2020 Brewers Association Industry Awards

June 30, 2020 by Dow Scoggins

2020 Brewers Association Industry Awards winnersBoulder, Colorado — The Brewers Association (BA)—the not-for-profit trade association dedicated to small and independent American craft brewers—today announced the recipients of the 2020 Brewers Association Industry Awards. Three members of the brewing community were recognized and awarded for their dedication and service. The Brewers Association has been recognizing individuals who inspire, defend, and innovate within the craft brewing industry since 1987.

2020 Brewers Association Industry Awards recipients were nominated by their peers and determined by vote from committees made up of members of the Brewers Association board of directors or past winners of the innovation award.

“This year’s award recipients have elevated craft brewing to greater levels in business and brewing innovation, and have worked towards fair legislative and regulatory treatment for craft brewers,” said Paul Gatza, senior vice president of professional brewing division, Brewers Association.

2020 Industry Awards Recipients

Brewers Association Recognition Award
Oscar Wong, founder of Highland Brewing Co. (Asheville, N.C.)

This award is presented each year to an individual or company whose inspiration, enthusiasm, and support have contributed to the craft brewing movement. In 1994, Oscar Wong founded Asheville, North Carolina’s first craft brewery, Highland Brewing Co., kicking off a craft beer renaissance that took the city from sleepy mountain town to the craft beer capital of the Southeast. Wong is widely recognized as the “Father of Asheville Craft Beer.” In 2019, the brewery celebrated 25 years of quality craft beer and independent family ownership. This year, the brewery will celebrate Wong’s 80th birthday and his pioneering spirit, which continues to inspire the local brewing community to this day.

“This is over the top. I am so proud and humbled to be in the ranks of this distinguished group of honorees,” said Oscar Wong, founder of Highland Brewing Co. and recipient of the Brewers Association Recognition Award. “It means the world to me that our little brewery from a sleepy mountain town could be recognized for our role in the great American craft beer movement.”

Russell Schehrer Award for Innovation in Craft Brewing
Brendan McGivney, chief operations officer at Odell Brewing Co. (Fort Collins, Colo.)

This award is presented in honor of Wynkoop Brewing Company’s Russell Schehrer to an individual or company for their innovative contributions to the brewing industry. McGivney has worked at Odell Brewing since 1995 and is recognized for aiding the development of new hops, building farmer-brewer relationships, serving as part of the hop quality group, and discovering the innovative process of “fresh grind” hops. A hop pioneer in the craft industry, McGivney is responsible for developing brands such as Odell IPA, Drumroll American Pale Ale, Friek, 5 Barrel Pale Ale, and Rupture. In addition to helping other breweries with his wisdom, McGivney’s work has allowed smaller breweries better access to higher quality hops and new experimental varieties.

F.X. Matt Defense of the Industry Award
Adam DeBower, co-founder and director of operations at Austin Beerworks (Austin, Texas)

This award is named for the late F.X. Matt of F.X. Matt Brewing Co. and is presented to an individual or company for their contributions and efforts in championing the small brewing industry. In 2019, DeBower, along with other Texas brewers and the Texas Craft Brewers Guild, drove a successful effort to allow most manufacturing breweries to sell beer to-go at their taprooms. DeBower currently serves as the chair of the Texas Craft Brewers Guild Legislative Committee and in 2017 founded CraftPAC, a political action committee dedicated to advancing the rights of Texas craft brewers.

In addition to the 2020 Brewers Association Industry Awards for brewers, the Brewers Association also conducts two prestigious national and international brewing competitions – Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup.

City Star Brewing Launches Craft Beer in Cans

June 30, 2020 by Andrew Innes

City Star Brewing Launches Craft Beer in Cans

Berthoud, Colorado– Cans were not in the plans for City Star Brewing in 2020. Whenever asked over the past eight years when the Berthoud brewery’s beer would be available in cans the answer was always similar, “Quality canning is a big investment. It’s not part of our current model, and we’re waiting for the saturated craft beer scene to stabilize.” Then COVID-19 ushered in a demand for to-go beer with the mandatory taproom shutdown, and improved packaging became critical. Launching beer in 25oz aluminum crowlers the first week of the shutdown improved City Star’s ability to satisfy curbside customers. Amazing volunteers, affectionately dubbed “the crowler crew”, spent hours weekly pre-filling crowlers to offer the best quality beer in that particular package. It quickly became apparent pre-filling hundreds of crowlers weekly was inefficient and unsustainable in the long run. The search for the right canning line began.

In May City Star purchased a canning line built by Michigan-based MicroCanner from Grand River Brewing Company in Jackson, Michigan. The MC-Flex canning line fills up to 24 cans per minute, including a 6-head filler, automatic pre-rinse, CO2 purge in the can and under the cap, and post-rinse. Installation and operation at City Star has been smooth, allowing for 4-packs of 16oz cans to roll off the line and sell off the shelves earlier this month.

Cowboy’s Golden Lager and All American IPA are both currently available in 16oz cans, with Bandit Brown, Sim’s Red, and Black is Beautiful launching in cans this Friday, July 3rd. 4-packs are currently only sold through the downtown Berthoud taproom, with no immediate plans to distribute. Cans are a superior packaging option, perfect for camping or summit celebrations. They have a smaller environmental impact than bottles, and most importantly, they limit oxygen and light exposure, ideal for keeping beer fresher and flavorful longer.

As this rollercoaster of a year progresses and concerns of another wave of COVID-19 in Colorado hover, City Star is poised to keep it flowing. The independent small town brewery entered 2020 as a strong, healthy business with incredible community support. The pandemic closed the taproom doors and business declined, but City Star pivoted as needed. “We doubled-down on what we love, making and sharing quality craft beer” – Whitney Way, City Star Co-Owner.

