Podcast appearances and mentions of keith villa

If you've enjoyed an American craft beer over the last few decades, you've benefited from the efforts of our guest today. Keith Villa founded Blue Moon Brewing Company for Miller Coors back in 1995, which would of course become an iconic brand that helped usher in a new era of craft beer that we know today. His trailblazing efforts in craft beer didn't stop there, though, as he would start Ceria Brewing in 2018. Ceria is known for two things. One, launching a very early-stage, cannabis-infused beer. When they had to pivot due to being so early to market, they currently brew one of, if not the only, completely zero-proof beers made in the U.S. In our conversation we talk about what microbrewing looked like in the mid 90s, before fast-forwarding to the last decade in brewing. Mentioned in this episode:Ceria BrewingBlue Moon BrewingBrewing With Cannabis (book)

Like any good parable, the "David and Goliath" self-mythology of the American craft brewing industry in the '80s and '90s was illuminating, compelling — and maybe a bit reductive, too. In Episodes 33 and 34, we examined this us-versus-them dynamic from the perspective of one of the “thems,” Keith Villa, who created the Blue Moon Brewing Company from within the Coors colossus in 1995. Today, we're coming at it once again through the eyes of New Realm Brewing Co. cofounder and brewmaster Mitch Steele, who did a substantial stretch, semi-concurrent to Villa's at Coors, at Big Beer's biggest and baddest "Goliath" of all: Missouri's pre-InBev Anheuser-Busch. After starting his career in a California brewpub, Mitch eventually wound up in St. Louis towards the end of the 20th century on a skunkworks-style R&D team tasked with brewing up answers to those pesky “microbrews” that would somehow satisfy distributors in the mighty red network, the American drinking public, and August Busch the Third himself — no mean feat. Would creative extensions on the premium Michelob line do the trick? What about a new brand named for A-B's hop farm in northern Idaho? You'll have to listen on to find out.

Pasteurization is a method of stabilizing beer through heat.  Although some people think pasteurization can negatively affect the flavor of beer, when used properly, pasteurization stabilizes and preserves flavors and gives brewers flexibility in the brewing process. And with the rise in popularity of non-alcoholic beer, which has less inherent preservative qualities, pasteurization not only keeps flavors stable, but is necessary to keep those beers free from pathogens.This episode's guest: Keith Villa, Ph.D., is a trailblazer in the beer and cannabis industries; and brewmaster and co-founder of Colorado-based CERIA Brewing Company, dedicated to brewing only alcohol-free beers. After earning his PhD in brewing from the University of Brussels in Belgium in the early 1990's, an honor only a handful of brewers have achieved, Keith returned to the states with the idea of crafting beers inspired by Belgian styles, but with a twist.  He then began his 32-year career as founder and head brewmaster at Blue Moon Brewing Company, an operating unit of MillerCoors.  Since retiring from Blue Moon, this beer doctor developed a patented brewing method to produce great tasting alcohol-free craft beers; written a book titled Brewing with Cannabis, Using THC and CBD in Beer; and continues to speak worldwide as an expert in both the beer and cannabis industries. This Episode is Sponsored by:Malteurop Malting CompanyMalteurop Malting Company (MMC) is based in North America—specializing in growing and producing quality malts for the craft beer and distilling industries.

Returning to Taplines today for the second installment of our two-part episode about Blue Moon's historic, controversial rise is Keith Villa, the former Coors brewer who created the iconic, top-selling Belgian-style witbier in the mid-'90s. We discuss the brand's soaring success after its rocky first few years in the Rocky Mountains — and how once Blue Moon found its footing in Coors' portfolio, it started to face criticism from some members of the craft brewing industry, who painted the beer as an interloper to “the movement” that Villa had considered himself a part of.

