USA, IA: 515 Brewing Co. to shut down for good after 12 years in business
|
After 12 years of serving award-winning beers such as Mexican Spring and #Quadgoals, the owners of 515 Brewing Co. in Clive decided to shut down the brewery, The Des Moines Register reported on December 19.
The seven-barrel brewery with a tasting room that offers beer by the glass and take-home crowlers opened in 2013 at 7700 University Ave., Suite C, in Clive. After Dec. 21, the brewery will be closed.
Owners Ryan Rost, Dave Ropte, Bailey Forrest, and Brandon Criger announced in August that they are ready to "step away from the brewing business." They continue to look for a buyer to take over the brewery.
"Opening a brewery and crafting our own beer was a dream come true," Rost said in a news release in August. “The most rewarding part was sharing our beer with our community. We are beyond grateful to everyone who has supported us. We’d love to see someone bring new life to 515 Brewing and take it to the next level.”

India: Bira founder Ankur Jain agrees to step down after months of negotiations with investors
|
Bira founder Ankur Jain has, in principle, agreed to step down from the helm of the company after months of negotiations with investors, according to two people aware of the developments, The Morning Context reported.
The talks have been ongoing for several weeks and have involved significant back-and-forth, with discussions now moving toward a structure under which Jain would cease control of the company. A resolution is expected sooner rather than later, one of the people cited in The Morning Context report said.
According to the report, for some time, Bira’s investors and shareholders have been pressing for a change in management at the troubled beer brand. Earlier this year, Jain was informed that any potential rescue of the company would be contingent on his stepping aside to make way for external professionals, a move he was reportedly reluctant to make for a prolonged period.
According to The Morning Context, the absence of fresh external funding has backed Jain into a corner, exacerbated by mounting personal liabilities. Jain had borrowed money to buy Bira shares from existing investors, and lenders have since sought repayment. In one such instance, an entity linked to Jain borrowed funds from Hero Enterprise chairman Sunil Munjal’s trust, pledging
