USA, IN: Klooz Brewz and Public House on track to become Lebanon’s first production brewery
|
Klooz Brewz and Public House is on track to become Lebanon’s first production brewery when it opens at 125 N. Meridian St. in May, the Indianapolis Business Journal reported on November 11.
Founder Patrick Klooz has been homebrewing out of his garage for years. Over time, he’s become a regular participant at local beer festivals. Now, Klooz is working to piece together several former businesses in the first floor of the DeVol Building to open up a 3,600-square-foot brewpub.
“I’m a born-and-raised local, so it was important to me to be a part of the downtown’s revitalization,” Klooz said. “We wanted to open in the historic district. We want to brew what the community wants.”
Getting up and running hasn’t been easy. Many buildings in the Lebanon’s downtown have wooden floors that wouldn’t support the brewery’s planned five-barrel brewhouse system, so finding a good location took time. And Klooz’s original financing for the $650,000 project fell through at the start of the pandemic.
By combining the former Patrick’s Office Supply space with the space now occupied by attorneys Michael Gross and David Truitt, Klooz has found a way to make things work. Though a majority of the 1896 building does have wood floors, a

USA: Tax cut extension ‘imperative’ for craft distillers
|
The deadline for the Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act is looming once again, and with a global pandemic and tariffs to also contend with the stakes have never been higher, The Spirits Business reported on November 13.
The monumental passing of the Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act in 2017 marked the first time the US government reduced taxes for spirits producers of all sizes since the Civil War.
The act, which was announced as part of president Donald Trump’s US$1.4 trillion tax reform bill, equalises federal excise tax (FET) on spirits, wine and beer for the first 100,000 gallons produced annually. Under the legislation, distillers pay US$2.70 per proof gallon for the first 100,000 gallons produced in the calendar year. Previously, distilled spirits were taxed at US$13.50 per proof gallon.
Just weeks before it was due to expire at the end of 2019, the US government agreed to extend the act by another 12 months, a move welcomed by trade groups and distillers in the US. Many trade associations, including the Distilled Spirits Council of the US (Discus), have called for the act to be made permanent.
The call for the extension of the tax cut has been amplified further

USA: Small Brewery Sunday returns for a second year on November 29
|
Small Brewery Sunday will return for a second year on Nov. 29. The national beer holiday, created by the Brewers Association (BA) — the not-for-profit trade association dedicated to small and independent American craft brewers — encourages beer lovers to celebrate on the Sunday after Thanksgiving and support local breweries, brewpubs, and taprooms throughout the holiday season and beyond, Craft Brewing Business reported on November 12.
This year’s holiday is especially significant, given the insecure and uncertain futures of small businesses impacted by the pandemic and by further restrictions in operations.
The premise of the holiday is simple: beer lovers support small and independent craft breweries by visiting or supporting taprooms and brewpubs — businesses that are critical to local communities and economies nationwide. More than two-thirds of Americans live within 10 miles of a brewery, and in 2019 the craft brewing industry contributed $82.9 billion to the U.S. economy, employed more than 580,000 Americans, and provided charitable contributions worth more than $80 million.
Amid the global pandemic and economic crisis, however, many breweries have experienced declining sales — down about 22 percent in the third quarter of 2020, according to a recent survey of Brewers Association members. The survey also

USA, AZ: Browne Label Brewery to become Milpitas’s first local microbrewery
|
Garages and small business empires go hand in hand here in Silicon Valley: eBay, Facebook, HP, Apple, and many other tech companies got their starts in cramped car bedrooms.
So did lifelong Milpitas resident Dan Browne, although his craft is a bit different from tech, The Milpitas Beat reported on November 12.
“Craft beer,” said Browne. “IPAs, ales, lagers — anything you can think of.”
Browne is the founder of Browne Label Brewery, a Milpitas-based microbrewery he founded this past January out of his Milpitas home. He aims to be Milpitas’s first brick and mortar local beermaker.
If the Browne name sounds familiar, it’s another sign of how small the Milpitas family is. Dan is the grandson of former Milpitas mayor Robert E. Browne, who was appointed mayor in 1968 and then again in 1976. The park on Yellowstone Avenue bears Mayor Browne’s name.
“My grandpa is a great man,” Browne said. “Just like he did, we’re helping Milpitas. We’re a brother- and family-run business for everyone.”
Like those of many microbreweries, his products come with zany names and colorful labels to boot. Many of his beers carry a special meaning, including his Delirious and Destroyed IPA and his Dripping with Evil, a dark saison Browne

