USA: Growing number of imported beer brands now being produced domestically in the US
|
What’s driving craft beer acquisition? International breweries. And it’s not just to create wide-ranging multinational sources of revenue. At a time when import sales are on the rise, some leading European and Japanese brands are actually using their U.S. beer acquisitions as a way to expand the footprint for their flagship products, BevNET.com reported on October 8.
Put simply, a growing number of imported brands are being produced domestically.
It’s happened over the last two years, as several imported beer brands have pushed to increase their availability and create production efficiencies through their purchased facilities.
In 2022, Brewbound first broke the news that Japanese beer maker Sapporo would be acquiring San Diego, California-based craft brewer Stone Brewing in a $165 million deal. The purchase combined Japan’s oldest beer brand with a top-10 craft brewer and top-20 overall U.S. brewery.
Stone produced more than 320,000 barrels of beer in 2023, and still has many craft loyalists still hanging onto its portfolio. However, what seems to have attracted Sapporo to the craft brewery isn’t optimism for a bounceback of the craft segment, but rather its multiple production facilities and open capacity.
In May, Stone-Sapporo – the new joint entity – unveiled details of a three-part expansion plan,

USA: Tilray Brands looking into potential consolidation of its US breweries
|
Canada-based cannabis and beverage company Tilray Brands is studying plans for a potential consolidation of its US breweries.
Tilray has built a presence in the US beer market through M&A, including its August purchase of four breweries from Molson Coors and a clutch of beer brands from Anheuser-Busch InBev last year.
Speaking to analysts following the publication of the group’s fiscal first-quarter results CEO Irwin Simon said: “If we have to consolidate some of our facilities, which we’re right now looking at, we ultimately will.”
The Tilray CEO said the company is drawing up plans to reduce the number of beers in its range.
“If we have a pumpkin beer, we’ll have a pumpkin beer, you know, in similar flavours for Montauk, for Blue Point,” he told analysts. “We’re not going to have all these multiple different formulas out there with a lot of complexity. We’re looking at how we take our tail off our brand. We’re looking at how to take complexity out of our business. We’re going to do some SKU rationalisation.”
In the three months to the end of August, the net revenue Tilray generated from its beverage-alcohol division, including M&A, more than doubled, reaching $56m. The business accounted for 28% of

USA, MO: Great Heart Brewing slated to open in Olivette in early 2025
|
The heart of St. Louis is about to get a taste of European tradition with the arrival of Great Heart Brewing (9514 Olive), slated to open in Olivette in early 2025. Founders John and Helena Valentine plan to blend German brewing techniques with Alpine hospitality to create an inviting community space, St. Louis Magazine reported on October 11.
Great Heart Brewing will offer classic European beer styles, including Helles, Pilsner, Weissbier, and Dunkel, brewed with traditional methods and carefully sourced ingredients. “We want people in Olivette to feel like they’re drinking these beers in a cozy beer hall in Germany,” Helena says. The couple’s attention to detail extends from the German hops to mimicking the exact water profiles of Munich.
One key element of authenticity will be the glassware, something often overlooked in the U.S. but essential in Germany. “In Europe, every beer is served in its proper glass, which enhances the experience,” John explains. “We’re bringing that tradition here. Each beer will have its glass designed to highlight its specific characteristics.” From Weissbier glasses to Pilsner flutes, the Valentines believe that using the right glassware elevates both the beer and the overall drinking experience.
John emphasizes the approachable nature of the beers.

USA, MA: Red Hand Brewing ready to open in Lakeville
|
At the height of the pandemic in August 2020, Brian Donnelly, like many across the globe, lost his job, Enterprise News reported on October 10.
“Without COVID, I would have never left my corporate job,” he said of his 20-plus year career working in accounts receivable.
It was a similar situation for his brother, Shawn, whose trade show company wasn’t doing any traveling or showing of anything. Along with their mother, Karen, the family took this time to think of a new business venture. What they decided on was essentially a dream business, one that reflects both the family’s passion and history: a brewpub.
Now, four years later, Red Hand Brewing is finally ready to open its doors at 348 Bedford St. in Lakeville, which used to be an Eastern Bank. Since leasing the space in November 2022 the family and their contractor have completely gutted it.
“The only thing from the original bank remaining is the vault,” Karen said.
Serving alcohol is a tradition for the Donnelly family. Karen’s father owned a successful bar in Charlestown for many years. The irony being that he wasn’t a drinker.
“He never touched a drop. That’s why he was successful. He didn’t drink all the profits,” Karen said.

