted Octopus Brewing locks down its new location in Buffalo
|
According to their social media pages, Spotted Octopus Brewing has officially locked down its new location at 41 Edward Street in Buffalo, WYRK.com reported.
Spotted Octopus Brewing is a new, locally-owned brewing company that has had a campaign over the last several weeks and months, hoping to get their brewery off the ground with donations and investors.
According to their Facebook page, they are aiming to be open by sometime in late fall of 2021.
Octopus Brewing Company describes itself as a brewery that will have many different flavors of craft beer and that they will not settle for the "same old beer."
The taproom, when opened, will also serve snacks and light fare that will be sampled from locally-owned businesses around Buffalo.

USA, VT: Two breweries set to open about a block apart in Waterbury
|
After months of updating local zoning regulations to recognize brewpubs in a key section of downtown Waterbury, two more breweries are getting set to open about a block apart, the Waterbury Roundabout reported on July 30.
If all goes as planned, Freak Folk Bier Brewers will open a restaurant and bar on Stowe Street and The Tropics Brewery will open on Foundry Street.
Last fall, developers of the new Bell’s Block building on Stowe Street next door to the American Legion applied to amend their local permit to sign on with a brewpub as the tenant for the first floor. “It was denied by the zoning administrator who indicated that that use was not allowed in that zoning district,” said Jason Wulff, co-owner of the mixed-use project.
Perry Hill Partners, as Wulff and business partner Aaron Flint’s development company is known, appealed the decision to court. Meanwhile, town officials over several months from December through April, focused on updating zoning regulations for a core area of the downtown. The result was a new interim zoning bylaw that, among other things, allows for small-scale on-site beer production.
The prospective tenant, Freak Folk Bier, is a small-scale brewer launched in 2019 using space at

USA: Molson Coors to discontinue 11 economy brands in premiumization push
|
Molson Coors is cutting 11 economy brands and discontinuing 100 SKUs as the company ‘meaningfully streamlines and premiumizes’ its US portfolio, BeverageDaily.com reported on August 2.
Magnum and Mickey’s Ice are among the brands that will be cut and the company puts increased focus on its hard seltzer portfolio and other more premium drinks, as part of a wider strategy to revitalize the business.
The company decided it was time to take action on its 'long long tail of its economy portfolio in the US'.
“In recent months in the US, we paused production of a number of smaller low-margin, slow-moving economy brands and SKUs," explained CEO Gavin Hattersley in last week's earnings call.
"This allowed us to improve our brewing efficiency and stabilize inventories of our core brands, and it also premiumized our portfolio and improved our margins, and we intend to maintain that higher level of premiumization and service.
“So, after an extensive analysis of our business, we are meaningfully streamlining and premiumizing our US portfolio, discontinuing around 100 SKUs, including the elimination of 11 economy brands altogether.
"This will improve supply chain flexibility for our more profitable priority brands, enhance our innovation efforts, enable us to better focus resources

Myriad is located in the McCurdy building in downtown Evansville, and they posted a rendering of new tap room several weeks ago.
At the time, they wouldn’t say where it would be.
About three weeks ago, they said it would be announced in three weeks.

Kenya: East African Breweries Limited reports marginal net profit drop in the year through June 2021
|
East African Breweries Limited reported a marginal net profit drop in the year ended June as higher costs offset increased sales, with the company freezing dividend payouts to preserve capital, the African Markets reported on August 2.
The firm’s net earnings in the review period stood at Sh6.96 billion compared to Sh7.02 billion a year earlier.
“In recognition of the continued uncertainty in the external environment due to Covid-19 related restrictions, the directors do not recommend a final dividend,” EABL said in a statement.
The company last paid an interim dividend of Sh3 per share for the half year ended December 2019.
Its dividend last peaked at Sh8.5 per share in the year to June 2019.
Net sales jumped 14.7 percent to Sh85.9 billion, with most of the growth coming in the second half when Covid-19 restrictions in the East African countries were less severe compared to the first half.
The company also adapted to the pandemic, finding new routes to market including distributing products to consumers’ homes.
Sales in the Kenyan market rose 11 percent, particularly in spirits while demand for beer was hurt by restrictions including closure of bars and night-time curfew which reduced drinking hours at social joints.