Joining Taplines today to talk about Blue Moon's historic, controversial rise, is Keith Villa, the brewer who created the original recipe for the Belgian-style beer at Coors after earning his PhD in brewing from the University of Brussels. From the corporate offices in Golden, Colorado, to the ballpark brewhouse where he perfected the brand's soon-to-be-smash hit recipe, to the bars nationwide where he tried to get bartenders to actually serve the stuff, Villa says Blue Moon's success was anything but preordained by its corporate backing — contrary to what its critics argued. Let's talk about it. (This is Part 1 of a two-part episode about Blue Moon; Part 2 will appear directly following this one in the feed one week later.) Don't forget to like, review, and subscribe!

We're here to help you make it through Dry January We've made it through another year and here we are with our livers beaten senseless through the holiday celebrations.  If you're giving the body a break and trying to go dry we have some good news.  There are some pretty decent options available now to allow you to still have drink with your friends. People always have questions about the Beer Guys drinking NA beers.  Hey, we like beer, but we know that too much of it is not a good thing.  We also like the taste of beer so having an occasional day, week, month where we ease up on the alcohol can be a good thing.  Speaking of just doing a day or so... we heard of Damp January this year.  That's kind of the principle we've been going by.  It can still be beneficial to take a break even if you don't go totally dry. With that in mind... here are a few of our favs. NA Beers Athletic Brewing - Most of what we've tried from Athletic is solid.  They are our favorite all around NA brewer Partake - Another one that is mostly solid. Bravus - Their Peanut Butter Dark is our single fav NA beer, and the one that would be most difficult for us to tell from an alcoholic version of the same style Ceria - Only a couple offerings right now but they are tasty.  If you're in CA or CO, they offer NA brews infused with THC and CBD.  (Ceria was founded by Dr. Keith Villa, the creator of Blue Moon.) One to pass on.... Hairless Dog.  We tried several of their offerings and did not find any we thought were palatable. NA Spirits NA spirits have some catching up to do with NA beer.  The quality is just not there and they are VERY far off from tasting anything like what they are trying to replace. Most brands do say they are meant to be mixers rather than drinking them straight.  We highly suggest you follow this guideline.  The "bite" and mouthfeel is the hard part here.  Some brands add pepper and capsaicin to try and mimic the heat, but it's still a long shot We recently tried Drink Monday gin and whiskey.  They are some of the better ones we've tried, but still not sippers.  Nate made an NA Old Fashioned with them and it was a decent cocktail, but not really passable as an Old Fashioned. BIG WINNER - Lyre's Italian Spritz is pretty tasty.  Even on it's on.  A cocktail of 1 part Lyre's, 1 part Drink Monday gin, over ice and topped with Fever Tree tonic made a very enjoyable cocktail that would pass for a gin and tonic. If you're shooting for Dry January we're rooting for you.  We know you can do it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I remember tasting a few different near beers, or NA beers, many years ago. They seemed to represent an obligatory public service that warranted no further innovation. (That, of course, is my tactful way to say they pretty much sucked.) But, as I've matured in my beer journey, I've found NA beers have a place in my beer fridge, especially now that craft brewers have started making some pretty solid options. My next guest discusses the role of NA beers and why he's going one step further by putting some buzz back in the brew.

Well, this was an honor. I got the opportunity to speak with Dr. Keith Villa, creator of Blue Moon and brewmaster at MillerCoors for 32 years. Now, he's launched Ceria Brewing and he's on a new mission to disrupt the industry AGAIN by producing an AF (Alcohol-Free) "beer" infused with THC. We take a trip down memory lane - from Colorado to Brussels and back. We discuss the Blue Moon story, the nuances of NA and AF beer and legalities of producing a THC beer as well as the extraction of THC and how he gets it into the can. This was intriguing! I hope you feel the same way. Thanks Keith! @ceriabrewing @ceriainfused www.ceriabrewing.com #beermightythings #ceriabrewing #ceriainfused

After earning his Ph.D. in brewing from the University of Brussels in Belgium, an honor only a handful of brewers have achieved, Keith returned to the states with the idea of crafting beers inspired by Belgian styles, but with a twist. He then began his 32-year career as founder and head brewmaster at Blue Moon Brewing Company, an operating unit of MillerCoors.

