Brewery news USA, WV: Old School Brewing Company opens its doors in White Sulphur Springs
On Thursday, August 21, Old School Brewing Company officially opened to a lively crowd in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia Daily News reported on August 27.

“It was nice to see how much the community really wanted and needed this,” says co-owner, Niko Winstral. “There was a lot of excitement. It was a very uplifting, energetic and vibrant opening.”

The 15,000 sq. ft. facility, formerly Big Draft Brewing, has both an indoor and outdoor stage for live music. “We’re not only a micro-brewery, but we’re also a live entertainment venue and a great restaurant,” Winstral says. “We can fit probably 700 people outside and almost 300 inside. We are looking to host a lot of live music, as well as ticketed events. For bands who are touring through West Virginia and Virginia, we want to be a stop for them,” she adds. “We hope to be the live entertainment hub of White Sulphur Springs and southern West Virginia.”

The first musician to take the stage on opening weekend was Jonah Carden, who wowed the audience on the warm Saturday evening of August 23. “I had the honor of performing at Old School Brewing last Saturday and it was nothing short of magical,” Carden ...More info on site


Brewery news USA, TN: Xul Beer Company taking over two Southern Grist Brewing Co. locations in Nashville
A Knoxville-based brewery is expanding to Nashville, taking over two Southern Grist Brewing Co. locations. Xul Beer Company, known for its PB&J Mixtape sour, announced the move on Instagram on Aug. 26, Yahoo reported.

In early 2025, Southern Grist reflected on its future while Xul Beer Co. was in a rapid growth phase, read the social media post. The momentum led Southern Grist founders to agree that Xul was the "perfect pick" to lead the brand into its next chapter.

"We have been family for years," wrote Xul Beer Co. about Southern Grist Brewing. "We have the same values. We have the same focus on quality. We have the best customers and fans any business could ask for."

"It was meant to be."

By the end of 2025, Xul Beer Co. will be operating both of Southern Grist’s Nashville locations, with Southern Grist staff remaining on board. While the deal is not yet complete, Xul Beer Co. assured that further details are forthcoming.

In an accompanying post, Southern Grist said the Nashville company will "always be part of the story, living on in spirit" as the Knoxville brand takes over current locations.

"At Southern Grist, we've spent nearly a decade pushing boundaries, brewing new ideas, and ...More info on site


Whisky news Canada, ON: Diageo to shut one of its whisky bottling plants in Ontario
Diageo will shut one of its Crown Royal whisky bottling facilities in Ontario, Canada by February 2026, as part of efforts to improve North American supply chain, the world's largest spirits maker said on August 28.

The London-based company said its strategy is to shift some of its bottling volume closer to U.S. customers.

Diageo did not specify how many jobs will be lost, but said it will support impacted employees and work closely with labour unions.

The Amherstburg, Ontario plant bottled Diageo's Crown Royal Canadian whisky; the operations will be shifted to its Valleyfield, Quebec facility.

The maker of Johnnie Walker whisky and Smirnoff vodka reported a smaller-than-expected fall in annual profit in early August, soothing investor concerns in tough market conditions.

Brewery news Japan: Orion Breweries plans IPO on Tokyo stock exchange
Japan’s fifth-largest beer brewery, headquartered in Tomigusuku, Okinawa Prefecture, announces preparations for an initial public offering (IPO) on the Tokyo stock exchange this September, Asia Brewers Network reported on August 22.

Okinawa-based beer maker Orion Breweries is preparing for an initial public offering (IPO) in Tokyo as early as next month, according to a Reuters report.

The flotation would mark a significant exit for private equity giants Carlyle Group and Nomura Holdings, who jointly acquired Japan’s fifth-largest brewer in 2019 for approximately JPY57 billion (US$386 million).

A successful debut would provide much-needed momentum to Japan’s sluggish IPO market, which has seen limited activity since JX Advanced Metals’ listing in March.

Nomura Securities, SMBC Nikko Securities and Mizuho Financial Group have been appointed as lead underwriters.

The company is expected to announce listing details and offering size in the next few weeks, according to the report, though exact timing remains dependent on market conditions.

The planned IPO comes at a challenging time for Japan’s beer industry, which has faced persistent headwinds from changing consumer preferences and economic pressures.

Major brewers reported a 4% year-on-year decline in shipment volumes for June, as inflation-weary consumers increasingly opt for cheaper alternatives, including low-malt beer and canned cocktails.

Despite broader sector challenges, Orion’s ...More info on site


Brewery news Germany: Historic Lang-Bräu brewery to close after 172 years in business
The historic Lang-Bräu brewery in northern Bavaria, Germany, is closing its doors after 172 years in business. The family-owned brewery, located less than half an hour from the former East German border, has survived two world wars and the fall of the Iron Curtain. Now, it faces closure due to mounting financial pressures and changing consumer habits among younger generations, Vinetur reported on August 29.

Lang-Bräu’s owners made the decision last summer to cease operations. The brewery needed an investment of 12 million euros to modernize its equipment, a sum that proved unattainable for the small company. Richard Hope, director of the family business and now overseeing the shutdown process, explained that breweries can withstand many challenges, but when sales drop and costs keep rising, there is no room left for long-term planning.

Lang-Bräu’s situation is not unique. Across Germany, hundreds of breweries are under similar pressure. Inflation and rising energy prices have driven up operating costs. At the same time, beer consumption in Germany has been falling steadily. According to official statistics, per capita beer consumption dropped from 126 liters in 2000 to just 88 liters in 2025. In the first half of this year, beer production fell by 6.3 percent ...More info on site
