Brewery news USA, MN: Utepils Brewing Company working hard to open by late summer
Residents of North Minneapolis in the Bryn Mawr, Harrison and surrounding neighborhoods are now seeing the transformation of the former Glenwood-Inglewood bottling plant into Utepils Brewing Company, Brewbound.com reported.

Plans for the European-inspired craft brewery were approved by the City of Minneapolis in early April. Construction crews will be working hard throughout the summer to get the equipment installed and taproom ready to open by late summer.

Upon completion of construction, Utepils Brewing will feature a first of its kind Bavarian-style brewhouse from German equipment company Esau & Hueber, and a 150+ seat taproom. Phase two will include a large outdoor patio area bordering Bassett Creek.

The word “utepils” is Norwegian for the first beer enjoyed outdoors in the sunshine after a long, dark winter. “Ute” means outside and “pils” means beer.


Brewery news USA, CA: FiftyFifty Brewing Company on the cusp of opening doors to second facility
Back in 2005, Andy and Alicia Barr, living in Roseville and working as engineers for Hewlett-Packard at the time, decided they needed a change of scenery in more ways than one, Sierra Sun reported on April 27.

“We kind of woke up one day and said we want to do something that inspires us more,” said Andy Barr.

While brainstorming ideas for what direction to pivot, the Barrs eventually landed on a new place to live (Truckee) and a new industry to tap into (craft brewing).

“We had done home-brewing and we knew we loved Truckee, because we had been coming up here for years for skiing and enjoying the awesome summers,” Barr said. “We wanted to do something that had direct engagement with an end user, instead of working for a company.”

Thirsty to live in a mountain town and open a brewery, the Barrs quit their company jobs, uprooted from Roseville and planted roughly 80 miles northeast in Truckee that same year, 2005.

After roughly a year and a half of planning, in May of 2007, their change of scenery came into full view when they opened the doors to their very own brewery within The Rock commercial center — FiftyFifty Brewing Company.

Brewery news USA, OH: Lock 27 Brewing to launch second brewery in downtown Dayton
Lock 27 Brewing in Centerville will open a second brewery and a pub-restaurant overlooking Fifth Third Field’s main plaza in downtown Dayton, brewery founder Steve Barnhart announced on April 28.

The brewery owner said he has reached an agreement with Columbus-based Crawford Hoying and its partner in the fast-growing Water Street development, Woodard Development, to occupy two floors of the “Delco Building” at 329 E. First St., which is undergoing renovations adjacent to the baseball park.

The new brewery and 130-seat pub are projected to open in April 2017, which will coincide with the projected residential occupancy of the Delco Loft’s 132 apartment units as well as the start of the Dayton Dragons’ season next year, Barnhart said.

Lock 27 joins a growing list of early-stage and completed development in the area. Marriott has awarded a 115-room Fairfield Inn and Suites franchise to the Water Street development, with plans calling for a seven-story hotel that would complement an existing 50,000-square-foot office and retail building that also is scheduled to house a Basil’s on Market restaurant. Other projects call for construction of an estimated 300 apartment units as well as dozens of condominiums in the area that is just east-northeast of downtown Dayton’s central ...More info on site


Brewery news Canada, BC: The town of Chilliwack open to hosting Molson Coors new brewery planned in British Columbia
Chilliwack, BC is currently home to one successful craft brewery currently getting settled in a new location, with another one set to open next month, Chilliwack Times reported on April 28.

But could the city one day be the western home of Molson Canadian?

Rumours have swirled for weeks about a possible location for Molson Coors new brewery, one specifically focused on the Agricultural Food Processing land at Kerr Avenue and Yale Road West.

But no deal is done, although communities are rolling out the welcome mat and the brewery is looking for a home.

“When Molson announced they would be seeking a new brewery location in B.C., we connected and invited them to consider Chilliwack,” Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation (CEPCO) president Brian Coombes confirmed to the Times.

The City of Abbotsford went further, finding three potential sites for the brewery, but a city report said the beer giant is eying properties elsewhere in the Lower Mainland.

