Brewery news Canada, BC: Craft brewers face rising exchange tax
In 1981, John Mitchell was granted the first craft brewery licence in Canada. A year later, he opened Horseshoe Bay Brewing and started a cottage industry that became a revolution, MSN reported on March 10.

Forty years later, B.C. has 240 craft breweries, holds a 30-per-cent market share of B.C.’s total beer sales, and employs over 4,500 people across the province.

Now brewers are on the hook for a 6.3-per-cent increase to the federal excise tax, a tariff that is tied to inflation. The excise tax rate is adjusted annually based on fluctuations in the Consumer Price Index, a model that has been in place since 2017.

After hovering at around one to 1.5 per cent for the last few years, this year’s increase will hit craft brewers hard, says Ken Beattie, executive-director of B.C. Craft Brewers Guild.

“The majority of craft brewery businesses in B.C. are small producers, independently owned and operated,” said Beattie. “The money that is collected by them stays in the province, in the community, and creates jobs locally. We should look after these small breweries.”

Federal excise taxes are a production tax that applies to beer, wine and spirits, as well as cannabis, with different rates for different products. The ...More info on site


Brewery news USA, IL: Guinness slated to open a brewery and tap room in Chicago sometime this summer
While Guinness has had its sights set on Chicago for a while now, the legendary beer company made it official on Friday, March 10, NBC Chicago reported.

Guinness is slated to open a tap room and brewery in the city's Fulton Market neighborhood sometime this summer, the company said in a fitting announcement with St. Patrick's Day just days away. Located at 901 W. Kinzie St., the Guinness Open Gate Brewery will be housed inside a former railroad depot, which the company is currently renovating.

Twelve to 16 rotating beers will be offered at any given time, like the iconic Guinness Draught Stout and other beers imported from the Guinness brewery in Dublin. Experimental brews unique to Chicago will also be on tap, too.

The taproom will bring the "style of each of Chicago's 77 unique neighborhoods to life" within its walls through local collaborations that highlight the city's history and flavors, according to a news release.

Along with plentiful beer options and local artwork, you'll also be able to sit down and enjoy a meal.

The brewery will include a full-service restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating and classic Irish dishes, including brown bread as well as Beef and Guinness stew. Guinness says ...More info on site


Brewery news USA, VA: Blindhouse Beer Co. eyeing late spring opening in Roanoke
Tyler Wert brings a beer brewer’s certificate, job experience at a Richmond brewery, a passion for wild yeast and a beer-themed last name to the challenge of creating Roanoke’s next craft beer venue, the Roanoke Times reported on March 12.

The former head brewer at Triple Crossing Beer in Richmond, Wert, along with his wife, Nicole Davidson-Wert, say they’ll open Blindhouse Beer Co. in late spring. They’ve rented a building a fraction of a mile from A Few Old Goats Brewing, Big Lick Brewing, Golden Cactus Brewing and Twisted Track Brewpub.

Blindhouse, located at 534 Salem Ave. S.W., will be the fifth brand in what some people describe as downtown Roanoke’s “beer alley.”

“It’s going to be a quaint, little, Euro-style cafe vibe,” Wert said.

It is not lost on Wert that his name is pronounced identically as wort, the unfermented malt extract that is the foundation of beer. That brewing step, however, he performs at a Winston-Salem, North Carolina, brewery, Lesser-Known Beer Co. He trucks the wort to his production room for the remaining steps to create beer.

Blindhouse will serve a lineup of farmhouse-style beers on tap and in bottles and kegs.

Brewery news USA, MI: Sale of Mackinaw Brewing Company closes on March 10
The sale of Mackinaw Brewing Company in downtown Traverse City closed on March 10, according to Realtor Jack Lane.

The business and building at 161 E. Front St. was purchased for $3.2 million by 161 E. Front Street TC LLC. The group includes North Peak Brewing Company co-owner Jon Carlson, according to Lane.

An email and a phone message to Carlson were not returned on Friday.

Mackinaw Brewing Company launched in 1997. Rod and Lisa Langbo bought the business in 2002.

The Langbos listed the business and building for sale in April 2022. Mackinaw Brewing had its last business day on Dec. 30, according to Facebook posts.

"That was the original brew pub in Traverse City," Lane said. "(The Langbos) would like to convey to Traverse City thanks for all the support through the years."

The property is a 122-year-old, three-story, 12,480-square-foot structure, Lane told the Record-Eagle for an April 13, 2022 article. The original list price was $4.95 million.

The Langbos were looking to step away from running the business, Rod Langbo said in April.

"We're ready to retire," Rod Langbo said in April. "... we've been at Mackinaw for 22 years. We want to travel."

"They're great operators," Lane said of the Langbos. "They'd love to sit ...More info on site


Brewery news Canada, AB: Edmonton brewpub Situation Brewing shuts down for good
After almost seven years in business, Edmonton brewpub Situation Brewing has shut down brewing operations and sold off its brewhouse, the Canadian Beer News reported on March 13.

Owner Wayne Sheridan told prairie beer blog On Beer that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was too much for the company to bear, forcing it “out of the beer making biz” last month.

