|
A local microbrewery is opening its second Meridian location, boisedev.com reported on November 22.
Patrons can now enjoy a pint at Loose Screw Beer in downtown Meridian, at the corner of Main St. and Carlton Ave.
The building used to be Chapel of the Chimes funeral home, but has been remodeled to include the brewery’s entire production facility, different spaces with a view of the production facility, and an events center atop the brewery with “a spacious balcony, perfect for private parties and special occasions.”
“This isn’t your typical brewery,” said Mike Garcia, co-owner of Loose Screw Beer Co in a news release. “We’ve built something truly special for downtown Meridian, and we couldn’t have done it without our amazing real estate partners — Joe Borton, Treg Bernt, and Robert Shappe. Their support helped bring this vision to life.”
The release adds that the second location will continue to serve “crazy good beer” with their head brewers continuing their creative and innovative approach to beer.
The brewery opens at noon every day, and stays open until 9 p.m. Monday and Sunday, 10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, and until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

USA, OH: Scotty’s 22 Brew coming to Greenfield around spring of 2025

A visionary from Greenfield who has a background in microbiology and chemistry will bring brewing local beer to Washington Court House when he opens a brewery in the downtown area, Record Herald reported on November 20.
Scotty’s 22 Brew is set to become a reality around spring of 2025.

Benner is currently renovating a major portion of the first floor of the Marshall Building at the corner of Main and East streets, formerly owned by David Ogan, and formerly the historic Midland Grocery Co. from the pages of history in Fayette County.
Benner said it is a sturdy structure. *The building started as the Melvin Hotel in August of 1908, later became the Imperial Hotel which burned in a block fire on Dec. 30, 1911. Within a few days of the fire, the owners contracted for the reconstruction of the block. Within two to three years, the buildings that were destroyed were rebuilt bigger and better.*

Belgium: Haacht brewery announces job cuts
|
Brewery Haacht’s announcement of job cuts has not come as a surprise to unions ACV and ABVV, The Brussels Times reported on November 21.
The Flemish company from Boortmeerbeek revealed on November 19 that it will cut twenty jobs, including eleven office positions and nine labour roles. Among the labour positions, one job is from a worker who is retiring and will not be replaced.
Six of the twenty job cuts will affect the transport department, specifically drivers of tractors and trailers. The remaining positions are spread across nearly all departments. However, new jobs will also be created, resulting in a net loss of around 14 to 15 positions.
Union representatives, Femke Buys from ACV and Pieter Van Der Elst from ABVV, were not shocked by the announcement. "We knew this would happen," said Van Der Elst. "The brewery has been struggling financially for years."
There is uncertainty about whether this round of layoffs will be sufficient to restore profitability. "We hope these will be the last job cuts," Buys added. "But the beer market is under pressure, and the outlook remains bleak. However, the management has assured us that shareholders still have confidence in the company, which is somewhat reassuring."

Spain & UK: Suntory to move bottling of Irish whiskey brands to Scotland and Spain
|
Japanese drinks giant Suntory has decided to move the bottling of three Irish whiskey brands made at its Cooley Distillery offshore, The Drinks Business reported on November 22.
The distillery produces Suntory’s Kilbeggan, Tyrconnell and Connemara Irish whiskey brands, all of which will now be bottled in Scotland and Spain.
According to the Irish Independent, the company informed distillery staff of the change last month, but is yet to finalise plans.
“On October 9, 2024, we announced that the group would plan to relocate bottling activity for Irish brands from Cooley Distillery to other group sites in Spain and Scotland, and a communication was made to employees of a proposal,” newly-filed accounts for the Cooley Distillery confirmed.
“However, at the time of the financial statements’ sign off, the total financial impact cannot be quantified until the consultation process is completed,” the company added.
Last year the distillery saw turnover decline 4.5% to €19.1m. Pre-tax profits dropped 23% to €1.1m over the same 12-month period.
Suntory suspended all shipments of alcohol to Russia in March 2022, a move which hit sales of its Kilbeggan brand, of which Russia was formerly a key market.

Cambodia: Prime Minister halts issuance of licenses for domestic beer production, only allows export
|
Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Manet announced a decision to stop issuing licenses for beer production intended for domestic distribution and permit licensing only for breweries aimed at export, Khmer Times reported.
The premier spoke on Thursday, November 21 at the closing of the Ministry of Mines and Energy’s annual meeting at Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra.
Premier Hun Manet underscored, “Licenses for local beer production have now been suspended.”
“At present, there are seven breweries operating for domestic distribution. If a business intends to export, I will grant approval, but no additional licenses will be issued for local production. I want to clarify this in case anyone is interested in obtaining such licenses.”
The Prime Minister underlined that the Royal Government of Cambodia is committed to guiding and advising the private sector in alignment with market demands, ensuring that new investments respond to actual needs.
In addition to the decision regarding breweries for domestic consumption, the premier added that for other investment projects with limited market demand, the Royal Government will refrain from granting licenses. Instead, it will prioritise strengthening and expanding the capacity of existing businesses to meet current market needs effectively.
