75 years of BRAUWELT – 160 years of Fachverlag Hans Carl

Jubilee | Seventy-five years ago on January 31, 1946, BRAUWELT was published for the first time since the Second World War. Under this new name it was successor to the Allgemeine Bayerische Hopfenzeitschrift (General Bavarian Hop Journal) that had been published regularly since its establishment in 1861. Communication in and networking of the global brewing and beverage industries would have been – and still is – inconceivable without BRAUWELT. Its content and design have always adapted to suit the demands of the day and age.

Verification of cleaning performance of bottle washing machines

Inspection of empties | Regular verification of cleaning performance of bottle washers in breweries is important in order to ensure perfect product quality and product safety. This is the reason why the Research Center Weihenstephan for Brewing and Food Quality, Freising, Germany, in cooperation with five breweries, validated a test series with standardised contaminated bottles. This should enable breweries to carry out their own checks.

Beer monopoly podcast No. 9: Direct to consumer

It was a remarkable admission by James Watt, one of the founders of Scottish craft brewer BrewDog: He said that in March 2020 he broke down in tears when the severity of covid-19 became clear: BrewDog had lost almost 70 percent of its revenue overnight, almost all of its 100 bars were closed, most of its export markets stopped ordering. Pivoting its website to prominently feature its online shop proved a way out. BrewDog ended a potentially ruinous year profitably. So what can craft brewers learn from BrewDog’s e-commerce model?
