Thirsty Dog outgrowing its brewery; may move out of Akron. A Resource Site For The Beer Industry. Seven steps of brand building by Tom McCormick Successful beer brands require a balance of 'push' and 'pull' in the marketplace.
Push is the term used for getting the brand placed on the retail shelf. This involves the many complexities of distribution and distributor management (see Distribution 101). But once the product is placed on the shelf, it must sell - or 'pull'. Brand building is creating pull for your brand. The following are seven basic brand building steps to consider in the sales and marketing campaign of your beer brand. 1) Identify your consumer We all have a pretty good idea of the demographics of the craft beer consumer. 2) Brand message You must have a clear, concise and genuine message.
Sierra Nevada: Quality, originality, consistently. Headstrong: We won’t get fooled again! « THE BREWPOD. I knew that learning how to handle brewpoding at a beer festival was going to be a challenge, and I picked a mother to try first.
The Headstrong Festival was held at Fatheads on March 22 (there were 2 more sessions on the 23rd). No beers here were under 8% abv. I was slurring by the time I could do any interviews.

The retail landscape: Competitive but opportunities exist by Tom McCormick As in the distribution tier, retailers continue to consolidate, but opportunities exist for small brewers who are in tune to the evolving needs of the retailer and consumer.
At the annual Brewers Association of America conference held earlier this month in Seattle, various speakers discussed retail trends and suggested ways that specialty beers can penetrate the highly competitive retail environment. There is no doubt the big grocery retailers are getting bigger. A Resource Site For The Beer Industry. Distribution: No surprise, it ain't getting better by Tom McCormick Distribution and access to market has been a consistent theme over the past five years at the annual conference of the Brewers Association of America.
The message hasn't changed much - it's going to get worse before it gets better. There are a few positive signs emerging, as pointed out in a talk by Marc Sorini, legal counsel for the BAA, but most of the forward progress was in wine and spirits - not beer. George J. Renner Brewing Co., Akron, Ohio. From the new book, "Brewing Beer In The Buckeye State, Volume I" by Dr.
Robert A. Musson. The origin of eastern Ohio's longest-lasting brewery had remained a mystery to this author until recently, when new information was uncovered. In Brewing Beer In The Rubber City, I stated that this brewery had been established around 1862, but it now appears that brewing operations began at the site somewhat earlier. The tract of land on which the brewery sits was purchased in August 1848 for $50 by 45-year old George Harmann (also spelled Herman) and 38-year old John Brodt, two German immigrants. The site was also on the south side of what was later known as Forge Street, a road that led from Akron to an area known as the "Old Forge" in the nearby Little Cuyahoga River Valley.
Harmann and Brodt continued to operate the brewery until August 1855, when they sold it to George Kempel, a German native who had come to the U. Just one year later, in August 1880, a second fire struck the plant. Ernest C. Market Segments. The craft beer industry is defined by four distinct markets: brewpubs, microbreweries, regional craft breweries, and contract brewing companies.
Microbrewery: A brewery that produces less than 15,000 barrels (17,600 hectoliters) of beer per year with 75% or more of its beer sold off-site. Microbreweries sell to the public by one or more of the following methods: the traditional three-tier system (brewer to wholesaler to retailer to consumer); the two-tier system (brewer acting as wholesaler to retailer to consumer); and, directly to the consumer through carryouts and/or on-site tap-room or restaurant sales. Brewpub: A restaurant-brewery that sells 25% or more of its beer on site. The beer is brewed primarily for sale in the restaurant and bar. The beer is often dispensed directly from the brewery's storage tanks. Working at Boston Beer Company Pay, Salary & Job Reviews. Working at Boston Beer Company: The Sam Adams Experience The entire story you are about to read is 100% true.
I still feel like I'm in the twilight zone, or hoping Peter Funt hops out of the woodwork for Candid Camera. After 5 interviews, spanning over 2 months with The Boston Beer Company (Samuel Adams) for an Account Manager position, I recently finished my final interview with the VP ****. We'll just call him ***. Before my final interview, however, I interviewed with area managers, district managers and regional managers. After my first interview in Phoenix, which was arranged by referral of a 5-year employee to Boston Beer and college friend of mine, I received high praise as feedback. Over my next couple interviews, I remained professional, charismatic and competent, with the knowledge of knowing when to ask the right questions and when to show my proven potential. This brings me to my most recent interview, the grand finale in the interviewing process. Study Finds Craft Beer Key to Restaurant Success.

BT - A "Cooler" Way to Ease into All-Grain Brewing. A "Cooler" Way to Ease intoAll-Grain Brewing by By John Palmer, column editor Republished from BrewingTechniques' September 1997 issue. The transition from extract to all-grain brewing doesn't have to be complicated. Here's how you can convert a common picnic cooler into an all-grain mash/lauter tun -- it's no sweat.
This column can be tough; in a magazine that strives to provide the best content and scope for both home and professional brewers, a "basics column" is a bit of a contextual anachronism. Topics such as hops and yeast are regularly covered in-depth, making it difficult to present new perspectives. Former Foster's brewer damns bland beers of the mainstream. Converted: Trevor O'Hoy pulling beer during his Foster's days. Photo: Louie Douvis It is a bit like your fortune teller grabbing you aside one day and telling you her tarot card readings were all made up, or your lifelong family doctor admitting on his retirement that herbal medicine and a few acupuncture needles in your back was actually a better bet.
But here is Trevor O'Hoy, former boss of Australia's biggest brewer, Foster's, and a 33-year servant of the company doing just that, pronouncing the unthinkable: that mainstream beers are simply bland and inoffensive. ''The majors produce deliberately quite bland products that are inoffensive, while craft brewers have spotted a gap and are providing these smaller-run, more exciting products,'' said Mr O'Hoy, who resigned as Foster's chief executive in 2008 after a costly acquisition strategy that included the $3.7 billion purchase of winemaker Southcorp. An Easy Way to Estimate How Many Calories Are In Craft Beer – Beer of Tomorrow. For years people have feared the effects of beer on their waist-line, and this fear even lead to the creation of one of beer’s most sinister abominations: the American Light Lager.
But the fight against the beer belly can be best fought with knowledge, and knowing how many calories are in the craft beer you drink is the first step in winning that battle! The issue of the caloric content of beer is a tricky one, and I’m amazed at just how much resistance there is to even discussing the issue. Mug Ale back after 50 years - First.
