Advanced Packaging Materials view on corrugated packaging.
Gerard Christie managing director of Advanced Packaging Materials has been
involved in the packaging industry for over 40 years, 15 of these manufacturing corrugated boxes.
"This time last year we could order board and have it arrive in 3 days, since the
end of last year with on line sales and Brexit, lead times have increased significantly from these 3 days to 11 weeks with no sign of easing. We receive up
dated lead times from our board supplier and on one day received 5 of these,
within 15 minutes lead times had increased by 5 days. Fortunately we have had to forward plan by a massive margin to ensure we have board deliveries, for any
new projects which require bespoke board we are quoting May deliveries, even the likes of Amazon are struggling to get board supplies."

PATREON ANNOUNCEMENT Discover the benefits of membership
When we launched This Week in Craft Beer in January 2020, we were blissfully
unaware of what lay ahead of us! Considering the obstacles we have all faced, we
are proud of what we managed to accomplish in our first year.
However, we have lots more that we want to do in 2021! In order to fund these
activities and to enable our Community to get more involved with the creative process at TWICB, we have launched a Patreon Membership Programme.
Full details of how you can get involved starting at less than the cost of a half-decent can of beer per
month, can be found at patreon.com/thisweekincraftbeer.
Don't worry, our weekly Newsletter and Podcast will continue to be FREE FOR EVERYONE! The Patreon
Membership offers access to range of brand new TWICB Products and Services. Please check it out and
let us know what you think?!
www.thisweekincraft.beer/patreon
Q. Why are you starting to charge for things that we have enjoyed for free all this year? A. We aren't! The weekly Newsletter and weekly Brewer-interview Podcast will continue to be free to everyone. Patreon will
enable us to offer brand-new additional products and services to Members.
Q. What's this about Members getting involved with TWICB? A. We have been amazed and delighted with the amount of engagement and feedback we have received during our first year, via
social media, email etc. The UK Craft Beer Community is clearly engaged, knowledgeable and sociable! We want to provide a mechanism for bringing the community into our creative process, allowing people to participate in the planning, research,
production and delivery of our products.
Q. Why do you have to charge for things? A. TWICB is run by just two people: Rob and Steve. Whilst it is undoubtedly a labour of love, it has developed into something that
consumes a significant part of our working weeks. Steve works mainly on the Newsletter, where the New Beers Section alone
takes many hours per week, to research, collate and format. Rob works mainly on the podcast, where each episode takes several
hours to schedule, research, record, edit and promote. Whilst we will continue to invest this time to produce the free products, we think Patreon could be a great way of funding the time and effort that we want to devote to developing new products and
services.
Q. Apart from your time, what specifically will the Patreon proceeds be used to fund? A. As soon as the COVID-19 situation permits, we want to take the podcast on the road, to record Brewer interviews at their own
Taprooms, as well as record live segments at Festivals, Tap-Takeovers and other beery events of note. In order to provide a quality
finished audio product, we will need to invest in some decent mobile recording equipment, not to mention the cost of travelling
the length and breadth of Britain in the pursuit of great interviews!
Q. What is the thought process behind the bundles of Patreon Membership bonuses that you are offering? A. We have tried to come up with bundles that combine some community benefits, exclusive digital products, exclusive physical
products, invites to exclusive TWICB events, discounts on TWICB Grand Tours and opportunities to participate in the TWICB
creative process. We have tried to price each Membership Level so that each offers outstanding value for money. We have also
tried to be mindful of the number of Patreon members that we can realistically include in each bonus activity. (Clearly the invite to
participate in the podcast interview or attend the TWICB "Board Meeting" needs to be strictly limited in numbers, or else the bonus
would cease to be "exclusive” and would risk disrupting the actual process itself.)
Q. Are the Membership Benefits and Levels set in stone? A. Of course not! We are literally making this up as we go along currently! We would love to get your feedback on the Levels, the
Benefits, and indeed the very idea of using Patreon in the first place! Please hit us up on IG (@thisweekincraft.beer) or via email [email protected]. We confidently expect to need to adjust the Patreon model as we go along, based on feedback.
Q. Is this like a Gym membership, where I sign up in January, and then regret it for the rest of the year?!
A. Definitely Not! Membership is month-to-month and you can cancel your membership at any time. Only caveat here is that
certain Member Benefits (mainly those ones that involve a significant cost for us to provide to you) are only unlocked after three
or six months at a certain tier.

