Custom Beer-Layering Spoons Give Brew Businesses Revenue and Style

Author: JMB Brewcraft LLC
Dateline: Brownsville, Texas (BROWNSVILLE, Texas)  | Mon, 28 Mar 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Guinness and Bass have customized beer-layering tools and now, thanks to JMB Brewcraft, other breweries, pubs, beer festivals and more will also have a cool, new item to share with their brew-buying public: the all new, customizable black and tan spoon.”



A R T I C L E:

Guinness® and Bass have customized beer-layering tools and now, thanks to JMB Brewcraft, other breweries, pubs, beer festivals and more will also have a cool, new item to share with their brew-buying public: the all new, customizable black and tan spoon.

"These custom-layering spoons each bear the buyer's logo stamped on the handle and serve as terrific marketing tools," says James M. Beale, CEO of JMB Brewcraft. "They also help brew businesses to get the edge on their competition."

Made in the U.S.A., these black and tan spoons make any bartender look like the beer-layering equivalent of Tom Cruise in "Cocktail." Making a black and tan or other beer-layered drink is as easy as 1-2-3, even when pouring four at a time.

And these custom bar tools are designed to help any beer-related business turn a profit. The wholesale cost ranges from around $5 to $12 per spoon; the more ordered, the lower the price. Businesses can easily double their money by retailing them for $15 to $20 each. JMB Brewcraft is taking wholesale custom orders of 1,000 units or more.

JMB Brewcraft designs these black and tan spoons with quality in mind. They are manufactured from solid 1/16-inch, high-grade stainless steel and then hand polished to a high finish. They are dishwasher safe and come individually packaged in classy black-velour drawstring bags.

When hung in a pint glass, the bowl of this patent-pending spoon (U.S. patent: 12/789,329) rests at the midpoint of the glass to ensure optimal layering every time.

Bill Balaschi of Boston, who purchased some of these beer-layering spoons said, "What a hit these spoons have been. I gave one to my brother-in-law, a real Irishman, and he loved it. I also brought the spoon to a hard-core St. Patrick's Day party and I quickly became the 'designated pourer.' The spoon worked flawlessly every time. Once people see them in action, they're sold."

Coffee Lovers Rejoice! The World’s Finest Coffee is Available Just in Time for the Holidays

Author: EarthBee Foods
Dateline: Jacksonville, Florida (JACKSONVILLE, Fla.)  | Tue, 23 Nov 2010

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “As seen in the Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman movie, The Bucket List, EarthBee Foods is proud to announce its launch of 100 percent Civet Coffee - KapePur - undeniably the world's finest coffee.”



A R T I C L E:

As seen in the Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman movie, The Bucket List, EarthBee Foods is proud to announce its launch of 100 percent Civet Coffee - KapePur - undeniably the world's finest coffee. So, what makes this the world's finest coffee? First, these Filipino coffee beans are ingested by a cat-like animal - the Asian Palm Civet.

While inside the civet's body, the beans undergo physical and chemical changes similar to a form of fermentation. Once they've been "deposited" on the jungle floor, the beans are collected by EarthBee's Filipino-farmer partners and prepped for shipment.

According to expert coffee tasters in New Orleans, this 100 percent Civet coffee delivers a rich and smooth flavor, unlike any other on the market today. It has chocolaty, nutty undertones and no bitterness due to reduced protein content.

"And, we would not be able to deliver such an amazing product to our customers without the partnerships that we've developed with regional farmers in Mindanao - the second largest and southernmost island in the Philippines and home to our Civet coffee beans," says Ben Johnson, Director of Partnership Cultivation for EarthBee Foods.

In the spirit of the holidays, sales of this unique coffee directly benefit the impoverished people of Mindanao.

"We have already made several corporate sales to banks and large law firms," adds Johnson. "These are companies that want to provide that 'wow' factor to its clients, and at the same time benefit the greater good."