UK: Diageo does not have to pay £277 mln tax bill
|
Spirits giant Diageo stated it does not have to pay a potential £277 million (US$385.2 mln) in tax liabilities, following HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC)’s decision that the firm did not receive illegal state aid, The Drinks Business reported on August 2.
According to its fiscal 2021 report, Diageo escaped a nine-figure tax payout earlier this year when HMRC ruled that the business did not gain an unfair advantage through the UK’s group financing exemption tax scheme.
In 2013, the UK government introduced the group financing exemption, part of its controlled foreign company (CFC) rules. The scheme provided multinationals with tax exemptions on certain income received by offshore subsidiaries.
In April 2019, after an 18-month investigation, the European Commission ruled that the scheme was a form of state aid, giving unfair advantages to some companies.
“Anti-tax avoidance rules are important to ensure that all companies pay their fair share of tax. But they must apply equally to all taxpayers,” Margrethe Vestager, European commissioner in charge of competition policy, said at the time.
“The UK gave certain multinationals a selective advantage by granting them an unjustified exemption from UK anti-tax avoidance rules. This is illegal under EU state aid rules.”
The European Commission then ordered the UK

UK: Guinness 0.0 to be relaunched later this summer
|
Guinness has relaunched its 0.0% product, after it was withdrawn from shelves last October over concerns it may have contained mould, The Drinks Business reported on August 2.
Diageo’s UK managing director has confirmed in an interview with the Evening Standard that Guinness 0.0 will make its delayed relaunch later this summer.
The alcohol-free product, the result of four years of development, first launched in October 2020 but was pulled from shelves just weeks later after The Foods Standard Agency said the product “may contain mould.”
Diageo recalled all cans, saying at the time that there had been “a microbiological contamination which may make some cans unsafe to consume”.
After tightening its production process, Guinness 0.0 relaunched in Ireland last month and is expected to roll out across the UK by late August or early September.
“We always said that the quality of Guinness is really important. We built the brand on its quality credentials, and we made the call to take it back based on us not being happy with the quality initially. We wanted to make sure that when we relaunch it is at the quality we expect,” Dayalan Nayager, MD for Diageo, told the Evening Standard.
Diageo is currently in the process of

Australia: Craft beer maker Broo reports first quarterly profit since ASX listing in 2016
|
Australian craft beer maker Broo has returned its first quarterly profit since listing on the ASX in 2016, the BrewsNews reported on August 2.
After a capital raise and a deal with Carlton & United Breweries to brew its beer as it attempts to turn its fortunes around, beleaguered Broo made A$44,000 in the quarter after costs for its operating activities.
The result carries a number of asterisks however, given that they come after selling beer paid for in previous quarters, and even with the small quarterly profit, Broo is still recording extensive losses of just under A$3.0 million for the year to date.
For the three months to June 2021, Broo reportedly earned A$1.0 million from customer receipts, its highest level since the first quarter in 2019. The company said it had A$116,000 in cash at the end of the quarter.
However it appears that Broo’s marginal profits have been derived from running out stock paid for a year ago in a quarter where it appears not to have completed major expenditure on its contract brewed beer.
Last quarter the company reported it had spent A$1.1 million in product manufacturing costs, on top of A$904,000 spent in the September quarter last year during when

Rwanda: Three women making their mark on Rwanda’s beer industry
|
Three women, Josephine Uwase, Jessi Flynn and Debby Leatt, are making their mark on Rwanda’s beer industry through craft beer brewing with focus on boosting women’s economic empowerment. Theirs is a women-owned, women-led brewery, The New Times reported on August 3.
The first and women-owned modern craft brewery in Rwanda, Kweza Craft Brewery registered in Rwanda Development Board (RDB) and recently received license from Rwanda Food and Drugs Authority (RFDA) to produce fresh beer - beer in its optimum state after processing cycle ends - that can be consumed at its perfect flavour since it doesn’t need to be packed in bottles before drinking.
The brewery project was started through a Kickstarter campaign in 2016 and started to mature in 2019.