When it opened in 2016, Situation sold beer exclusively on draught with growler fills as the only take-away option. That remained the case until cans were introduced early in the pandemic in order to continue retail sales during the lockdown.

While the brewery is now shuttered, the bar and restaurant side of the business remains in operation for now, and Sheridan is reportedly in negotiation with a potential buyer who may restore the brewhouse and restart brewing on-site.

Brewery news Nigeria: Nigerian Breweries announce worst February sales in 15 years
Nigerian Breweries (NB) has announced its worst February sales in 15 years due to a drop in beer consumption in Nigeria, Legit.ng reported on March 12.

The drop in consumption occurs as the Central Bank of Nigeria drained about 2.1 trillion old naira notes off circulation.

NB products include 33 Export lager beer, Williams dark ale, Turbo Kings dark ale, More lager beer, malt drinks, Maltina Pineapple, Maltina Vanilla, Amstel Malta Ultra, Star Radler Red Fruits, and Desperados.

Speaking on the low sales, Hans Essaadi the Chief Executive Officer of Nigerian Breweries explained that Nigerians have spent hours — often in vain — waiting in ATM queues to withdraw banknotes.

He added: "Nigerian Breweries Plc like many other businesses, depends on cash for about 80% of its retail sales."

"Sales have been hit this quarter, not because people don’t have the appetite to consume, but because there’s no money. For the average man on the street, it’s a disaster.”

To ease the impact on sales, BusinessDay reports that Nigerian Breweries plans to help some of its registered outlets to procure so-called point of sale devices to encourage electronic payments by customers.

Essaadi said: "We believe that with the demographics of this ...More info on site


Brewery news Kenya: Heineken set to introduce new liquor and beer brands in Kenya
Dutch brewer Heineken is set to introduce new liquor and beer brands in Kenya from the Southern Africa market after tying up its acquisition of South Africa-based Distell Group and Namibia Breweries Limited (NBL), the Business Daily reported on March 13.

Completion of the deal opens the door for the new Heineken subsidiary to market in the Kenyan and wider East African region beer brands from the NBL stable, which includes Windhoek, Tafel and King lagers, Camelthorn, Hansa Draught beer, and Strongbow Cider.

Distell is also likely to expand the local offerings of its product portfolio which comprises spirits, wines, cider, whisky, and gin. Heineken is a specialist in premium beer and cider brands.

The tie-up that has now received the final approval from South Africa’s competition authority will see the formation of a new entity called Sunside Acquisitions Limited (Newco) that will be jointly owned by Heineken (65 percent) and Distell (35 percent).

As part of the transactions, Distell will bring its interests in its subsidiaries including Kenya Wine Agencies Limited (Kwal) to Sunside, while Heineken’s distribution businesses in Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, and South Sudan will also be transferred to the subsidiary.

Heineken said last week that the new subsidiary will be focused on ...More info on site


Brewery news Sri Lanka: Beer stocks piling up in warehouses due to decrease in demand
Sri Lanka’s Excise Department said that beer products produced by some liquor companies are piling up in warehouses without being able to be sold due to the decrease in alcohol sales by about 30%, the Sri Lanka Mirror reported on March 12.

As a result, some companies involved in liquor production have been closed for two or three weeks.

Meanwhile, Excise Commissioner General Saman Jayasinghe has told the media that the Excise Department is focusing on increasing the export of locally produced liquor products as local sales have fallen.

The Commissioner also said that the annual export income of Rs.22 billion is expected to be increased to Rs.30-35 billion.

It was said that although the price of ethanol has increased rapidly in the past, the price of ethanol has come down now and that there is a surplus of ethanol in Sri Lanka.

However, the Excise Department said that due to the current economic crisis, there is less motivation to buy alcohol in a background where the prices of all goods in Sri Lanka have increased.

Therefore, the Excise Department has planned several strategies to achieve this year’s revenue target of Rs.214 billion.

Also, they pointed out that there are about 350 vacancies at the department and ...More info on site


Brewery news UK: Alcohol-free Carlsberg 0.0 launching this week in select Tesco stores
Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company (CMBC) is launching alcohol-free Carlsberg 0.0, betterRetailing reported.

Available in a 4x330ml bottle format, Carlsberg 0.0 is launching this week in more than 300 Tesco stores, ahead of a wider rollout planned for later this year.

The supplier said it has “ambitious plans” for the beer’s wider distribution

It contains 63 calories per bottle and tested well among current UK alcohol-free buyers. According to the supplier, 64% expressed intent to purchase the new variety.

The launch comes as alcohol-free lagers have grown 6% in off-trade value sales in the last 12 weeks, compared to the same period last year, according to Nielsen figures.

Sam Johnson, head of marketing – Carlsberg, Core Lager & Cider at CMBC, said: “Carlsberg 0.0 is everything you’d expect from a well-balanced Pilsner, just crafted to contain zero alcohol. The alcohol-free category has seen great growth in the UK in recent years, as consumers seek to moderate their alcohol consumption across a wider range of occasions. The launch gives consumers a new choice for 2023 that is uncompromising on quality, taste and enjoyment.”

The supplier will support the launch with a nationwide outdoor and social media advertising campaign.
