Craft Beer Production Abstract As the market demand for craft brewed beer continues to grow, small brewers are continuing to crop up to meet the demand. With the increasing number of small breweries also comes an increasing number of brewery closings—more than 80 since 2010. While the brewing process fundamentals can be mastered with little technical knowledge, the key to a prosperous brewery is optimizing the use of all resources in the process, especially considering rising energy costs. New brewing operations often have the choice between building their own facility from scratch, or contracting their brewing operations to an established facility. This project recommends a design for a craft brewery (BASH Brewing Co.) producing 13 varieties of beer with a 100,000 bbl/year total production capacity. The recommended design minimizes the use of external utilities by maximizing the heat integration of process streams. Rigorous economic analysis to determine the profitability of the process design was performed. The startup and operations costs for building an independent facility following this design were calculated, and from this a reasonable rate for contract brewing was determined. It was found that the construction of an independent facility would require a total permanent investment of $68MM and have a net present value (NPV) of $26MM with an internal rate of return (IRR) of 20.96% in the present year. To achieve the same returns, it was determined that contract brewing would only be a more economically viable option if the contracted production price is less than $8.72/gallon of beer.

Between 1880 and 1920, these groups gained public interest in their own way. The liquor interests defended their industries against politicians, religious leaders, and social reformers, but ultimately failed. While current historical scholarship links the different liquor industries together, the beer industry constantly worked to distinguish itself from other alcoholic beverages.

  • “Craft” Beer's Competitiveness in Bulgaria
    IZVESTIYA 2016 Vol. 60 Journal of Varna University of Economics №1 PRICE ASPECTS OF “CRAFT” BEER’S COMPETITIVENESS IN BULGARIA Yordan IVANOV1 JEL M30, M39 Abstract “Craft” beer is a special part of the “Wine production” class which attracts even more consumers in the last couple of years. The oppor- tunity for an informed choice of a product or service that satisfies specific needs of consumers shifts the focus from the low price to the product of high value for which it must be paid. The goal of this article is to empirically develop the determinants that influence the choice of “Craft” beer based on theoretically proven determinants of competitiveness of price. The scientific tasks can be summarized as: developing the determinants that form the value accepted and theoreti- cal motivation of its relation with price flexibility; theoretical motiva- tion of the relation between price flexibility and price competitive- Keywords: ness; empirical development of the key determinants of price competi- prices, value, rela- tiveness of the “Craft” beer in Bulgaria. In this paper there are used tionships, clients, the methods of analysis and synthesis, surveys through questionnaires, competitiveness. statistical methods, market research and others. Introduction At the onset of the second decade of XXI C there started a wave of developing new “micro” and “small” enterprises in class C.11.05 “Beer production”. Despite the competitive pressure from leaders in the branch they adapt successfully and establish themselves on the market by managing to attract more real clients. While looking for advantages, they are forced to offer their clients a unique product through which to justify its higher price.

  • A New Packaging for Zagorka
    Press release A new packaging for Zagorka Heineken entrusts P.E.T. Engineering the development of the new packaging for its Zagorka, the only "special" beer of Bulgaria. San Vendemiano, 07th May 2015 – Zagorka, part of the Heineken Group, is the heir of centuries of devotion to excellence of the big brewers, excellence to which was added a touch of originality that has enabled it to become the only "special "beer in Bulgaria. Zagorka is the beer of a less ordinary taste characterized by a distinctive bitterness and a rich aroma, the result of the perfect balance of two different types of hops: these characteristics make it particularly appreciated by young people between 20 and 30 years who love to experience all that life can offer. The brand therefore needed to associate a less ordinary taste to an equally distinctive packaging that would strengthen the shelf impact and allow to visually align the PET packaging of 1 and 2 liters to the smaller sizes of glass and aluminium. The new design of Zagorka, developed by the Design Center of P.E.T. Engineering, gives the brand a more distinctly masculine connotation through a robust shape and the inclusion of two majestic lions on the body of the bottle, a metaphor for the pride of the Bulgarian people and a reference to the nation in which this special beer is brewed. The labels located in the upper part of the container allow immediate recognition within a range of bottles that show large labels in the central part or thin ones in the lower one.

  • HISTORY of BEER (Stolen from Papazian, Miller, Jackson and Others)
    HISTORY OF BEER (Stolen from Papazian, Miller, Jackson and others) You wouldn’t go into a restaurant and say, “I’ll have a plate of food, please”. People do not ask simply for "a glass of wine.” They’ll specify, at the very least, whether they would like red or white, and they usually order by style and vineyard. Yet these same discerning people often ask simply for “a beer” or perhaps a name brand without thinking about its suitability for the occasion or if the style compliments their meal. The similarities between wines and beers are far greater than their differences. Wines begin with fruits, usually grapes, while beers start with grain, usually barley. Both are made by fermentation and many of the flavor compounds, naturally formed, are shared between them. Distill wine and you have brandy, distill beer and you make whiskey. People who drink only the most conventional beers have failed to understand that there are different brews for each mood, moment or purpose. Before I get into the history of beer, it’s important that you know what beer is and how it’s made. So, very briefly, Beer is made from only four ingredients - 1) Water, 2) Barley, 3) Hops and 4) Yeast. The malted barley is slurried with warm water to form the "mash". This mash converts the barley’s starches to sugars. The sugar water is strained from the grain and brought to a boil. Hops are added to offset the sweetness (sort of like seasoning the beer). Yeast converts the sugars to alcohol and CO2 by fermentation.

U. Prereq: None. Jr. standing; satisfaction of OWC-A GER COURSE DESCRIPTION: Beer has been at the center of many movements in American history. Beer and brewing have been caught up in vast social upheavals including immigration, technological revolutions, urbanization and industrialization, changing family and gender roles, moral reform campaigns, evolving views on race and class, and changing ideas about place and connectivity. Beer has been a nutritionally vital home-brewed food staple, an anchor for community socialization, and a symbol of social identity. This course will use the history of beer and brewing as a means to chart many of the dramatic changes in American society. We will begin with the first maize beer brewed by Native Americans of the Southwest and continue through the introduction of barley and wheat beer by the first European settlers. We will discuss beer and brewing in Colonial America and trace its regionally diverse development in the United States. We will explore why beer became big business and how Milwaukee became the most important brewing city in the world. We will discuss the legacy of prohibition and the major changes to the brewing industry in the past few decades. This course considers the historic role of beer in defining identities and practices across America. COURSE