“Still don't know what I was waitin' for, and my time was runnin' wild. A million dead end streets. And every time I thought I'd got it made, It seemed the taste was not so sweet” – Changes / David Bowie  An appropriate line for this show from one of my favorite artists, Ziggy Stardust A.K.A. David Bowie. Welcome to Episode 80 – What Will Be - 2022 Beer Trends, where we talk about and forecast he year ahead in the craft beer world. We also have one of our favorite guests sitting in with us, Cory Kuczynsk, to help us kick off a new year of podcasts! So, what do you, our beloved listeners, think will be the biggest beer trends in 2022? We found some obvious predictions and some surprising ones. Cleaner and simpler beer should one popular thread that Wii be riding the coat tails of hard seltzers, low alcohol and lager beers. We may have seen the run of hazy IPAs begin to fizzle and the demand for sour beers looks to be coming back for another gig. For some of the surprising trends we found… Smoothie and rosé beers should have a bigger presence along with fresh hop beers. Craft malts or Branded malt beverages get a nod as craft brewers are trying to separate themselves from the brands acquired and made by the mega breweries. The smaller breweries are also trending to what is known as ‘no style' beers as they try to make their own mark among the mega brewery dominance. The resurrection of the taproom concept is a trend that we find appealing. There is nothing better than sipping some fine fresh local beer in a beer garden on a nice day or inside the taproom on a cold winter night. Hell anytime is a good time to be drinking good beer, especially local…or home brew…HAH! And speaking of sipping some fine beer we had the following beers to sample. From one of our sponsors Pig Minds Brewing  we had the always delicious IPA, Sweep the Leg. As for home brews Kent brought in a Kölsch style that was a good representation. Sears brought a holiday spice beer that is a clone of Boston Beer Co  Old Fezziwig Ale  a style he loved during the holidays but is now difficult to find so he took a stab at it. Sears also brought a Belgian Wit that is infused with THC. A tasty beer with an additional ‘kick' inspired by our Episode 77 podcast  with Dr Keith Villa of CERIA Brewing. Speaking of home brews if you want to have the guys sample your beer on the show give us a shout either via e-mail, our web site or Facebook. We would love the opportunity and get ya to call in and share with us, we promise we will be nice. As always we are thankful for our sponsors who we are glad to see hanging tough in these trying times of ever changing ‘rules'. Keep up the good work!

In this episode you'll learn why the man who single-handedly gave us one of the biggest beers in the world, Blue Moon, believes that his new cannabis beer might eclipse his previous success.Dr. Keith Villa is a living legend in brewing circles, having not only created Blue Moon but also led the marketing and production from relatively humble beginnings to global success. For many, Blue Moon was the beer that opened their eyes (and taste buds) up to a world of flavours that mainstream lagers simply couldn't compare with. This arguably turbocharged the craft beer revolution and shaped the global beer market we know today. However Keith didn't stop there and his latest venture, Ceria Brewing, focuses on Cannabis infused beers and he describes the "Tsunami" of opportunity that legalisation creates. Keith also talks about how his new book, Brewing with Cannabis, giving practical advice for anybody wanting to start making Cannabis beers and beverages at any scale. We also welcome another guest to our "Desert Island" where they can choose to bring only one drink with them. This time we hear from Tara Nurin, Beer Journalist, Author and Lecturer. Tara talks about her newly launched book: A Woman's Place Is In The Brewhouse and she explains how women's role in brewing has changed throughout history and how modern women are overcoming challenges to improve their representation and making brewing a better industry for all.On top of all that  that, Foxy and Will make a BIG announcement about an upcoming live Business of Beverages session in Dublin at the Grub & Gargle Festival at The Circular, they also talk about Foxy Brands THC Tea and forget to discuss Mexican Stouts.Please take the time to give us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts.

What a privilege to chat to one of the godfathers of craft beer, Keith Villa. He talked about his time founding Blue Moon in the nineties, before moving into the amazing world of alcohol-free (and cannabis-infused beers) with Ceria. Enjoy!

