USA: Constellation Brands stock drops on Trump tariff plan
|
Constellation Brands saw its shares fall on Monday, November 25 following President-elect Donald Trump’s announcement of imposing significant tariffs on the United States' main trading partners, which could have substantial implications for the company. Trump, set to take office on January 20, has declared a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico to combat illegal drugs and immigration issues. Furthermore, Trump plans to implement an additional 10% tariff on goods from China, escalating his previous tariff threats, Investing.com reported.
The measures were detailed in Trump's posts on Truth Social and include some of his most concrete statements regarding economic policies since his election victory.
Constellation Brands, known for its imports from Mexico, is particularly vulnerable to these tariffs. Constellation's sales and segment EBIT are heavily reliant on Mexican imports, with year-to-date figures showing 86% of sales and 94% of segment EBIT originating from Mexico. Analysts have suggested that despite potential measures to mitigate the impact, such as cost savings or inventory adjustments, the tariffs could still pose a significant challenge for Constellation.
According to Roth's equity analyst, there are a few possible outcomes for Constellation Brands: the tariffs might not be implemented and could instead be a starting point for negotiations, the

USA, CA: Black Hammer Brewing reports record-breaking growth across all business segments
|
Black Hammer Brewing, San Francisco's innovative craft brewery known for its experimental brews and welcoming taprooms, on November 22 announced record-breaking growth across all business segments, coinciding with a public investment opportunity through SMBX's small business bonds platform.
The brewery reported a 78% projected increase in wholesale revenue for the second half of 2024 compared to 2023, alongside exceptional performance at their Willkommen Beer Garden location. Willkommen achieved its most profitable three-month stretch since February 2020 with consistent profits exceeding 20% through August, September, and October.
"Crafting our two millionth glass of beer this year wasn't just a milestone—it was a celebration of our pure will to not just survive but to thrive in the face of hardship, and our team's persistence and dedication to craft beer quality and innovation," said Jim Furman, co-founder, and brewmaster. "We're now inviting our community to be part of our next chapter through SMBX's Beer Bonds, offering 11.25% interest over 36 months. So far, the response has been good. We are over halfway to our goal."

USA, CT: Tox Brewing Company now open in downtown New London

Tox Brewing Company is now open its downtown New London location. The brewery relocated from Broad Street to 123 Bank Street, Patch reported on November 24.
Tox Brewing, established in 2019, is now in a 14,000-square-foot space that is roughly 10 times larger than their previous home. The new spot opened this past weekend, according to the brewery's Facebook page.
Owners Dayne Laskey and Michael Zaccaro announced they would be making the move earlier this year, stating that the Broad Street spot had never been big enough to meet demand.
The brewing company was started by Laskey and Zaccaro, who are described on the Tox Brewing website as "two lifelong friends from New London County that went to preschool together and have been the best of friends since fifth grade."
The Bank Street location now has a pizza oven and a coffee counter. The pizza service proved very popular when Tox Brewing opened Friday night as they ran out of dough, according to a Facebook post.
The new space has two floors, with operations on the bottom floor and seating upstairs.
All of Tox's beers are named after poisonous plants and animals, a nod to Laskey's job as a professor of toxicology at the University of

South County Brewing Company, which has locations in Fawn Grove and York Township, plans to open a third location in Lancaster City.
This new location would take over a space previously occupied by the Pressroom Restaurant, located in Lancaster's historic Steinman Hardware Building, which closed its doors in June.
“We are thrilled to bring South County to the City of Lancaster and to have the opportunity to revive such a cherished space,” South County CEO Sam Terroso said. “We look forward to creating a new home where both locals and visitors can enjoy great beer paired with a great menu in the center of this incredible city.”
The new location will feature a wide selection of South County’s renowned craft beers and cocktails alongside a full menu of fresh American pub fare specializing in BBQ and artisan pizza.
Besides food and beverage offerings, the venue will host live music and have additional large party seating. The private event space is undergoing a full makeover and bar expansion. In the Spring of 2025, the Steinman Park courtyard will re-open for guests.

