House Oakheart and The Castle of Old Oak

The castle of Old Oak can be found amongst the ancient oaks of The Endless Forest, several days' horse ride east of The Sunset Sea and south of Crakehall and the border of The Westerlands. The expansive forest provides natural protection, as well as valuable resources. Old Oak is one of the oldest castles in the Seven Kingdoms, known for its impressive size and strength, and is the seat of House Oakheart. One of the wealthiest families in The Reach, House Oakheart is sworn (begrudgingly, after Ruling Lord Joseph attempted to play both sides of The Reach Civil War, which was quietly discovered and put to rest) to House Tyrell, and are practitioners of The Old Way. They share familial roots primarily with House Rowan and House Meadows, but are still closely associated with the other Old Way Houses.

The advantageous location of Old Oak has made House Oakheart one of the power players in The Reach’s lumber trade. Within the expansive oaks, House Oakheart's woodsmen carefully select mature oak trees for harvesting. These oak trees are felled and prepared for processing, with their trunks cut into logs and beams. They are transported via The Ocean Road to be processed and stored on the coast of The Sunset Sea, where they are later moved by ship to trade locations such as The Shield Islands, The Mouth of The Mander, and The Trout’s Mouth Canal to The River Market. The oak wood harvested from this region is known for its outstanding quality. 

In addition to raw timber, Old Oak and its surrounding villages are well known for several industries pertaining to the famous oak trees: 

Parchment Production

The tanneries and parchment makers of The Reach rely on oak bark, a byproduct of the timber industry within the sprawling forest, for their craft. Oak bark's tannin-rich properties are essential in transforming raw animal hides into fine parchment and leather, prized by scholars, maesters, and scribes who venture to the heart of this ancient forest.

Woodworking Guilds

Old Way master woodworkers harness the abundant oak timber from the forest to create exquisite furniture, intricate carvings, and ornate paneling. Their creations adorn the halls of noble houses. Woodworking guilds flourish within the woodlands surrounding Old Oak, merging craftsmanship with the timeless oak's nobility.

Shipbuilding

House Oakheart’s shipyards along the Sunset Sea benefit greatly from the oak timber harvested within the ancient forest. This prized wood is used to construct magnificent vessels renowned for their strength and seaworthiness, supporting the maritime might and trade dominance of House Tyrell and the Reach.  While House Oakheart does have their own ships, they are not widely known for navy or military presence. They focus on the building and selling of ships, not the using of them. Lord Joseph has made House Oakheart very money and appearance focused — he has always intended to fund wars, not fight in them. 

Apothecary Supplies

Alchemists and apothecaries in the region make use of oak bark and acorns from the ancient forest for their herbal concoctions and potions. Oak bark's medicinal properties are harnessed for remedies, while acorns become essential ingredients for various elixirs and tinctures.

Oakwood Cooperage

Though Old Old has no signature beverage of its own, coopers transform oak staves from The Endless Forest into barrels and casks used for aging and storing wines, ales, and spirits. The tight grain of oak wood imparts unique flavors to these beverages, enhancing their quality. The cooperage industry helps support the production of some of the many libations within The Reach.

15 years in, Everybody's Brewing undergoes a refresh with new labels, a new logo, and several new releases.

Press Release

[White Salmon, WA, March 6th, 2023]. Everybody’s Brewing, a mid-size brewery out of White Salmon, Washington, announced today that it has completed a major rebranding, first unveiled at their pub in White Salmon, WA on March 4th, 2023. 

Everybody’s Brewing was founded in 2008, on the principles of creating the highest quality craft beer, in a space where everyone would feel welcome. While this ethos remains the same, they wanted to elevate their visual presence to match the quality of their product. The full overhaul of their visual identity will be rolled out across all facets of the business, including packaged products, interior design, and online presence. The launch of the rebrand coincides with the release of four new year-round 12oz cans, and two new seasonal 16oz cans. 

“We’ll still be the same Everybody’s,” said Everybody’s Co-Owner Doug Ellenberger, “but we recognize the importance of keeping our branding fun and relevant. The market has changed a lot in the 14 years since we opened, and we’re keeping up with those changes. We feel the new branding will appeal both to our day-one customers, and folks that haven’t yet thought to give us a try.” Says Ellenberger, “We take a lot of pride in the quality of our beer, and we are also really proud of our new look.”

