Brewbound's Brew Talks - Authenticity Leads to Differentiation - Washington DC 2013 - Part 1
Full article available here:
As brewers across the country start or continue their dreams of full-scale operation, beer's ubiquity presents a profusion of challenges. Standing out on the shelf, which is vital to a brewer's success, remains one of them. This goal is commonly known. Doing so can be the hard part, though.
Monday night in Washington, D.C. on the third-floor of the Smith Commons, a dining room and bar in the Atlas Arts District, Brewbound editor Chris Furnari aimed to divulge methods of brand differentiation in a question-and-answer forum with Bill Butcher, founder of Port City Brewing in Alexandria, Va., and John Bryant, cofounder of No-Li Brewhouse in Spokane, Wash.
The forum served as the latest edition of Brewbound's Brew Talks, an ongoing series of educational and networking events for craft brewers and industry professionals. Butcher and Bryant insisted that authenticity can carry a brand to strong sales and a point of differentiation. This authenticity derives from more than just a friendly smile; it's rooted in well-crafted beer, a genuine connection with consumers and a drive to maintain your brand.
You might not know how to define it, Butcher said of authenticity, but you know it when you see it.
Bryant said that No-Li aims for authenticity by continuing to represent Spokane. The small city — its population is approximately 210,103, according to the United States Census Bureau — is a place not typically regarded as a craft beer locale a la San Diego or Portland. However, Bryant said that No-Li embraces that fact. His brewery understands its place in the larger scope of craft beer, and reflects that understanding through its branding. The city's name adorns the No-Li logo. The company uses ingredients within 300 miles of the brewhouse. Bryant and his staff consistently share their local history to purveyors, bartenders, retailers and distributors.
There is something special about being small, Bryant said.
When Butcher launched Port City two years ago, he knew that Washington D.C., an enormous market with an abundance of thirsty locals and tourists, didn't have a microbrewery inside the Beltway. By identifying that hole in the market, Butcher felt confident that his geographic positioning, coupled with quality beer, would serve as a source of differentation and a key to sustainability. The Beltway served as Port City's initial market. Now the beer can be found in Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina as well as D.C.
It is important to have a plan and know who you are and what kind of identity your brand is going to have, Butcher said.
Despite 2,336 operating U.S. breweries and 1,254 breweries in planning, as of Jan. 11, according to Paul Gatza, director of the Brewers Association, Butcher and Bryant don't yet believe that there's an oversaturation in the industry. Bryant compared it to music and said that there's a seemingly limitless number of genres. He also said you can't close the patent office, and believes that craft beer has room to grow.
Butcher noted that by his count, there are more than 7,000 wineries in the country and few say that there are too many wineries. If anything, complaints stem from the industry's snobby nature; a trait he doesn't want to see carry over to the craft beer industry, despite the profileration of 750 mL bottles and the widely perceived influence of wine on craft beer.
I don't know that the raw number is really that important, Butcher said of breweries.
Instead of focusing on competition, Butcher said that he follows the market and allows it to bend his business model. He believes that a typical startup should produce 20 percent of its beer in packaging and 80 percent of its beer for draft. However, when Whole Foods, Giant Food and Safeway requested packaged beer for their shelves, Butcher adjusted. He said that retailers continue to demand a full stock, so he approximates that his brand became 30 percent packaging, 70 percent draft. It's all about flexibility.
Bryant and Butcher agreed that while every brewer has a specific figure they need to produce and sell to sustain business, barrels produced seem to be an infatuation within the industry that can define progress, but not authenticity. A number can only take you so far. The fidelity of the product and the marketing, if done properly, can sustain a brand.
It's more than just a number, Bryant said. We're not chasing the ghost.

Four charged with prostitution in massage parlor raid
Deputies charged four workers at four separate massage parlors with prostitution and solicitation after a widespread raid Wednesday afternoon. I live five minutes down the street, and I'm just absolutely shocked, Evan Volz, who lives near one of the businesses where employees allegedly offered more-than-standard service, said. The suspects are: Pel Chin, 45, a worker at Oriental Massage at 7117 Salem Road in Cincinnati; Zhang Cuimin, 46, of Eden Massage at 8431 Beechmont Avenue; Chunye Jiao, 49, an employee of Massage at 6089 Salem Road; and Cao Haiyan, 44, of USA Spa at 1969 8 Mile Road. All four establishments declined to comment on the arrests. According to Volz and other neighbors, some of the parlors in question were not always recognizable as businesses -- they did not advertise or self-identify with outside signage and kept black curtains over their windows. (Prostitution) seems to be moving into more suburban areas, neighbor Dan Lape said. Nobody's immune to it. Lape added he believes if the women are convicted, the establishments at which they worked should be shut down and replaced.
116th Congress swearing in: Nancy Pelosi House Speaker vote, live stream
The 116th Congress will be seated Thursday, with Democrats taking the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives after eight years out of power. The first order of business is electing Rep. Nancy Pelosi to be House speaker for the second time.
The House is set to convene at noon. After Pelosi is confirmed, the new members will be sworn in. Members will then vote on a new rules package to govern conduct in the House during the 116th Congress. Once the ceremonial parts of the day are completed, the session may get more contentious.
Pelosi has announced plans to pass a spending bill immediately she takes the gavel on Thursday in order to end the government shutdown. However, the bill does not include funding for a border wall, so President Trump has said that he will not sign it. Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said that the Senate will not vote on a bill which would not receive the president's approval.

Impeachment trial of President Trump | Jan. 24, 2020 (FULL LIVE STREAM)
Opening arguments in President Trump’s impeachment trial began on Jan. 22 in the Senate. House managers, led by Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.), will present three days of opening arguments. Then, senators will have 16 hours to ask questions in writing. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. will read the questions out loud, and the appropriate side — defense or prosecution — can answer them.
President Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives in December for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Impeachment does not mean that the president has been removed from office. In the next phase, the Senate must hold a trial to make that determination. A Senate impeachment trial has happened only two other times in American history and once in the modern era. At the center of the Democrats’ case is that Trump sought to withhold military assistance and an Oval Office meeting until Ukraine announced investigations into former vice president Joe Biden and his son.
Watch the debate on Jan. 21 on the rules of the trial:

How megacities are changing the map of the world | Parag Khanna
I want you to reimagine how life is organized on earth, says global strategist Parag Khanna. As our expanding cities grow ever more connected through transportation, energy and communications networks, we evolve from geography to what he calls connectography. This emerging global network civilization holds the promise of reducing pollution and inequality — and even overcoming geopolitical rivalries. In this talk, Khanna asks us to embrace a new maxim for the future: Connectivity is destiny.

Lyrics:
Well I'm on the Downeaster Alexa
And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound
I have charted a course to the Vineyard
But tonight I am Nantucket bound
We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday
And left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay
Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home
Too proud to leave I've worked my fingers to the bone
So I could own my Downeaster Alexa
And I go where the ocean is deep
There are giants out there in the canyons
And a good captain can't fall asleep

ODI: Triumph of Freedom: Slavery, Emancipation, and the Civil War in the DC - Gibbs - 9/18/12
The Government of the District of Columbia invited Gallaudet University to participate in a year-long celebration of the District of Columbia Emancipation Compensatory Act of 1862. This Act of Congress, signed by President Abraham Lincoln 150 years ago during the Civil War (1861-1865), freed slaves in the District of Columbia forever, and was the beginning of the end of slavery in the United States.
On Tuesday, September 18th, Mr. Carroll R. Gibbs, a noted District of Columbia lecturer and historian, speaks to our community about the Triumph of Freedom: Slavery, Emancipation, and the Civil War in the District of Columbia.
