Brew Up Tax Savings with the R&D Tax Credit

BOSTON, Mass. -- While the trendy term "Microbrewery" may have been the proper terminology for new craft beer breweries and startups, they no longer remain "micro" in revenue, says ICS Tax, LLC (ICS). Growth in the craft beer industry in the U.S. has steadily grown to almost $30 billion.

While brewing up signature styles of beer is key to their creators' minds, the Research & Development (R&D) Tax Credit can save the craft brewing industry significant tax dollars and make brewers say, "Hop Hop Hooray."

The R&D Tax Credit has been an underutilized dollar-for-dollar cash savings in the brewery and beverage industry altogether. With the R&D tax credit being made permanent and the qualifications of R&D more expansive, the credit has become more valuable and lucrative for a small brewery or startup. A misnomer is that a company must be successful or is developing something new for the "world," whereas the activity only needs to be new or improved to the brewery itself.

The R&D Tax Credit can turn skunky brews into sweet aromatic tax savings.

"Ask yourself, while you may be known for your signature pale ale, have you been working on brewing up the latest lager to captivate the increasing market? Have you adapted your formulas for changing connoisseurs?" says Lacey Robb, the R&D credit practice leader at ICS.

She adds, "It is uncommon that your brewery has not made any improvements to the product, technology, or internal processes to grow and maintain success. Internal process improvements are often overlooked and provide valuable savings to the industry."

The benefits that the R&D Tax Credit can provide the brewing industry will not leave you with a hangover, but hopped up for exciting permanent tax savings.

A few examples of activities that would qualify for the R&D Tax Credit are:

* Developing new bottle conditioning

* Generating new or improved manufacturing processes to improve manufacturing flexibility and agility

* Establishing new or improved hopping techniques and styles

* Creating or improving filtration methodologies or wastewater methods

* Developing new or improved product formulations or recipes (e.g., dry hopping)

* Conducting tests of product ingredient mixtures for desired flavor or aroma profiles

* Developing new or improved quality assurance testing processes

* Producing prototype product samples for testing and validation of new recipe formulations

* Testing prototype samples for analytical and microbiological qualities.

While all the above sounds too good to be true, many breweries may be thinking, "how does this help us when due to the pandemic, we do not have a profit?" The R&D credit was enhanced for small business startups in 2016 and can be applied against your quarterly federal payroll tax instead of your income tax.

Do not let this opportunity go stale. Now may be the time more than ever to explore this power tax savings. To learn more about the R&D tax credit, visit https://ics-tax.com/services/research-development-tax-credits/.

AJ’s Seafood and Oyster Bar Announces its Spring Fling Cobia Tournament Dates

DESTIN, Fla. -- It's time to break out that fishing gear. AJ's Seafood and Oyster Bar is hosting its Spring Fling Cobia Tournament from April 2-3, 2021. And, this year's event benefits two of its favorite non-profits, the Destin Fishing Museum and Kids on the Coast Foundation. Proceeds from the tournament will be split between the two.

Early registration is $400 and goes through March 29. After that, registration goes up to $500 and regular registration and packet pickups start at 6:30 p.m. on April 1. Anglers can register in person at any of AJ's four locations; or email entry forms to: fishing@ajs-destin.com. $10,000 in cash awards are guaranteed.

This year's tournament has a few changes compared to previous ones. For example, this year, all boats registered will be entered into a drawing for a free entry into the 2021 Destin Fishing Rodeo. A drawing will be held April 1 after all registrations have been received. And, since Easter falls on that first Sunday in April, this year's event has been shortened to two days instead of three.

EATYALL Launches New Program that Provides Resources to Chefs and Sampling Opportunities for Farmers

OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. -- EATYALL founders, Andy and Marianna Chapman, plan to send hundreds of Chef Care Packages to hardworking chefs in 2021.

The Chapmans have built relationships with chefs around the globe for over a decade, assisting them in their search for better ingredients and taking them for "boots-on-the-ground" immersive Chef Camps around the U.S. For the last 10 months they have brainstormed how best to help chefs who have struggled to conform to new restrictions, reduced staff and stringent health codes while continuing the essential work of product sampling.

Opportunities for product sampling have dwindled during the pandemic. Trade shows and festivals have been a great resource for many years but most have been postponed with no reschedule date. EATYALL's own popular Chef Camps have been paused for the safety and concern of the chefs and farmers, yet their focus remains on helping chefs thoughtfully source ingredients. The Chef Care Package Program continues this connection in a surprisingly analog method... snail mail.

"It's really been neat to see the fusion of inspiration and encouragement, something every chef in America can use right now. I've gotten messages from each chef who got a package, and it seemed like it made their month to be remembered during this time," said Andy Chapman, CEO of EATYALL.