The former branding, designed in 2008, featured a logo of people standing together with beers in hand – a very literal interpretation of “Everybody’s”. Over the years, the logo remained the same while aspects of artwork on their cans slowly, continuously evolved. This slow evolution allowed the company to grow, but they found the products becoming less cohesive over time. The new branding is not only an effort to tighten up their look, but a chance for the company to define and re-iterate who “Everybody’s Brewing” is, and what they stand for.

“We kicked off this project by exploring the mission and voice of our company, which was a really exciting aspect of the process for us.” Says Co-Owner Christine Ellenberger, “It was a chance to sit down and say ‘Okay, we know who we are, but how do we better define that share it with people?’ In the end, the most important thing was that we stay true to our core values: inclusivity, quality, fun, and community.”

The new branding has a clean, but retro feel, and maintains the playful aspect that Everybody’s is known for. This can be exemplified by 12oz cans of their new “Co-Pilot Pilsner”, featuring a joyful, animated dog hanging out the side of a classic pickup truck window.

Their new logo is a flag with an emblazoned “E”, and new slogan boldly states, “Beer For All.”

Ellenberger noted it’s importance, “The flag was kind of an ironic play; traditionally, they’re used to stake claim or ownership someone or something specific, but our flag stakes claim for everybody. We truly believe that craft beer is a community staple, one that everyone should be able to enjoy. Our new slogan drives that home. We make beer for everybody.”

Everybody’s will continue the celebration of their rollout, and your first chance to buy the new cans, at the following events: 

PDX: 3/9 – Belmont Station

Vancouver: 3/10 Ben’s Bottle Shop

Tacoma: 3/14 – Peaks and Pints

Visit Everybodysbrewing.com to further explore the new branding and their new lineup of cans.

About Everybody’s Brewing: Founded in 2008, Everybody’s Brewing sits perfectly nestled on the cliffs of White Salmon, WA, overlooking the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. Inspired by the region’s premium hop and malt production, their beer offerings reflect the ever-changing trends and innovation within the brewing industry. The brewery’s pub features globally-inspired fare with great attention paid to high-quality ingredients and customer experience, with jaw-dropping views of its volcanic neighbor to the south: Mt. Hood.

Food questions for the Muse(s) 

@agentjjkelly​ asked: 🍹 - Your favourite drink? Alcoholic and non-alcoholic. 🍸 - Can you share a good cocktail recipe? ☕ - How do you drink your tea? And your coffee?

🍹 - Your favourite drink? Alcoholic and non-alcoholic.

“Alcoholic: whisky, neat.  Whisky stones are acceptable, ice is not.  Non-alcoholic: tea; my choice of tea depends on mood and the time of day.”

🍸- Can you share a good cocktail recipe?

“Mulled wine/glögg:

Red wine

Port/sherry/hard liquor (esp. vodka or brandy)

- mix as desired

Honey

Orange peel

Ginger

Nutmeg

Cloves

Cinnamon

Cardamom

Allspice

Raisins

Almonds

- add in as desired

Mix ingredients according to taste.  Heat over a low flame/a low temp in a crockpot.  Strain and serve.

I generally have a medium-sized crockpot full of this throughout the holidays.  Cheesecloth is your friend with this.  If you have access to a South Asian market, that’s definitely where you want to go for spices.”

☕ - How do you drink your tea? And your coffee?

“Tea is entirely dependent on the type of tea and when I’m drinking it.  Black blends are usually taken with a little sugar.  Sugar and milk are usually reserved for Earl Grey and sometimes British Breakfast.  Pu-erh and lapsang souchong are taken plain, though I may add sugar to blends based on them.  Green tea and green tea blends are usually taken plain, though there’s a few blends I take with a touch of sugar just to accentuate their natural sweetness.  Herbal tea and rooibos are often taken with a hint of sugar as well, though some blends are delicate enough that I’ll take them plain.  If it’s something non/low-caffeinated that I’m drinking before bed I’ll generally pass on the sugar.  I don’t really do white teas as I just don’t have the palate to properly enjoy them.  

