These guys have a great sense of humour. The soon-to-be opened Lincoln’s Beard Brewing Company from Miami, Florida, at the end of December 2015 made an offer for the world’s major brewer. They did not stint. They offered the grand total of USD 26,000 dollars. Incidentally, they have not had a reply from AB-InBev yet. We wonder why?

Tut, tut. Was Jasper Cuppaidge, founder of Camden Town craft brewery, so hard up that he had to take a loan from his company before its sale to AB-InBev, UK media huffed and puffed in early January 2016.

It was only a matter of time. Due to the decline in beer sales, MillerCoors, the joint venture between Molson Coors and SABMiller, decided to close down one of its eight U.S. breweries. The decision was made public in September 2015 and will affect the Eden brewery in North Carolina, which has 520 employees. It is to shut in September 2016.

It is of great importance to every brewery to be able to guarantee that the flavor of its beer will remain stable until at least the best before date printed on the label. Therefore, dependable and economical methods are in demand among brewers wishing to predict the flavor stability of their packaged beers. Brewers must determine in advance which analysis methods will be most useful for detecting the sensorially perceptible characteristics of beer indicative of aging. Part one examines how well flavor stability can be predicted, while the second part discusses the practicability of selected methods.

Have you ever wondered about those self-anointed restaurant critics, who leave such idiotic verdicts on TripAdvisor like “nice food, shame about the price of beer”? Goodness me, why didn’t they go to McDonald’s and ask for tap water if they thought the price of beer too high? In fact, the complaints were mostly lodged against eating places in the UK, which means those misers have seen nothing yet. They have not been to Israel.

Given that Belgian beer consumption has dropped almost a quarter over the past twenty years to 72 litres per capita while one in three breweries shut its doors over the past seventy years, an American delegate at the recent Beer Bloggers Conference in Brussels could be forgiven for asking pointedly: “Are we supposed to be shocked or relieved by these numbers?” He got no reply. Which is no surprise as Belgium’s 160 brewers are so used to facing strong headwinds both domestically and in their export markets that “resilience” must be their middle name.

That’s it. Bye bye SABMiller. Today, on 13 October 2015, it was announced that SABMiller has agreed to sell itself to AB-InBev for USD 104 billion, in a deal that will be the biggest takeover of a UK-listed company in history.
