We are a couple of brewers who dealt with first-hand, the effects of over-contracting hops. Contracting is an essential function of the hop market, but what happens when it goes wrong? There is only so much hop companies and breweries can do (how many specials can one brewery make 😅) So we set up Brewing Trade a platform where you can buy and sell brand new surplus hops with each other. We have amassed 500 brewers who feel exactly the same as we did, and want to find their hop freedom in only 7 months. Our journey is JUST beginning. Be a part of one of the fastest-growing trends in the brewing industry and join 500+ other breweries that are fighting rising costs and feeling total freedom.

✨ See what your industry pals have to say! Spoiler: It’s pretty good.

EP 132: “Hops and Hardships” – Mike & Blaine by Blaine Bertsch It was a good run. After almost two decades of growth and an explosion of crazy-good flavors, the craft brewing business is in decline. How could that be? You would think the beer snobs would revolt or come to their favorite brewers' rescue, but that hasn’t happened yet. In this episode, Mike and Blaine speak […] #boomers #babyboomers

Who wouldn’t want to own a craft brewery, it’s literally the Hollywood of start up dreams. But it looks like the craft brewing industry in Australia is in big trouble. This is important because we’re in that post-pandemic spot where a lot of the costs of the subsidies and easy money are starting to come due. A false sense of security that ended up being a false economy. It usually takes around four years after an economic shock for the business failures to peak. That’s what happened after 2008 and it seems to be happening again now. There are a bunch of other reasons explained here why craft brewing is in trouble. A triple IPA is probably peak craft beer. Also, the duopoly of the big players, which seems to exist in most beer markets, although that’s an old story. Anyway, this is a great read for anyone interested in beer, business and being around for the next big bust. https://lnkd.in/ghZ9khvR

End-of-Year Goals: Pushing Boundaries at Backswing Brewing As we approach the end of the year, we're setting our sights higher and pushing boundaries here at Backswing Brewing. 🍻 This year has been full of challenges and growth, and we’re excited to finish strong. Our goals for the last few months are simple yet bold: 1. Expand Community Reach: We want to continue connecting with our community, building partnerships with more local events, and making Backswing Brewing a household name for anyone who loves doing beer differently. 2. Get More Taps in Local Spots: Our focus is on bringing our craft beer to more bars and restaurants around the state of Nebraska. We have some hefty goals for expanding our presence, and we are confident that, with the help of the Johnson Brothers team, those goals will be achieved. 3. Celebrate Every Win: From launching new campaigns to building lasting connections, we aim to celebrate every achievement with the people who helped make it possible: our amazing team, partners, and all of you who have supported us. These goals are all about growth, community, and celebrating our unique approach to the industry. After meeting with the Johnson Brothers leadership team this past week (Bill Brammeier, Joe O'Connor, and Jarrod Straw) we are even more confident that these goals are achievable. We’re looking forward to what’s ahead for the rest of this year, and what 2025 has in store for Backswing Brewing Co.. If you're interested in partnering with us or bringing Backswing to your favorite watering hole or restaurant, let's connect! #CraftBeer #DoBeerDifferently #EndOfYearGoals #SupportLocalBreweries #BackswingBrewing #CommunityMatters #NECraftBeer #ForABetterRoundofBeer

What's the secret sauce that makes smaller breweries pop on the radar and stay there? 🤔 Well, from chatting with some players over the last few months, it's clear: they're not going solo. The real winners in the brewery game are those who blend brewing genius with sharp sales and marketing strategies. Here’s the real kicker—successful breweries aren't just about passion for the pint; they're built like businesses from the ground up. They think product and pitch. It’s a dynamic duo of great brews backed by great branding and sales tactics. You see, having a partner or a team that nails the marketing and selling part is crucial. It doesn't matter how stellar your beer is if nobody's heard of it, right? If you're running a brewery and haven't yet hit the sweet spot with marketing and sales, consider this a friendly nudge. Either buff up your own skills or team up with folks who can. Because, let’s face it, fading into the background isn't an option. 💪🍻 #BreweryBusiness #CraftBeerGrowth #BeerMarketing