USA, MI: Lake Time Brewing and Spirits to hold ribbon cutting ceremony on October 16

The Harbor Country Chamber of Commerce and The Greater Bridgman Area Chamber and Growth Alliance will mark the opening of Lake Time Brewing and Spirits in the heart of Bridgman by performing a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at 4:30 pm on Wednesday, October 16, Moody on the Market reported.
Owners Mike Carlson and Pete Crowley will cut the ribbon officially opening the brewery and distillery doors at 4242 Lake Street.

Their creative technique combines a unique twist on the traditional brewing and distilling process and elevates the taste by utilizing the freshest local hops, purest Lake Michigan water and highest quality grains.
Carlson describes what inspired him to become a brewery owner in a competitive market.
“My wife LeeAnne and I love Bridgman and are committed to its growth and success. When the opportunity to continue to be a part of that growth presented itself, we were all in! I am excited to be a part of this new venture’, says Crowley, ‘I am looking forward to utilizing my 30

USA, TN: Jackalope Brewing Co. acquired by Tennessee-based investment firm Tacoma and Hoyt LLC
|
Jackalope Brewing Co., one of Nashville’s key craft breweries, has announced its acquisition by Tennessee-based investment firm Tacoma and Hoyt LLC. Jackalope has been operating in Nashville since its founding in 2011. The acquisition is aimed at fueling further growth and expansion, according to the recent press release, Craft Brewing Business reported on October 10.
“This acquisition is a huge opportunity for Jackalope to expand its reach while staying true to the values that have made us who we are,” said Wright. “I’m excited to focus on growing our sales and bringing our legendary brews to even more people throughout the Southeast.”
Jackalope Brewing was founded by Bailey Spaulding, one of the first female craft brewery founders in the country. Spaulding will continue as chief beer officer. She will focus on brewing innovative and award-winning beers, ensuring that Jackalope maintains its place as a pioneer in the craft beer world.
“I am thrilled to be a part of this next phase of Jackalope’s journey,” said Spaulding. “This acquisition allows me to focus even more on the beer. I look forward to working alongside Steve [Barone] to build on Jackalope’s legacy while continuing to craft beers that our customers love.”

USA, TX: Mad Pecker Brewing might end beer operations to stay in business
|
Amid dwindling sales of suds, Northwest San Antonio's Mad Pecker Brewing may wind down the beer-production side of its business and focus on food to stay afloat, according to its owner, San Antonio Current reported on October 10.
The change could come as soon as this month, but "right now, it's week-to-week," proprietor Jason Gonzales told the Current on Wednesday. He cited competition with chain restaurants at the nearby Culebra Commons shopping area and a lack of beer culture in San Antonio as key reasons for the drop in brewing revenue.
"When we opened in 2015, there was no Stone Werks, no Bubba's," Gonzales said.
Gonzales' deliberations over what to do with Mad Pecker's brewing side comes as closures roil the Alamo City's craft-beer scene. Eleven-year-old Busted Sandal Brewing Co. last week said it's shutting down all three of its locations, and the taps went dry last month at Weathered Souls Brewing Co.
Mad Pecker has raised beer prices nearly 20% since its launch, but Gonzales said the brewing business still isn't seeing the returns he'd like. Mad Pecker also could scale back and do a smaller batches of beer, providing a potential middle ground, he added.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the brewpub's food sales

