Reuben’s Brews Toasts 10 Years of Brewing with a Ballard Block Party on August 6

July 31, 2022 by Dustin Scoggins

Reuben BrewsSEATTLE, Washington – Adam and Grace Robbings didn’t know what to expect when they first rolled up the garage door at 1406 53rd Street NW. The couple had timed the opening of their new brewery with Seattle’s Seafair weekend and planned to offer five beers on tap. Four of which were dark beers. On a hot Saturday. In August. Despite the heat, drinkers flocked to the small industrial space in Ballard and just like that, Reuben’s Brews was on the map.

In the years that followed, the brewery’s growth outpaced the founders’ expectations, and its accomplishments attracted the attention of beer drinkers well beyond the neighborhood. And now, on the heels of winning a gold medal at the 2022 World Beer Cup for its Hazealicious IPA, Reuben’s Brews will celebrate its first decade of business, community, and glass backwards brewing with a day-long block party at its Taproom on Saturday, August 6th.

“Looking back, 2012 feels like both a lifetime ago and just yesterday!” says Adam Robbings. “So much has changed in Ballard and at Reuben’s over the past 10 years and we couldn’t have imagined where we would be at this point in our journey. We have so much gratitude for all of the support we’ve received since our opening weekend and we’re tremendously excited for the next 10 years.”

Reflecting on just how much the Reuben’s Brews story is intertwined with the story of Ballard, the Robbings realized that a block party with live music, food trucks, a kids activity area, and plenty of award-winning beer was the most fitting way to celebrate its anniversary. Because from starting in a garage as homebrewers, to helping lead the way in creating a Ballard Brewery District, to building three breweries in the neighborhood and becoming Washington’s most decorated brewery, Reuben’s has always worn its Ballard pride on its sleeve.

The festivities will begin at 11:00 a.m. with a glassware giveaway and bagels available from Darling & Company. Then at noon, live music starts on the main stage on NW 51st Street. It’s going to be a fun-filled day for all ages on August 6th with highlights that include:

Free 10th anniversary glassware for the first 100 visitors

Bands performing throughout the day, beginning at 12 p.m.

All 10 beers in our 10th anniversary collaboration series

Robust Porter ice cream made by Full Tilt

A kids area with activities and balloons

6 food vendors selling burgers, bbq, tamales, and more

Limited edition 10th anniversary hats, T-shirts, and posters

The release of the final two beers in our collaboration series

“Our anniversary parties are always a fun way to catch up with our friends, neighbors, and industry partners,” says Grace Robbings. “It feels a bit like a family reunion. And this year is going to be that much more special. We’ve been looking forward to this event for months and can’t wait to swap stories, share memories, and raise a toast to Ballard, our favorite neighborhood in the world!”

About Reuben’s Brews

Adam and Grace Robbings opened Reuben’s Brews in 2012, after an award-winning homebrewing career, naming it after their first child, Reuben. At their family brewery they brew from the glass backwards: designing each beer with intention, unbound by constraints. They know that making that extra effort is worth it. From everyday favorites to innovative new releases, they want to share a love of discovery. Reuben’s Brews. Beer Unbound.

The Reuben’s Brews Taproom (5010 14th Ave. NW in Ballard) is open daily 11 a.m. – 10 p.m., featuring an expanded outdoor seating area and To-Go Store. They strictly adhere to all current state and local health precautions to keep their customers and team safe.

Jing-A Brewing Co. Celebrates 10th Anniversary

July 31, 2022 by Dustin Scoggins

Jing-A Brewing CompanyWe’re celebrating 10 years of experimenting with flavours, pushing the boundaries of Chinese craft beer, working with local artists and musicians, and partying with our fans in Beijing and beyond. We’re doing it Jing-A style: telling a Beijing story as old as time (and as young as us), and brewing a bold new beer!

As our name implies, we’re Beijing at heart – this city inspires us and gives us our drive. After a decade living and breathing all things Beijing, we asked ourselves, can we make a truly “Beijing” beer in honour of our 10th anniversary?

