  • Small Beer, Big Flavour!
    Small Beer, Big Flavour! One day in a pub, where all good ideas come from, after a pint or two, Felix James and James Grundy were bemoaning the fact that it was next to impossible to get a beer around 2% ABV. ‘I was fed up with beers designed to blow your head off. All we wanted was a good tasting beer that wasn’t necessarily a mad craft beer’. Since that day 5 years ago, the pair have designed and built a unique brewery and made beer of 1% to 2.7% in alcohol content something to choose rather than a desperation purchase. So where did it all begin? Felix became involved in brewing at Mortlake and then Fuller’s. But it wasn’t beer that brought the pair together, rather gin. The pair met at Sipsmiths, the gin makers, where Felix was the head of ops and James was the head of sales. It was playing about on Felix’s 1.5 barrel brewing kit every weekend for a year that turned, what they both thought was a bit of a joke, into something they thought had a future. The next step was getting the money, which they did through a small panel of investors. This enabled them to buy a 30 barrel plant, so they not exactly starting small, although their original 1.5 barrel plant is still proudly on display in the corner and, Felix said, it is still used from time to time for a test brew. The brewing kit is in a cavernous industrial unit, with high ceiling, a balcony with a meeting room and another unit next door for offices.

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Jörg Rupf dated July 11, 2015.

Pellegrin, Jr.* I. INTRODUCTION In 2013, the taps opened on Texas’ craft beer industry.1 New beer producers, new investors, and new consumers poured into the widening market hoping to capitalize on craft beer’s new popularity. Around the Country, engineers, lawyers, and other professionals quit their careers to rush into the new craft beer market, going from brewing beer by the liter in their garages to opening massive operations producing thousands of barrels of beer per year.2 Since 2013, Texas became the 8th largest producer of craft beer in the Country, and the economic impact for the State generated by the craft beer industry totals more than $4.5 billion, the 3rd highest in the Nation.3 *Candidate for Juris Doctor, 2019, Baylor University School of Law; B.A. Economics, 2016, Baylor University. I would first like to thank every craft beer manufacturer and alcohol distributor that kindly gave their time to give me a glimpse into this vast industry. Next, I would like to thank my fellow law student, Abigail Griffith, for bringing this issue to my attention and encouraging me to pursue this topic. Also, I want to thank Professor Ron Beal for the incredible encouragement and guidance he gave me when writing this comment. Finally, I cannot thank the staff of the Baylor Law Review enough for their diligent work editing this comment.

FRAGA* Following the enactment of Prohibition, it took the United States almost four decades to legalize homebrewing. Subsequently, the nation experienced a booming interest in beer. And not just beer, but good beer. Drinkers found them- selves invested in both quality and variety. This interest has matured into the craft beer industry. Even in holdover states, where state laws prohibited homebrewing far past 1979, the craft beer industry has experienced near exponential growth following the legalization of homebrewing. This has resulted in significant economic implications. Given these consider- ations, nations with restrictive homebrewing laws, like Ja- pan, should consider easing them.