Since only 300 to 500 pounds of this coffee are produced each year, KapePur would be a rare and unique experience for any coffee lover. EarthBee Foods has designed two premium packages. The first retails for $92 and includes a beautiful collectible gift box; full-color storybook; a two-ounce bag of KapePur coffee; and a Bodum, three-cup French press. The second gift packet has the same items, but includes four ounces of coffee and retails for $137. Prices include domestic shipping and a certificate of authenticity.

Big Bay Brewing Co. to Launch Its Hand-Crafted Specialty Beers at Retailers, Bars and Restaurants Across the State

Author: Big Bay Brewing Company
Dateline: Milwaukee, Wisconsin (MILWAUKEE, Wis.)  | Mon, 22 Nov 2010

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Big Bay Brewing Co. is introducing a signature line of hand-crafted beers to consumers throughout Wisconsin. The craft brewer, based in Shorewood, Wis., recently received its federal and state brewing licenses and will be launching two craft beers through select retailers, bars and restaurants across the state this month.”



A R T I C L E:

Big Bay Brewing Co. is introducing a signature line of hand-crafted beers to consumers throughout Wisconsin. The craft brewer, based in Shorewood, Wis., recently received its federal and state brewing licenses and will be launching two craft beers through select retailers, bars and restaurants across the state this month.

Craft beers, generally higher quality brews made in small batches, have seen growth of more than nine percent so far this year despite a struggling economy (Brewers Association). Big Bay's founders wanted to produce beers that feature the unique flavor profiles and independent spirit of craft beers while maintaining an accessible taste.

"It's been our vision to create high quality, hand-crafted beers for those who want full-bodied flavor with just the right balance of hops. We're pleased with the results and we look forward to introducing Big Bay products to beer drinkers across Wisconsin," said Jeff Garwood, Big Bay Brewing Co. co-founder and managing director.

Life on the Water is a Little Sweeter:

An important element of Big Bay Brewing is the brand's ties to the water. Its founders believe that a high quality hand-crafted beverage should evoke the same good feelings and memories that one might associate with a relaxing afternoon at the lake; sitting on the banks of a river; or enjoying an evening around an oceanfront campfire with friends. Inspired by their own special memories of family vacations, summer weekends and long afternoons near lakes and oceans, the founders have infused their passion for the water throughout the brand. Water-themed imagery and graphics are used on the labels, packaging, promotional materials and branded merchandise.

The recipes for Big Bay beers were developed by Garwood and his co-founder with technical support from brewer Jim Lueders. While the beer is being commercially produced now, the founders have been "brewing" the idea for the specialty ales for years. They called on their years of experience working with major breweries and their personal likes and dislikes to help them select just the right styles and ingredients, including a proprietary yeast.

"Big Bay beverages were specifically created to invoke the good feelings one may experience while watching the waves roll in, but they are intended to be enjoyed anyplace - in the comfort of your home or at your favorite watering hole - and anytime of the year," added Garwood.

To produce the beer, the company has entered into an alternating partnership with the Milwaukee Brewing Company who will brew the custom beers under the guidance of Big Bay, and according to Big Bay's proprietary recipes.

"After a full year of courting a small group of reputable brewers, we chose to work with Milwaukee Brewing Company because of its strong reputation for brewing high-quality beer, as well as its strong set of Midwest values that mirror our own," said Garwood.

While Big Bay products will be brewed at the Milwaukee Brewing site, the company will operate a company store and sampling center at 4517 N. Oakland Ave. in Shorewood, Wis. The center, scheduled to open in February, will offer consumers an opportunity to sample Big Bay products and purchase merchandise in a relaxed setting. Its proximity to the water in Shorewood - just a few short blocks from Lake Michigan - further adds to the Big Bay experience. The company will employ approximately a half dozen employees in sales positions.

Big Bay beers are developed from unique and custom recipes that are steeped in the brewing traditions and simple ingredients of years gone by. Featuring proprietary yeast and the highest quality ingredients, Big Bay beers offer the distinctiveness of Wisconsin's microbrews with a clean finish. Big Bay beers are brewed slowly and methodically, letting nature do what it does best. The result is a well-balanced, robust, drinking experience.

