New heat pump technology cutting energy and CO2 emissions
A pioneering heat pump project at a Sussex brewery is helping it to radically reduce energy use and costs – promising to slash bills for wort boiling by more than 65 percent.

Now Available: 3-Hour Sake Tour for Large Groups in Kyoto with Kizakura Fushimigura Brewery
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new 3-hour sake experience designed specifically for larger groups, made possible through our partnership with Kizakura Fushimigura Brewery in Fushimi, Kyoto.

Visit a Working Modern Sake Brewery Kizakura Fushimigura represents the modern era of sake brewing.Unlike historical museums, this is an active production facility, where guests can observe real brewing equipment through glass walls and gain insight into […] 投稿 Now Available: 3-Hour Sake Tour for Large Groups in Kyoto with Kizakura Fushimigura Brewery は Kyoto Insider Sake Experience に最初に表示されました。

She Asked, “Can We Go To The Castle?”
Dream Big Or Go Home Wine lovers aren’t born, they’re created, and this is my story of how it simply seems to happen. Ask any nursing mother to prove me wrong, we plant seeds, nurture them, and watch them grow. It’s like cultivating orchids, we use our gawd-given intuition and they bloom beautifully.

805 Beer Raises a Cold One to What Lasts
Firestone Walker has officially unveiled a new national campaign for 805 Beer titled “Long Live Cold Beer,” and from the details alone, it feels like a thoughtful nod to what beer has always done best—show up at the right moment. I haven’t seen the campaign yet, but after reading through the announcement, this looks less like a flashy rebrand and more like a statement of values. Long Live Cold Beer positions beer not as something that needs reinvention, but as a reward—earned, shared, and enjoyed without pretense. The focus is on simplicity: cold beer after honest work, meaningful moments, and connection rather than spectacle. The campaign makes its national debut during X Games broadcasts on ABC and ESPN , with a broader rollout across World Surf League platforms , including Pipeline. From there, it expands into out-of-home placements, retail, and live experiences nationwide—very much meeting people where beer culture already exists. One of the most interesting creative choices is the

New Regulations Coming!
By Doug Fabbioli New state representatives are coming to Richmond, and discussions have started about the laws regulating restrictions on farm wineries here in Virginia. The law was actually crafted with major input and approval from the Virginia Wineries Association to protect the integrity of the wine industry. The changes have a 5-year period to get wineries in compliance and there is no grandfather rule. We are 3 years into this transition period so changes are beginning to happen. The goal is to keep farming in the Virginia farm wine industry. Over the past decade or so, several farm winery licenses have been approved for venues and businesses that are not actually farming. These venues end up being businesses in the countryside with no connection between the land and the products that they serve. The main regulation that will affect some operations is the requirement to have 3 acres of crops that go into your products. This level is where most businesses will land. They can lease

Dance with my Father
I make no apologies for repeating this post, as 1 February is a date I can never ever forget. This year sees the 25th anniversary. In some ways it seems like yesterday - how can it be 25 years? We are singing Dance with My Father for our choir summer concert and that is difficult to sing especially with a day like today. I suspect, should I ever die and they need to perform a post-mortem on me, they'll find the First of February 2001 etched in my brain like a stick of Brighton rock. It is a date I shall never ever forget. In mid December 2000, I had been told I needed an urgent hysterectomy operation. I had developed a large mass in my womb. If I lay face-down on a hard floor playing a board game or doing a jigsaw with Kay, I could feel it digging in to me. The consultant gynaecologist I went to see was fairly hopeful it was a benign fibroid but because of its large size, could not rule out it was something malignant. He nee