Dr. Keith Villa, founder of Blue Moon and CERIA Brewing and author of Brewing with Cannabis, gives us tips on brewing non-alcoholic beers and adding THC.

It's all about getting an edge, doing something to make your beer stand out in a crowded field. Some do it with the label on the can and others with the ingredients. One that keeps popping up is cannabidiol – better known as CBD. In this episode we'll be talking with Dr Keith Villa who,...

“Put a lime in the coconut and drink 'em both together; Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better; Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em both down; Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning” Put the Lime in the Coconut  This popular novelty song from the 1972 album Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson finds a girl in tummy trouble after drinking a concoction of lime and coconut. She calls her exasperated doctor in the middle of the night, who suggests she take a little of the hair of the dog that bit her. Welcome back to Home Brew Rock Stars Episode 77 and although we are not putting limes in coconuts we are putting orange slices in Belgian White beer and THC & CBD's in beer and that sounds like much more fun! In this episode we have the privilege and honor of having Dr. Keith Villa call in to our show. Keith has a Ph.D. in brewing science and fermentation biochemistry. If the name is not familiar to you it should as Keith was the brew master that brought Blue Moon beer to the masses. After 32 years as brewer at MillerCoors (now named Molson Coors) Keith retired in 2018. Not long after his retirement he and his wife Jodi co-founded CERIA Brewing Co. to fulfill their dream of creating THC/CBD infused beers. Keith is an interesting guy that loves to talk about beer. The Home Brew Rock Stars crew enjoyed visiting with Keith about his journey into brewing, his time at MillerCoors and his new venture with Ceria Brewing Co. CERIA's claim to fame is infusing THC and CBD's into great tasting no alcohol beer. No alcohol beer is absolutely necessary to infuse THC into it as federal law still recognizes cannabis as a schedule 1 drug, unlike the 18 states and the District of Columbia that have legalized recreational use. I know, I know, great tasting no alcohol beer? But yes Keith has a proprietary technique that removes all the alcohol but still has great taste. Come on man ya gotta trust the guy that brought us Blue Moon. He also tells us how to make any homebrew a great tasting low alcohol (0.5% ABV) beer. Check out Keith's brand new book titled Brewing With Cannabis: Using THC and CBD in Beer, he shares great tips on brewing beer, low alcohol beer, growing cannabis and more.  If you have not figured it out WE LOVE BEER and if you have a homebrew that you would like us to try and review on the podcast contact us and we will make arrangements to get it into our thirsty hands. Big thanks to our program sponsors Pig Minds Brewing, Artale & Co, and 815 Gardens and Brewing for all their suds and support, we love you guys!

Keith Villa, Ph. D. is a pioneer in the rapidly growing market of non-alcoholic cannabis-infused beers. Dr. Villa is a brewmaster who worked with Molson Coors for over 30 years. There, he founded Blue Moon brewery. After retiring in 2018, Dr. Villa founded CERIA Brewing, which became the state's first THC-infused, non-alcoholic craft beer. Dr. Villa is also the author of Brewing with Cannabis: Using THC and CBD in Beer.

Cannabis in a can with CERIA Brewing's Dr. Keith Villa As state's legalize the casual consumption of marijuana I think we knew a time would come when it found it's way into a beer.  No doubt that homebrewers have tried this combination out a time or two, but for CERIA Brewing THC and CBD is the focus of their brews. Dr. Keith Villa is best known as the inventor of the iconic Blue Moon Belgian White.  Whether you're a fan or not, it's hard to argue the impact this beer has had on craft beer, and the beer world in general.  We promised Villa we wouldn't dominate the show with Blue Moon questions.  We lied.  We get a good segment in on the history of the brew and the small change that launched it to stardom.  It's a pretty great story. But cannabis beers are the them of the day and we talk plenty about them.  They're are multiple levels of illegality in putting cannabis and alcohol together, so all of CERIA's brews are non-alcoholic, and 0.0% at that.  The brewery didn't want to run afoul of any regulations with the

We sat down with Dr. Keith Villa, an actual PhD in Brewing and the creator of Blue Moon, to talk about Ceria, non-alcoholic beer, and how he went from Med-school hopeful to creating one of the most popular beers of all time.A big thanks to our sponsors at www.na-brews.com | Shop Craft NA beer and use promo code BEERWITHOUT15 for 15% off

Keith Villa, founder of Blue Moon Brewing and author of Brewing with Cannabis: Using THC and CBD in Beer, talks about his latest venture bringing cannabis products to brewing.

