Canada, AB: Best of Kin Brewing launches in Calgary
|
After a year of construction, there's a brand new Calgary brewery ready to pour for you, the Eat North reported on September 24.
Best of Kin Brewing is located on the corner of 14th Street S.W. and 10th Avenue S.W. on the cusp of the Sunalta neighbourhood and officially opened its doors on September 17. Its cozy taproom boasts a playful old-meets-new aethestic with mismatched, brightly coloured tables and chairs, and a shipping container kitchen within in a newly built commercial space with floor-to-ceiling windows.
Sunalta has become a bit of an overnight craft beer destination as of late with breweries Tailgunner Brewing Co. and Two House Brewing Company both opening in the past few months as well.
The brewery has launched with three signature brews (a western lager, a largered ale and a hazy IPA) as well as a mix of seasonal creations like the Tafelbier (table saison) and Sailor's Delight (coffee kelp stout). In terms of beer label design, Best of Kin stands a clever approach of bright white labels with simple illustrations.
An interesting element to getting the new Calgary brewery up and running with its Kinship program. The GoFundMe-style campaign presented Calgarians with opportunity to pre-purchase set amounts of gift

USA, WI: Eagle Park Brewing Company announces acquisition of Milwaukee Brewing Company
|
Milwaukee Brewing Company has been acquired by Eagle Park Brewing Company, according to a press release from Eagle Park issued on Monday, September 26.
The release notes that Eagle Park will acquire Milwaukee Brewing's intellectual property, recipes and branding.
Milwaukee Brewing's flagship beers will remain under production, according to Eagle Park. The only change noted by Eagle Park is a "modern, design refresh" for the Milwaukee Brewing brand.
Jake Schinker, co-owner of Eagle Park Brewing said, "We're proud to take the Milwaukee Brewing legacy forward and ensure the future of the brewery as a point of pride for our city."
Eagle Park says they are conducting an active search for a new home for the brewery in Milwaukee, and will temporarily move production of Milwaukee brewing's products to Eagle Park's Muskego and Hamilton facilities.

USA, LA & FL: Urban South Brewing buying Florida-based Perfect Plain Brewing Company
|
Urban South Brewery, the 6-year-old beer-maker based on Tchoupitoulas Street, is buying Perfect Plain Brewing Company, a small craft beer operation in Pensacola, Florida, nola.com reported on September 27.
The acquisition is the second deal by an area craft brewer in the past week, after Gayle Benson-owned Faubourg Brewing Co. said it is merging with a group of breweries owned by an Alabama-based private equity investor that will increase overall volume to five times what Faubourg was brewing.
Jacob Landry, who founded Urban South with Kyle Huling, said their acquisition — the company's first — is part of an expansion plan that includes growing sales by almost one-third next year.
"The value we know we can add is to launch (Perfect Plain) into our distribution network, and together we plan to hit 30,000 barrels in 2023," Landry said. "That would put is in or close to the top 100 craft brewers in the country."
The terms of the deal between Urban South and Perfect Plain, both private companies, was not disclosed.
Urban South, whose top-selling beer is the Paradise Park American lager label, has seen its volume grow sharply in the last three years. In 2019, it opened a second brewery and an 11,000 square

UK: Government abolishes proposed increase in duty rates for beer, cider, spirits and wine
|
The UK government is abolishing a proposed increase in duty rates for beer, cider, spirits and wine, a move widely welcomed by the industry.
The announcement was made on September 23 in a mini-budget delivered by UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng, during which the Government detailed its plans to cut taxes and provide relief to inflation hit business.
Addressing the House of Commons, Kwarteng said: “I have listened to industry concerns about the ongoing reforms. I will therefore introduce an 18-month transitional measure for wine duty. I will also extend draught relief to cover smaller kegs of 20 litres and above, to help smaller breweries.”
Under the new measures, all wine between 11.5% abv and 14.5% abv will be taxed at 12.5%. The “easement” will run for 18 months from 1 August 2023 to the 1 February 2025.
Drink industry associations across the UK are welcoming the duty cancellation and the additional aid aimed at pubs and smaller brewers. Emma McClarkin CEO of The British Beer & Pub Association tweeted: “We welcome the Beer Duty Freeze and recommitment to draught discount & extension to 20L kegs for small brewers.”
Under the proposed legislation a new draught relief will be introduced, which will reduce

