Where To Find Ballast Point Beer?

Where is Ballast Point distributed?

Constellation Brands has agreed to sell the struggling Ballast Point brand ullstein bild via Getty Images Six months before Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ) purchased San Diego’s Ballast Point Brewing Company for an eye-popping $1 billion in 2015, an entrepreneur by the name of Brendan Watters sold his small hotel franchise business for a comparatively tiny $8.5 million to Red Lion Hotels Corporation.

• Now, four years later, the former hotelier-turned-brewery owner has agreed to acquire Ballast Point in a move that left craft beer industry watchers scratching their heads on Tuesday evening.
• In a press release, Constellation — the country’s third-largest beer company and owner of popular Mexican import beer labels Corona, Modelo, and Pacifico — said the Illinois-based Kings & Convicts Brewing would purchase the Ballast Point brands, along with its breweries and brewpubs throughout the country.

Ballast Point’s $48 million brewing facility in Daleville, Virginia, which opened in 2017, was not included in the transaction, however. Financial terms were not disclosed, and the transaction is expected to close by the end of the 2020 fiscal year. Reached by phone, Watters, an Australian who cofounded Kings & Convicts in 2017 and presently serves as its CEO, said conversations about acquiring Ballast Point began in late July.

“I sat down with one of the Constellation guys and I just made an offer,” he said. “I went headlong into it, and tried to get it before anyone else.” Watters tapped his brewery partner Christopher Bradley and four other investors, and secured bank financing to make the deal happen, he added. Constellation’s decision to sell Ballast Point comes after two consecutive years of declines – production dipped from a peak of 431,000 barrels in 2016 to 320,000 barrels in 2018, according to the Brewers Association.

“Trends in the U.S. craft beer segment have shifted dramatically since our acquisition of Ballast Point,” Constellation Brands president and CEO Bill Newlands said via the release. Since acquiring Ballast Point for roughly $3,500 per barrel, Constellation has failed to grow the brand nationally, and the company has admitted to overpaying for the brand by recording nearly $200 million in impairment charges in 2019 and 2017.

Nevertheless, Newlands contends Ballast Point is still “one of the most iconic craft beer brands in the country,” even as the number of breweries has swelled beyond 7,500. “We’re pleased to transition the business to an owner that can devote the resources needed to fuel its future success,” he said in the release.

• For Watters, the acquisition represents an opportunity to renew the “David versus Goliath” narrative that helped build craft beer over the last decade.
• There is nothing special about us,” he said.
• We are not some big brewery.
• We’ve gone against the trend.
• Just the other day Lion acquired New Belgium, and Anheuser-Busch InBev is finishing off its acquisition of Craft Brew Alliance.

We are taking this brand back, and bringing it back to independence.” While that may serve as a nice rallying cry for Ballast Point’s 560 employees, all of whom Kings & Convicts says will be retained, the harsh reality is that U.S. beer production is at an all-time low and many established craft breweries are struggling to eke out single-digit growth.

1. Still, Watters is bullish.
2. I don’t think anyone is going to stop drinking craft beer,” he said.
3. You have to separate perception and reality.
4. Sculpin and a bunch of the other brands still sell very well in California and a variety of other markets.
5. We are going to continue distributing where demand is, and deploying resources where it is popular.” In doing so, Kings & Convicts plans to focus on selling Ballast Point products in 12 “core” U.S.

markets moving forward, Watters said. Those include California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. “Retailers are going to start pushing distributors to rationalize their SKUs,” Watters said.

• Bigger players like Ballast Point have to work out what they want to do, and where they want to play.” He added that international opportunities in Australia, South Korea and Sweden are also important to the company moving forward.
• And while Kings & Convicts attempts to breathe live back into Ballast Point, Constellation said it would shift more of its focus toward offerings like the forthcoming Corona Hard Seltzer.

“Against the backdrop of a changing craft landscape, this move enables us to focus more fully on accelerating performance in growing sectors of the high-end, and fueling upcoming disruptive, new product introductions such as Corona Hard Seltzer,” Constellation spokeswoman Maggie Bowman wrote to in an email.

1. So, what does that mean for Constellation’s two other acquired craft breweries — Florida’s Funky Buddha Brewery and Texas’ Four Corners ? “Funky Buddha and Four Corners are focused on winning in their home markets, which aligns with consumer trends,” Bowman wrote.
2. We continue to look for avenues to maximize growth for these brands and our overall beer portfolio.” Constellation, which also owns a number of popular wine and spirits labels, has maintained that it wants to be a “leader in the high-end of the U.S.

beer market.” At the same time, it has invested $4 billion into Canadian cannabis company Canopy Growth as it looks to capture a piece of a budding global cannabis market that is poised to be worth $41 billion by 2024. Bowman said Constellation’s growing interest in cannabis did not play a role in its decision to sell Ballast Point, calling the Canopy deal a “separate, forward-looking investment.” “Today’s news is about reacting to market trends and focusing more fully on growing sectors of the high-end,” she wrote.

