News Articles


Barley news USA: American Malting Barley Association releases 2024 Recommended Variety List with three additions
The American Malting Barley Association (AMBA) Board of Directors annually develops a list of recommended malting barley varieties for U.S. growers for the upcoming crop year. AMBA is a nonprofit trade organization, which represents the interests of end-users of malting barley, including maltsters, brewers, distillers and food processors. Their work seeks to maintain a stable and high quality supply of malting barley for their nearly 60 members throughout the United States, the Craft Brewing Business reported on January 9.

The AMBA Recommended List is intended to provide U.S. growers with guidance as to what varieties the industry may be contracting or purchasing in the coming year. It is not intended as a list of approved or certified malting varieties for the use by brewers, distillers, food companies, or maltsters. There may be many suitable malting barley varieties grown domestically or internationally that are not on the list, yet have quality characteristics desired by the industry. Some varieties will be used in large quantities and many others are only utilized in niche markets, so producers are encouraged to contact their local elevator, grain handler, or processor to gauge market demand for any variety grown in their region prior to seeding.

Brewery news USA, OR: Von Ebert Brewing buys Ecliptic Brewing’s North Portland production facility and taproom
Embarking on a major expansion, Von Ebert Brewing has purchased Ecliptic Brewing’s North Portland production facility and taproom, aiming to grow from producing 4,000 barrels annually to potentially 20,000, with a significant boost in distribution, Oregon Live reported on January 9.

Even amid a downturn in the beer industry, the award-winning brewery is betting on the cachet attached to the Von Ebert name, having won numerous prestigious awards since its founding in 2018, including five Great American Beer Festival medals. Its beers have grown in popularity and demand, but capacity at its two brewhouses has been maxed out for years.

“Our mood right now is humbly excited,” said Sam Pecoraro, Von Ebert’s brewmaster. “Obviously during COVID things have been a little bit more difficult, but we’ve had a plan for a number of years to increase production.”

Von Ebert plans to open a taproom at the new location, 825 N. Cook St., but it likely won’t fire up what was Ecliptic’s kitchen. Instead, Pecoraro said the Von Ebert team is looking to reimagine the exterior area into a “really creative outdoor space,” with food carts, a small dog park and a permanent structure all being considered.

Ecliptic’s astronomical theme will give way to Von ...More info on site


Brewery news Canada, BC: Beva Brewing and Blending opens for business in North Vancouver
A new brewery is bringing clean classics and something for the beer-nerds to an untapped neighborhood in North Vancouver, North Shore News reported on January 9.

Beva Brewing and Blending opened its doors for business in December at 1405 Pemberton Ave. in the Norgate area.

Years in the making by a cast of owners with decades of combined experience in the beer-making and hospitality industries, Beva is getting started with a menu of brews that include a hazy pale ale, a saison, two lagers, a session pale ale and a mixed-culture farmhouse sour.

With an undercurrent of Italian (“beva” means “drink”) flowing through the business, they will also be serving up fresh Italian-style sandwiches, which will be on offer starting at a grand opening party on Saturday, Jan 13.

Picking a location away from Lower Lonsdale – home to North Vancouver’s brewery district – allowed them to host a larger tasting room, seating 50 people inside and 20 on the patio, says Morgan Miller, co-owner and taproom manager. She’s also a certified cicerone, which is like the beer equivalent to a wine sommelier.

Since opening last month, nice people from the surrounding Norgate neighbourhood have been pouring into the brewery, Miller said.

“They’ve been living here ...More info on site


Brewery news USA, TX: Deadbeach Brewery's Regional Craft Brewery celebrates grand opening in El Paso
Craft beer fans in El Paso now have a new spot: Deadbeach Brewery's Regional Craft Brewery celebrated its grand opening Tuesday, January 2nd, KVIA reported.

The new location, which is now in south central El Paso, has been "in the works for many, many years" according to Deadbeach's marketing director, Veronica Hernandez.

“We went through a lot of construction during COVID," said Hernandez.

"We did so much, so what we’ve been trying to do is be very very patient and get everything together so that way the community can have a Deadbeach they can enjoy once again," she added.

The reasoning for moving to a new location from downtown stemmed from Deadbeach's need to manufacture more beer, as well as adding a restaurant and kitchen space.

The tavern and restaurant, called "Deadbeach Craft Kitchen," features a full menu with "original favorites and many brand-new offerings."

The new brewery and tavern is located at 3200 Durazno Ave.