Wave Hopper Kolsch Style Ale: Wave Hopper Kolsch puts a Wisconsin stamp on a German style ale to create a highly drinkable beer that's perfect for a sunny afternoon. Its subtle but assertive hop and malty aromas stay on the tongue briefly and finish clean. A lighter-bodied ale, with a refreshing nature, the Kolsch showcases a hint of creaminess thanks to the addition of a small amount of wheat countered with just the right amount of hoppy zing from our Perle and Hersbrucker hops. The result is a wonderfully aromatic ale with pilsner malt and subtle hop character.

Boatilla Amber Ale: Its distinctive deep auburn amber hue comes from the special blend of Pale 2 Row and Cara Munich malt. And while this Amber is well-balanced and laid back, it has a bolder maltiness and a more assertive hopping than the Kolsch. Liken it to the perfect cliff jump - daring on the take-off and smooth on entry. It's not too heavy, but brewed with boat-loads of flavor making it the beer of choice for an evening with friends and family.

Big Bay beers will be available at select retailers, bars and restaurants across Wisconsin. The beers will be sold at retail in 12-oz. bottles at a suggested retail price of $8.49 for a six-pack. The company also plans to launch a line of hand-crafted premium sodas which are currently in development.

Big Bay products will be sold by local distributors across the state, including Beer Capitol Distributing Inc., Frank Beer Distributors Inc., CJW Inc., Lee Beverage of Wisconsin and Kay Beer Distributing.

About Big Bay Brewing Company:

Based in Shorewood, Wis., Big Bay Brewing Co. produces specialty hand-crafted beers. Big Bay is built with the vision that life on the water is a little sweeter...and, that sweet life is infused in every Big Bay beverage. Big Bay's founders believe that craft brewed beverages and life on the water go hand in hand. Life on the water means creating and savoring memories and moments that are cherished for a lifetime. And, what better way to enhance those memories and moments than with the right beverage. For more information, visit http://www.BigBayBrewing.com .

300 Year Old French Winery Brings Prestigious Wine Appellations Into The 21st Century

Author: Gourmets Passions
Dateline: Lyon, France (LYON, France)  | Thu, 11 Nov 2010

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Gourmets Passions announces the arrival of a new range of southern Rhone wines to hit shelves in the United States for the 2010 holiday season. THE VINS (THE WINES) is a direct response to the growing sentiment from young wine consumers that French wines, although well-respected, are seen as specialty items and can be overly complex.”



A R T I C L E:

Gourmets Passions announces the arrival of a new range of southern Rhone wines to hit shelves in the United States for the 2010 holiday season. THE VINS (THE WINES, www.the-vins.com) is a direct response to the growing sentiment from young wine consumers that French wines, although well-respected, are seen as specialty items and can be overly complex.

According to a recent study conducted by Sopexa, 72% of respondents held a very positive image of French wines, and 81% agreed that French wines are typically reserved for special occasions. French wines have the image of being consumed less frequently, being more complex to understand and to taste, and commanding a higher price.

THE VINS bears intuitive and innovative packaging that breaks the mold of conventional French labels, while respecting and promoting the longevity of prestigious French appellations that are currently unfamiliar to a broader range of tomorrow's consumers.

While catchy, THE labels are also meaningful, as each wine in THE range is labeled with its nickname used in-house at the vineyard (Vacqueyras: "THE VAC"; Gigondas: "THE GIG"; Chateauneuf du Pape: "THE CHATO9," nine pronounced "neuf" in French). The full appellation remains in smaller print, however the larger nicknames and label colors (white, rose, red) make it easy to pronounce, comprehend, and remember the appellation, taking the intimidation out of shopping for a good bottle, and educating consumers at the same time.

THE VINS not only take the intimidation out of world-renowned Rhone appellations through innovative packaging, but also through specific blends. These wines are fruit-forward and exceptionally well-balanced, with unobtrusive tannins and a persistent elegance, making THE wines easier to appreciate and more accessible.