Canada: Mix of new and old malting barley genetics on 2025-26 recommended list
|
Next year’s recommended malting barley varieties include old maltster favourites and a few newer names, Manitoba Cooperator reported on November 24.
The Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre revealed its 2025-26 Recommended Barley Varieties List Nov. 21. Five varieties made the cut: AAC Connect, CDC Fraser, CDC Churchill, AAC Synergy and CDC Copeland.
Variety development for malting barley has been slow. Maltsters want to stick with their favourites, while farmers eye the better yields and disease packages of new, less accepted genetics.
The centre’s annual recommendations are based on the strength of a variety’s agronomic traits, malting characteristics and market demand. The guide is designed to help stakeholders meet the domestic and export needs of end users.
“These varieties reflect the strength and stability of Canada’s malting barley production, while also supporting the development of new and innovative options,” wrote Peter Watts, managing director of the centre, in a news release.
Players across the value chain, including growers, processors, exporters and seed companies, were consulted in the centre’s decision process.
AAC Synergy, CDC Copeland and AAC Connect represent trusted standbys both domestically and for export, the centre noted. Newer varieties like CDC Fraser and CDC Churchill are steadily gaining traction with domestic producers and showing potential in

USA: AB InBev unveiled as second sponsor for FIFA Club World Cup
|
Global drinks heavyweight Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) announced on November 25 it has expanded its commercial tie-up with global soccer’s governing body FIFA to cover the revamped 2025 Club World Cup (CWC) competition.
AB InBev – most commonly known as a beer brewing giant – becomes the second commercial partner to sign up for the next edition of the expanded club tournament, which will contain 32 teams (up from seven previously) and will be held across the US in mid-2025.
The brewing firm now becomes the official beer partner of the CWC, through its various brands, having been a sponsor of the national teams’ FIFA World Cup since 1986. Indeed, its World Cup sponsorship deal was last extended in June 2023 (despite significant issues at the Qatar 2022 tournament), in a deal valued by GlobalData Sport as being worth $80 million through 2026.
This deal will involve various assets designed to enhance the fan experience during the tournament, such as AB InBev presenting the 'Player of the Match' award after each game.
In terms of specific AB InBev brands involved, Michelob Ultra and Budweiser will lead the partnership, alongside “local brands in select markets.”

USA, CA: Silva Brewing to close its doors in early December
|
After more than eight years of serving award winning beers, Silva Brewing in Paso Robles is closing its doors in early December, another victim of the economy, CalCoastNews.com reported on November 24.

USA, IN: Triton Brewing Co. to close for good on December 14
|
After 13 years in the Lawrence-Fort Ben area, Triton Brewing Co. will close Dec. 14, the brewery announced in posts on social media.
Among the reasons for closing, Triton cited "supply line changes, a soft labor market, ever-shrinking margins, the attenuation of the craft beer market and increased competition."
Co-founders and owners David Waldman and Jon Lang opened Triton in 2011 at 5764 Wheeler Road in a historic building and former horse farm that was once part of Fort Benjamin Harrison. Triton was an entrant in Indy's brewery boom alongside contemporaries Sun King Brewing (opened 2009), Bier Brewery (2010) and Daredevil Brewing (2011). Over time, Triton developed a following behind year-round beers like the Rail Splitter IPA and Deadeye Stout.
In its closing announcement, Triton invited customers to celebrate at a "see you later" celebration on its last day, Dec. 14.
"Dave and Jon, along with our team, greatly appreciate everyone who has come in over the years," the post read. "We have met so many people and made many new friends whom we will cherish long after our doors close."

UK: British hops, beer under threat because of Government’s ‘tractor tax’
|
British beer is under threat because of the Government’s “tractor tax”, hop farmers have warned.
The British Hop Association (BHA) said Labour’s inheritance tax raid could sound “the death knell” for hop producers, forcing breweries to import the crop from abroad instead, Yahoo Finance reported on November 26.
Hops, which give beers and ales their bitter flavour, are the flower of the common hop plant and have been used by British brewers since the medieval period.
However, there are now just 44 hop-growing farms left in the country and industry representatives have warned that the Government’s 20 per cent inheritance tax on farming assets worth more than £1 million could force many of them out of business.
Mark Andrews, of the BHA, told The Telegraph that the tax raid would “definitely hurt production”.
“Things are a struggle enough as it is,” said the 10th-generation hop and cider apple farmer from Ledbury, Herefordshire.
“A very large tax bill, even though it can be spread over 10 years… I can see hop production diminishing.
“It could be the death knell for British hop growing. Brewers would have to import much more foreign hops.”
The BHA estimates that Britain’s total acreage under hop cultivation has declined by 40 per cent since

