World: 18% US wheat stocks decline drives agri-commodities prices further upwards
|
The main driver in the agri-commodities market this week was the grain stocks report from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA); it was released on September 30, FeedNavigator.com reported.
All wheat stocks were down 18% year on year, noted CRM Agri.
Totaling 47.44 mln tonnes, US wheat stocks at the start of September are down 10.28 mln tonnes from 2020, showed the NASS report, leading to higher prices for wheat this week.
“The support for wheat markets pushed Chicago, Paris milling wheat and UK feed wheat higher, breaking above £200 (US$ per ton and making a new contract high,” said the CRM Agri analysts.
Corn stocks were down 36% from September 2020 at 31.4 mln tonnes, however, this is 1.26 mln tonnes higher than the USDA previously estimated and has pressured corn, they said.
Soybean stocks were down 51% year on year, with old crop soybeans stored in all positions on September 1, at 6.97 mln tonnes, 2.21 mln tonnes higher than the 4.76 mln tonnes USDA previous ending stock estimate, and with larger stock estimates, markets fell, reported the UK based oilseed and grain market specialists.
The USDA also released the crops progress report on September 28,

USA, VT: Vermont Beer Makers to build new $3 mln brewery and taproom in Brattleboro
|
Springfield-based brewery Vermont Beer Makers plans to move to Brattleboro and build a new $3 million brewery and taproom on Old Ferry Road in Brattleboro, the Bennington Banner reported on September 29.
The plans for the 37,000-square-foot facility are scheduled to come before the Development Review Board on Oct. 20.
Vermont Beer Makers is owned in part by Guilford businessman Paul Belogour, who also owns the Brattleboro Reformer, Bennington Banner and Manchester Journal. State records list the brewery’s other owners as Norman Connell and Borden James.
The new structure at 239 Old Ferry Road would include a taproom as well as space for the brewing operations, according to its Development Review Board permit application. The project cost is an estimated $3 million.
General Manager Kelen Beardsley said the move will allow Vermont Beer Makers to expand its production.
“We’ll have beer available on site as well,” he said. “And hopefully we’ll create a cool little hangout atmosphere place for people to come and have a beer.”
He said the goal is to open there before the end of 2022.
Founded as Trout River Brewing Company in 1996, the brewery was bought in 2014 by Beardsley, Gabe Streeter and Trevor Billings, who moved it to their hometown of

USA, WA: El Sueñito Brewing hopes to open in Bellingham in May 2022
|
Osbaldo Hernandez describes El Sueñito Brewing as an intentional enterprise. Thought-through, earnestly considered, and intentional decisions drive El Sueñito Brewing to do that which is best for its own business as well as the community and our human society. It’s the same at Frelard Tamales in Seattle, the other business in which Osbaldo is a partner, the Washington Beer Blog reported on September 27.
The brewery and taproom buildout is underway at the location in Bellingham’s Sunnyland neighborhood, with a hopeful opening date of May 2022, but El Sueñito Brewing will deliver more than beer to the people of Bellingham.
The brewery that Osbaldo and his husband, Dennis, are opening did not land in Bellingham by accident. The couple has enjoyed a long-term love affair with Whatcom County, but that’s not the only reason for picking the location. Beyond the natural splendor of the place, and its proximity to so many outdoor opportunities, Bellingham is the kind of community that will welcome a business owned by a married, gay, Latino couple. That was an important consideration.
“We are a new business to the city but we are not new to Bellingham,” said Osbaldo. “Both my husband and I have been hanging out and

USA, MA: Break Rock Brewing says construction already underway in Quincy
|
Quincy’s License Board has approved several licenses for a new brewery and taproom in Quincy's Marina Bay, The Patriot Ledger reported on September 29.
Representatives for Break Rock Brewing say construction is already underway at 534 Victory Road for a 10-barrel craft brewery and taproom of approximately 5,000 square feet and an outdoor patio of about 340 square feet.
Owner James Southwood told the Quincy License Board that plans have "been a long time coming."
"We've been looking for a home in Quincy for about three years. Then we got hit with the pandemic, which slowed things down for us," he said.
Southwood said Quincy is currently the largest community in the state without a brewery. There are about a dozen spread across the South Shore in communities like Weymouth, Braintree, Scituate, Marshfield and Plymouth.
"We are really, really excited to fill that void, build a community, welcome people into our tap room and provide a welcoming atmosphere in a great location," Southwood said.
Southwood was warned that Marina Bay has its own noise restrictions, and a representative from the landlord's office also said he was concerned about noise filtering to the 350 apartments above the brewery. Southwood said construction has included sound dampening.

