Molson Coors Beverage Co. learned some lessons after bringing corporate employees back to their offices in October. Color-coded wristbands can help colleagues signal their openness to a hug. It’s important to schedule 10 minutes of travel time between meetings. And it’s tough to get some people into meeting rooms with masks if they can join a video call without a mask from their desk.

The company, which makes Coors Light and Miller Lite beer, closed its corporate offices in March 2020 when Covid-19 emerged, sending thousands of employees home. Early this year, …….

A veteran home brewer is opening his first brewpub in Dallas’ Cedars District. It’s called Autonomous Society Brewpub, and it’s opening at 1928 S. Akard St., in a really charming little brick building which was most recently residential, and which is currently being renovated.

Owner is Dean Weaver, a long-time home brewer and certified beer judge who launched a small brewery in 2018 called Deanitude, making mostly European-inspired beers such as pilsners, saisons, IPAs, and porters.

The brewpub is an outgrowth of that venture and will create a place where bee…….

Inflation seems to be affecting us in every way. But having a beer to make it all feel better, might cost you too.

The craft beer industry is dealing with a can shortage that will likely raise the price, as aluminum manufacturers and distributors look to make up the difference.

NBC 7 went behind the scenes at Karl Strauss’ distribution center in Pacific Beach, to find out how it might make your beer a little pricier.

By the looks of the towering walls filled with empty painted cans, a can shortage doesn’t seem to be an issue.

Brian Ivey isn’t naive to the ways of late-stage capitalism, but the former Catawba Brewing Co. retail marketing and communications director is nevertheless disappointed by what he feels is a lack of honesty and respect that the brewery’s new owners, Alabama-based Wiregrass Equity Partners, showed him and his leadership team colleagues on their way to the unemployment line.

On Nov. 1, after running the company for 22 years, Catawba co-owners Jetta and Billy Pyatt sold the business and Charleston, S.C.-based Palmetto Brewing Co. to Wiregrass — whose portfolio includes the craft…….

I’ve been enjoying the wines of the Savoie region of France for a long time, though primarily the reds and sparklers. This was the year I fell in love with Savoie whites.

Savoie is in the Alpine foothills of eastern France, where the border intersects with Switzerland and Italy. The whites, made of local grapes like altesse, mondeuse blanche and jacquère, all seem to have a breezy, cool feel to them, as if a fresh mountain wind were…….

There’s been a lot of discussion about inflation as we’ve seen the economy rebound in 2021. Traditionally, the government’s fiscal and monetary actions — things like big-time spending and low interest rates — would lead to higher inflation. So it came as no surprise when year-over-year inflation was tracked at 5.4% in July, more than double the norm of the last couple of decades.

The real question is, will this be a lasting trend, and what are your retirement risks? Economists are coming in on both sides of the argument.