EATYALL's Chef Care Packages began rolling out last month with the first boxes filled with samples from the Georgia Pecan Growers Association. The attractive boxes were packed with pecans, handwritten cards and small gifts. They felt more like a curated gift than a sampling program. EATYALL is focused on creating an experience that not only provides product information but unites the recipients in a digital community where they can share photos or recipes using the ingredients they receive.

"There's no magic wand in marketing, but sending great products with handwritten notes of encouragement have gotten a tremendous and inspiring response from chefs and farmers alike," Chapman adds.

Care package themes will vary each month highlighting different industry partners and farms. Producer groups can encourage and equip chefs that fit their target market by joining the EATYALL Chef Care Package Program.

Tech Giant Facebook ‘Censoring’ Small Business

CHICAGO, Ill. -- Nana's All Purpose Alkaline Seasoning, a premium Himalayan Salt based alkaline blend sold direct to consumers, at nanaseasoning.com, in an 8.4-ounce bottle is being "censored" by Facebook, says Changing The World Foods, LLC. Since October 27, 2020 Facebook has stopped this small business and others from placing paid advertisements.

"Nana's All Purpose Alkaline Seasoning is a small business, and we depend on social media sites like Facebook to advertise. So, when they disable our accounts and accounts of other small businesses it can harm our sales especially during a pandemic and economic downturn," says company Co-Founder and CEO, Rasheed Williams.

Nana's All Purpose Alkaline Seasoning launched on October 5, 2020 and is owned and distributed by Changing The World Foods, LLC, a consumer packaged goods company headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The company ran several ad campaigns on Facebook for twenty-one (21) days until the tech giant disabled its ad accounts thus preventing the company from placing additional paid ads.

"We attempted to contact Facebook and resolve this issue for almost five months without any word from them. At the end of the day, we enjoy the platform and want to place ads to grow our business," says Williams.

The seasoning is alkaline which means having a pH higher than 7.0. The human body is naturally slightly alkaline, with a blood pH of around 7.4. In recent years alkaline diets and products have been embraced for various claims including possibly boosting immunity. While the company makes no health claims it does support living a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet that may help boost immunity. It encourages all to consult a medical doctor prior to embarking on lifestyle changes.

"Small businesses in the United States and across the globe are being disproportionately impacted during these difficult times. We want Facebook to stop censoring us and allow our ads to run. We created an amazing seasoning that goes on all foods and want the world to enjoy it as we know Nana Makes Everything Better!" says Williams.

About Nana's All Purpose Alkaline Seasoning

Nana's All Purpose Alkaline Seasoning is a premium Himalayan Salt based alkaline food spice blend that actuates and accents the natural flavor profile of proteins, vegetables, fruits, and snacks.

Bonsi Inc Launches New Gen Cordless Blender That Connects to RTIC, Yeti, Hydro Flask Bottles

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Bonsi Inc, a premier manufacturer and retailer of superior small appliances, introduces a new generation of cordless blenders that gives you the power of a traditional blender on the go. Bonsi Blend launch's on Indiegogo on the 26th of January. Bonsi Blend connects directly to RTIC®, Yeti®, and Hydro Flask® bottles*. A 25-Volt power pack providing 750-watts of peak power and up to 30 blends per charge.

The Bonsi Story

Bonsi, Inc was founded in April of 2020 by David and Gifty Haight to create consumer products to revolutionize their markets. The question that brought this about was remarkably simple. Gifty called David to see if he could help find a cordless blender with a stainless-steel insulated cup. Gifty wanted something she could take to the gym or work that would keep her drinks cold for hours. After days of searching, they were unable to find what they wanted. They also realized that the blender market had not changed in decades. All the cool technology now available wasn't being used.

After careful thought and consideration, they decided to start Bonsi, Inc. to develop their version of what a blender should be. It needed to integrate all the relevant, current technology to create a powerful, compact, eco-friendly product made with high-quality parts and be easy to use. They knew this would require sacrifice, risk, and months of effort. And they would need to do all of this during a worldwide pandemic and at a time of unprecedented political turmoil. But it had to be done - people deserved a product that would help them live better and simpler lives.

After months of research, endless phone calls, design work, and putting together the best possible team, Bonsi Blend was born. Like the bonsai tree, Bonsi Blend is small, powerful, sturdy, beautiful, and made to last. Because "Deep in Bonsi Inc's core values, is to only create the best products possible, so that's what we did," said David Haight, CEO and Co-Founder.

Bonsi Blend was developed with only the best parts available:

* A 25-Volt Bonsi Power Pack, made from the highest quality lithium-ion batteries, delivers 750 watts of peak power. Easily as powerful as a home blender, Bonsi Blend will give you up to 30 blends per charge.

* The best brushless motor gives it a peak efficiency of 85%, creating a quieter blender.