Japan: Sales of beer and quasi-beer products shrink 22% in September
|
Sales of beer and quasi-beer products in Japan shrank by an estimated 22 pct from a year earlier in September, data from four major brewers showed on October 10.
Sales were hit by the fallout from a liquor tax hike for beer-like "third-segment" alcoholic beverages and price increase for "happoshu" low-malt quasi-beer products in October last year, as well as by a commercial demand decline due to unfavorable weather conditions including typhoon-caused downpours.
Sales volume fell 25 pct at Kirin Brewery Co., 24 pct at Suntory Spirits Ltd. and 10 pct at Sapporo Breweries Ltd. Asahi Breweries Ltd. posted a 19 pct drop in value.
By product, sales of beer dropped 2 pct and those of "happoshu" plunged 21 pct. Meanwhile, third-segment sales tumbled 46 pct, extending their losing streak to 24 months.
"Overall sales are expected to show a turnaround in October as the adverse effects of the tax hike and happoshu markups would dissipate, although the third segment's slump is likely to continue," a company official said.

Japan: Japanese whisky sales starting to moderate after exploding in demand a decade ago
|
After exploding in demand a decade ago, Japanese whisky sales have started to moderate as more brands enter the market, according to retailers, The Spirits Business reported on October 10.
It’s been nearly 10 years since Suntory’s Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2013 took the top accolade in the Whisky Bible in 2015. Since then, demand has skyrocketed for Japanese whisky but producers have struggled to keep up due to production constraints. However, in recent years, brands have been able to increase production while newer players have joined the fold, alleviating the stress on the category and widening choice for consumers.
In July 2023, spirits retailer Amathus Drinks reported a 186% increase in Japanese spirits sales since 2019, however “growth in high-value Japanese whisky in the past year plateaued due to demand outstripping supply”. Amathus’ triple-digit growth was driven by House of Suntory’s centenary releases, which also boosted the brand owner’s 2023 full-year sales.
More recently, Japanese spirits retailer Dekantā has seen demand for Japanese whisky sit at a stable rate, according to operations director Liam Hiller. The online retailer has been able to fulfil demand as more brands and retailers of Japanese spirits come into the market, Hiller explains.

Australia: Tax Office’s new definition of beer could shake up the industry
|
Australia’s brewing industry is facing a potential shake-up due to a proposed change to the definition of beer by the Australian Tax Office (ATO). This move could see drinks like seltzers, craft beers, and certain lagers reclassified under a higher tax category, which may lead to significant price increases at pubs, 4RO reported on October 9.
The ATO’s new draft definition focuses more on the final product, including its bitterness, alcohol content, and appearance, rather than just the brewing process. If implemented, many beverages currently classified as beer may be moved into the “other excisable beverages” category, subjecting them to a higher excise duty. This could see prices surge for drinks that Aussies commonly enjoy at their local pubs.
For small independent brewers, this reclassification could be devastating. Industry voices have warned that increased costs could hurt an already vulnerable sector, with many struggling to stay afloat in the current economic climate. The fear is that small breweries could face closure, unable to absorb the tax hikes or pass them on to already cash-strapped consumers.
Pub-goers, already grappling with the rising cost of living, may find the cost of a night out becoming even more unaffordable. With the potential for beer prices to

UK: Diageo plans redevelopment of its Talisker Scotch whisky distillery
|
Diageo has proposed a redevelopment of its Talisker Scotch whisky distillery in the Isle of Skye, Yahoo Finance reported on October 10.
The distillery, based in Carbost on the Minginish Peninsula on the Isle of Skye in Scotland was founded in 1830 but is set to be revamped by the UK spirits giant.
In a Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) made last week, Diageo said the development would include the "demolition of existing production facilities" with the view to construct a new distillery and "expand" Talisker's "existing output".
It added that the rebuild would incorporate “sustainable technologies, with associated support facilities at the site, together with all associated infrastructure, including new access, drainage, outfall, road improvement and landscaping works”.
A Diageo spokesperson said: “As a business we continually review our production footprint in support of our long-term growth ambitions for Scotch and the Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) for Talisker Distillery allows us to explore and evaluate potential options.
“A public consultation will form part of the PAN however at this point in time we have no firm plans for investment. Details of the public consultation arrangements will be shared in due course where the community will be able to view these proposals and provide