On today's episode of Stoned Appetit (presented by Shoppe Callie's Cannabis Dispensary @shoppecallies), Kip jumps online to talk with Dr. Keith Villa. Keith is the man who CREATED Blue Moon beer.. yep, that Blue Moon.. and since then, Keith has gone on to retire from Coors with a star-studded resume and launched his new company, Ceria Brewery- Non Alcoholic Beer, infused with THC. Ceria was created in Arvada Colorado over the last 2+ years with Kieth & his wife. Keith got into the beer world after deciding being a doctor really wasnt his thing... He went on to study "beer" abroad at some foreign brewery college (yep, its real..we googled it) and then came back to CO stunt on his competitors. 30+ years of brewery knowledge, two legit beers that revolutionized the industry..all from the man on the other end of this interview! In addition to the canna-beer talk, we also talk about Keith's childhood, how he once saved Coors Banquet, and love for Colorado... as well as foreign travels, what you do if you have no work visa in Europe and many things he's learned on his path to being one of the most inventive minds in brewing, in the world. The episode is great for beer snobs, cannabis clowns and everyone in between. Enlightening episode, fantastic guest with a PRIMO product. After listening to the episode, go out, hit up your local dispensary (big brand or mom n pop) and buy yourself a 4/6 pack of Ceria N/A Canna-brew!!! You can thank me later!Cheers

CBP Stories showcase individual members who have an inspiring story to tell. During his 32 years at MillerCoors, Keith Villa created this cloudy, unfiltered Belgian-style beer, first brewed at the 10-barrel Sandlot Brewery inside Denver's Coors Field, that would go on to become the number one craft beer in America, helped in part by the Valencia orange slice Keith suggested bartenders place on every rim. Having retired from Coors in 2018, Keith, along with his wife Jodi, began focusing on the next stage in their careers – development of a craft beer infused with THC, a key psychoactive chemical from cannabis plants that creates pleasurable sensations. In December 2018, the Villa's CERIA (rhymes with “area”) Brewing Company launched its first THC-infused non-alcohol brew in Colorado. Since then, CERIA has expanded throughout Colorado and plans are to expand to other states where the use of recreational marijuana is legal. Having successfully grown CERIA's THC-infused beer brand, Keith decided in 2020 to also offer his non-alcoholic beers without THC. www.CraftBeerProfessionals.org

After earning his Ph.D. in brewing from the University of Brussels in Belgium, an honor only a handful of brewers have achieved, Keith Villa came back stateside with the idea of crafting beers inspired by Belgian styles, but with a twist. His first interpretation turned out to be one of Coors Brewing Company's most popular beers, Blue Moon Belgian White and in 1995, the Blue Moon Brewing Company was created. In 2018, Keith retired from MillerCoors to launch CERIA Brewing Company, dedicated to brewing the finest non-alcoholic beers, including a product line infused with cannabis.

CERIA Brewing Company is a family-owned business founded by Keith Villa and his wife Jodi in January 2018, and is one of the leading non-alcoholic beer companies in the United States. Keith has a Ph.D. in Brewing from the University of Brussels and is the creator of Blue Moon, the most successful craft beer in the United States and driver of the craft beer movement. After retiring from brewing nationally renowned craft beers, Keith was eager for a new challenge and he founded CERIA Brewing to create great-tasting non-alcoholic brews so that no matter why you choose not to drink alcohol, you can still enjoy a great tasting brew.In this episode we get into: 1) Where the idea of CERIA came from, including the name which comes from the Roman goddess of agriculture 2) The science behind making great tasting non-alcoholic beer 3) How the non-alcoholic beer industry is one of the most innovative in the U.S. 4) What are ways they are looking to get more non-alcoholic beverages into stores, restaurants, and bars 5) Future plans for releasing news beers and other beverages

Just when you thought light-struck flavor in beer was permanent... Special Guests: Catherine Villa and Keith Villa.

