USA, TX: Backyard Brewery Co. planning a new location in Dickinson
|
Backyard Brewery Co. is planning to occupy a new 4,900-square-foot building that will house a microbrewery and new restaurant by the end of 2024, the Houston Chronicle reported on December 28.
Currently located about 200 to 300 feet outside Dickinson city limits, the brewery at 1675 Dickinson Avenue is a little off the beaten path.
The new location would place the business across the street from city hall — the ideal spot for the kind of community watering hole vice president and head brewer Mike Starr has in mind.
“The idea is to move our brewing operations and the restaurant right near the heart of Dickinson,” Starr said.
The 36-year-old said he hopes to recreate what has made the brewing company a staple for craft beer enthusiasts in the Dickinson community and beyond since it opened in 2019.
With its Astro turf flooring and bamboo fencing, the Backyard experience is what its name advertises.
“We want it to feel like you’re drinking beer in your backyard,” Starr said. “I want to keep that same vibe.”
The bar and brewery will take up the first floor. The restaurant — which will include a terrace with 21-years-and-over seating — will be on the second floor, serving American-style comfort

USA, TX: Ingenious Brewing Company closing the doors permanently in January
|
The owners of Humble's Ingenious Brewing Company said on December 26 they are closing the doors permanently during the first week of 2024, marking an end of the six-year-old business, the Houston Chronicle reported.
"It is with a heavy heart that today we have to announce the upcoming closure of our dear brewery." the company said in a Facebook post. "As many of you are aware, COVID-19 and the consequential economic/sociologic changes have been brutal to craft beer industry; we were no exception."
Founded in 2017 by Justin Gyorfi, a urologist, and Mike Broderick, a home brewer originally from Pennsylvania, Ingenious has billed itself as a brewpub that specialized in small-batch beers, particularly stouts and IPAs.
The company was issued its first license from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission in 2017, and most recently renewed it in August, according to state records. The brewpub opened to the public in 2018.
The company said the financial blows caused by the COVID-19 pandemic had finally taken its toll.
"We strapped down and pivoted every way possible to try and lessen the loss," the post said. "Unfortunately it’s now nearly 3 years later and despite multiple rounds of loans and the employee retention credits keeping us floating, the

USA, NJ: Flying Fish Brewing files for bankruptcy
|
Flying Fish Brewing Co., one of the oldest breweries in South Jersey, has filed for bankruptcy, the Press of Atlantic City reported on December 30.
The Somerdale, Camden County, company's filing comes on the heels of it failing to sell its assets earlier this year to Cape May Brewing Company.
Flying Fish listed liabilities of roughly $8 million in a Chapter 11 filing Thursday. It reported assets of about $1.3 million, which included its brewing equipment worth about $500,000.
In the filing, Flying Fish cited a decline in gross revenue, falling from about $4 million in each of the previous two years to $3.1 million for this year through Wednesday. It will continue operations as a debtor in possession.
Flying Fish opened in 1996 in Cherry Hill and moved to nearby Somerdale in 2012. It distributes beer to New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland.
In the spring, Cape May Brewing announced it would acquire Flying Fish's production facility and other assets, including the Flying Fish name. That deal fell through in June.
“After extensive analysis during the diligence phase, Cape May Brewing Company determined it will not complete the planned acquisition of Flying Fish,” brewery President Frank Stempin told The Press of Atlantic City in October.

USA, MI: Ellison Brewing Co. to permanently close its REO Town location

Ellison Brewing Co. announced plans on December 29 to permanently close its South Washington Avenue location in REO Town, the Lansing Estate Journal reported.
The brewery, restaurant and private event space's last day of operation will be Saturday, according to a post on the business's Facebook page. It's one of two locations operated by owner Aaron Hanson who opened Ellison Brewing in 2015. Ellison Brewery + Spirits, located on Dawn Avenue in East Lansing, will continue to operate, according to the social media post.
"After an extensive analysis of 2023 sales, expenses, lease renewal and 2024 economic trends, we are making the decision to permanently close the REO Town location as we couldn't make the numbers work to make that location profitable," it read. "We cannot accept keeping it open and operating at a net loss. All our employees have been offered jobs in production or at the East Lansing taproom as we feel we have a great team and we want to retain them."
Hanson could not be reached for comment at either brewery location Friday afternoon.
The business extended its lease at 1314 S. Washington Ave. in REO Town into December "while we figured out what the future looks like," according to