Stephane Lombardi, president of Gourmets Passions, is committed to maintaining the premium quality of the appellations. Lombardi explains, "THE wines are exceptional blends of mainly Grenache and Syrah, that are vinified, aged, and bottled in-house, and are always the product of low-yield, meticulously selected and harvested grapes."

Although the initiative is contemporary, Lombardi has chosen a 300 year old vineyard as the exclusive producer of THE VINS. Arnoux et Fils (Arnoux and Sons) is family-owned and operated in Vacqueyras, France, since 1717, and their crus are continually recognized and highly noted by world-class sommeliers and wine critics. As reviewed by Herve Baligand, sommelier at a 3-Michelin-star restaurant outside Lyon, France, "The collection of THE VINS is a true concentration of pleasure made available to everyone. Each wine combines the respect and tradition of the terroir from which the appellation originates, while remaining accessible and easy to appreciate."

New ‘Citrus Splash’ Lemon-Lime Soft Drink: Crisp, Light, and Refreshing

Author: Multi-Flow Industries
Dateline: Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania (HUNTINGDON VALLEY, Pa.)  | Tue, 09 Nov 2010

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Multi-Flow Industries, a Beverage Processor founded in 1937, recently launched a new Fountain-Dispensed Lemon-Lime Carbonated Soft Drink brand. CEO Mark Stephens announced, 'We're incredibly proud of our new premium lemon-lime soft drink, that has consistently beaten all 3 of the other national brands in blind taste tests.'”



A R T I C L E:

Multi-Flow Industries, a Beverage Processor founded in 1937, recently launched a new Fountain-Dispensed Lemon-Lime Carbonated Soft Drink brand. CEO Mark Stephens announced, "We're incredibly proud of our new premium lemon-lime soft drink, that has consistently beaten all 3 of the other national brands in blind taste tests. And, just like the rest of our line-up, new Citrus Splash offers a true value to foodservice operators as a lower-priced alternative to 7-Up, Sprite, and Sierra Mist."

"Citrus Splash" offers a unique balance of lemon and lime flavors. Product Development Director Owen Rothstein tested dozens of flavor mixtures, including several different blends of sweeteners. The results, according to Rothstein, prove that the new lemon-lime soft drink outscores the national brands by as much as a 10-to-1 ratio.

The brand name was developed by one of Multi-Flow's Route Drivers in Fort Lauderdale, Florida: Reggie Garret. During the brand team's visit to the Miami area, Reggie offered up "Citrus Splash" as a potential name for the new soft drink.

Stephens said, "As soon as it came out of Reggie's mouth, I knew we had the perfect brand name for the perfect new beverage." Based on "Taste Panels" from consumer focus groups, the descriptive tag, "Crisp, Light, and Refreshing" was subsequently added.

"Citrus Splash" will be branded under the "Micro-Brewed by Multi-Flow" logo, which also encompasses Kodiak Cola, Kodiak Diet Cola, Morning Dew, and a variety of other carbonated soft drinks. Multi-Flow Industries exclusively manufactures fountain-dispensed beverages, through its own distribution network along the East Coast, as well as through allied distributors throughout the U.S. Their product line is available for national distribution to restaurants, foodservice, and all other locations that serve fountain-dispensed drinks.

More information is available at Multi-Flow Industries' company Web site, www.multiflow.net .

Dominex LC, the leader in specialty eggplant products for more than 25 years, has successfully invaded the frozen aisles at select West Coast retailers. Now, consumers will find the "The Eggplant People's" combinations of fresh eggplant and all-natural ingredients at Safeway, Raley's (Nob Hill), Vons, select Whole Foods and Ralph's locations in addition to leading natural food retailers.

This move west coincides with consumer demand for more unique vegetarian and vegan offerings and a desire to incorporate more varied vegetable options into their meals. By using fresh eggplant as the primary ingredient, Dominex offers health and ingredient simplicity, while delivering taste and convenience. Moreover, Dominex provides year-round solutions for integrating one of the healthiest vegetables into mealtime - try the vegan Eggplant Cutlets, ranked #1 by IRI, on the grill!

