USA, TX: Elder Son Brewing in soft opening phase
|
Robert Frye never thought he’d turn his homebrewing hobby into a career. But after 18 years in the oil and gas industry, including four downturns, he was ready for a change, the Houston Chronicle reported on October 25.
Elder Son Brewing, his new brewery in the Heights, is currently in its soft opening phase.
It started with the encouragement of his wife, friends and neighbors who drank his beer over the years. These were pipe dreams at the time, he says: a bunch of his buddies drinking in his driveway, asking him what he would name a brewery if he opened one someday.
It was the COVID-19 pandemic that actually pushed him over the edge. There’s never going to be a good time to leave this career and do something he actually enjoyed, he thought, so why not now?
In March 2020, he started looking at locations across Houston for a brick-and-mortar. He finally signed the lease in the current space, at 946 N. Shepherd Drive, that November. He quit his job, as a sales manager for a manufacturing company in the oil industry, just three weeks before opening.
Frye began homebrewing 12 years ago when he started dating his now-wife. Her brother was a

Canada, MB: Devil May Care Brewing to open its own location in downtown Winnipeg
|
Devil May Care Brewing has announced that after more than three years of brewing its beers under contract, it will soon be opening its own location in downtown Winnipeg, the Canadian Beer News reported on October 19.
Devil May Care was launched by homebrewers Colin Koop and Steve Gauthier in the spring of 2018, and initially operated out of Stone Angel Brewing before moving to the Torque Brewing facility in the summer of 2020.
For the brewery’s next phase, the partners have signed a lease on a space at the corner of Fort St. and York Ave., and describe their plans for it as follows:
We’re starting out small, focusing on exclusive batches served in-house and for take-out. With smaller capacity comes flexibility, more potential creativity, and more of the unique craft beer experience that you’ve come to expect from us. We’ll be able to dream, play, and create. And you, lucky DMC fans, will be able to reap the rewards! We have a great many plans, ideas, and dreams that we’ll finally be able to turn into reality. We promise, you’re going to love what we’ve got in store for you. (Most of the time, that is. We reserve the right to

Canada, ON: Toronto beer bar to officially launch its in-house brewery
|
Bar Volo, the oft-lauded Toronto beer bar that closed its original location in autumn 2016 and reopened in a spot around the corner three years later, has announced that it is set to officially launch its in-house brewery, Volo Beer, the Canadian Beer News reported on October 21.
As noted in the announcement:
This coming weekend marks that time of year we would normally celebrate cask-conditioned ale at our annual Cask Days Beer Festival. Cask Days began in 2005 on the patio of Bar Volo’s original Yonge St. location and evolved into one of the largest cask-ale festivals in the world. It will be two years since the last event took place and to keep the spirit alive were honouring the occasion with the launch of our new brewery!
The launch will feature seven Volo-brewed beers pouring on traditional cask, including Pippa Pale Ale (5.2% abv), Masino Session Pale Ale (3.9% abv), Punters Gold Golden Ale (4.6% abv), Consuelo Kellerpils (4.6% abv), Gus Porter (5.4% abv), Piccola Mild with Roasted Chestnuts (3.9% abv), and Orzo Barleywine (8.5% abv). For those who like to compare, three of the beers – Punters Gold, Gus, and Piccola – will also be available on keg draught.

USA, CO: Seedstock Brewery sells to new owners
|
The idea of family connections has always been behind the beer at Seedstock Brewery. It’s why brothers Ron and Jason Abbott and their dad focused on old-world lagers that honor their Czech and Eastern European heritage, as well as their fourth-generation Nebraska farming roots, when they opened the brewery in 2016 — and it’s also why they decided to sell the brewery last month, the Denver Westword reported on October 22.
“It might sound funny, but this was not a hard decision to make. Some things are more important than business and beer,” Ron says. In this case, that thing is, of course, family; Ron has moved back to Omaha to help take care of some ailing relatives, which necessitated the sale.
Easing the blow of backing away from something that they worked so hard to build, however, is the fact that the Abbotts have sold Seedstock to another family with similar values, Ron says.
On September 1, Adam McIlvenna and his parents, Jerry and Kathy McIlvenna, took over Seedstock's location at 3610 West Colfax Avenue, where Adam will continue to brew old-world lagers and other traditional styles. The McIlvennas also plan to keep the name, the logo and the atmosphere as is.

Germany: Three leading beer makers announce price hike next year
|
Three of Germany’s biggest breweries - the Radeberger Group, Krombacher and Veltins - have announced that the price of their beer will increase from next spring. The price hike will affect both the hospitality and retail industries, I am Expat Germany reported on October 23
GetränkeNews, a news provider for the German beverage industry, estimates that the price of Pils, Export and Weizen will rise by about 30 to 50 cents in pubs and bars. The price for a crate of German beer will rise by about a euro.
Radeberger has said it will not raise prices until February, while Krombacher and Veltins want to raise their prices in April. Retail prices might not even be affected until May.
The three breweries have provided justifications for the price hikes. Headquartered in Frankfurt, the Radeberger Group - which is the largest brewery group in Germany - has blamed the rising cost of utilities and raw materials. “In addition to massive losses in turnover and earnings during the 18 months of the pandemic, all companies are now facing further quite massive cost increases for energy, logistics, [and] empties as well as raw materials and supplies,” a company spokesperson said.
Similarly, a spokesperson for Veltins blamed rising