“When it comes to brewing tea, I am incredibly finicky.  I keep a fancy kettle in the office at work so that I can brew water at the proper temperature for the tea in question, and I time my steeping appropriately.  I’m not necessarily a snob when it comes to other people drinking tea, but I am when it comes to my tea.

“Coffee is taken with as much sugar and milk/creamer/non-dairy-creamer as possible.  Flavored creamers are preferred.  Anything to make it not taste like coffee.  Though, honestly, I’ve gravitated away from coffee in general upon realizing that with my ADHD it doesn’t actually do anything to keep me awake.  I never liked the taste anyway, so I’m not crying.”

The European Beer Market: Trends, Opportunities, and Future Prospects

The European beer market is projected to be valued at USD 751.05 billion in 2024, with expectations to grow to USD 961.20 billion by 2029, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.06% over the forecast period from 2024 to 2029.

Market Size and Revenue:

The European beer market is one of the largest globally, with an estimated revenue of over $100 billion annually. Germany, the UK, and Poland lead in terms of production and consumption, but smaller markets like Italy and Spain are rapidly growing, primarily due to a rising interest in craft and premium beers.

Despite challenges from the pandemic and inflation, the sector has shown resilience, with anticipated growth driven by the premiumization of beer and increased interest in low-alcohol and alcohol-free options.

Key Consumer Trends Driving Growth:

Shift to Health-Conscious Options: With a heightened awareness of health, there’s a rising demand for low-alcohol, no-alcohol, and gluten-free beers. Market research indicates that nearly 15% of European consumers now prefer lighter, low-calorie beer alternatives.

Premiumization: As disposable income increases, there’s a trend towards higher-end, premium, and craft beers. Consumers are willing to pay more for quality ingredients, unique flavors, and brands with authentic stories, driving the success of local breweries.

Environmental Sustainability: Consumers are now more eco-conscious, pushing brands toward sustainable practices, such as eco-friendly packaging, reduced water usage, and carbon-neutral brewing processes.

 Major Players and Competitive Landscape:

Europe is home to beer giants like Anheuser-Busch InBev, Heineken, and Carlsberg, which dominate the market. However, independent breweries and craft beer startups have carved a niche, capturing a loyal consumer base that values innovation and unique brewing techniques.

The competition among these large players and independent brewers creates a dynamic landscape, where traditional brands adopt craft techniques, and craft breweries experiment with distribution strategies to reach a wider audience.

Craft Beer Revolution:

Craft beer has become a defining trend across Europe. Countries like the UK and the Netherlands have seen a surge in craft breweries, contributing to over 20% of new product launches in the beer category.

European consumers have an appetite for new flavors, from sour and fruit-flavored brews to innovative ingredients like herbs and spices. This trend has led to the popularity of seasonal and limited-edition craft beers, allowing breweries to keep their offerings fresh and appealing.

Challenges in the Market:

Supply Chain and Production Costs: Rising prices of raw materials like barley and hops, coupled with high energy costs, have led to higher production costs, impacting profit margins for breweries.

Regulatory and Tax Pressures: Various EU countries have stringent alcohol taxes and regulations, which add to the costs and complexities for both established players and new entrants.

Sustainability Goals: While sustainability is crucial, meeting eco-friendly targets can be costly for breweries, especially smaller ones, adding financial strain even as consumers demand greener options.

The Future Outlook:

The European beer market is expected to grow steadily over the next five years, driven by innovation, premiumization, and the adoption of healthier, lower-alcohol options.

Technology in brewing, such as AI for recipe development and automation in production, will enhance efficiency and quality control. This could help breweries cut costs, stay competitive, and meet the growing demand.

Furthermore, as tourism rebounds post-pandemic, traditional beer tourism in places like Belgium and the Czech Republic will attract beer enthusiasts, boosting local economies and fostering cross-border collaborations.

Conclusion: The European beer industry is resilient, adaptable, and ready to face the challenges of a new era. From sustainability initiatives to the rise of health-conscious brews, the market is a blend of tradition and innovation. As it continues to expand, breweries must keep a pulse on consumer trends, adapt to regulatory changes, and find sustainable ways to thrive in this vibrant and competitive landscape.