Bolivia: Beer industry facing brewing concerns over new government measure
|
A recent government measure has sparked alarm and discontent among producers and entrepreneurs in Bolivia’s beer industry. Although the specifics of this measure are not detailed in the provided content, the implication suggests a significant negative impact on the sector, potentially affecting beer production, marketing, or regulation in the country, bnnbreaking.com reported on December 22.
This development has prompted those involved in the industry to express concern, indicating that there could be adverse consequences for businesses, employees, and beer consumers. The industry’s reaction suggests that the measure might have been unexpected or its effects not fully evaluated before implementation.
The unrest in the sector underscores the importance of beer in the local economy and the role it plays in employment and leisure. The news highlights the need for a dialogue between the government and representatives of the beer industry to address concerns and seek solutions benefiting both sides and consumers.
In a related context, tax evasion due to illegal alcoholic beverages in Bolivia reaches $380 million per year, equating to 20% of the country’s total alcohol market. This situation directly affects the national industry, as 75% of this market consists of smuggled merchandise. According to a study, the money lost by the state

Brazil: Billionaire Marcel Telles hands stake in AB InBev to son as part of succession plannning
|
Marcel Telles, the billionaire Brazilian investor who cofounded buyout firm 3G Capital Inc., donated his stake in brewer Anheuser-Busch InBev SA to his son Max in a major step toward succession planning, Bloomberg reported on December 26.
Telles’ stake in AB InBev, which he helped build through a series of deals with his partners Jorge Paulo Lemann and Carlos Sicupira, is worth about $6.1 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
He’ll transfer the entirety of the stake to Max, who will also replace him at the entity that controls the investment, according to a filing on December 26 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Telles, 73, is the youngest of the billionaire trio and the one who spent the most time working at brewers during their partnership that stretches back to the 1970s. He ran Brazil’s Brahma after it was acquired by their former investment bank Garantia in the late 1980s and then helped create Ambev in 1999. AB InBev, maker of Budweiser, Stella Artois and Michelob Ultra, was formed in 2008 after mergers with Belgium’s Interbrew and Anheuser-Busch.
Telles’ net worth has gained 9% this year to $10.7 billion, according to Bloomberg’s wealth index.

Russia: Russia's Baltika asks Kremlin to protect its trademarks abroad
|
Russia’s leading brewer Baltika has asked Russia to help protect its brands in what Moscow calls "friendly" countries, the Vedomosti daily reported on December 29, amid a battle with Danish brewer Carlsberg over the right to use a number of trademarks.
A Russian court found in December that Baltika, Russia's second-largest brewer, could continue to use Carlsberg brands even though the Danish brewer has been stripped of control of the firm and revoked Baltika's licences.
Baltika's first vice president, Alexander Dedegkaev, told Kremlin chief of staff, Anton Vaino, in a letter that the right to use a series of major brands had been transferred to Carlsberg improperly in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Vedomosti reported, citing the letter.
Dedegkaev therefore requested that Vaino, one of the most powerful men in the Kremlin, ask the patent offices of CIS countries and Turkmenistan and Mongolia to suspend the registration of license agreements for the use of the brands, Vedomosti reported.
Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the temporary seizure of Carlsberg's stake in Baltika in July, along with French yoghurt maker Danone's Russian subsidiary.

South Korea: Major brewer Hite Jinro to target young whisky lovers in 2024
|
Major brewer Hite Jinro targets young South Korean consumers in their 20s and 30s with lineups such as whisky and spirits. The beverage company has recently become the importer and distributor of Cutty Sark, a popular brand of blended Scotch whisky, to maintain its position as the top player in South Korea's alcoholic beverage market estimated to exceed one billion trillion won ($7.7 billion) in 2023, Aju Korea Daily reported on December 29.
According to the state customs office, a total of 26,937 tons of whisky liquor was imported between January and October 2023. The customs office predicted that the total annual whisky import volume for this year will exceed 30,000 tons for the first time. The number of spirit enthusiasts has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic when people grounded by the government's social distancing regulations chose to spend more money to drink spirits and liquors at home than to drink cheap beer and Soju, traditional Korean liquor.
Whisky, which is more expensive compared to beer and Soju, was regarded as luxury goods in South Korea. The foreign spirit was normally served to important guests or was mainly consumed by people in their 40s and 50s who visit luxury bars