A Beer 10 Years in the Making

Our search for an indisputable piece of beer-ingredient worthy “Beijing-ness” started (unsurprisingly) with food… and ended with a 700,000 year old mummified man – an archeological find otherwise known as Peking Man.

“Lao Beijing Neolithic Barleywine” is a celebration of 10 years of Jing-A craft beer, and a tribute to the city that inspires us. A malt-forward Barleywine with notes of pine needle, walnuts and rose, inspired by the diet of the earliest known “Beijinger” – Peking Man.

“Peking Man” refers to the oldest population of humans (Homo erectus) who lived in Beijing 500,000 to 700,000 years ago. The cave site where the fossils and archeological remains were discovered a century ago are a UNESCO World Heritage site.

– Dr. Tom Stidham, Professor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences

Lao Beijing Neolithic Barleywine is only available in 750mL bottles. There are 1000 of them in existence. Each bottles features our 10th anniversary illustration by artist Luke Ramsey – a unique and playful homage to Jing-A’s history, featuring our team, beers and ingredients, community events, and the city of Beijing.

Jing-A Brewing Co.

Founded in 2012, Jing-A is a Beijing-based craft beer company. We’re obsessed with hunting down rare ingredients and unexpected  flavours to brew our beers, ranging from twists on classic styles to curious experiments and inspiring collaborations. “ Our goal is to make beer we’re damn proud of; beer that pushes the envelope, celebrates its roots, and changes perceptions of Chinese brewing worldwide.”

– Kris Li & Alex Acker, Jing-A Brewing Co. Founders

Bell’s Brewery Partners with Meals on Wheels America for 3rd Annual Raise a Wing Event

July 30, 2022 by Dustin Scoggins

Bell's BreweryCOMSTOCK, Michigan – Bell’s Brewery announced that its annual Raise a Wing event has returned for a third year, teaming up with Meals on Wheels America in support of the organization’s urgent mission to empower its local community programs and improve the health and quality of life of seniors, so no one is left hungry or isolated.

The Raise a Wing event will be held on National Chicken Wing Day, on Friday, July 29th, at participating accounts throughout the country, where attendees will be encouraged to participate and donate to Meals on Wheels America. Furthermore, Bell’s will be donating $7,500 directly to Meals on Wheels America. In 2021, Bell’s Brewery raised over $5,000 for Meals on Wheels America and saw participation from over 100 accounts across the country.

“Bell’s Brewery is proud to support an organization like Meals on Wheels America because everyone deserves to have the access and resources to live a healthy life, and seniors are no exception,” said Carrie Yunker, Executive Vice President of Bell’s Brewery. “We are eager to “Raise a Wing” and give back more than ever before this year through Bell’s individual donation and additional contributions from our distributor network, and outstanding customer base.”

Participating bars and restaurants across the country will serve chicken wings and Bell’s craft beer to further drive donations and awareness of the Raise a Wing campaign. This year, approximately 50 bars and restaurants are committed to taking part in this initiative.

“We are thrilled that Bell’s is drawing attention to senior hunger and isolation and asking its distributors and customers to get involved,” said Kristine Templin, Chief Development Officer at Meals on Wheels America. “Meals on Wheels programs across the country are a lifeline for vulnerable seniors, and they simply could not meet their mission in local communities without support from caring companies and individuals.”

America’s senior population exceeds 77 million people. Nearly 10 million are threatened by hunger. Community-based senior nutrition programs like Meals on Wheels deliver more than 223 million nutritious meals annually and provide companionship and safety checks. Supporting these initiatives through donations helps keep Meals on Wheels programs nationwide in action.

ABOUT BELL’S BREWERY

Bell’s Brewery began in 1985 in Kalamazoo, Michigan, with Larry Bell, a quest for better beer and a 15-gallon soup kettle. Since then, Bell’s has grown into one of the largest craft breweries in America, distributing to 43 states, in addition to Puerto Rico and Washington DC. The dedication to brewing flavorful, unfiltered, quality craft beers that started when Larry was a homebrewer continues today with iconic brands such as Oberon Ale and Two Hearted Ale, as well as Light Hearted Ale and Official Hazy IPA.

