    FRANK B.FUHRER WHOLESALE COMPANY July and August Newsletter By Mike Pomranz How Will Coronavirus Impact Craft Beer? Updated June 23, 2020 Brewers Association predictions suggest small brewers need your support now more than ever. For generations, in times of stress, beer has offered an outlet: a chance to relax and a chance to socialize. Unfortunately, in these stressful times of social distancing, quarantines, and bar closures, 7/01/2020 the coronavirus has stripped beer of half its powers: It can still intoxicate, but it shouldn’t socially lubricate. So the question becomes what does that mean for the brewing industry? Clearly, fewer Inside this issue: people will be going out to drink, but will more people be stockpiling at home? And what about smaller breweries that rely on taproom sales? COORS/DIAGEO/ 2-5 Yesterday, Bart Watson—chief economist for the craft beer trade group the Brewers Association BOSTON DIVISION (BA)—weighed in on “The Coming Economic Challenges Facing Craft Brewers.” Despite the title of his analysis, his assessment was about as upbeat as things can be at a time when entire industries are YUENGLING/ 6-13 at risk of getting decimated. Two things appear to work in beer’s advantage: One, it’s the kind of IMPORT/ CRAFT item some people may want to be well-stocked with during an emergency, and two, even in times of ANHUESER 14-18 economic trouble, people don’t necessarily give up their brewskis. BUSCH DIVISION Of course, on-premise sales at bars, restaurants, and breweries are in trouble, and Watson didn’t pull BREWERY NEWS 19-23 any punches, saying sales “are certain to fall.” And yet, for breweries that package their beer, “the short-term effects may be more mixed.” “Some consumers may actually buy more beer as they prepare to self-isolate,” he writes.

Parties, F beers and even local grocery store celebrations carry the Oktoberfest label now. Read on to learn more about where it started and what it’s all about. MUNICH: THE ORIGINAL It started as a horse race to celebrate the wedding of Bavarian King Ludwig I to Theresie of Saxe- Hildburghausen in 1810, according to Oktoberfest.de, the official website of the Munich celebration. That race became an annual event that evolved into today’s Oktoberfest, a celebration of good German beer and fun rides. The festival, which lasts around 20 days, attracts more than six million people now and has spread around the world. THE BEER No matter where they’re held, Oktoberfest is all about beer. In Munich, the beer served is usually a little stron- ger than usual and is usually served eine Maß (eyen mazz), or in a liter. The varieties served are Augustiner, Paulaner, Spaten-Franziskaner, Löwebräu, Hacker-Pschorr and Hofbräu. In 2017, more than seven million liters of beer were consumed in Munich. And if you go, don’t take the mugs. More than © ADOBE STOCK 100,000 mugs were confiscated at festival and tent exits last serve pork, chicken or oxen.

  • Oktoberfest: More Than a Wedding Party | Serious Eats Oktoberfest: More Than a Wedding Party
    3/30/2021 Oktoberfest: More Than a Wedding Party | Serious Eats Oktoberfest: More Than a Wedding Party LISA GRIMM Munich's Oktoberfest began not as a beer festival, but with a royal wedding—on October 12, 1810, Crown Prince Ludwig I of Bavaria married Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen, and Bavaria rejoiced—after all, he would not be forced to abdicate for another 38 years (after an aair with renowned Irish actress/dancer/courtesan Lola Montez )—and everyone in Munich was invited by the Bavarian National Guard to enjoy the ve-day party. The eld in which most events were held became known as Theresienwiese, in honor of the princess. In fact, it was so much fun (and remuneratively rewarding for Munich's city fathers) that it was decided to celebrate the royal couple's anniversary each year in similar style. The initial draw for the annual festivities was not the beer, but the horse racing—in fact, food and drink stalls did not become standard practice until 1818. Things did not really become organized until the late nineteenth century, when some of the other instantly familiar elements of Munich's Oktoberfest arrived to the party—wearing traditional lederhosen and dirndls began in 1887 . While these other changes were taking place, beer (which had been served from informal tents and stalls for many years, occasionally as a highlight, but often as just part of the scenery) began to move to the fore. Beginning in 1896, Munich's major breweries began ocially sponsoring semi-permanent beer halls ; only beer brewed within the city limits was allowed to be served.
