Brewbound Live and a Rising Star!

This week, Ryan has been in Santa Monica, CA, with Mop Man and our VP of Operations Brandon Greenwood to participate in this year’s Brewbound Live.

Produced by Brewbound — a leading industry trade publication providing comprehensive information about the beer space, analysis of industry trends, and in-depth interviews with industry leaders — Brewbound Live features beer industry trailblazers, trendsetters, and rising stars. In addition, the week highlights a range of brewery case studies, business discussions, a Pitch Slam business competition, sampling of new and innovative products, and Livestream Studio interviews with attendees.

In addition, they’ll be handing out a few awards, including to the six breweries they’ve identified as Rising Stars.

And… hey! A little brewery known as Cape May Brewing Company is one of this year’s Rising Stars!

"I look forward to many years of working with Ryan to better beer in the U.S.”

Ryan on the Board

There have been a lot of great things happening around the brewery over these past few weeks. Babies, anniversaries, expansions, partnerships, and, of course, literally tons of great new brews.

Now there’s even more great news: Ryan Krill was named as an Ex Officio member of the board of the Beer Institute!

"With us and DC Brau there, it should be a fun night."

CMBC Takes DC

You know how sometimes you over-schedule yourself? You’ll have brunch with friends, then a barbecue at your aunt’s, then dinner with your step-mom, and then drinks with an old friend from high school?

That’s kinda how our week in DC is shaping up.

Ryan on Cavuto: Coast to Coast

Did you catch it?

Our fearless CEO sat down with Neil Cavuto on Fox News on Saturday morning to discuss how the shutdown is affecting your favorite craft brewers.

Breweries have to submit labels and keg collars to the TTB — the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, a bureau of the Department of the Treasury — for approval before they’re allowed to send them out into the world.

The Department of the Treasury was part of the government shutdown, and, as such, we could still submit labels, but they just sat there in Washington until they could get approved. There had previously been about a two-week turnaround, and, now that the government is reopened, there’s a 48-day backup at the TTB, so things that we submit now won’t even be glanced at until March.

When it comes down to it, we realize that this is a minor annoyance when compared to 800,000 people not receiving their paychecks. Luckily, we have enough approved beers in our portfolio that we could continue to produce, but we did have to make a few alterations to our plans.

Nonetheless, take a listen to what Ryan had to say.

“I appreciate what they are trying to do with tariffs,” he said in the article. “But it definitely has unintended consequences for small businesses like ours.”

Varney & Co.

From the ICYMI files….

(…that’s In Case You Missed It for the uninitiated….)

…Ryan was on Varney & Co. on the Fox Business Network, discussing President Trump’s proposed tariffs on aluminum imports!

“Behind the curtain, it’s really about strategy,” he said. “Thinking about who we are, who we are not, and where we want to go.”

Ryan in LA

Ryan’s been out in la-la-land all week — that’s Los Angeles, if you didn’t know — to attend the Winter Brewbound Session.

Brewbound Sessions are essentially a chance for the nation’s brewers to get together and shoot the shit. It’s low-key when compared to other conferences with a couple of seminars, and less intense than your typical trade show, with only a handful of suppliers on site.

Basically, it’s a chance for people to let ideas flow as plentifully as the beer. Partnerships are made, collaborations are floated, and everyone gets the chance to pick everyone else’s brain.

Oh, to be a fly on that wall.

“That’s how we fit into tourism, and now we’re a huge piece of it. Now I’m sitting on a panel.”

Ryan at Stockton

On Monday, Ryan sped up the Parkway to exit 41 — Stockton University was holding a Beverage Tourism Distinguished Guest Panel, and Ryan was excited to be a part of it.

Ryan was joined by Devon Perry of VisitSouthJersey.com, Larry Sharrott, Jr., of Sharrott Winery, Jon Henderson of Good Time Tricycle Productions (the folks responsible for the Atlantic City Beer and Music Festival, among other things), Mark Ganter of Little Water Distillery, Kenny Ward of Ship Bottom Brewery, and our good friend Vicky Clark of the Cape May County Chamber of Commerce.

The hard work and leadership Ryan Krill and Cape May Brewery have provided in advocating the importance of this legislation with the New Jersey delegation has been key.

NJ Steps Up

Ryan has been working his butt off, both at the brewery and for the Guild, and it’s starting to pay off.

The entire New Jersey delegation to Congress has signed on to co-sponsor the Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act (CBMTRA)!

“This is pretty awesome!” Ryan says. “It tells me that our elected officials in Washington are really listening to the little guys they represent.”

We’ve told you about CBMTRA before, but here’s a refresher.

(Say it with us: “com-BOOOOOO-trah”.)

“Everyone says you can or can’t do something,” Ryan said. “Ignore them.”

It seems to be anniversaries everywhere! We’ve got our sixth anniversary — where did the time go?!? — and Gary Monterosso is celebrating his 100th television episode of What’s on Tap!