Brewery news USA, MN: Intuition Brewing officially opens its doors in Willmar
A full tap list containing all eight sponsored beers was finally made fully available to the public as local start-up brewery Intuition Brewing officially opened its doors during its "Official, Official" Grand Opening Party in downtown Willmar on Saturday, January 6, the West Central Tribune reported.

The brewery sits in the former location of Foxhole Brewhouse, which moved its business to a new location on Highway 71 late last year. Intuition Brewing is operated by co-owners Micah Larson and Liz Heimer. Larson, who first found a love for brewing with a home-brew kit seven years ago, is still processing the fact that he co-owns a brewery selling beer and seltzers he crafted himself.

"It's very surreal," Larson said. "I've talked about having my very own brewery for a very long time."

Despite Saturday serving as the grand opening, the brewery has been operating for a couple of weeks following a successful soft launch on Dec. 23. Larson said they wanted to wait until all eight sponsored brews and seltzer were available for people to check out before having an official opening.

The brewery is now open Wednesday through Friday from 3 to 10 p.m., and Saturday from noon until 10 p.m.



Brewery news USA, WI: Pals Brewing Company plans to open a location in Wisconsin
A Nebraska-based brewery plans to open a location in Wisconsin at the end of 2024 as part of a joint venture, the Lincoln Journal Star reported on January 7.

Pals Brewing Company, which is located in North Platte, is opening an indoor-outdoor facility on the west side of Wisconsin Dells in a partnership with the Kaminski family, which owns Chula Vista Resort. The future brewpub and family restaurant, which will also be called Pals Brewing Company, is set to have seating for more than 500 people between its indoor and outdoor facilities, and will serve a wide array of foods, deliver pizza and feature a large assortment of beers and related drinks, nearly all of which are company brews

“It literally is like your friend,” said Pete Oettinger, a co-owner of Pals. “The tagline is ‘Come as strangers, leave as pals.’”

Mike Kaminski and his family, along with the Oettinger family, which owns Pals, teamed up to begin the venture roughly three years ago. The Wisconsin Dells Common Council approved plans for the family restaurant, which is slated to open in December 2024, and will feature three bar areas, roughly 20 beer taps, a dog-friendly outdoor area, and a live entertainment stage.

Brewery news USA, MA: Arcpoint Brewing one step closer to opening in Belchertown
Chris Peterson, CJ Eldridge and Dave Pare from Arcpoint Brewing are one step closer to opening the first brewery and taproom in Belchertown after the Select Board approved their all alcoholic beverages license at its Jan. 2 meeting, the Reminder Publications reported on January 9.

Arcpoint brewing signed a 10-year lease at 30 Front St. in July and architects have been designing and constructing the space ever since.

Peterson said, “The price was right, the place was great, the location was great, it was like winning the lottery to the point where we locked down the lease last January and have been paying on the lease before we even got the loan squared away because we were that excited.

Pare and Peterson were at the Select Board meeting to discuss the timeline for the new brewery and taproom.

Pare added, “We have been working at this for some time here with the town and some things kind of derailed us along the way, but we are back on track, and we’ve signed a long term lease. Our goal is to get our brewery up and running within the next couple of months.”

Arcpoint brewing plans to have different food trucks at the brewery as a ...More info on site


Brewery news USA, MA: Whitinsville's Murder Hill brewery and taproom slated to open in early 2024
Murder Hill LLC, a newly established brewery in Whitinsville, recently announced the forthcoming opening of its brewery and taproom in early 2024. The brewery and taproom will offer a wide range of original brews and collaborations, as well as food and occasional entertainment, the Craft Brewing Business reported on January 9.

Nestled within the historic Linwood Mill complex at 670 Linwood Ave, Whitinsville, Massachusetts, the standalone building offers a picturesque setting situated just feet from the Mumford River at the Linwood Pond Dam Waterfall. The 2,400-sq-ft space was originally refurbished and occupied by Purgatory Beer Co.

Co-founders, wife and husband, Adrienne and Ben Roesch are gearing up to deliver an authentically unique taproom experience. Adrienne, managing the taproom and customer experience, emphasizes the prime location in South Central Worcester County. The building sits in the Blackstone National Heritage Corridor — the birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution — surrounded by nature and recreational gems like Purgatory Chasm and the Blackstone River Bikeway.

Adrienne says “ We are excited to be a part of the mill’s long and industrious history.”

Ben, a 23 year veteran of the Massachusetts craft beer industry, cofounder of Wormtown Brewery, and creator of “Be Hoppy,” will oversee brewing operations with ...More info on site