By source, the malt extract segment is estimated to hold the largest share in the brewing ingredients market

The market includes five major sources: malt extract, adjuncts/grains, hops, beer yeast, and beer additives. The malt extract segment is further bifurcated into standard malt and specialty malts. Brewing-grade malt extracts are made with the highest-quality brewing malts and get additional colors and flavors from using specialty malts. This gives beer the unique character and flavor desired for the particular style brew. These malts often have a longer time in the kiln, at higher temperatures, or get roasted to add depth, complexity, and flavor to the resulting beer. Specialty malts include less in the way of sugars but have a greater influence on the color of the beer. These malts are widely used in craft beers.

By brewery size, the craft brewery is estimated to grow at a higher growth rate in the brewing ingredients market.

According to the Brewers Association, an American craft brewer is a small and independent brewer, where small breweries have an annual production of 6 million barrels of beer or less. The craft brewing industry contributed USD 82.9 billion to the US economy in 2019, with more than 580,000 employees. The average alcohol by volume (ABV) content of a craft beer is 5% to 10%, but some of the most popular craft beers have an ABV of as high as 40%. On the other hand, beer produced in bulk by macro breweries has an ABV of 4% to 6% and as little as 2%. Craft breweries offer different flavors, which allow consumers with different tastes to cater to their preferences. These factors are driving the growth of the craft brewery segment in the global market.

The increasing demand for beers in the Asia Pacific countries drives the region's growth rate at a higher pace.

The Asia Pacific region comprises two high-growth economies: India and China. The drinking preferences of the population in this region are gradually shifting toward alcoholic culture. The large, increasing population and the growing market mean that the demand for brewing ingredients is still promising. Another factor is the densely populated areas that are not completely tapped by beer manufacturing and brewing ingredient companies. Hence, beer produced in macro breweries and craft breweries still has a high-growth rate. Moreover, the increasing spending capacity of consumers has led to a surge in demand for craft beers. There has been an emergence of various craft breweries in countries such as India over the last few years.

Starting a microbrewery in India is an exciting venture, especially with the growing demand for craft beers across the country. However, one of the most critical aspects of starting a brewery is understanding the costs involved. Planning your budget accurately can set your brewery on the path to success. In this article, we’ll dive deep into understanding the Microbrewery Plant Cost in India and how you can plan your budget effectively to ensure a smooth start.

1. What is a Microbrewery?

A microbrewery is a small-scale brewery that focuses on producing craft beers in limited quantities. Unlike large commercial breweries, microbreweries offer more unique and often experimental flavors to cater to niche markets.

2. Why Start a Microbrewery in India?

India is seeing a surge in the popularity of craft beers, with urban areas like Bangalore, Delhi, and Mumbai being hubs for beer lovers. Starting a microbrewery allows you to cater to a growing consumer base that values quality and variety over mass-produced beer.

3. Understanding the Cost Factors

The Microbrewery Plant Cost in India isn’t just a fixed number—it depends on several variables. Let's break down the main cost components.

4. Initial Setup Costs

This is often the biggest chunk of your budget. It includes:

Equipment: The brewing equipment like fermenters, kettles, and cooling systems.

Location: Renting or purchasing a space.

Licenses and Permits: You need multiple licenses to operate a brewery in India.

5. Equipment Costs

The equipment you need to start brewing can vary significantly based on the size and scale of your microbrewery. The cost of essential brewing equipment in India generally ranges from INR 50 lakh to INR 2 crore depending on the production capacity.

6. Infrastructure and Location Costs

Your location plays a significant role in determining costs. Renting a space in a metropolitan area like Mumbai or Delhi will be more expensive than in smaller cities. Infrastructure, including plumbing, electricity, and ventilation systems, is another major expense, often ranging between INR 30 lakh to INR 1 crore.

7. Licensing and Regulatory Fees

Starting a microbrewery requires multiple permits and licenses in India, which can add a considerable cost to your budget. These include:

Liquor license: Typically costing between INR 5 lakh to INR 15 lakh, depending on the state.

GST registration and FSSAI license: Additional government permits that are mandatory for a microbrewery.

8. Ingredient and Operational Costs

Ongoing operational costs, such as ingredients (malts, hops, and yeast), labor, and utilities, are recurring expenses that need to be factored into your budget. Ingredient costs vary but usually account for about 20-30% of the final beer price.

