USA, PA: Wissahickon Brewing opening new location in Maple Glen
|
Wissahickon Brewing has leased the building that was most recently the Brick & Barrel restaurant, located at 870 Welsh Road in Maple Glen (Horsham Township), and has a pending “brewery storage” license in the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Bureau’s license database. Breweries are allowed to open a handful of satelitte locations off of their initial license that are referred to generally as storage licenses, AroundAmbler.com reported on July 16.
This will be the brewery’s third location. The brewery launched in 2017 in the East Falls section of Philadelphia and recently opened its second location in the Olde Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia. Brick & Barrel closed in 2024.
AroundAmbler.com spoke with Tim Gill, Jr., who operates the business with his father, Tim Gill, and his siblings. Gill, who has lived in Maple Glen for eight years, shared some details about bringing a brewery to the community where he lives.
Wissahickon Brewing wasn’t actively looking to open a third location so soon after the opening of the Olde Kensington location, but they liked the location and felt that it was something that the community would embrace.
Gill is targeting a fall opening that would capture a Phillies playoff run and a portion of the Eagles’ regular season.

USA, CT: New England Brewing acquires Stony Creek Brewery facility in Branford
|
New England Brewing Co. (NEBCO) announced on July 18 that it has acquired the Stony Creek Brewery facility in Branford, according to a press release.
This new location for the brewery, whose other location is on Amity Road in Woodbridge, will now house their primary brewing operations and be main headquarters for staff.
The Branford space is located along the Branford River, providing a “waterfront experience plus added amenities to welcome beer fans from across the state.”
“This expansion is a long time coming and a significant milestone for us,” Rob Leonard, owner of NEBCO, said. “The timing aligns perfectly for us to expand our reach in the craft beer community.”
Ed Crowley along with his son, Ed Jr. and his wife Peggy launched the Stony Creek brand in 2010 and opened the brewery in Branford in 2015. This sale includes the brewery space, but not the Stony Creek brand.
“After many incredible years of brewing and serving our community, we felt it was the right time to step away,” Ed Crowley said. “Were grateful to have found a Connecticut-based brewer to take over the reins. We have full confidence in NEBCOs ability to elevate the space and continue its tradition as a vibrant destination

USA, PA: Appalachian Brewing Company closes Harrisburg City brewpub after 28 years in business
|
Appalachian Brewing Company has closed its Harrisburg City brewpub after 28 years due to declining business, Pennlive.com reported on July 15.
Co-owner Artie Tafoya said the restaurant at 50 N. Cameron St. closed on July 12. The Abbey Bar will remain open for events and live music and the brewery will remain operational.
Tafoya stressed business in the city has dropped off since the COVID-19 pandemic as more state employees work from home.
“It’s a matter of the market right now,” he said. “It’s just another adaptation in our business life. If we’re not trying, we’re not going to have success in the future.“
Appalachian opened in 1997 in a renovated warehouse and was part of a regional craft beer boom.
Appalachian expanded with brewpubs in Lititz, Silver Spring Township, Carlisle and Gettysburg. Those locations remain open.
In its heyday, ABC’s Harrisburg brewpub was popular for business lunches, family dinners and events.
But in recent years, Tafoya said it became increasingly difficult to fill tables. He said they tried different approaches, such as shaving back hours and opening on weekends-only to no avail.
A few blocks from ABC, Harrisburg’s downtown has been marked by business closings and marred by graffiti since the pandemic that had thousands of state

Bulgaria: Brewers investments in innovative projects total EUR16.4 mln in H1
|
Bulgarian brewers invested 32 million levs ($19 million/16.4 million euro) in innovative projects in the first half of 2025, the Union of Brewers in Bulgaria (UBB) said on July 18.
The sector contributed 64 million levs to budget revenues in the January-June period, the UBB said in a press release.
From June to August, Bulgarian brewers produced 1.7 million hectolitres of beer. Beer sales in Bulgaria totalled 1.75 million hectolitres during the review period.
Bulgarian brewers are also reporting significant progress in innovative eco-friendly practices. Compared to 2020, consumption of electricity for the production of one litre of beer has gone down by 40%, while carbon emissions of brewing companies in Bulgaria have declined by 30%.
The UBB members account for 99% of the beer produced in the country. They include major brewing companies such as Bolyarka - VT, Britos, Zagorka, Kamenitza, Carlsberg Bulgaria, Lomsko Pivo and Dorovski Invest, which is behind the Glarus craft beer range, as well as their suppliers of equipment and raw materials.

Ireland: Killarney Brewing and Distilling to cease operations at its two plants in Co Kerry
|
Killarney Brewing and Distilling Company (KBD) is to cease operations at its two plants in Co Kerry in the coming days, in another blow to the Irish drinks industry, the Independent reported on July 17.
An examiner appointed to the company will be making an application to the courts on July 18 regarding the future of the business. It is unclear if this will result in the company entering receivership, but it is understood the production of beer and whiskey at the company will end soon.
Huge doubts about its viability had been raised in recent mo nths because of increased running costs, global trading uncertainty, and consequences arising from the pandemic.
More than 50 people work at the company’s two Co Kerry sites in Killarney and Fossa, and the company supplies drinks to many pubs and hotels in surrounding areas.
James Anderson, a partner at Deloitte Ireland, was appointed as interim examiner to KBD in April when the company filed a petition with the High Court after a potential merger with a US partner fell through. Entering examinership was seen as the most viable path to secure its future. It gave the business protection from creditors and a 100-day window for an examiner
