USA, CA: Barebottle Brewing Company opening its first East Bay location this fall
|
Barebottle Brewing Company is opening its first East Bay location this fall. Barebottle is looking to open in October at 1375 South California Blvd., the brewery announced in a social media post on September 8.
There is no set date for the grand opening, but Barebottle said it is targeting “beginning of October.”
This Barebottle will be approximately 5,000 square feet and accompanied by outdoor seating, according to the post. The brewery takes over the space that was previously occupied by a grocery store, Barebottle said.
There is also a parking lot right in front of the brewery, which the brewery says is “a Barebottle first!”
There are currently five Barebottle locations across four Bay Area cities: San Francisco, Santa Clara and Menlo Park. The Barebottle brand was co-founded in 2007 by Lester Koga, Michael Seitz, and Ben Sterling, who were classmates at Cornell Business School in Ithaca, New York.
The first location opened in San Francisco in 2016. Barebottle now has a fanbase of more than 35,000 followers across its Facebook and Instagram pages.
Also opening in Walnut Creek this fall is Calicraft Brewing Co. That is expected to open in October with a concept focused on cocktails at a rooftop bar on 1511 Mt.

USA and Southeast Asia: Brewers Association promotes craft beer in Southeast Asia
|
The Brewers Association, which promotes US craft breweries, has outlined plans to “convert interest” in American craft beer in Southeast Asia into “sustainable growth”, The Drinks Business reported on September 11.
The Brewers Association, a not-for-profit trade group representing more than 9,000 breweries across the United States, has devised an Export Development Programme (EDP) to advance promotional activities in Southeast Asia.
The association recently appointed Beer Asia, a Singapore-based consulting firm that helps businesses enter and grow in the Asia-Pacific markets, to drive growth on the ground in markets its members are looking to target.
Following an initial shipment of member beers from the US, Beer Asia has worked to activate a series of events, focused at both trade and consumers, in Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.
The Brewers Association has said its activities in the region are still in the early stages. However, the group has reported strong engagement for hop-forward offerings and solid interest in lighter, fruit-forward and experimental styles among consumers in Southeast Asia.
Its next step will be to launch three activations in Kuala Lumpur in September, with the aim of introducing Malaysian buyers and consumers to beers brewed by its members. The association has said it wants to reinforce premium positioning,

USA, FL: Doc’s Hop Shop brewery to permanently close its doors at the end of the month
|
It’s the end of an era for Doc’s Hop Shop, a downtown Pensacola brewery that will be permanently closing its doors at the month’s end at 500 E. Heinberg St., Pensacola News Journal reported on September 11.
“After years of pouring pints, sharing laughs, and building a community around great beer, our very own Doc is officially retiring. Doc’s Hop Shop will be closing its doors on September 30th,” Doc’s Hop Shop shared in a social media statement. “We can’t thank Pensacola enough for all the love and support you’ve shown. Come raise a glass with us before then and help celebrate Doc’s retirement! Doctor’s orders.”
The brewery replaced the former Gulf Coast Brewery in 2022, led by co-owners and father-and-son duo Steve Moehle and Rob Moehle.
Steve spent 28 years as a family doctor in Pensacola, but most everyone knew him as “Doc.” When retirement wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, he started on a new, hobby-forward career venture alongside his son, leaning into puns such as the “Two Pils Pilsner” to align with the theme.
The brewery was redesigned to give a nostalgic, old-school atmosphere paired with craft beer. Some of the stand-outs included their raspberry wheat brewed with fresh

USA, DE: Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant abruptly closes flagship brewpub in Newark, two more restaurants in Pennsylvania and New Jersey
|
Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant abruptly closed its flagship, original brewpub in downtown Newark on Sept. 10. It had been in operation for nearly 30 years, Delaware Online reported.
Two other restaurants in the brewery's 16-restaurant chain also were on the chopping block, closing for good: its Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania, and Voorhees, New Jersey, locations.
The company said in a Sept. 10 statement that the closing of the Newark restaurant, which has been at 147 E. Main St. since 1996, along with the other sites, is "part of the company’s ongoing efforts to adapt to a changing business landscape while focusing on strengthening its long-term growth and success."
It was Newark's lone brewery.
Iron Hill's remaining restaurants include two others in Delaware: the 22-year-old site on Wilmington's Riverfront, which received a more than $1 million facelift in 2019, and the Rehoboth Beach location, operating since 2018.
"This decision was not made lightly," Mark Kirke, CEO of Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant, said in a statement regarding the closings. He said the company, which has expanded to open restaurants in Georgia and South Carolina in recent years, would continue to evolve and strengthen its brand.

UK: Diageo to cut around 60 jobs in Northern Ireland, outsource some positions to India
|
Drinks giant Diageo is shedding around 60 jobs in Northern Ireland across a number of functions, with some positions being outsourced to India, MSN reported on September 11.
The Irish News understands that the redundancies will come among customer service staff, and the credit team and trade terms.
Diageo, which owns world-famous brands including Guinness, Harp, Hop House 13, Rockshore, Smithwick’s, Baileys, Roe & Co, Smirnoff, Gordons and Tanqueray, currency employs around 300 people across three sites in Northern Ireland.
These include its beer packaging plant in east Belfast, corporate headquarters in Belfast city centre (which include its GB and Ireland customer service and credit teams), and the Baileys global supply facility at Mallusk, which produces and exports Baileys to over 150 markets worldwide.
A Diageo spokesperson said: “In order to support Diageo’s future growth ambition and to optimise our customer support processes, we propose to consolidate some commercial operations capabilities from Diageo Northern Ireland into our commercial experience centre of excellence in India.
“This proposed transition may impact a number of commercial operations roles at Diageo Northern Ireland, and we are committed to supporting our employees through a comprehensive consultation process and provide support during this transition period.”
Diageo has been an integral part of

Thailand: Thai government lifts decades-old ban on afternoon alcohol sales
|
In a significant policy shift, the Thai government has officially lifted its decades-old ban on afternoon alcohol sales in restaurants, providing a major boost for the country’s beer, hospitality, and tourism industries, Asia Brewers Network reported on September 12.
The regulation, which had been in place for over 50 years, prohibited the sale of any alcohol product between 2pm and 5pm.
The decision has been widely praised by the food and beverage industry, including Thailand’s growing craft beer community. For breweries and distributors, this change unlocks a critical three-hour sales window, directly addressing a long-standing frustration for tourists and locals alike.
The Restaurant Business Association estimates that the move could increase sales by up to 25%. This is welcome news for the entire beer industry, as it translates directly into increased demand during a traditionally slow period of the day.
The previous ban was seen as an outdated rule that hindered the potential of Thailand’s vibrant hospitality scene. Removing it allows for a more consistent consumer experience and better reflects the social habits of international visitors, allowing for social afternoon consumption.
This policy change is a strong signal of a more favorable and modern business environment for the alcohol industry. It follows other recent progressive
