Brews News Week Episode 193

This week on Brews News Week, Pete and Matt discuss the beers news of the week. Under the  microscope this week is: The US Brewers Association is again revisiting the definition of ‘craft’, with a view to changing the definition of independence. Some people say that “Craft beer” means anything Boston Beer wants it to. But non-beer products are becoming an increasing part of brewer’s portfolios. Stone & Wood co-founder Brad Rogers has started brewing under his own brand, Forest for the Trees, launching with a Saison. Endeavour Brewing launches crowdfunding campaign Pete also pays tribute to Dr Ian Davis, founder of FightMND who died this week after being a campaigner for MND research and a huge inspiration for many. Brewmanity and Cavalier both have beers raising money for this disease. Seek them out this week and have one in Ian’s memory.