1. In recent months, Constellation has focused on divesting underperforming brands and doubling down on higher growth areas.
2. In April, the company announced it would sell about 30 lower-prices wine and spirits brands to E&J Gallo Winery for $1.7 billion.
3. Cowen analyst Viven Azer welcomed today’s news, writing in a note to investors that the divestiture would allow Constellation to “redeploy resources.” “Since taking over as CEO, Bill Newlands has established a clear mandate to focus on high growth, high margin brands to complement STZ’s best-in-class import beer portfolio,” she wrote.

“STZ remains our overall Top Pick. Maintain Outperform.” Constellation’s planned sale of Ballast Point marks the fifth significant beer transaction in the last month. Most notably, Colorado’s New Belgium announced a sale to Kirin subsidiary Lion Little World Beverages.

Why is it called Ballast Point?

As the entry point to San Diego Bay, which has seen thousands of cargo ships throughout the years, it’s no surprise this practice gave Ballast Point its name! Sailors often used the stones along the point as ballast, or dumped their ballast here in exchange for cargo, as they moved into and out of the bay.

Last Call: Ballast Point Owner Kings & Convicts Exits Former Saint Archer Facilities; MA Judge Issues Ruling in Jack’s Abby-Atlantic Termination

• Ballast Point Owners Kings & Convicts to Exit Former Saint Archer Facility & Taproom
• San Diego-headquartered Kings & Convicts Brewing, which acquired Ballast Point from Constellation Brands in late 2019, will vacate the Encinitas taproom and Miramar production facility it,
• Both locations previously belonged to the Saint Archer brand, which Molson Coors acquired in 2015 and ceased production of last year.

Kings & Convicts’ lease on the 50,000 sq. ft. brewery is “nearing expiration” and the company is “evaluating its options for exiting the location.” At the time of the transfer from Saint Archer to Kings & Convicts, the brewery contained a 40-barrel brewhouse, 5-barrel pilot system, cellar and canning line.

Last year, Kings & Convicts said it planned to retain the Saint Archer staff, but employees’ futures are uncertain as of press time. The moves come as Kings & Convicts plans to shift its focus to its “core strengths: its distribution network and network of existing Ballast Point taprooms,” the company said in a press release.

Ballast Point’s brewery, also in Miramar, will continue to produce Kings & Convicts’ portfolio, which is now available in 250 retail accounts throughout San Diego and “a growing footprint,” according to the release. Elsewhere in California, the company opened Ballast Point’s newest taproom and restaurant in San Francisco’s Mission Bay District. Mass. Judge Rules Use of Franchise Law was Unconstitutional in Jack’s Abby’s Termination of Atlantic A Massachusetts judge has ruled the application of 25E 1/2 – the state’s reformed franchise law – “unconstitutional” in the legal battle between Jack’s Abby Craft Lagers and its former distributor Atlantic Importing Company.

Framingham, Massachusetts-based Jack’s Abby days after then-Gov. Charlie Baker signed into law in January 2021. Atlantic disputed the termination with a petition to the Massachusetts Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission. The distributor contended that 25E 1/2 was unconstitutional because it required disputing parties to enter arbitration to determine fair market value, rather than a jury.

In a 26-page ruling issued on January 25, Massachusetts superior court justice Peter B. Krupp agreed. “As applied in this case, Section 25E 1/2 is unconstitutional because it violates 15 of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights,” he wrote. “The factual issues which Section 25E 1/2 sends to arbitration, including the fair market value of the wholelsaer’s distribution rights, involve a property dispute between two persons and legal remedies akin to contract damages, which trigger a right to a jury trial.” Krupp admitted that 25E1/2 does not always violate Article 15, particularly in situations in which both parties agree to arbitration, which was not the case for Atlantic and Jack’s Abby.

Does Budweiser own Blue Point?

History – The brewery was founded in 1998 in a former ice factory by Mark Burford and Pete Cotter, both avid home-brewers at the time. In regards to the decision to open up a brewery, Pete said: “Other parts of the country had local microbreweries and we saw an opportunity for a microbrewery to meet the demand in the market between Montauk and Manhattan,” Blue Point Brewing Company’s flagship Toasted Lager won a gold medal at the 2006 World Beer Cup in the American-Style Amber Lager category.

On February 5, 2014, it was announced that Blue Point was being sold to Anheuser-Busch InBev for nearly $24 million. At the time of acquisition the brewery was distributed in 19 states as well as Washington D.C. The brewery continues to operate in Patchogue, NY, but has moved from the small facility and single tasting room on River Avenue to a 54,000 sq.ft.

Did Ballast Point sell to corona?

Chicago’s Kings & Convicts purchased the brewery from Constellation Brands which paid $1 billion for it four years ago. Published on December 9, 2019 Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images “Buy low; sell high.” It’s an obvious investing maxim but it bears repetition for a good reason: It goes against human nature.

• People tend to want to buy when the fervor is high, and increased demand increases prices.
• Meanwhile, prices drop once demand has waned.
• Buying low requires foresight, knowledge, and often a bit of luck.
• Constellation Brands certainly didn’t have much luck after buying the craft beer brand Ballast Point.

