Welcome to The Beer Post

Started in 1997 by childhood friends Brett VanderKamp and Jason Spaulding, New Holland Brewing Co. evolved from a passion for home brewing with old kegs, thermos coolers, pulleys and platforms and established itself as a Michigan craft beer powerhouse. It owns two restaurants – the Pub on 8th in Holland and the Knickerbocker in downtown Grand Rapids – plus a spirits tasting room in Saugatuck and two brick-and-mortar stores.

Locally-produced wines, beers and spirits are currently on the up-and-up in India’s alcohol industry, with millennial consumers, in particular, preferring these over international brands – but drinks not in the premium or low price categories continue to face a slump that is not expected to pick up any time soon.

Almost half (47%) of alcoholic drinks in the UK feature calorie information on labels, says the Portman Group, as it calls for such labelling to remain voluntary.

Ball Corp (BLL)., one of the world’s largest suppliers of aluminum cans, is sending shockwaves throughout the craft beer world after lifting the minimum number of cans certain producers must order and saying it will raise prices.

Today, Bell’s Brewery founder, Larry Bell announced that he has reached an agreement with Lion, an Australian based brewer, for the sale of Bell’s. Lion acquired Colorado’s New Belgium Brewing in 2019. The move will see the Michigan-based craft brewer come together with New Belgium – aligning two great American craft brewers.

You love your hops, but whether you’re a brewer or craft beer aficionado, ask yourself this: When was the last time you thought about the malt in your beer?

In 1990, George founded the Flying Dog Brewpub in Aspen, Colorado. From that brewpub to a full-fledged Denver brewery (co-founded by George and his long-time friend and partner, Richard McIntyre**) in 1994, and then to their current state-of-the-art brewing facility in Frederick, Maryland, Flying Dog continues to make sense.

When Nikki and Neil met, they came to realise they had some big dreams, Neil wanted to open a Brewery and Nikki wanted to figure out a way to help give back to her community of Upland that she has been a part of for 16 years. They put their heads together and came up with a plan to combine both their passions. After many sleepless nights of figuring out a name and mission that would represent both their passions, they came up with RESCUE BREWING COMPANY. The word Rescue for them represents all the FIRST RESPONDERS that run toward an event rather than away and put their lives on the line for a stranger or animal and they deserve to be recognised.

They brew a wide variety of styles ranging from traditional German styles to innovative modern IPAs, to barrel-aged creations. They use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible and pride themselves on having a beer for every palate. Check out their website on the link below for just a few of their favourites, look for them at their two locations and wherever fine craft beer is sold in Northern California!