"About a year ago, we embarked on a journey to bring our delicious, healthy and convenient products to consumers in the west, and we've been overwhelmed by the response," says John G. McGarvey, Dominex President. "I'm excited to say that vegetarians, foodies, vegans and other consumers seeking an easy, healthy meal solution along the Pacific coast can now find all of our products in the frozen aisles of their favorite retailers; and there are more products to come."

All Dominex products are now available to consumers, including: the Dominex Eggplant Cutlets - all natural lightly breaded slices of eggplant which are great in parmesan dishes, as a side dish or within a sandwich; the Vegetarian Eggplant Meatball - one of the healthiest meatballs on the planet. With only 90 calories and 2.5 grams of fat in an approximate six "meatball" serving, these not only taste great but deliver on a real meatball experience as well; the Eggplant Parmesan Bite - a bite-sized nugget of vegetarian bliss, the Parm' Bites combine eggplant with natural cheeses and marinara sauce to deliver a classic entree in your finger tips; and the Vegan "All American" Eggplant Burger, offering a delicious substitute to both conventional and other meatless burgers.

A R T I C L E:

In their efforts in the battle against childhood cancer, Harvest Squeeze Lemonade will celebrate the National Rollout of the brand at the Marathon Restaurants in Center City Philadelphia. From Monday June 28 through Friday July 2, 2010 Harvest Squeeze Lemonade and Marathon will run a week of fundraising to benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF). Marathon will host a series of special events and promotions to raise funds for the foundation dedicated to finding a cure for all kids with cancer. While Marathon's 1818 Market location will play host to a series of fundraising events, all six Marathon locations will donate all revenue generated by lemonade sales to ALSF during the fundraising week.

To kick off the week of fundraising events, Alex's parents Liz and Jay Scott will be joined by local childhood cancer heroes for lunch at Marathon's 1818 Market location on Monday, June 28. The families will enjoy Marathon's Limonata (lightly sparkling) version of Harvest Squeeze Lemonade as well as special lemonade inspired meals. A portion of the sale of each special meal will be donated to ALSF.

The very next day, Tuesday, June 29, Marathon will host an extended version of their Kids' Happy Hour. From 5-7 p.m. All children in attendance will enjoy live entertainment, half priced kids' meals, and takeaway gifts for lemonade purchases. Sticking with the theme of Alex's Lemonade Stand, there will also be a special story time reading of Alex and the Amazing Lemonade Stand.

To cap off the week of fundraising festivities, Marathon will host an adult happy hour on Thursday, July 1 from 5-8 p.m. Special Harvest Squeeze Lemonade cocktails featuring Philadelphia Distilling's Bluecoat Gin and Penn1681 Vodka will be served. Philadelphia Eagles Offensive Lineman Winston Justice will act as a guest bartender and DJ Jon Gill will provide music. The event is sure to be a success with the help of Nicole Cashman, President and CEO of Cashman and Associates.

Multi-Flow Industries recently announced their new line of lemonade beverages, branded under the Harvest Squeeze Juice label. With a tag line of "It's about being Real!", the line-up includes a Classic Yellow Lemonade, served still or sparkling as Limonata, a Pink Lemonade, and a Half Tea/Half Lemonade variety. All varieties are blended with Real Sugar, Real Lemon Juice and offer Real Calorie Reduction: 25% less calories than a typical serving. The Harvest Squeeze Lemonade recipes use a blend of real sugar and crystalline fructose, an all-natural sugar which allows for the caloric reduction without the use of artificial sweeteners. At least 30% of the profits Multi-Flow generates from sales of Harvest Squeeze Lemonade will be donated to the ALSF every year.

Since Alex held that first stand, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement, complete with thousands of volunteers across the country carrying on her legacy of hope. To date, Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, a registered 501(c)3 charity, has raised more than $30 million towards fulfilling Alex's dream of finding a cure, funding over 125 research projects nationally.