Bell’s currently brews more than 20 beers for distribution out of its Comstock brewery as well as many small-batch beers that are served at the Eccentric Cafe in Kalamazoo. Over the years, Bell’s has become an industry leader in safety, quality, and human resources, paving the way for the hundreds of craft breweries across Michigan. Bell’s ongoing goal is to brew thoughtful, creative, and artistic ales, and strives to make craft beer welcoming and open to all.

About Meals on Wheels America

Meals on Wheels America is the leadership organization supporting the more than 5,000 community-based programs across the country that are dedicated to addressing senior hunger and isolation. This network serves virtually every community in America and, along with more than two million staff and volunteers, delivers the nutritious meals, friendly visits and safety checks that enable America’s seniors to live nourished lives with independence and dignity. Through funding, leadership, education, research and advocacy, Meals on Wheels America empowers its local member programs to strengthen their communities, one senior at a time.

Temperance Beer Co. Announces ‘Scarce Goods’ 2022 Limited Summer Releases

July 30, 2022 by Dustin Scoggins

Temperance Beer CompanyEVANSTON, Illinois – In September of 2021, Temperance Beer Co. launched Scarce Goods, a new label and concept: brew very small batches, available only at the brewery, in styles not yet undertaken by Temperance. Using a new pilot brew system and channeling their creative thirst, brewers Mike VanCamp and Connor Scanlan put together a list of the first eight beers they wanted to brew for Scarce Goods.

“The first step is designing beers for the season we’ll be releasing them in, and then we look for styles that we haven’t brewed before (or want to try again in a different way) and will be a bit more ‘out there’ than what you might think of as a Temperance beer.” – Head Brewer, Mike VanCamp

The first batches were a trio of fruited sours: Mango Pink Guava (Batch 1), the second Blackberry Fruited Sour, followed by Coconut Lime (Batch 3). Kölsch, Peach Witbier, and Pale Ale were among the rest of the inaugural offerings.

“We’ve been thrilled with the response to Scarce Goods, though we sympathize when customers are upset that a batch they wanted to try—or enjoy more of—is gone. But that’s the reality of these batch sizes. With only around 15 cases and 2 half barrels each time, we’re going to run out quickly.” – Founder, Josh Gilbert

The second round of Scarce Goods arrived this month with Batch 9: Berliner Weiss tapping on July 8th. The following Friday saw Batch 10: Hefeweizen, a refreshing and complex wheat beer with notes of banana, clove, bubble gum, and a hint of citrus. The upcoming batch has, for the first time, a name—Batch 11: Greenwood Peach—and will be released this Friday, July 29, at noon. Two more batches will be released this summer, both fruity saisons.

“Two young women on the brewery tour this month saw the (empty) cans of Greenwood Peach and literally shrieked with delight. Their excitement, that reaction — I couldn’t stop smiling after that.” – Founder, Josh Gilbert

“Though we don’t have all the beers figured out quite yet, we’re stoked for what will be coming this fall and winter.” – Founder, Josh Gilbert

Scarce Goods is available on tap and 16 oz. 4-pack cans, only at the Temperance Beer Co.

About Temperance Beer Co.

As Evanston’s first and oldest brewery, they’ve never wanted to “keep up with the Joneses.” Through its award-winning yet accessible beers and investment in the community, they are creating a whole new neighborhood. The brewery has been featured in numerous media such as TimeOut Chicago, ABC-TV, Zagat, Crain’s Chicago Business, Red Eye, WCIU-TV, WBEZ-FM, the New York Times, WTTW News, and the Chicago Reader, among others. In its first competition, at just over a year old, Temperance took home a Silver Medal from the 2014 Great American Beer Festival® for Gatecrasher®, its English-style IPA. Gatecrasher followed up with GABF gold two years later. Temperance Beers are available throughout the Chicago metropolitan area and Colorado.