BREWER’S CORNER Miscellaneous Beery News
This weekend, the UK newspapers are reporting that pubs
could be permitted to open in April, but alcohol-free! This is apparently based upon the opinion of Police Chiefs that it
was "crystal clear that drinkers do not adhere to social
distancing rules". The Pub Curmudgeon takes a wistful look at how the pub experience has changed over his 45 years of pub going.
https://pubcurmudgeon.blogspot.com/
Brixton Brewery reported this week that they had completed their sell-out,
with Heineken acquiring their remaining 51% stake.
https://www.brixtonbrewery.com/our-next-chapter/
As we report every week on our Who Owns Who? page, we already regarded
Brixton as a macro brewer, so this doesn't change anything. If you buy beers
from any of the suppliers listed on that page, know that you are giving your money to the macros, who would do almost anything to get the Craft Beer
genie back in the bottle, and have us go back to drinking their tasteless pish.
SIBA reported this week that their annual BeerX event will run
online only from 16-18 March and will be completely free to
join, thanks to sponsorship from Kegstar.
https://www.siba.co.uk/2021/02/03/siba-partners-kegstar-
make-beerx-online-free-attend/
There will be lots of seminars and workshops, which we will keep an eye-on, nearer to the time.
Finally, here is an interesting blog post, listing the author's desert island IPA styles.
https://exitpursuedbyabeer.com/2021/02/05/high-abv-fidelity/
Having given this some thought, I can report that your correspondent's top 5 desert island IPA styles
would be New England DIPA, NEIPA, Mountain IPA, New England TIPA, West Coast IPA.

Viva la Revolución!
Here at TWICB, we are not claiming to be the UK's largest lobby group, or even the UK's largest beer
lobby group(!), but we do have a growing audience, who we hope might be willing to support the
following Craft Beer related causes
Petition Southwark Council to pedestrianise the Bermondsey Beer Mile on a Saturday.
With pedestrianisation of some of the busiest streets in Bermondsey on Saturdays only, we can get the
many bars and restaurants back up to their previous operating levels whilst keeping customers safe with outdoor drinking.
Sign the petition here
Reverse the change to Small Brewers Relief
The Treasury has announced changes to Small Brewers Relief (SBR) – the progressive tax system that has revolutionised UK brewing. These changes will reduce the 50% duty threshold from 5,000hl to
2,100hl: small breweries will have to pay more duty, whilst larger breweries could pay the same or less.
Sign the petition here
At the moment, we are conscious that this is very London-focused! Please help us to make this list of
causes more UK-inclusive, by suggesting your local petitions for inclusion on this list!
Please email [email protected]

Oli and Sam met at Cardiff Uni where Sam began brewing in his bedroom at their shared house.

2018, in the modern style of a Taproom led Brewery on the Stirchley beer mile!

WHO OWNS WHO…?
This Week in Craft Beer is dedicated to supporting and promoting Independent UK Craft Breweries and
the ecosystem surrounding them.
We define Independent as being those breweries who are not wholly or partly owned by a macro
brewery. A macro brewery is generally defined as a large, national or international brewery that
produces and distributes more than 6 million barrels of beer per year.
Getting a new brewery off the ground is an expensive business, so most have external shareholders in some shape or form, whether through friends and family, crowdfunding, or some other form of
investment. In our opinion, this does not compromise their independence, as long as the shareholder is
not a macro brewery.
Why does this matter?
Having a Macro as a parent company (even a minority shareholder), gives the brewery huge advantages
of patronage, including access to cheaper or scarce ingredients, access to distribution networks, access to points of sale including draft taps and pub fridges etc. For example, in 2017 ABInbev bought the
entire South African hop market for its own use and denied access to all independent breweries.