USA, SC: Magnetic South Brewery already open in downtown Anderson
|
Two sweeping new anchors in downtown Anderson — a brewery and a hotel — have opened this week, the Anderson Independent Mail reported on September 30.
It'll be the third and largest brewery.
And it'll be the second and largest hotel.
Anderson Mayor Terence Roberts said he is excited at the growth, he went to Magnetic South Brewery during a soft opening last weekend and has seen the hotel's inviting spaces too.
"These are good additions to downtown," he said.
It'll be a family-friendly brewery, said Adam "Cuzzin" Willier, a former brewer with Thomas Creek Brewery and one of the trio of owners.
The Magnetic South building has tall ceilings in an industrial-looking space (a former grocery store and most recently a CarQuest Auto Parts store) with brick walls and large windows. There are a few arcade games, there's a Tonka truck and other playthings.
The idea is to make an inviting space for people, and their dogs, to hang out and spend time, Willier said.
There are several non-alcoholic offerings, including glass Coke products.
There are four garage doors on the side, those will become windows once a city project is finished in a few weeks, creating an outdoor space in downtown.
But it's impossible to ignore that it's

USA, IL: Black & Gray Brewing Co. moving forward with expansion plans
|
Black & Gray Brewing Co. in East Dundee is moving forward with construction that will more than double taproom space and triple production abilities at its location at 311 Barrington Ave., the Daily Herald reported on September 27.
The brewery will be taking over the vacant unit to the east of its current space. The expansion will increase the size of the brewery and taproom from 2,500 square foot to 6,000 square foot, plus additional patio space.
"Eventual expansion became the plan shortly after we opened," said Chris Kennedy, director of brewery operations. "Production-wise, we were hitting our year 4 projections in our first year and we brew on a very small brewhouse. When COVID shutdowns occurred, we pivoted to distribution to keep us afloat. Now that the taproom is back open and we have a solid distribution footprint in the Fox Valley, we can't brew enough beer to supply both parts of the business. We've had to bring guest taps in for the taproom, and we have multiple distribution deals waiting on us to increase our capacity so we can supply them with beer."
Black & Gray Brewing Co. will be installing a 5 BBL brewhouse built by Blichmann Engineering, as well

USA, IA: Toppling Goliath Brewing Co. could be headed to Des Moines
|
Iowa's most-acclaimed brewery could be headed to Des Moines, desmoinesregister.com reported.
Decorah's Toppling Goliath Brewing Co. released a public proposal on September 27 asking developers to consider housing a permanent brewery and taproom in the capital of the state.
“We spend a lot of time looking at some of the different great cities and locations in Iowa. We really do think Des Moines is a great fit,” Clark Lewey, owner and founder of Toppling Goliath, told the Register. “We’ve been working with local developers, and we want to find the right spot.”
The proposal does not specify a timeline, but a spokesperson for Toppling Goliath said the maker of brews including Pseudo Sue pale ale, Pompeii IPA and Dorothy's New World Lager is ready to break into the Des Moines market when it finds the right location.
The site criteria in the proposal includes 15,000 to 20,000 square feet of indoor space to house both a taproom and brewery and at least 3,000 square feet of outdoor bar space in the Des Moines metro. Toppling Goliath intends to include a full-service restaurant, private event space and a gift shop in the future location.
This would be the first location outside Decorah for the craft brewery.

USA, PA: Pittsburgh Brewing Co. puts name on soon-to-be-opened brewery in East Deer
|
Those traveling along Route 28 will see a new addition to the East Deer brewery being developed as the new home of Iron City Beer, TribLIVE reported on September 30.
Company spokeswoman Anna Angotti said signage displaying “Pittsburgh Brewing Co.” was installed on the sprawling, 140,000-square-foot facility over the weekend.
“We are making small progress every day,” she said.
General Manager Todd Zwicker said more signage, such as a logo, will be added to the building’s roof ridge. He estimates the building will have more branding by early November to help catch the attention of the 48,000 cars that pass by it each day.
“It’ll be very recognizable and highly active with consumers,” he said.
Pittsburgh Brewing Co. has continued to make progress to its production site. It previously housed Pittsburgh Glass Works, which closed in 2018. It originally was Pittsburgh Plate Glass’ (later PPG Industries) Works No. 1.
Zwicker said the brewery is aiming to open next year.
Zwicker said all the equipment has been ordered, and the company hopes to conduct test brewing by the end of the year. The company did not provide an estimate on how many people it would employ when it opens.

USA, IN: Rad Brewing Co. to close for good in late November
|
Rad Brewing Co.—which was known as Flat12 Bierwerks before being acquired two years ago—plans to close for good in late November, according to owner Jason Wuerfel, the Indianapolis Business Journal reported on September 29.
In an announcement published by Indiana Beer News, Wuerfel said the brewery at 414 Dorman St. in the Holy Cross neighborhood east of downtown would start a “fire sale” on Wednesday, September 29 involving everything from “the windows to the walls.”
Wuerfel, who also is founder and principal owner of Indianapolis-based Books & Brews, said the Rad Brewing would operate only on Fridays and Saturdays starting next week and would call it quits at the end of the day on Nov. 27.
Until then, six-packs and growlers of beer, brewery merchandise and glassware will be heavily discounted for clearance.
“First, we want to give a huge thank you to all the Rad Brewing Co. faithful that have stuck with us through thick and thin during the global pandemic,” he said in the announcement. “It’s been a difficult couple of years and it’s never easy to wind down a business, but we want to reward everyone who has stuck with us with the best deals possible.”