About Scarce Goods

Scarce Goods is our new experimental playground where we can feel that recess freedom to try new things, have some fun, skin our knees, hang upside down from the monkey bars, and take some big risks on small, limited, batches. Scarce Goods is only available at Temperance Beer Co.

Ceria Brewing Gets ‘Crafty’ with Spotify

July 30, 2022 by Dustin Scoggins

Ceria BrewingARVADA, Colorado – Ceria Brewing Company, makers of alcohol-free (AF) THC- and CBD-infused craft beers, has launched a “crafty” out-of-home campaign in California with a tagline reading, “Legally This Ad Can’t Say Much. But This Playlist Can,” with an accompanying QR code that will connect consumers directly to a unique Spotify playlist. This clever approach to advertising Ceria’s cannabis-infused products comes fresh on the heels of a major refresh of its brand image.

Since cannabis is federally illegal and thus subject to advertising restrictions in many states, Ceria had to get creative to get the word out about its brand.

The playlist conceals the brand message inside a Spotify track list by compiling song titles that spell out, in part, “Hello, Hello, Hello, we make alcohol-free beer for people who love getting high.” There are 14 songs in all. See the playlist here: tinyurl.com/craftyceria

The song titles include “For People” by Nick Rosen; “Who,” by David Byrne and St. Vincent; and “Love” by Keyshia Cole.

The campaign, developed by Mother Los Angeles, the brand’s creative advertising agency and investor, was announced by Keith Villa, Ph.D., co-founder and head brewmaster of the Denver-area company he started in January 2018 with his wife and co-founder Jodi Villa, Ceria’s Chief Executive Officer. Dr. Villa is the creator and former brewmaster of Blue Moon beer, developed during his 32 years at MillerCoors.

“Ceria drinkers will get the message – once they link the song titles together – that there are other means to enjoy the pleasurable sensations of cannabis besides smoking or ingesting it,” says Dr. Villa. “We believe consumers will appreciate this cheeky suggestion to enjoy a cannabis-infused beer that is totally alcohol-free.”

New Packaging Honors Goddess of Harvest:

In June, Ceria (which rhymes with “area”) announced the launch of a new look for its alcohol-free non-infused and THC/CBD-infused craft beers. Ceria’s refreshed brand identity pays homage to Ceres, the ancient Roman goddess of harvest. The new packaging reveals earthy purple, blue and green tones that are classically inspired, yet have a modern and abstract feel for a universal appeal.

Jackson Savarese Appointed California Sales Representative:

To meet demand in California, Ceria has announced the appointment of Jackson Savarese as state sales representative.

Savarese, formerly hospitality manager and operations associate of MedMen, a chain of retail stores and cultivation facilities, will be responsible for the growth of AF infused Ceria Grainwave and Indiewave craft beers in the state.

About Ceria Brewing Co. 

Ceria Brewing Company is a modern beverage company co-founded by Keith Villa, the brewmaster who created Blue Moon, alongside his wife and Ceria CEO Jodi Villa. Leveraging his deep knowledge of craft brewing and THC, Keith created a new unique brewing method that produces great tasting, full bodied and authentic craft beers that result in 0.00% ABV.

With a thought-provoking new brand identity paying homage to Ceres, the ancient Roman goddess of harvest, Ceria is reinventing the craft category with Grainwave (Belgian-style White ale) and Indiewave (IPA) craft beers, available in both alcohol-free and alcohol-free plus THC/CBD-infused collections. While both collections are alcohol-free at 0.00% ABV, the Grainwave in the THC collection includes 5mg of THC and Indiewave includes 10mg THC and 10mg CBD.

Ceria offers mindful imbibers an elevated, crafty experience in the moments that matter most.

July 29, 2022 by Dustin Scoggins

Atlantucky BrewingATLANTA, Georgia – Atlantucky Brewing is proud to debut its newest beer, “The Bluff,” with 10 percent of the brew’s sales being donated to Future Successors’ work within the downtown Atlanta neighborhood of the same name.

