Beer is one of the oldest and most widely consumed alcoholic beverages in the world, with a history dating back over 7,000 years. Beer is primarily made from four key ingredients as water, malted barley, hops, and yeast. Beer production undergoes a fermentation process where yeast converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The brewing process varies widely, creating a diverse range of beer styles, from light lagers and hoppy India Pale Ale (IPA) to rich stouts and sour ales. Beer also has significant cultural and social roles such as breweries and pubs serving as gathering places for communities around the globe. Today, the craft beer movement has further expanded beer's variety, emphasizing creativity and local ingredients.

Now this will get the beer geeks going! Carlsberg announces a new idea, 'Fresh Beer', really? So the story goes the Danes have created this wonderful new concept for serving beer called fresh beer, or put another way Keg beer served through a hand pull. Sorry Carlsberg it is not exactly new, it's been around for years, but this is the important part, it's filling a demand in the marketplace that is growing week on week as many smaller pubs can not support having a raft of cask beers on the bar. Nothing in my mind can beat the delicious taste of the Champagne of ales good cask beer; but if we are to see the rural pub survive, and some of the smaller boozers then you have to look at beer viability and provide a high-quality alternative. Shakespere is a brewery-conditioned beer served with a handpull. What a heinous thing to say, Simon Buckley, much gnashing of the teeth by the CAMRA camp, fraud say others, but the truth L&G is that the beer is excellent, gives the licensee increased shelf life, and most importantly, if well made is a good second to cask ale. Where Carlsberg went wrong was by calling the product Fresh Beer instead of telling the consumer what it really is Brewery Conditioned Beer. Just put it on the pumpclip, and then everyone knows what they are getting. ...that is what we have done with CWRW, now available as a brewery-conditioned beer, cask and bottle. Which now means that it is without a doubt 'probably one of the best beers in the world'

Ummm, did we just invent the anywhere beer? The State of Play mission to give the choice of having a beer regardless of the alcohol content, has taken a turn… When we launched, the non alc segment fought as an alternative. The Heineken zero tag line is ‘when you want a beer but can’t, now you can’. And the rest of us followed this narrative. It’s a bit narrow in ambition It’s a bit negative An insight we fought against Then we launched State Of Play- the only dedicated zero alc brewery in New Zealand. This is important as we totally love beer, without alcohol and don’t have to play by the rules of all the other breweries. Turns out the State Of Players don’t play by the rules either. We got photos of the best beer moments. Comments about enjoying a beer on their terms. They kept coming. More and more beer occasions. Breakfast beers after morning milking, after ultramarathons, road tripping, boat beers, beers before baby, beers at the farmers market. And then we realised we had created more than a beer, the drinkers had decided this beer can be enjoyed, anywhere. New rules apply: Rule #1 if you want a beer. Have it. Rule #2 share rule#1 with a friend. Here is a reel of the last 3 months. When you next have a great beer anywhere send us the pic please #theanywherebeer #beeronyourterms #ipa #hops

Local coffee is a lot like local beer. 10-15 years ago, local craft beer was not something anyone thought much about. Fast forward to now, and you can’t turn a corner without seeing a new local brewery or taproom popping up. How did this happen? Local craft beer took what had become a watered-down commodity, national beer brands, and breathed new life into it by not trying to make a uniform brew they could sell worldwide but by focusing on creating the best beer they could. Coffee is experiencing the same trend. Starbucks and Dunkin made coffee a way of life for Americans, but much like the beer companies, they focused on creating a uniform product they could offer worldwide. Local roasters instead focus on coffee as local breweries focus on beer; they’re focused on making the best cup of coffee possible, not the most uniform. If you want to see what the coffee world has been up to, reach out to set up a free local coffee tasting for your office.

Let me tell you a story about working in craft beer, a story all breweries will know all too well. You sell a beer to a place for the first time, you’re nervous, you know the beer’s good but you’re still nervous how it’s going to be received. You want to get in touch with the person you’ve been dealing with, you finally ask ‘how did the beer go down?’. The response - ‘amazing. Everybody loved it. We sold it all in one night, fastest selling beer we’ve ever had’. You think that’s awesome, I’m in here. We’re going to be supplying this place for years. So happy. You express a hint of this optimism ‘wow, I’m so glad to hear it. You never know how a beer’s going to go in a new place but glad it went as well as we hoped. Would you like some more?’ ‘Nah. We like to rotate. We might order again next year’ Thankfully not all venues are run like this, and one that absolutely isn’t is Against The Grain Bar who have been absolutely flying through the Tiger Club! recently and we dropped some more kegs off today freshly kegged literally 30 minutes earlier. We’ve been delivering this beer to them every week for a fair few months now and in part that’s due to the owners understanding the need of their customers and the business they run, and also the relationship we’ve built together and the understanding we’ve got of their needs as a bar - namely a quality product that we can replicate and deliver time and again. Winning a new customer is hard, finding good ones is harder and keeping those is the hardest skill of all. (The above is a true story btw and not an isolated incident 😂🤦♂️)
