Tools of the Trade: Samplin’ Sours at Toolbox Brewing Company

by Justin Guerra Leave a Comment

Vista, California The colors were bright and vibrant. Looking down the row of tasting glasses the hues ranged from tangerine oranges and blood reds to airy greens and dark violets. Not the typical appearance of beer in your average brewery. But this was no average brewery, and the glasses in front of me contained no… [Read More]

by Justin Guerra 2 Comments

Hackettstown, New Jersey Swinging open the door to the Czig Meister Brewery in downtown Hackettstown my expectations were shattered. Having gone to college in the New England craft beer haven of Vermont and now currently living in the microbrew mecca of Colorado I consider myself a beer snob. In the industry New Jersey has often… [Read More]

Denver, Colorado “What can I get for you?” asked the beard clad man behind the bar. “I heard you guys won gold at the Great America Beer Festival?” I asked. “Thats right.” he nodded his head gesturing back over my shoulder. I turned my head and followed his gaze towards the far wall. I was… [Read More]

Joining Society: An Afternoon at Societe Brewing Co.

San Diego, California Moving past a welcome sign out of the bright California sunshine I ducked inside Societe Brewing Co. and let my eyes adjust.  The taproom was small.  Lots of open floor space with a few tables and benches.  The bar extended the length of the far wall and the limited space in the… [Read More]

BBQ, Wedding Bells, and Ugly Sweaters: A Friday Night at Avery Brewing Co.

Boulder, Colorado “Is it always this busy?” I asked the guy manning the tap as I squeezed my way up to the bar. He glanced around the room, seemingly noticing the enormous crowd for the first time. “Yeah” he said with a laugh. “Doesn’t matter the day of the week, as long as it’s warm… [Read More]

Hopped up on Beer – The Heartbeat of the Great American Beer Festival

by Justin Guerra Leave a Comment

Denver, Colorado As I entered with the throngs and masses the energy in the air was palpable.  Like that of a sports championship, a one time rock concert reunion, a final Olympic rivalry showdown.   I streamed along with the crowds through gated doors, past the security and checkpoints and into the massive heart of Denver’s… [Read More]

Congratulations to Our "Out-of-the-Vat" Innovations Contest Winner!

Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing

Innovation: Craft Meal Kits - in partnership with local food artisans (charcuterie, bakery, butcher, farms), Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing created kits providing all of the fresh ingredients to make a delicious meal, and paired them with the brewery's beers and often a local winery.

We applaud Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing's amazing creativity and collaboration with their local food artisans who were also impacted by the shutdown. They not only strengthened their community by joining forces with other craft businesses, but they also gave their loyal customers a new experience with a different menu story each week. Customers were highly engaged and often sent videos or tagged the brewery on social media. Most importantly, the weekly meal kit deliveries throughout their community were a wonderful way to make a personal connection with their customers during the pandemic.

Cheers, Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing! From everyone at Brewery PAK, we wish you continued success!

7C's Winery, Walnut Grove, MO

Innovation: Sunflower Experience - 7 C's Winery created a 2.5 acre Sunflower Field with walking path as an added attraction for visitors.

We celebrate 7C's Winery's innovative spirit! The creation of a safe, outdoor space for their customers and community provided an enjoyable, family-friendly experience during the pandemic. And judging from the incredible turnout of 2,500 visitors during opening week, it was a huge success! To avoid photo bombing and encourage social distancing, groups and families entered at timed intervals. Visitors meandered through the field, enjoying their wine and stopping at the numerous cutouts to take photos against the colorful backdrop of gorgeous sunflowers. 7C's also offered cut flowers and souvenir glasses, enhancing their retail sales, and at the end of the season, they added a "U-Pick" for the edible sunflowers, complete with a recipe for Roasted Sunflower Seeds - yum! The Sunflower Field was such a hit, they are expanding it this year.

Cheers, 7 C's Winery! From everyone at Winery PAK, we wish you continued success!