9. Labor Costs

Hiring skilled brewers, bartenders, and maintenance staff is essential to running a successful microbrewery. Labor costs can range between INR 5 lakh to INR 20 lakh annually, depending on the size of your brewery.

10. Marketing and Branding

Setting up your microbrewery is only half the battle; marketing it effectively is essential for growth. The cost of marketing, including social media campaigns, promotions, and branding, could be around INR 2 lakh to INR 10 lakh annually.

11. Maintenance and Utility Costs

Your microbrewery will require regular maintenance to ensure smooth operations. Equipment servicing, electricity, and water usage contribute to ongoing operational costs, typically INR 2 lakh to INR 5 lakh annually.

12. Miscellaneous Costs

Other expenses such as insurance, furniture, and interior design can add up, with costs ranging from INR 10 lakh to INR 30 lakh.

13. Return on Investment (ROI)

A microbrewery's profitability depends on its size and location. In general, many microbreweries in India report an ROI within 2-3 years, provided they maintain high-quality beer production and effective marketing.

14. Budgeting for Expansion

It’s always wise to leave room in your budget for future expansion. As your microbrewery gains popularity, you may want to increase production or open additional taprooms. Setting aside funds for potential growth is a good strategy for long-term success.

15. Financing Options for Microbrewery Startups

Since starting a microbrewery involves a hefty investment, securing financing is crucial. Several banks and NBFCs offer business loans specifically for microbreweries. Additionally, you can explore venture capital or crowd-funding options to cover costs.

Conclusion

The Microbrewery Plant Cost in India is influenced by various factors, from equipment to location and permits. Proper planning and budgeting are essential to ensure the success of your microbrewery. By understanding all the expenses and preparing accordingly, you can set your brewery on the path to profitability.

Malt Beverages Market Size To Reach $1,300.60 Billion By 2030

The global malt beverages market size is expected to reach USD 1,300.60 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Since the 1990s, flavored malt beverages (FMBs) have evolved significantly from pioneers like Mike's Hard Lemonade and Zima, which introduced the concept of neutral malt base (NMB) to create a sweeter and more approachable alternative to traditional beer and spirits. This innovation has led to the growth of a dynamic and diverse category that continues to captivate consumers. The category now includes various types of malt beverages such as traditional beer, hard seltzers, hard teas, hard sodas, and ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails, each offering unique flavor profiles that cater to a wide range of preferences. This variety has played a crucial role in maintaining the relevance and popularity of FMBs among a broad audience.

One of the key trends propelling the demand for FMBs  is the growing consumer preference for healthier ingredients and lower-calorie options. Hard seltzers, for instance, have gained immense popularity by marketing themselves as "Better For You" products, often highlighting their lower calorie and carbohydrate content compared to traditional beers. This shift towards healthier alternatives is reflective of broader health and wellness trends influencing the beverage industry. Additionally, the convenience factor of RTD cocktails and other FMBs aligns well with the modern consumer's fast-paced lifestyle, offering a quick and easy way to enjoy a flavorful alcoholic beverage without the need for extensive preparation.

The global beer market is experiencing robust growth, with a significant surge in the popularity of craft beer, driven by millennials and Gen Z. Independent breweries are leading innovation, offering diverse flavors and styles. This trend bodes well for malt beverages, as the demand for unique, high-quality, and locally crafted options rises. Large beer manufacturers are expanding their portfolios through strategic acquisitions, catering to evolving consumer preferences. The craft beer movement's emphasis on variety and quality is expected to bolster the overall demand for malt beverages in the coming years.

The rising popularity of non-alcoholic beer presents a significant growth opportunity for the malt beverages market. As more consumers embrace healthier lifestyles and the "sober curious" movement, both craft and macro-breweries are expanding their non-alcoholic offerings. This shift reflects an increasing demand for diverse, high-quality malt beverages that cater to those seeking the social experience of beer without alcohol. The growing popularity of non-alcoholic beer is opening new opportunities in the malt beverages market. Prominent players like Molson Coors with Blue Moon, Diageo with Guinness, Constellation Brands with Corona, Heineken, and AB InBev with Bud Zero are entering this segment , showcasing a strong market shift. The category in the U.S. now has around 150 non-alcoholic U.S. brands, reflecting its solid footing and expansion.