In this episode, Matt talks to Brewmaster John Legnard and Senior Marketing Manager Michell Ahbe, from Blue Moon Brewing Company. Blue Moon's story begins in the Sandlot Brewery at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado, at the beginning of the 1995 baseball season. After earning his Ph.D. in brewing from the University of Brussels, their founder and head brewmaster Keith Villa returned stateside with the goal of brewing well-crafted beers inspired by Belgian styles, with a refreshing twist. Amongst the many beers, one fan favorite emerged, in true baseball fashion they called it ‘Bellyslide Wit'. Someone said, “A beer this good only comes around once in a blue moon,” and thus Blue Moon® Belgian White Belgian-Style Wheat Ale was born.  Eventually, Blue Moon gained recognition, winning over drinkers and inspiring brewers across the country. In doing so, Blue Moon catapulted the craft movement forward, helping to shape the modern American beer scene. Now, over 20 years later, Blue Moon is still the #1 craft in the US* and is now also delighting consumers in 25+ countries globally.

The cannabis beverage space is a fascinating one. Much like the craft beer movement, which grew from the work of a few hobbyists in the 1980s and 1990s into a multibillion dollar industry today, we're seeing pioneers invent new product categories, take big chances, and create new consumer experiences.  In Colorado, Keith Villa is doing exactly that. After founding Blue Moon Brewing Company and retiring from MillerCoors after 32 years in the world of beer, he and his wife have launched CERIA - a line of non-alcoholic beverages that drink like beers, but contain 0.0% alcohol and are infused with THC and CBD. He brings a deep understanding of the alcohol industry and the science of brewing to this nascent field, and has created a new product designed to serve as a replacement for alcohol - buzz, taste, and all. Today, Keith joins the podcast to share stories from his time at Blue Moon, including how he brewed the first pumpkin beer (and chicken beer, for that matter), the unique challenges in the cannabis beverage space, and talk about where he sees this industry going in the years to come.  KEY TAKEAWAYS What brought Keith out of retirement to start CERIA - and how he began to experiment with CBD and THC-infused beverages. The specific qualifications that define a beverage as beer - and why it's so hard to brew with cannabis in particular. The misunderstandings around cannabis and its effects in beverages - and why Keith is so excited about the new cannabinoids currently being researched and explored.  Why the alcohol Tax and Trade Bureau will likely never approve a cannabis-infused alcoholic beverage, even in the event of federal legalization - and the scientific reasoning behind this. How Keith approximates the buzz of alcohol in dosing his products. Why Keith believes 2022-2025 will be a crucial time for federal legalization.  Show Notes For complete show notes, including transcripts, takeaways, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit SoHoExp.com/11 To learn more about the podcast and get access to all episodes, visit: SoHoExp.com/GreenRepeal

Keith Villa is an unlikely advocate for cannabis-infused non-alcoholic beer. The cerebral PhD with a molecular biology background spent more than three decades working for Coors, with two decades focused on creating and building the Blue Moon brand, and today he approaches the subject of cannabis beer with a scientist’s rigor and a marketer’s soul. In this conversation, he lays the groundwork for his current exploration, discussing the ins and outs of brewing Belgian-style witbiers (from grist composition to mash regimens that lock in stable haze and substantial head), the value of ritual and drama in beer service, and thinking beyond style strictures when envisioning beers. From there, he delves into the new opportunities that blending beer with cannabis provides—utilizing terpenes common to both hops and cannabis to promote certain physiological effects—before finishing with a primer in the process and technical concerns around de-alcoholizing beer.