According to a report to the City of Abbotsford’s committee for business innovation, growth and attraction, Molson was pitched three local sites. The report notes, however, that the company is “under negotiations with a couple of properties, none of which are located in Abbotsford but are in the Lower ...More info on site


Brewery news USA, VA: Hardywood Park Craft Brewery starts plans to open new brewery in Charlottesville
Hardywood Park Craft Brewery is expanding once again, Brewbound reported on April 28.

The Richmond, Virginia-based brewery on April 27 shared plans to open a new brewery and taproom in Charlottesville later this year. The announcement comes less than one year after the company said it would build a new $28 million production campus alongside Virginia’s Tuckahoe Creek.

Located on the ground-floor of a privately-owned student housing complex for the University of Virginia, the new location will feature a 3.5 barrel brewing system and 1,100 sq. ft. of retail space that will include a taproom and outdoor beer garden.

In a press statement, brewmaster and co-founder Patrick Murtaugh described the venture as a way for Hardywood Park to expand its experimental brewing program.

“The brewhouse is 5 times the size of our current pilot system and will give us the opportunity to pursue more collaborative brewing efforts and to experiment with innovative recipes in a dedicated facility, while gathering meaningful feedback on these new concepts,” he said.

The taproom will feature 12 Hardywood Park draft lines, and the company plans to place particular focus on R&D batches brewed in house. Additional taps will also be devoted to locally produced coffees and kombuchas.

Brewery news Germany: Creative craft brewers facing off against a medieval purity law
Brewing beer is a sacred thing in Germany. And there are rules one must follow. One hugely popular tradition is the Reinheitsgebot, the “beer purity law” that says which ingredients are allowed. This past weekend it turned a sprightly 500 years old — the world’s longest-ruling food law, the German Brewers’ Federation says.

It’s such a big deal that even busy Chancellor Angela Merkel made sure to visit the Bavarian city of Ingolstadt to be seen raising a beer stein for the law’s anniversary, PRI reported on April 27.

But while Merkel and some beer lovers may cherish German purity, the old rules are becoming quite a buzzkill for upstart brewers trying to inject a dose of creative flavor. Some craft beer makers, in effect, are losing the right to call their brews beer at all.

It started with a 1516 decree by Bavarian Duke Wilhelm IV. The Reinheitsgebot mandated that beer could only contain water, barley and hops. A later tweak to the law added yeast to the list.

By keeping impurities and additives out, brewers here credit the Reinheitsgebot with the excellent reputation German beer enjoys at home and abroad. Even non-German brewers find much to admire in this medieval statute.

"There's been ...More info on site


Brewery news Australia: Lion purchases craft brewer Bay Brewing Co.
Australia’s Lion, itself owned by Japan’s Kirin Holdings, has announced it's purchasing the Byron Bay Brewing Co, including its range of beers, brewery and hospitality operation, Australian Hospitality Magazine reported on April 29.

Lion has a growing portfolio of craft beers, including Little Creatures, James Squire, White Rabbit, Kosciusko and Knappstein.

Gordon Treanor, craft marketing director at Lion, said “When we were approached by Byron Bay Brewing Co we saw an opportunity to invest in a great local brewery, hospitality operation and craft beer portfolio, with a view to building the business locally and, possibly, in time, sharing these great beers with more people across the country.”

Barry Schadel, owner of Byron Bay Brewing Co, said he feels Lion shares his vision for the company.

“My number one priority was finding a buyer who would continue to invest in the brewery, beers and venue and take the business from strength to strength. Lion has a strong track record of doing this with other craft beers and I know I am leaving Byron Bay Brewing Co in good hands.”

Lion plans to invest in both the brewery and the venue, which includes a bar and restaurant, including a potential refurbishment following the completion of the purchase.


Barley news UK: Combined wheat and barley exports hit highest monthly level since November 2011 in February
Combined UK wheat and barley exports hit the highest monthly level since November 2011 in February, aided partially by currency movements, FarmingUK reported on April 29.

Nevertheless, uncertainty around future exchange rates combined with factors such as the price carry and UK price competitiveness will have a bearing on the level of grain stocks the UK will carry into next season.