About City Star Brewing
City Star Brewing® offers award-winning, small batch ales and lagers, hand crafted in the heart of downtown Berthoud, Colorado. The small town brewery was awarded Gold and Bronze medals at the world renown, Great American Beer Festival in 2013 and a bronze metal in 2015. City Star first opened its doors in 2012 and has since become a destination for craft beer lovers. The tasting room includes an outdoor beer garden and barrel house that doubles as an event space. City Star offers a selection of approachable beers with regularly rotating specialties. Learn more at citystarbrewing.com.

Triceratops Brewing and ONE Manufacturing Collaborate on New Pilsner

June 30, 2020 by Andrew Innes

Triceratops Brewing and ONE Manufacturing Collaborate on New Pilsner

TUMWATER, Wash. — For the first time in its relatively short history, Triceratops Brewing has teamed up with another independent business in Washington’s south sound region to brew a collaboration beer. ONE Pilsner, which is made with Salmon-Safe malt and hops, is meant to be the beer you reach for after a few hours on the trail, on the water, or on the slopes. It’s the one beer you’ll want in the cooler when your plan for the day is to shred, drink, repeat.

Headquartered in Belfair, Wash., ONE Manufacturing has been a leader in the snowboarding industry since Matt Cummins and Bryan Rushforth started the company in 1986. An occasional snowboarder himself, Triceratops co-owner and head brewer Rob Horn first met Matt and Mike Cummins through a mutual friend, and hit it off with the brothers behind the pioneering shop Northwest Snowboards. As the three got to know each other better, the wheels started turning.

“When we did our first winter waxing party [in 2018], they showed us support by donating snow wax so we wanted to do something for them,” says Horn. “Last year we made a hazy pale ale together, but Matt wanted a low ABV beer people could enjoy without getting hammered. We took the opportunity to really fine tune this Pils.”

ONE Pilsner (4.3% ABV) is a crushable lager that combines 2-row barley malt from Mainstem Malt in Walla Walla, and a spicy, resinous, and floral experimental hop variety from Roy Farms in Moxee. Additions of Citra and Monroe hops also provide some nuanced fruity tones, all adding up to a crisp, clean, epically refreshing beer.

Supplies are limited, but beginning on June 26, ONE Pilsner will be available at select retailers throughout western Washington on draft and in four-packs of 16-ounce cans. It’s also available to-go in four-packs, 32-ounce Crowlers, and 64-ounce growlers at the Triceratops tasting room.

About Triceratops Brewing Company
Founded by Rob and Kelly Horn in 2014, Triceratops Brewing Company evolved from a tiny one barrel garage system to a 10-barrel brewhouse and tasting room in the Tumwater Warehouse District near the Olympia Regional Airport. The company’s range of offerings include Stengel’s Gold Zwickelbier, Mrs. Voorhees Peanut Butter Stout, the award-winning Pennsyltucky Lager, Strawberry Golden Ale, and the popular Liquid Swords series of IPAs. Triceratops currently self distributes to King, Kitsap, Lewis, Pierce, Snohomish, and Thurston counties. Its tasting room is now open seven days a week. For more information, visit website

About ONE Manufacturing
ONE Manufacturing is an innovative lifestyle brand founded in 1986 by longtime professional snowboarder Matt Cummins and friend Bryan Rushforth. The first company to manufacture and sell snowboard wax, its products are tested at Mt. Baker and other Cascadian peaks by some of the best riders on the planet. In 2014 ONE Mfg. entered the biking world with a large offering of bike-specific products, all formulated and manufactured in Belfair. The goal is to create an innovative, functional line of snow, surf, and bike products and accessories that revolve around having fun and living life to the fullest.

Perrin Brewing Company Introduces Call Me Hazy – Tropical IPA

June 30, 2020 by Andrew Innes

Perrin Brewing Company Call Me Hazy - Tropical IPA

Comstock Park, Mich. – Perrin Brewing Company announces the release of Call Me Hazy – Tropical IPA, the next chapter in the Call Me Hazy rotating IPA series. Call Me Hazy – Tropical IPA is now available at the Perrin Pub on draft and in 6-packs of 12 oz. cans, with Michigan-wide distribution coming soon.

Call Me Hazy – Tropical IPA offers fresh, tropical stone fruit aromatics. With hints of coconut, passion fruit, mango and lime, it’s a first-class ticket to a tropical escape. It pairs well with coconut-crusted fish or carnitas tacos; and is best enjoyed poolside, at the beach or wherever your summer adventure takes you.

“It has a light straw color with an opaque body,” said General Manager of Brewing Operations Sheldon King. “There’s sweet pineapple and coconut on the nose, and the flavor is bursting with tropical fruit.”

The 7.5% ABV brew is the second iteration of Perrin’s rotating Call Me Hazy IPA series, which allows Perrin’s brewers to explore the breadth and depth of hop flavor.

Connor Klopcic, Director of Brewing Operations, said the Call Me Hazy IPA Series was inspired when Perrin’s brewers got their hands on an array of premium hops. “We really wanted to showcase the amazing and unique flavors that these three varieties of hops can produce,” said Klopcic. “Instead of blending them in one beer, we wanted to use them individually so they could each stand out.” Call Me Hazy – Tropical follows the release of Call Me Hazy Juicy, and the third installment in the series will be announced later this year.

Bring your own tiny paper umbrella for this paradise punch. Call Me Hazy – Tropical IPA is now available at the Pub and will appear at craft beer retailers across Michigan soon. Please contact Lindsey VanDenBoom at lindsey@perrinbrewing.com with questions.