Japan & Myanmar: Kirin halts payments from beer ventures in Myanmar to military-linked partner
|
Japanese beverage group Kirin Holdings Co said it was halting payments from its beer ventures in Myanmar to local partner Myanmar Economic Holdings Public Company (MEHL), an entity linked to the country’s military, Reuters reported on November 11.
The United Nations has identified the owners of MEHL as members of the Myanmar military, which has been accused by the world body of genocide and other war crimes against the Rohingya Muslim minority.
Myanmar denies genocide, saying its military was carrying out legitimate operations against Rohingya insurgents who attacked police posts.
Amnesty International has called on Kirin and other companies to cut ties with the company.
“This is a suspension, not a postponement,” a Kirin spokesman said on November 11.
In a statement, the company said the decision was taken “in view of a significant lack of visibility regarding the future business environment for our Myanmar joint ventures.”
It made no mention of the accusations against Myanmar’s army.
Calls to MEHL seeking comment were not answered on November 11.
Kirin in June said that it had hired Deloitte Tohmatsu Financial Advisory to investigate its Myanmar operations, where it owns 51% of the joint venture running Myanmar Brewery Limited and Mandalay Brewery Limited.
The company said its latest decision was also

Saudi Arabia: Saudi Arabia to stop running government tenders for barley in a shift toward private deals for import
|
Saudi Arabia, the world’s biggest barley buyer, is poised to stop running government tenders for the grain as the kingdom shifts toward private deals for imports, Bloomberg reported on November 12.
The Riyadh-based Saudi Arabia Grains Organization will stop running the tenders once private companies fully take over the process of importing and selling barley, according to two officials with knowledge of the matter.
The state-run Saudi Press Agency said on November 10 private entities have been assigned the process of importing and selling barley, citing a cabinet statement.
The move is a significant change for a nation whose several grain tenders a year are closely watched by traders for indications of prices and trade flows. In 2016, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman unveiled an economic-transformation program under which businesses will take a more prominent role in the state-denominated economy. Food security is one of the goals of that plan.
Saudi Arabia imports barley to feed its camel, goat and sheep herds, with sales dominated by Ukraine, Russia and the European Union in recent years. SAGO has managed barley purchases for the past four years.
The country will buy 7.3 million tons of barley in the 2020-21 season, the most in three years, according to

South Africa: Beer Association of South Africa welcomes lifting of restrictions on off-consumption trade of alcohol
|
Industry organisation the Beer Association of South Africa (Basa) has welcomed the announcement by President Cyril Ramaphosa on November 11 that the restrictions on the off-consumption trade of alcohol would be lifted with effect from 00:01 on November 12, meaning that outlets will once again be able to trade during all licensed trading hours, the Engineering News reported on November 12.
Over the past seven weeks (since the start of alert level one on September 21), licensed outlets have been allowed to sell alcohol for home consumption on weekdays from 09:00 to 17:00.
According to Basa, this has had a “devastating” impact on small businesses.
As a result of continued lockdown restrictions, 15% of craft breweries have been forced to close down over the past few months, it says.
“Many breweries that have managed to stay open have been forced to retrench staff, resulting in hundreds of job losses across the sector,” Basa says.
It also claims that restrictions have not been successful in stopping off-site alcohol sales over weekends in unlicensed establishments, but rather, that trade in alcohol shifted to the illicit black market.
“The lifting of the restrictions will therefore have a positive impact when it comes to safeguarding jobs and small businesses,