India: Antitrust watchdog raids Associated Alcohols & Breweries and Som Distilleries offices as part of alleged price fixing investigation
|
India's antitrust watchdog on Wednesday, October 27 raided the offices of Associated Alcohols & Breweries and Som Distilleries as part of an investigation into alleged price fixing in liquor products, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter said.
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) officials were conducting search and seizure operations across several cities in a case about the companies allegedly violating anti-trust laws by colluding on prices while seeking necessary regulatory approvals from states, the sources added.
The investigation is looking at price fixing of so-called country liquor, or low-priced locally made alcohol, the sources added.
India has strict regulations for the alcohol sector. Most states individually regulate alcohol pricing and the companies need to submit and get prices approved every year by the local authorities.
Without directly commenting on the raids, a spokesperson for Som Distilleries said liquor prices were fixed by government officials and the company has no say over them.
"We are not the authority to fix the price ... This is a fully government controlled business," the spokesperson said in an email to Reuters.
The CCI did not respond to a request for comment, while e-mails and phone calls to Associated Alcohols went unanswered.
After Reuters published details of the raid,

France: Beer prices could rise by up to 30 cents due to higher production costs
|
The price of a bottle of beer could rise by 15-30 cents in France following an increase in production costs, The Connexion reported on October 26.
Pierre Marchica, the managing director of the 3 Monts brewery in Saint-Sylvestre-Cappel (Flandres) told BFMTV on October 25 that prices could climb by 5-10% for consumers if wholesalers do not act to protect them.
This comes after a wet summer led to a poor harvest, pushing up the price of cereals involved in beer production, especially hops and malt.
Jean-François Drouin, president of brewers union Syndicat national des brasseurs indépendants (SNBI), has told Le Figaro that raw material costs have consequently risen by 30% for brewers.
Breweries are also falling victim to the sharply climbing energy prices that are impacting the whole of France.
Beer production requires a large amount of electricity and gas, and the 7-15% average energy bill increase that brewers are facing – according to Brasseurs de France union – is resulting in a significant increase in costs.
However, the biggest price rise currently faced by brewers is that of packaging, which accounts for 45-50% of the total cost of beer production according to Mr Marchica.
This figure is also on the rise,

Russia: Export duty reduced for barley, increased for wheat and corn
|
The export duty on Russian wheat will be increased from $61.3 to $67 per tonne on October 27, the Ministry of Agriculture said. Duties on corn will also be hiked to $49.7 per tonne.
At the same time, export duties for barley will be lowered from $45.9 to $42.6 per tonne, RT reported on October 23.
The export duty rate is calculated at an indicative price of $295.8 per tonne for wheat, $245.9 for barley, and $256 for corn. The new duty rates will be in effect until November 2.
This summer, Russia introduced a grain damper mechanism, which provides for floating duties on the export of wheat, corn and barley. The duty is 70% of the difference between the indicative price and the base price. Market participants transmit data on contracts to the Moscow Exchange to form the calculation of the indicative price. The base price for wheat is $200 per tonne; for corn and barley, $185 per tonne. Based on that information, the Ministry of Agriculture determines the amount of duty for a period of one week.

Slovenia: Pivovarna Lasko Union to relocate production of its Union beer to Lasko factory from Ljubljana
|
The Slovenian unit of Dutch brewer Heineken, Pivovarna Lasko Union (PLU), plans to relocate the production of the Union beer to its Lasko factory from Ljubljana by January 2022, See News reported on October 27.
The decision is the result of a preventive independent safety assessment of the 35-year-old refrigeration system at the Union Brewery in Ljubljana, which showed that it is no longer suitable for operation and could pose a significant safety risk in the future, PLU said in a statement earlier this week.
The packaging and logistics activities of Union beer will remain at Union Brewery, while the production of soft drinks and water and the administrative and corporate functions do not change their location, the same applies to the Union Pub and the Union Experience Museum, PLU said.
"Due to the complexity of the processes, we do not yet know exactly how many employees this change will have an impact on. We will look for all possibilities to mitigate these effects - re-employment in other organisational units, possibly in Lasko, possible early retirement schemes," communications manager Alenka Rozman said in a video file posted on the website of public broadcaster RTV Slovenia on October 26.

South Africa: Castle Lite beer switching to renewable energy
|
Castle Lite, a beer brand within the South African Breweries (SAB) stable, is switching to renewable energy. This comes as a response to global calls to grow renewable energy and mitigate climate change, ESI Africa reported on October 27.
All seven of SAB’s breweries in South Africa are powered through solar power, with the Alrode brewery in Johannesburg also making use of biogas facilities. From January to August this year, the seven breweries generated over 9.7GWh of renewable electricity and this has also resulted in 9,443 tons of CO2 emissions reductions since the start of the year.
The brand is on a journey to be 100% brewed with renewable electricity and to fully switch to renewable sources by 2025, The move is in line with the SAB and holding company, Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev), global commitment to the 2025 Sustainability Goals in climate action by adding renewable electricity capacity to regional grids and reducing CO2 emissions across the globe.
In 2020, SAB and AB InBev Africa announced that their breweries across South Africa had introduced on-site solar facilities as part of a new multi-billion-rand energy project. The ultimate goal of the project, the group said, is to purchase 100% of the business’s electricity