USA, FL: Cape Canaveral brewing operation transitions from Florida Beer Company to Carib Brewery
|
The changes have been underway since June, but as of Tuesday, September 28, Florida Beer Company is no more. Carib Brewery USA and the 321 Lime House taproom are now officially part of Cape Canaveral, the Rever MSN Music reported.
Trinidad-based ANSA McAL purchased the brewery in 2016, said Carib Brewery marketing director Asa Sealy, but the name remained the same. Now the company wants to unify its brand.
Carib breweries have operated in Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada and St. Kitts and Nevis since the 1950s and '60s.
"Everybody was operating on their own," Sealy said. "We're bringing everybody in as a family."
In the coming years, the company has plans to acquire breweries in other parts of the world, he said.
Florida Beer Company's name changed in June, Sealy said. As of this week, the 321 Lime House taproom and a spacious new outdoor patio have been unveiled, offering the Space Coast a taste of Caribbean hospitality.
Across the Caribbean, "lime" means a gathering or a party, Sealy said. The plan is to open Lime Houses in other zip codes where Carib has holdings.
Sealy described the Cape Canaveral brewery as an innovation hub for the company.

USA, ME: Brewer restaurant will return to its roots with 2nd location in downtown Old Town
|
When Jeff Solari stepped inside 266 Main St. in downtown Old Town last November, he told the building’s owner he thought it would have to be torn down, the Bangor Daily News reported on September 28.
Almost a year later, Solari is opening up a second location of his Brewer restaurant Kosta’s in the building, he said. He expects the restaurant to open in mid to late November.
The opening will mark a homecoming for Kosta’s, which was located in the same spot before Yamas Bar and Grill opened there in 2010. It also marks another development in Old Town as the downtown area gradually recovers from a fire two years ago that ripped through the same block.
The building, which is more than 100 years old, was home to Yamas — a Greek and seafood restaurant that is now located in Orono — at the time of the fire in September 2019.
It sustained heavy smoke and water damage as a result of that blaze. At one point, you could see water pouring in whenever it rained from a hole in the ceiling down to the first floor, Solari said.
“Honestly, when we met last November, I was sure the building had to be

Brazil: Beer prices hike seen as positive by analysts
|
This week’s news of high prices at Ambev from October onwards was seen as positive by analysts, even more so as more information was revealed about this readjustment, local media reported.
The rise in the prices of Ambev products, which owns the Brahma, Skol and Corona brands, should vary between 5% and 10%, depending on the product and the region. According to the Brazilian Association of Bars and Restaurants (Abrasel), the increase in prices in São Paulo should be greater, around 10%, while the expectation of readjustment in other states is between 6% and 8%.
According to Credit Suisse, the news is positive, supporting the industry’s pricing power to mitigate headwinds for 2022. “Prices vary between channels, brands, packages and regions, noting Ambev’s more flexible approach to its launch,” reinforce the analysts.
Analysts at BBI pointed out that while the company said in its 2021 second quarter earnings conference call that it was considering an October price increase, consensus estimates would not be fully reflecting this price increase.
Levante Ideias de Investimentos also points out that Ambev has been suffering from the high prices of its main inputs, with the company’s cost of goods sold (COGS) per hectolitre in Brazil jumping 18% in the

Japan's alcoholic beverage makers are unveiling new products to meet the rising demand for low-alcoholic drinks from health-conscious consumers or those drinking more at home due to the pandemic, EconoTimes reported on September 30.
Many of those drinkers aren't satisfied with non-alcoholic drinks.
Asahi Breweries Ltd. released the low-alcohol Asahi Hiball, which is mixed with malt whisky brewed by its subsidiary the Nikka Whisky Distilling Co., and Beery, a beer-like beverage.
The 0.5-percent alcohol version of a highball, which boasts an authentic aroma and flavor, is available in 350-milliliter cans that sell for 195 yen, while a 3-percent alcohol version is priced at 199 yen.
Meanwhile, the Beery targets first-time drinkers and consumers in their 20s and 30s who are shying away from regular beer. It has seen high sales since being released nationwide in June.
Asahi also made the Beery available in small bottles for restaurant operators since September.
Sapporo Breweries Ltd. released the Drafty, a beer-like beverage with an alcohol content of 0.7 percent.
It is brewed from 100-percent malt and crafted to produce a savory malt flavor, the company said.
Asahi plans to increase its sales ratio of products with an alcohol content of 3.5 percent or less to all alcohol-related beverages for home consumption