UK: Beer prices likely to rise again as pound slumps to record low versus USD
|
The British pound has fallen to a record low against the US dollar will mean beer prices rise, a major brewery boss says, the Chronicle Live reported.
Sterling fell by more than 4% to $1.0327 early in the morning on September 26, having already fallen on Friday, September 23 following Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng's 'mini-budget '.
The slump means the pound as its lowest rate versus the dollar since Britain adopted decimalisation in 1971. It means goods bought from the US - or, in the case of oil, paid for in American dollars - will cost more in the UK, as Brits' currency is worth less than before compared to the USA's.
One such good is hops, used in beer. While many UK breweries use mainly British hops, American hops are also imported to make beer in Britain.
Paul Davies, chief executive officer at Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company, has suggested the fall of the pound may cause a rise in beer prices.
He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that the drop was “worrying” for the British beer industry, which imports beer and hops from overseas. Breweries, bars and pubs are already facing rising costs due to energy prices and inflation.

South Korea: Diageo to revoke Windsor whisky management rights given to Bayside Private Equity and Metis Private Equity
|
London-based global alcoholic beverage company Diageo plc announced on September 27 it plans to revoke the management rights of the Windsor whisky brand previously given to the Bayside Private Equity and Metis Private Equity (Bayside/Metis) consortium in South Korea, The Korea Economic Daily reported.
Diageo operates from 132 sites around the world, mainly distributing Scotch whisky and other spirits.
In March, Diageo agreed to the sale of the Windsor brand including the W series to Bayside/Metis for an aggregate consideration of 200 billion won ($140.7 million). Under the agreement, Diageo will supply Scotch whisky to the consortium for 10 years.
The alcoholic beverage behemoth claimed the Bayside/Metis consortium failed to fulfill the stipulations laid out in the contract in full and that further details are hard to disclose.
In South Korea, Diageo has two separate corporations, namely Diageo Korea and Windsor Global.
Following the split, the Windsor business in South Korea will be operated by Windsor Global, not Diageo Korea.
Windsor is considered one of the top three whiskies in the world, along with GoldenBlue and Imperial.
Industry insiders say it is unlikely for the company to pursue the Windsor business sale again in the foreseeable future.

Belgium: More female brewers rising to prominence
|
Despite beer advertisements being mainly targeted towards men, the brewing industry seems to be become more and more of a woman's game, The Brussels Times reported on September 25.
If most advertising campaigns are to be believed, beer is the preserve of men. The target audience of most alcoholic beverages are predominantly male but in fact, beer brewing especially was originally an activity carried out by women in several ancient civilisations.
Today, more and more female brewers are rising to prominence, particularly in Belgium.
Despite its modern association with masculinity, the process of making beer was actually invented by women around the fourth millennium BC in Mesopotamia. Brewing was even an activity dedicated to women in Sumerian mythology.
There was also a goddess of beer, Ninkasi. In Egypt too the deity related to this beverage was female: Menqèt. At that time, beer was brewed with barley, wheat and dates to be used for fermentation.
It became popularised in Europe among the Germans and Celts, while the Roman Empire despised beer in favour of wine.
Around the third and fourth centuries, in the Scandinavian countries, Norse law indicated that Viking women were responsible for brewing.
The incorporation of hops in cervoise, the ancestor of beer, would also be

Ireland: Irish brewers worried by new health warning considered for beer bottles worries
|
Tourists wooed to Ireland by the “craic” will soon be looking at dire cancer warnings on the beer they came to drink, it’s claimed, The Irish Sun reported on September 26.
New laws forcing drinks companies to issue stark cancer, liver disease and pregnancy health warnings are in the works and are currently being considered in Europe.
For Drinks Ireland beer chairman Peter Mosley, whose industry is slowly emerging from two damaging years, it’s another headache they could do without.
He told the Irish Sun: “When people come to Ireland then they will be bombarded with this message, Irish products are potentially carcinogenic, whereas their domestic beers are not.
“It doesn’t really help us in any shape or form.
“We do spend a lot of time and money marketing the drinks industry, the craic, the bars, large brands here spend a lot of time emphasising their heritage and place in Irish society.
“People do come to Ireland to enjoy that. So it is potentially counterproductive. It will be a while before we see the full impact of that.”
He also fears that by forcing label warnings on overseas producers, they might not bother with the “headache” and “send their pallets of wine somewhere else”.
