Track Brewing Co. Sunny Side Up 6.5% IPA This is a smile-inducing 6.5% IPA cranked up with a whopping hit of Strata, Idaho 7 & El Dorado. Zippy orange, peach Melba & apricot jam take the lead on the flavour front whilst the soft bitterness takes care of you at the finish.

In the wake of economic destruction, consumers are rallying for the little guy. In many areas of their lives, people are hesitating when they reach for brand names and saying, ‘maybe I’ll try something local.’

Make that your opportunity to become a staple in their beer rotation.

29 WHO OWNS WHO…?

This Week in Craft Beer is dedicated to supporting and promoting Independent UK Craft Breweries and the ecosystem surrounding them.

We define Independent as being those breweries who are not wholly or partly owned by a macro brewery. A macro brewery is generally defined as a large, national or international brewery that produces and distributes more than 6 million barrels of beer per year.

Getting a new brewery off the ground is an expensive business, so most have external shareholders in some shape or form, whether through friends and family, crowdfunding, or some other form of investment. In our opinion, this does not compromise their independence, as long as the shareholder is not a macro brewery.

Why does this matter?

Having a Macro as a parent company (even a minority shareholder), gives the brewery huge advantages of patronage, including access to cheaper or scarce ingredients, access to distribution networks, access to points of sale including draft taps and pub fridges etc. For example, in 2017 ABInbev bought the entire South African hop market for its own use and denied access to all independent breweries.

30 SMALL BREWER’S RELIEF PETITION

SMALL CRAFT BREWER’S NEED YOUR HELP!

Small Brewer’s Relief (SBR) was introduced in 2002 and was designed to encourage growth in the UK brewing sector. It gives a 50% discount on beer duty to breweries making under 5,000 hectolitres a year and offers tapered relief up to 60,000 hl.

In July, the government announced it would lower the 50% threshold to 2,100 hl in 2022, increasing duty rates for at least 150 breweries. (2,100hl is roughly 1,000 pints a day).

This will severely impact many of small Independent Craft Breweries who This Week in Craft Beer are dedicated in supporting.

Please sign this petition and get your friends and family to do the same!
