Roger Protz<\/strong> has the exclusive:<\/a> “The (Bass) brewing museum and visitor centre in Burton-on-Trent has been saved and will reopen in 2010, possibly as early as Easter. This major victory is the result of a sustained campaign by beer lovers, brewery workers, the local MP and the Burton daily newspaper.”<\/p>\n

Molson Coors<\/strong> had announced it would close the museum and historic brewery.<\/p>\n

The key attraction will be a working 30-barrel brewery run by Steve Wellington, who currently runs the on-site White Shield Brewery. Visitors will see beer being made and the brews — all cask-conditioned beers — will go on sale commercially.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

– The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review<\/em> reports that Tom Pastorius, founder and former CEO of the Pennsylvania Brewing Co.<\/strong>, has been assured a $300,000 loan that will allow him to buy back Penn Brewing.<\/a><\/p>\n

“I’m very optimistic” the deal to buy the business will be complete in December,” Pastorius said. “We need to brew some beer. Christmas is coming.”<\/p>\n

Pastorius sold the business to Birchmere Capital in 2003. Birchmere since closed the brewery — although the equipment is said to be intact inside — and has the brands brewed under contract at the Lion Brewery in Wilkes-Barre.<\/p>\n

– This factoid from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>: Budweiser sells for about eight times more<\/strong> than that of local Chinese beers, according to Anheuser-Busch InBev global advertising director Andrew Sneyd. He said one reason may be that the American brand seems to represent the American dream<\/a>, which resonates with many hard-working and ambitious Chinese consumers.<\/p>\n