In July 2024, Athletic Brewing Company, a notable non-alcoholic brewery in the U.S., secured USD 50 million in an equity financing round spearheaded by General Atlantic, a top global growth investor, along with several existing investors. Athletic intends to utilize the new funds to foster sustained long-term growth, which includes acquiring a third brewing facility in the U.S. and expanding its non-alcoholic beer presence in retailers worldwide.

Malt Beverages Market Report Highlights

Alcoholic malt beverages accounted for a significant share of the market in 2023. These are in demand due to the consistent trend of premiumization within the beer industry, where consumers are willing to trade up for higher-end, limited-release products. This willingness to invest in premium offerings, combined with a shift back towards affordable light beers from RTD consumers, is bolstering the popularity of malt beverages.

Demand for non-alcoholic malt beverages is expected to grow rapidly from 2024 to 2030 as more breweries introduce premium no-alcohol options. Growing consumer interest in these beverages, particularly at higher price points, drives this trend.

The market for hard seltzer is expected to rise rapidly from 2024 to 2030. This is due to its appeal to health-conscious consumers seeking low-calorie, refreshing beverages with a lower alcohol content. Additionally, the product's broad, gender-neutral marketing strategy and alignment with wellness trends and lifestyle experiences drive its popularity.

Sales of malt beverages through on-trade channels accounted for the majority of the market share in 2023.This channel, which includes pubs, bars, and restaurants, is significant because it provides a social environment where consumers can enjoy drinks responsibly, fostering a sense of community and enhancing the cultural experience of beer consumption.

The Asia Pacific malt beverages market is expected to grow rapidly from 2024 to 2030. This is due to the growing popularity of premium and imported beers, especially among younger consumers. This trend is driven by an increasing interest in diverse and niche flavors, with global brewers expanding their presence to capitalize on the region's evolving tastes.

Customization

Coffee vending machines allow businesses to offer a variety of coffee options to employees and customers. These machines can generate revenue for the business, and they can also help boost employee productivity and create a welcoming environment. These machines can also be used to offer other hot beverages, such as tea and hot chocolate.

A good coffee machine should be easy to operate and provide a wide selection of options. It should have a cup sensor, a brewing system, and a dispenser. This ensures that only the correct amount of product is dispensed. It should also have a convenient payment method, and it should be compatible with a variety of currencies.

Many modern coffee machines are now integrating advanced technology to improve the user experience. They can accept credit cards and mobile payments, allowing people to get their drinks quickly and conveniently. They also include a touchscreen interface and precise ingredient controls. This allows users to customize their drinks, and they can also choose from a range of different sizes.

Vending machines consume a significant amount of power to operate, but manufacturers are increasingly incorporating energy-efficient features to reduce their environmental impact. Some of these features include a built-in water filtration and treatment system that minimizes the use of bottled or pre-treated water in the brewing process.

In order to reduce the carbon footprint of these machines, some manufacturers implement sustainable logistics by optimizing delivery routes or utilizing fuel-efficient vehicles. Similarly, they promote responsible waste management by providing guidelines for proper cleaning and maintenance of the machines.

Maintenance

A coffee vending machine requires regular maintenance to ensure that the system runs smoothly and efficiently. A trained technician can detect subtle signs of wear and tear that would escape a casual glance, preventing larger problems that can disrupt service. The technician can also inspect and test sensors to guarantee accurate product dispensing. They can also clean the dispensing mechanisms to prevent clogs and malfunctions.

The water filter needs to be replaced regularly to maintain optimal performance and prevent impurities that affect taste. The dispensing nozzles should also be cleaned monthly to avoid clogs and ensure smooth coffee flow. A professional can also perform a thorough deep cleaning to eliminate mineral deposits and prevent future issues.

Another important aspect of maintenance is keeping accurate records of all inspections and maintenance activities. Detailed logs can help identify recurring issues and anticipate when components may need replacement. They can also be helpful when submitting warranty or insurance claims. Using mobile forms to capture these reports can simplify the process and reduce time spent on paperwork.

Vending machines that accept cash, credit cards, and mobile payments need to be tested on a frequent basis to make sure that the systems are working properly. This will help reduce downtime and improve overall customer satisfaction.
