USA, CA: Moirae Brewing Company holds soft opening in Cameron Park
|
After over a year of searching for a permanent location, a family-owned craft brewery has opened its doors in the Sacramento area, Sacramento Bee reported on April 22.
Moirae Brewing Company held its soft opening in Cameron Park on Saturday, April 19.
“Moirae Brewing has found a home!” The brewery announced in a March 31 post on Instagram. “This move allows us to expand production, welcome our loyal customers and connect with new ones.”
Moirae Brewing Company owners Zach and Ariela Grinnell have dreamed of opening their own brewery more than a decade, according to the company’s website.
Zach Grinnell, a certified cicerone and beer judge, is an award-winning home brewer and former real estate agent, according to the brewery website and LinkedIn, while his wife has spent the past seven years working at tech company Cisco.
The pair spent five years living in Boston before moving back to the West Coast in 2016, the site said.
In 2019, after settling in El Dorado Hills, the Grinnells set their sights on opening their own brewery — only to have the coronavirus pandemic put those plans on hold.
Now what began as a brewing hobby has finally become a reality, the Moirae

USA, TX: Black Chapel Brewing Co. preparing for May 3 grand opening in Johnston City
|
A new winery tasting room and brewery on the same property are preparing for a May 3 grand opening in Johnson City, about 65 miles from San Antonio. The Charleston Taylor Estate Winery and Black Chapel Brewing Co. will do much more than serve beverages at their new space, MSN reported on April 17.
The estate is located at 6212 W. U.S. Highway 290, which is next to Vinovium, a winery Texans might recognize as the host of the annual Texas Wine Jam.
A photo of the winery, sent via press release, shows an unassuming, rustic structure with a patio and parking. Both the winery and the brewery have been sharing photos and videos of their construction progress for months on Instagram.
The winery, named for the owners' children, takes a community-centered approach, offering plenty of excuses to visit beyond drinking wine. The press release lists haunted tours, tasting events, and workshops — both creating wine blends and Italian cooking. Some of these events center around a 19th century well used for aging wines.
The vineyard uses Cabernet grapes for its wines, and a mix of traditional and modern techniques. Its specialties are sparkling wines and reds, which are made with the winery's "Italian-inspired

Human Robot, known for its foamy Milktube pours, announced the move in an Instagram post Tuesday afternoon. The brewer's Schuylkill Banks location, which opened in 2023, will close at the end of May. An opening date for the space at 2711 W. Girard Avenue is still unknown.
"One of our very first 'meetings' took place in this space, and it holds a very special place in our hearts," Human Robot said of the row home where Crime & Punishment became a neighborhood fixture. "We cherish the memories we've made there over so many exceptional beers and look forward to creating even more with all of you. Our hope is to get it reopened as soon as possible."

Carlsberg Group CEO Jacob Aarup-Andersen has described Malaysia as a “strategic stronghold market” of the brewer, The Sun reported on April 20.
Despite a challenging environment, Carlsberg Malaysia delivered solid growth in revenue and net profit for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2024. It reported a 5.1% increase in revenue to RM2.4 billion and a 3% growth in net profit to RM337.1 million.

Malaysia was a key contributor to our overall performance last year, with strong growth in earnings and a continued focus on premiumisation and innovation.”

Myanmar: Carlsberg stepping up efforts in Myanmar’s beer market
|
Danish brewer Carlsberg is stepping up its efforts in Myanmar’s beer market, where international players are gaining ground amid shifting consumer preferences following the 2021 military coup, Scandasia reported on April 20.
According to a recent report by Nikkei Asia, Carlsberg is actively chasing market leader Heineken through a local joint venture. The company is optimistic about the future, with a spokesperson noting positive momentum across all sales channels, including wholesale and retail, as beer consumption rebounds from pandemic-era lows.
Rather than relying solely on its flagship Carlsberg label, the Danish brewer has found growing success with its Yoma brand, a local offering known for its affordability and high alcohol content—ranging from 6.5% to 8%. This strategy has helped the company connect with cost-conscious consumers seeking stronger brews.
Looking ahead, Carlsberg aims to strengthen its position in the market by introducing its internationally recognized Danish label Tuborg, targeting a broader segment of Myanmar’s increasingly brand-aware beer drinkers.
Carlsberg also emphasizes its local engagement. The company reports that 99% of its employees in Myanmar are local citizens, underscoring its long-term commitment to the country despite political and logistical challenges.
Myanmar’s beer market has seen dramatic changes since the military takeover, which triggered a boycott of domestic

Sweden: Sweden to allow microbreweries to sell beer to visitors, but after a ‘lecture’
|
Sweden will allow its microbreweries, vineyards and distilleries to sell their drinks on-site to visitors, in a relaxation of strict rules on alcohol sales that aim to protect public health and which have been in place since 1955, Reuters reported on April 23.
But visitors must be on a paid tour and must listen to what the law described as a lecture "with real content" about the drink first, as well as facts about the negative effects of alcohol consumption.
Under current rules, shops in the Nordic country can only sell drinks with up to 3.5 percent alcohol. For stronger drinks, consumers must head to Systembolaget, the state-run alcohol chain which operates 450 outlets across Sweden. The stores have limited opening hours, don't advertise alcohol or discount drinks.
The government's so-called "farm sale" law for alcoholic beverages of all strengths takes effect in June and runs for six years before a mandatory evaluation. The law states visitors must have paid, can buy only small "souvenir-style" amounts and have to listen to "a lecture" with an educational element.
The change is controversial and seen by politicians on the left as a first step in dismantling the state's decades-old monopoly on alcohol sales. Sweden was given