The Bluff beer is a 4.7 percent alcohol-by-volume American lager that will be a permanent addition to the brewery’s current offerings. The beer will be first available during a public fundraising event co-hosted by the brewery and Future Successors on July 23 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at 170 Northside Drive SW Suite 96.

“The Bluff is part of our Atlantucky neighborhood, and we want to support it by partnering with Future Successors since we’re right up the street,” Atlantucky Co-Owner Fish Scales said. “We’ve known the team at Future Successors and have been impressed by their work with the area’s youth, so we thought it would be a natural fit to bring the neighborhood together for a good cause.”

Atlantucky, one of the nation’s few black-owned breweries, is owned by multi-platinum-selling, Southern hip-hop trailblazers Nappy Roots. While on tour throughout the past several years, Nappy Roots has collaborated with dozens of breweries and mass-produced numerous beers across the country. The Grammy Award-nominated group began experimenting at their home brewery, which fermented their passion for microbrewing. The name, “Atlantucky,” celebrates the band’s historical roots of being founded in Kentucky and settling in Atlanta. The brewery took home Bronze in the Cream Stout category in the 2020 U.S. Open Beer Championship.

In 2021, Nappy Roots created a docu-style reality-based television series called “40 Acres & A Brew.” The show follows Nappy Roots and friends on a road trip to craft breweries across the country. The group trades ideas and stories with fellow brewers as the hip-hop legends begin to build their own brewery from the ground up. The show recently won the award for “Best Episodic Short” at the Rome International Film Festival on Nov. 11.

Future Successors, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is devoted to bringing awareness and resources towards elements that defers underprivileged youth to reach their full potential of success.

Ska Brewing Oktoberfest Returns, In July

July 29, 2022 by Dustin Scoggins

Ska BrewingDURANGO, Colorado – Ska Brewing is ready for Oktoberfest early this year— blame it on the early fall colors to be found in the San Juan Mountains that the brewery calls home. This award-winning German-style lager will tap for its fifth season at the brewery World Headquarters on Wednesday, July 27 and hit shelves in 6-packs this week.

Ska’s Oktoberfest was late to the German lager party when they first debuted this beer in 2018, but they quickly made up for lost time in accolades. The first batch of Oktoberfest that came out in a can earned a gold medal at Great American Beer Festival® in the Vienna-style Lager category that year, and has since been honored at the European Beer Star and The Stockholm Beer and Whiskey Festival.

Made with all-European Munich and Vienna malts and classic German lagering techniques, this autumnal amber-brown beauty is nutty, bready, and toasty with a clean, neutral yeast flavor on the finish.

Oktoberfest season begins at Ska Brewing on Wednesday, July 27 where fans can count on this Vienna-style lager to stick around a little longer this year. The 2022 batch is scaled up to allocate more draft and canned 6-packs across Ska’s national markets for the fall season, too.

ABOUT SKA BREWING

Based in Durango, Colorado, Ska Brewing was founded in 1995 and produces more than a dozen award-winning beers fueled with Ska music, and lots of it.

In addition, the North Myrtle Beach, SC brewpub will feature a special presentation by Dr. Kim Ritchie from the University of South Carolina at Beaufort. She is a well-respected marine biologist who studies aquatic life and coral reef organisms, climate and oceanic change, and the role of beneficial microbes. Also, look out for a special appearance from the Myrtle Beach Pelicans Rally Shark.

Shark Party is a favorite beer from Crooked Hammock’s limited-edition Seeker Series which tugs at the outer reaches of our taste buds. These “yonder beers” challenge both brewer and drinker to test their comfort zone: sometimes stronger, always bolder and prone to cult followings.

“Sharks are the ultimate apex predators, and the crazy cult following around them keeps growing,” says Crooked Hammock owner Rich Garrahan. “We plan to honor sharks, the oceans they live in, and the myths behind them — safe in our brewery on dry land, of course — while getting into the spirit of Shark Week.”