It is no secret that this season the UK has a large wheat and barley surplus for either export or to carry over into next season.

The latest supply and demand forecasts estimate the combined surplus of wheat and barley in the UK at 6.8 mln tonnes.

So far this season (Jul-Feb) the UK has exported 2.85 mln tonnes of the grains, leaving 4 mln tonnes (or 60% of the surplus) to either export from March-June or carry over into next season.

Since the end of December and moving into 2016, sterling has weakened considerably against a number of currencies, including the euro and the US dollar.

This has aided UK cereals price competitiveness and helped boost exports over the past few months.

Furthermore, in February, combined wheat and barley exports totalled 512.5 thousand tonnes, the highest combined level since November 2011.


Barley news Ukraine: Ukrainian barley exports amount to 75.9 thousand tonnes in March
Barley exports from Ukraine amounted to 75.9 thousand tonnes in March 2016, which was much less than in March 2015 (206.8 thousand tonnes) but more than in the previous month (24 thousand tonnes), UkrAgroConsult reported.

Since the beginning of the season Ukraine exported 4.5% less barley than in the same period of last season (4040.4 thousand tonnes compared to 4232.4 thousand tonnes in July-March 2014/15 MY).

Saudi Arabia, the main barley market of Ukraine, had 55% of the total export volume this season against 63% in 2014/15 MY.

During the current marketing year, Ukraine has consolidated its position in the markets of China, Libya, Algeria, doubling the supply to these countries. Moreover, Ukraine has already exported 200% more barley to the EU countries than last season (about 200 thousand tonnes against 62.5 thousand tonnes).

Despite the consistently high demand for Ukrainian barley by Saudi Arabia, Ukrainian exporters have diversified markets outlet in the current season.


Brewery news Vietnam: Craft beer arrived in Vietnam not long ago but is quickly gaining more and more popularity
Craft beer arrived in Vietnam not long ago but has quickly gained popularity here, especially among office workers. It is obvious that the trend is here to stay as it has become an exciting part of the new Vietnamese urban culture, Thanh Nien Daily reported on April 27.

According to market research by digital advertising companies in America, “craft beer” has been one of hottest search topics on the Internet since 2009. Many people have come to love it, but some market analysts were sceptical, saying the beer might not be able to have a long-term success.

Breweries making craft beer have popped up everywhere, originally in Europe, then America and now starting to spread in Asia. Yet the breweries are still operating more like partners than competitors.

Craft beer is a clever combination between traditional ingredients and creative brewing techniques, in which some might find a resemblance to wine production. Each brewery usually comes up with a unique special taste created by their own brewmasters, who help make sure that every brewpub can offer something surprising and delightful.

The definition of craft beer as a product of creativity and flexibility also allows brewpubs to update their beer lists regularly, adding or changing the ...More info on site


Brewery news UK: Carlsberg UK launching premium beer brewed in Sweden
Carlsberg UK is to launch a premium beer and craft cider exclusively in the on-trade this spring, available on draught in bars and pubs, Bar Magazine reported on April 27.

Available from May 2, they are Shed Head, a 4.6% ABV American-style pale ale, and Bad Apple, a 5.1% ABV cider from Herefordshire – the first craft cider in Carlsberg UK’s portfolio.

Shed Head is dry hopped using Cascade and Citra hops, brewed in Falkenberg, Sweden and imported to the UK. The beer is balanced perfectly with bitterness and tropical fruit aromas to provide refreshment and deliver on flavour.

It joins Carlsberg UK’s popular Backyard Brewery range, alongside Lawn Mower and Bee 17, which have both been available in 330ml can format in the UK since 2014.

David Scott, marketing director at Carlsberg UK said: “As the craft beer revolution goes from strength-to-strength, we are delighted to introduce Shed Head, a new premium craft beer packed full of flavour that we know beer-drinkers will love.”

Citing CGA Strategy figures, he added: “Pale ales are one of the fastest-growing styles of beer, representing almost one in three craft beer sales so now is the perfect time to launch Shed Head to the on-trade, supported by an ...More info on site
