Maine's craft brewing industry has always punched above its weight despite being among the smallest in population. The state ranked second in breweries (14.3 per 100,000 21+ adults) and economic impact per capita, and third in gallons (9.8) per 21+ adult in 2024, according to Brewers Association data. That outsized impact along with the state's robust tourism business gives Maine craft brewers a unique perspective on the industry's ebbs and flows. The latest edition of the Brewbound Podcast features two of those voices – Baxter Brewing president Jenn Lever and Orono Brewing co-owner Abe Furth – in separate conversations recorded during the New England Brew Summit. Both are also Maine Brewers Guild leaders and board members. Up first, Lever explained what it's like to navigate a business when seven months account for the lion's share of volume. "We're so proud to represent Maine year-round, but we also recognize the challenges that come when your population quadruples for less than half of the year," she said. "You've gotta be ready to activate and react as quickly as possible to that summer season. "The people that come to Maine the first time, it's never their last time." Lever also touched on how Baxter's mix shifts during the busy season, the loss of Canadian tourism amid strained international relations and why blueberry-flavored offerings have become big business for the company. Then, Furth discussed why guild participation remains important. He also shared why operating in a college town allows him to peer into the future and plan accordingly, and explained the importance of working through innovation plans with the brewery's distributors to find products that fill real whitespace in their portfolios. Before the interview, Justin and Jess recap Tilray's purchase of BrewDog's U.S. assets and the future of the platform. They also look at some not great shipment numbers to start the year and some not-so-bad scans.
It's been a minute since I sat down with Bruce. We try to do a yearly check-in, but last year seemed to just disappear into the ether.So this year... a couple of months late, we got to it.We covered a lot of ground in this one: what failure looks like, BrewDog, and of course, the general state of the industry.Enjoy!

Two months into her role as president of Portland, Maine-based Oxbow Brewing Company, Bri Warner is finding her groove and taking on more of the hands-on, day-to-day operations. The leadership transition allows founder Tim Adams to spend more time evangelizing for Oxbow and Rising Tide, which the company acquired in early 2025. Warner joined the brewery from Atlantic Sea Farms, the largest kelp farming operation in the country. The duo joined the Brewbound Podcast for a conversation recorded at Oxbow's Portland taproom. Before the interview, the Brewbound team details the latest beer industry news, including Tilray's acquisition of BrewDog's Australian operations. Four Loko's proposed sale and George Clooney and buds' new NA brand, Crazy Mountain.

Send a textWe just can't get these guys outta the news...That's right, more BrewDog news. This one caught me off guard but maybe it shouldn't have. Tilray continues to stockpile breweries, and they got this dog for cheap. Let's see how it goes.In funner news, we had a bottle share last weekend. Good times, it's been way too long. We had some sour beers, grilled meats, played some cards, and smoked some cigars. You should have been there.We've got a new hop out of Australian, or at least a new named hop - Luna. It's a fruity blend and suggested for use in lagers. Interesting.In the legislative world our Georgia beer bill failed. We used to that, but it still stings every time. On a bigger scale the CHEERS Act returns, pushing for more eco-friendly draft systems.Next week... our livestream will be on Thursday to accommodate a special guest.

Global markets are sliding — and this week's selloff is shaking everything from oil and gas to bonds and gold. Dan Coatsworth and Danni Hewson break down what's driving the volatility, how past geopolitical conflicts have affected stock markets, and what it all means for investors, portfolios, and your money right now. We also unpack Chancellor Rachel Reeves' Spring Statement, including the key wins, the potential risks, and what the new OBR forecasts could mean for your personal finances, UK economy outlook, and interest rates. In company news, Greggs surprises the market despite falling profits, TG Jones (the new name in front of old WH Smith stores) struggles on the high street, and BrewDog investors face a harsh lesson in why crowdfunding is not the same as stock market investing. There's also an important update on wills you'll want to know about — plus two expert interviews exploring the biggest trend in global markets: AI investing. Orbis' Simon Skinner discusses US sectors with an AI tailwind, while Brown Advisory's Colby Stilson explains why major tech names are issuing bonds to fund massive AI infrastructure projects.

New York's 42 North Brewing has entered its second decade with a new mindset about what it means to be a craft brewer, founder John Cimperman said on the latest episode of the Brewbound Podcast. 42 North Brewing celebrated its 10th anniversary last September. Business at its taprooms in East Aurora and downtown Buffalo has returned to pre-COVID-19 levels with some changes. Food and events make up a larger portion of revenue, and 42 North has embraced both by enlisting a restaurant partner to manage service and booking standing live music performances. Before the interview, Zoe and Jess break down Tilray Brands' acquisition of BrewDog's Scotland brewery, global brand and IP and 11 pubs in the U.K. and Ireland, plus the closing of BeatBox's sale to Anheuser-Busch InBev and the new leadership of the Brewers Association's board of directors.

While we patiently stalk his Linkedin account awaiting the next great pivot, here's 2 hours + of stuff and old and new to dive into while contemplating the failed merger of Brewdog and Brew Ha Ha Productions (see, now you no longer have to watch the fifth season of “Industry”)

Send a textWe open the show with some sad news. Tim Very, drummer for Manchester Orchestra, died unexpectedly at just 42. We didn't know Tim well, but in our interactions he was always happy and super friendly. The death was unexpected and no cause has been reported. We're all big fans of their music and were saddened by the news. We wish all the best to his bandmates, family, and friends.Curling is hot news right now. Olympic drama, guys curling cases of beer. I mean, it is an Olympic sport but from the stories of my Canadian friends it sounds like it's much like joining a bowling league here in the US. Get together and have a little fun while you drink some beers. Now that's what I call "training for the Olympics."Speaking of sports... the Super Bowl was good for beer sales. No shocker there. Super Bowl parties and beer are a match made in heaven. I'll be concerned when I hear beer sales went down before Super Bowl Sunday. Definite sign of the apocalypse. We also got some more chicken wing drama of the boneless variety with a guy suing Buffalo Wild Wings for fraud, and some hard data on the Chicken Wing Index. We got facts, y'all.BrewDog is almost too easy of a target. Are y'all tired of hearing about them? I kind of like it, it's always some stupidity that they likely created themselves. They entertain me. The latest is that they're up for sale, quick sale apparently. Let's see what happens.In other news... Boston Beer Co. to close a brewery we didn't know they owned and Australians are big mad about short pours.Thanks for listening to Beer Guys Radio!

Send us a text2026 shaping up to be the year of convenience store beer. It's got Goldman Sachs feeling particularly bullish. They're throwing around "buy" recommendations on beer stocks. We're obviously long on beer. And by that I mean, Brian is driving the sales of Long Beers at Atlanta-area convenience stores.BrewDog is also all over news lately, and in keeping with tradition it's all bad. James Watt- is he coming back? Did he ever really leave? Does anyone care? Did anyone know they had a distillery? All these questions and more are asked in this episode. And then there's 44-year old bottle of bourbon that set an auction record, and study that raises doubts about neo-prohibitionist alcohol claims. Take that, activist teetotalers.Thanks for listening to Beer Guys Radio!