Vietnam: Sabeco’s new R&D brewery to foster employee creativity
|
Saigon Beer-Alcohol-Beverage Corporation (Sabeco) last week inaugurated a cutting-edge SABECO Beer Research and Development Centre to help brewers and young engineers attain the best environment for the process of creating quality products, Vietnam Investment Review reported on November 25.
The centre, a fully automated miniature brewery with full production capabilities, is situated at Nguyen Chi Thanh Brewery in Ho Chi Minh City, the birthplace of the Bia Saigon brand in 1875. The facility enables brewing professionals to study and test new recipes and methods before implementing them in 26 breweries across the country.
To promote innovation, reduce dependence on foreign technology, and improve competitiveness, the staff of Saigon Beer-Alcohol-Beverage Corporation (SABECO) has for many years cherished the thought of establishing a research centre to unleash their creativity.
Up to now, if they wanted to test new products, brewers must carry out testing at one of the existing factories, causing various difficulties and costs in the process, while also limiting many young engineers who lack confidence to carry out such testing.
Therefore, with the experience of operating many breweries with the largest production scale in Vietnam, SABECO’s technical and beer production team has mastered technology from design and construction to supervision and operation to introduce

Belgium: “Primitive” beers draw crowds to Brussels brewery
|
Winding between copper vats and oak barrels, a cluster of early-morning visitors filed through a cavernous Brussels building for an up-close peek at craft beers brewed using a centuries-old method - before sampling the result, Enca.com reported on November 22.
Since it was founded in 1900 in Anderlecht, a working-class district of the Belgian capital, Brasserie Cantillon has been turning out so-called primitive "lambic" beers that are steeped in local tradition.
What makes lambics special is they start with a process known as spontaneous fermentation - through exposure to wild yeasts, specifically those native to Belgium's Zenne valley - as opposed to cultivated brewer's yeast.
Aged in wood barrels for months to years, which allows for a secondary fermentation to occur as the beer's sugars convert to carbon dioxide, the result is a distinctive dry beer with a faintly tart aftertaste.
Cantillon's speciality is an even more niche type of beer known as "gueuze" - a blend of lambics from different years and whose fruity varieties include kriek, or cherry in Flemish - that has around 20 brewers in Belgium.
Morello cherry, haskap, elderberry flower: the brewery uses a whole palette of fruity aromas for its gueuze beers, adding them at the secondary fermentation stage.

UK: Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company to cut eight of its cask and three of its keg beer brands by the end of 2024
|
Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company (CMBC) has revealed that it will be cutting eight of its cask and three of its keg beer brands by the end of this year, with the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) dubbing the move “a tragedy”, The Drinks Business reported on November 25.
Citing falling demand, CMBC has announced that it will axe a total of 11 brands by the end of the year.
In cask: Eagle IPA, Banks’s Sunbeam, Banks’s Mild, Ringwood Old Thumper, Ringwood Boondoggle, Marston’s 61 Deep, Marston’s Old Empire, and Jennings Cumberland Ale.
And in keg: Mansfield Dark Smooth, Mansfield Original Bitter, and Bombardier.
The move comes shortly after CMBC confirmed that it would closing Banks’s Brewery “as part of a restructuring of its brewery network” next year, which would also happen to mark the Wolverhampton brewery’s 150th anniversary. Ringwood in Hampshire was closed in January after 45 years in business, with some critics accusing CMBC of “corporate vandalism”.
In the summer, Marston’s sold its 40% stake in CMBC, which included its production of heritage ales, to a Carlsberg subsidiary for a sum of £206m. CMBC has also been a keen proponent of the idea of a ‘fresh ale’ category, which is effectively beer from a