* Integrated safety technology ensures that the blades won't turn without a cup attached and stop if the blender tips over.

* A USB-C, PD 3.0-Rapid Charger gives it the fastest possible charging speeds.

* Data transfer options allow it to receive remote firmware updates. All you need is a cable to connect the USB-C connector to a computer.

* A rugged, flex-rigid PCB board built to last for years.

* A sliding touch sensor to make operating it intuitive, easy, and simple.

* It was purposely built without a plastic blending vessel. "Let's face it; there are enough plastic bottles in the world," said David Haight, CEO and Co-Founder. Instead, Bonsi Blend attaches to cups already in the market - RTIC® Bottles, Yeti® Bottles, and Hydro Flask® wide-mouth bottles, giving people the choice of brand, color, and bottle size.

As with any new venture, there was a great deal to be endured by everyone involved. With a 3-year-old boy, plus the cost of developing Bonsi Blend, it was not an easy task. David had to travel a lot for work and the development of Bonsi Blend. Gifty worked in the medical field during Covid, picking up extra shifts when she could, while raising their son, Nathan.

As with anything in life, struggle, determination, and sacrifice are part of what makes something great. Bonsi Blend is an extraordinary product, forged with determination and sacrifice, that will revolutionize how blenders are made. Bonsi shows the world that if you have the will to do something, anything is possible.

Gifty and David look forward to sharing Bonsi Blend with the world and sharing the love one blend at a time.

"Bonsi Blend is a product that will change people's lives for the better. It is easy to use, high quality, and built to last. Now people can have the power of a home blender in the palm of their hand," says Gifty Haight, VP & Co-Founder.

Appalachian Gap Distillery Commits to Become Climate Neutral Certified

MIDDLEBURY, Vt. -- Appalachian Gap Distillery is proud to announce it has committed to become Climate Neutral Certified. The company will be working with Climate Neutral, an independent non-profit organization that helps companies measure their carbon footprint, offset it in its entirety by purchasing quality carbon credits, and reduce emissions moving forward.

Climate Neutral has set rigorous certification standards that all companies must meet before being granted the Climate Neutral Certified status.

"Consumers today are yearning for evidence that companies are aware of their contribution to climate change and committed to erasing it," said Climate Neutral CEO Austin Whitman. "We're thrilled to have Appalachian Gap Distillery commit to this journey. Soon they will join our growing list of certified companies that are proving that we're living in a new era of leadership on climate by top brands."

For Appalachian Gap Distillery, the decision to join this movement was a natural next step in the distillery's journey to reduce the impact of making quality craft spirits. "Doing the right thing, whether making delicious spirits with integrity or distilling in a way that was easier on the planet, has always been part of our ethos as a brand," says distillery co-founder Lars Hubbard. "The first thing people see when they visit our distillery are six solar arrays that provide all of our electricity and are symbolic of our commitment to sustainability."

Other actions the distillery has taken to reduce its environmental impact are less visible but equally important. "We renovated the building with high-performance building standards in mind, by ensuring the distillery was highly insulated, installing efficient heating and cooling equipment, installing daylighting skylights and double-insulated windows, and equipping all lighting with motion sensors" co-founder Chuck Burkins explains. "Another thing we're proud of is that all our spent grains, which are mostly sourced from local farmers, are sent to a biodigester to be turned into clean power." The distillery has made its operations so clean that it is no longer required by the Town of Middlebury to have an industrial discharge permit; the distillery is adding less liquid waste to the system than a residence does over the course of a month.

The distillery still relies on natural gas to power a high-efficiency steam system for their processes, and this is an area the team has identified as an opportunity for further reducing its reliance on fossil fuels that contribute to climate change and are switching over to renewable natural gas (RNG).

The environmental case for reducing carbon has been well understood for years and now the business case for committing to climate neutrality is more compelling than ever. "Customers care about how products are made and are supporting brands that commit to operating responsibly," says Will Drucker, head of sales and marketing at Appalachian Gap Distillery. "I'm proud to work with a brand that has made sustainability a core value and am excited to offer our customers products that address the climate crisis in addition to being delicious to drink. Given the choice, more people want to do good by drinking well."

Over the coming months, the distillery will be compiling information about its carbon footprint, including direct operations, upstream sourcing and downstream shipping in order to create a comprehensive accounting of emissions. Once this is complete, Appalachian Gap will offset its emissions as necessary and commit to actions to further reduce its climate impact in the future. "We will be certified Carbon Neutral this year, which is the last step in our journey towards having our operations reflect our values, one of which is responsibility to the planet and its inhabitants." said Lars Hubbard. "It is the right thing to do."

Appalachian Gap Distillery hand crafts sustainable spirits with a unique Vermont character, in Middlebury, VT.
