Russian Beer Market Plummets
The Russian beer market is on a steady decline, with Heineken reporting double digit losses in 2016 as well as Carlsberg. This is slightly humorous considering beer wasn’t even classified as alcoholic in Russia until 2011.
Brewers Against Scott Pruitt
33 craft breweries teamed up to sign a letter urging senators to vote against Scott Pruitt’s appointment as leader of the EPA. The breweries are all a part of the Brewers for Clean Water organization and don’t believe Scott Pruitt will protect America’s water resources.
Horny Beer
