Download or read book The Brewers Association s Guide to Starting Your Own Brewery written by Dick Cantwell and published by Brewers Publications. This book was released on 2013-05-15 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Brewers Association's Guide to Starting Your Own Brewery distills the wisdom of craft brewing veteran Dick Cantwell into one text that delivers essential industry insight. American craft brewers have always exhibited a sense of community and collegiality but the success of the industry is embodied by the production of consistently high-quality beer at community-oriented breweries. This book is an indispensable resource for aspiring brewery owners to turn that vision into reality. At every level, brewing is about careful planning and execution of processes. The author shows that this is no different when starting a brewery. Cantwell walks the reader through initial planning, from site selection, size, staffing levels, your brewery concept, and dealing with delays, to business planning and raising capital. Regulatory and legal issues are discussed—not least a brewery's obligations to the inland revenue service—along with strategies essential for starting and growing your operation, such as production and sales planning and brewery expansion either on site or opening new locations. The author includes several example business plans that are explored in detail, and peppers the book with his own personal and hard-won insights on everything from guerilla marketing to applying epoxy resin flooring. Within this big picture, the author weaves in critical aspects like brand identity, marketing, quality assurance, and distribution, not to mention details like equipment options, securing ingredients, and installing flooring and drainage that will stand up to the demands of a busy brewery. Finally, once your brewery opens its doors, the process of brewing needs to continue smoothly. You need to plan and adapt your brand portfolio, operate sustainably, dispose of wastewater correctly, and package and present your product in a way that will appeal to customers. Craft breweries pride themselves on conscientious operation, maintaining the safety of their staff and operating responsibly within their community, all the while being profitable. From concept to operation, this book gets you on the right track to succeed in one of today's most dynamic industries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the birth and evolution of craft breweries around the world. Microbrewery, brewpub, artisanal brewery, henceforth craft brewery, are terms referred to a new kind of production in the brewing industry contraposed to the mass production of beer, which has started and diffused in almost all industrialized countries in the last decades. This project provides an explanation of the entrepreneurial dynamics behind these new firms from an economic perspective. The product standardization of large producers, the emergence of a new more sophisticated demand and set of consumers, the effect of contagion, and technology aspects are analyzed as the main determinants behind this ‘revolution’. The worldwide perspective makes the project distinctive, presenting cases from many relevant countries, including the USA, Australia, Japan, China, UK, Belgium, Italy and many other EU countries.

Download or read book Beer in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance written by Richard W. Unger and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-05-22 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beer of today—brewed from malted grain and hops, manufactured by large and often multinational corporations, frequently associated with young adults, sports, and drunkenness—is largely the result of scientific and industrial developments of the nineteenth century. Modern beer, however, has little in common with the drink that carried that name through the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Looking at a time when beer was often a nutritional necessity, was sometimes used as medicine, could be flavored with everything from the bark of fir trees to thyme and fresh eggs, and was consumed by men, women, and children alike, Beer in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance presents an extraordinarily detailed history of the business, art, and governance of brewing. During the medieval and early modern periods beer was as much a daily necessity as a source of inebriation and amusement. It was the beverage of choice of urban populations that lacked access to secure sources of potable water; a commodity of economic as well as social importance; a safe drink for daily consumption that was less expensive than wine; and a major source of tax revenue for the state. In Beer in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, Richard W. Unger has written an encompassing study of beer as both a product and an economic force in Europe. Drawing from archives in the Low Countries and England to assemble an impressively complete history, Unger describes the transformation of the industry from small-scale production that was a basic part of housewifery to a highly regulated commercial enterprise dominated by the wealthy and overseen by government authorities. Looking at the intersecting technological, economic, cultural, and political changes that influenced the transformation of brewing over centuries, he traces how improvements in technology and in the distribution of information combined to standardize quality, showing how the process of urbanization created the concentrated markets essential for commercial production. Weaving together the stories of prosperous businessmen, skilled brewmasters, and small producers, this impressively researched overview of the social and cultural practices that surrounded the beer industry is rich in implication for the history of the period as a whole.

This book if the first from a planned series focusing on craft beer and cooking recipes using beer, accompanied by many photos, movies, and other interactive elements. „We’re incredibly lucky to be living during a period of Renaissance of beer. There is an unbelievable amount of great beers waiting for us. Some have been forgotten and many more have yet to be discovered. There’s a hitherto undiscovered world of mysterious tastes, aromas and colors. With some honorable exceptions, these are not just the products of large multinational brewing conglomerations, but rather beer brewed at small and independent breweries, crafted with the love and knowhow of their makers. Despite many obstacles, these independent brewers – craft brewers from all over the world – have restored the traditional production of beer along with long-forgotten beer types. They don’t use food additives named after letters of the alphabet nor other gimmicks to increase profits at the expense of quality. Thus we can pleasure our senses with the authentic gastronomical experiences enjoyed by earlier peoples that are hard to find in this over-technologized and globalized period. All of the beers detailed in this book can be purchased. Though not completely accessible at regular shops, some supermarkets and a number of specialized shops offer sufficiently large selections. You can also find plenty of restaurants which pour daft beers from craft breweries both domestic and foreign. Many books have already been written about beer and each year more are published. There are comprehensive publications and encyclopedias, as well as various annual magazines and regional guidebooks. So how is my book different and how might you find it useful? First and foremost I have conceived it to be brief – I don’t want to burden you with excessive details. But also contains the latest information. Through word and image I’ll introduce you to beer styles and specific brands of beers which are definitely worth tasting. I’ll try to provide you with basic information from the world of beers and together we’ll uncover the secret tastes and aromas hiding within them. We’ll also take a look at the origin of beer and the emergence of beer styles. We’ll say something about the production of beer at both an industrial scale and at microbreweries and home brewing. You will also learn how to use beer in the kitchen, and not just as a beverage while cooking. I’ll respond to any questions and comments at Facebook. May this book lead you to new experiences that will not only enrich you and your loved ones, but also allow you to make master brewers happy and aid them in their work in showing us what real beer should be like. Cheers!! Tomáš Hasík