Craft Brew News – 1/18/19Maryland’s Flying Dog Brewery Hopes to Release Cannabis-Infused BeerPending approval from the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission, Flying Dog Brewery and Green Leaf Medical Cannabis plan to release Hop Chronic IPA, the state of Maryland’s first THC-infused non-alcoholic beer.The two Frederick, Maryland-based companies announced today that they intend to make Hop Chronic available to the state’s medical cannabis patients as an alternative to smoking or vaping as early as this summer.Flying Dog CEO Jim Caruso stated, “For people who don’t want to smoke, don’t want to vape, there’s no path of experiencing the therapeutic benefits,” “It feels good to be a part of creating a delicious IPA where people who want to experience cannabis that way can do that.”However, Flying Dog and Green Leaf face a potential regulatory roadblock as the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission has yet to allow companies to produce or sell edible cannabis products.Nevertheless, Caruso stated that he’s optimistic the product will be approved since similar offerings have already received the go ahead in other states, like Colorado, where Ceria, Inc. founder and Blue Moon creator Keith Villa launched a similar product in December.If approved, Flying Dog would join a number of beer manufacturers that have already entered the cannabis space. Large beer companies such as Anheuser-Busch InBev (Tilray), Constellation Brands (Canopy Growth) and Molson Coors (Hexo) have each struck partnerships with Canadian cannabis companies. Other U.S. beer manufacturers, including Heineken-owned Lagunitas and Craft Brew Alliance (31.4 percent owned by A-B InBev), have experimented or explored the possibility of THC- and CBD-infused beverages.Ballast Point Sets Opening Date for Downtown Disney TaproomA year after announcing plans to open a taproom in Anaheim’s downtown Disney district at the Disneyland Resort, San Diego’s Ballast Point’s brewpub has set an opening date of Wednesday, January 16.The Constellation Brands-owned craft brewery said the new taproom will feature a 3-barrel brewing system and offer more than 50 styles of Ballast Point beer across 100 tap lines.Constellation Brands craft and specialty president Ben Dollard said, via a press release. “This new location also gives our passionate brewing and culinary teams the perfect place to test new and inventive offerings, as we welcome longtime Ballast Point fans and introduce new guests to our brand,” The Disney taproom is Ballast Point’s ninth in the U.S.Braxton Brewing Announces $5 Million ExpansionKentucky’s Braxton Brewing Company has embarked on a $5 million expansion that will include the purchase of the building where its brewery is currently situated, as well as the construction of a rooftop bar and the installation of a new canning line.Braxton co-founder and CEO Jake Rouse said the construction of the new 5,000 sq. ft. rooftop bar would cost about $1.5 million.The craft beer maker, which launched in 2015, will also spend approximately $2 million to acquire the Covington, Kentucky, property where the brewery is located, and another $1.5 million to expand production capabilities.According to Rouse, Braxton made about 17,000 barrels of beer in 2018, up from 11,500 in 2017.

Despite the title, we're getting kind of regular here at Radio Brews News. Once again Matt is not joined by usual co-host Pete Mitcham. Pete's on a family holiday in Europe. We will try and touch base with him at some stage to find out about his trip and get an update on what he's been drinking over there. You can follow Pete's travels on Twitter. We do however have Kevin Hingston, Communications and Media spokesperson with the 2014 Australian National Homebrewing Conference Committee to find out about what's happening with this year's ANHC. Find out more about the Australian National Homebrew Competition on their website. We highly recommend the conference for all homebrewers. Brew Moon Brewing Company's Keith Villa (source MillerCoors) Following on from that we will be playing an interview Matt recorded late last year with Keith Villa, head brewer with Blue Moon Brewing Company, the craft brewing arms of US brewing giant MillerCoors. Blue Moon Belgian White has recently been introduced to Australian through MillerCoors partnership with Coca Cola Amatil. The interview didn't go out while the podcast was on one of its many hiatuses, but as CCA currently ramp up their marketing for Blue Moon, it's a timely one to play now.  The content is still relevant. It's an interesting discussion that includes David Coors, part of the fifth generation of the Coors brewing dynasty, outlining his views of the contemporary beer market.