(Whether they could have had better foresight and knowledge is up for discussion.) In 2015, Constellation — which was better known for wine before acquiring the popular Mexican beer brands Corona and Modelo — paid $1 billion for Ballast Point. Granted, the San Diego-based brewery was a beloved brand, but the Brewers Association only pegged it as the 17th largest brewery in the U.S.

That same year, Sierra Nevada made headlines for Bloomberg’s assessment that it was a billion-dollar company — and it was the seventh largest brewer. So many pundits found Ballast Point’s billion-dollar price tag unexpected (to say it politely). Four years later comes equally unexpected news: Last week, Constellation announced plans to sell Ballast Point to a little-known brewery out of Chicago called Kings & Convicts.

(The name stems from the founders, one with an English background and the other Australian.) On first blush, the sale seemed odd — like if the Philadelphia Phillies were sold to the Reading Fightin Phils — but as more details have continued to emerge, the move makes more sense.

The Chicago Tribune reports that the ownership group behind the tiny Kings & Convicts brewery actually has some big names — and some striking similarities to Constellation Brands: Kings & Convicts largest stakeholder is Richard Mahoney, chairman of the board at The Wine Group, owner of well-known brands like Benziger and Cupcake.

Meanwhile, Kings & Convicts Cofounder Brendan Watters wasn’t just some homebrewer looking to go pro; he’s reportedly had successful business ventures in the past — specifically in the hotel and tech industry. So though the whole thing may have looked weird to the beer world, in the business world, it was business as usual.

He’s backed me and I’ve made him money — he’s also made a lot of money elsewhere — but he’s backed me since 2003,” Watters said of Mahoney, according to the Tribune, “It was a handshake deal and he said, ‘I’m with you again.'” And once the funding was in place, they apparently got a very good deal.

Neither side has been willing to discuss the price, but Brewbound reports Credit Suisse analyst Kaumil Gajrawala guessed it was under $100 million, a number that fits the description elsewhere that the price was “surprisingly low.” Of course, buying low isn’t inherently good if the value is never high again, but Ballast Point might still have some life yet: The brand is apparently set to make about 200,000 barrels this year — well below its 431,000 peak in 2016, but still plenty of product.

1. And sure, Ballast Point may not generate the kind of excitement it did back when Sculpin IPA was taking the world by storm, but they at least have a chance to become a sustainable national brand with the right guiding hand.
2. That said, Constellation probably never hoped that Ballast Point would become a losing venture for them.

But at least Kings & Convicts can hang their hat on one thing: They are likely starting over $900 million less in the hole.

Is ballast good or bad?

Ballast Bypass vs. Plug and Play Lights Ballast Bypass vs. Plug and Play Lights From reducing your energy bill to mitigating maintenance costs to minimizing the time your team spends on ladders replacing burnt-out bulbs, the decision to upgrade from fluorescent bulbs to LEDs is a no-brainer.

1. A choice that’s less clear, however, is the one between a “plug and play” retrofit and a “ballast bypass.” Since both have their pros and cons, we’ll discuss them here to help you make an educated decision.
2. By Warehouse Lighting A ballast is a device that sits between your power source and your fluorescent light fixture.

Its job is to protect the fluorescent bulbs by controlling the flow of electrical current into the fixture. Since fluorescent bulbs cannot regulate current on their own, without a ballast, the bulbs can draw too much power and burn out. In addition to significantly shortening the lifespan of the bulb, this can create a safety hazard.

Do LED Lights Need Ballasts? An LED light does not require a ballast because it uses a component called a “driver” to regulate the power going into the bulb. Do I Have to Remove Ballasts to Use LED Bulbs? This depends on the bulbs. Some LED bulbs may require you to remove the ballasts. However, a high-quality plug and play LED tube – like Warehouse Lighting’s – can be used in direct wire fixtures as well as traditional fluorescent fixtures with ballasts. In other words, thanks to its flexibility, you use a plug and play led without ballasts or with.

Plug and play LED tubes are shaped just like fluorescent bulbs and connect to the fixture the same way. Since plug and play LEDs are compatible with ballasts, you can simply remove a fluorescent bulb and replace it with an LED. Since no additional modification or wiring is required, it’s as easy as replacing incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs in your home.

What is a Ballast Bypass? A ballast bypass is when you remove a ballast from the electrical circuit that goes to your light fixture. Since the ballast sits between your power source and the light fixture, this means either removing the ballast completely or simply disconnecting the ballast and wiring the light fixture straight into the power source. You can learn how to bypass a ballast, Do I Have to Remove Ballasts to Use LED Bulbs? This depends on the bulbs. Some LED bulbs may require you to remove the ballasts. However, a high-quality plug and play LED tube – like Warehouse Lighting’s – can be used in direct wire fixtures as well as traditional fluorescent fixtures with ballasts. In other words, thanks to its flexibility, you use a plug and play led without ballasts or with.

PROS

It’s the easiest solution (no wiring or modification is required). You still have the option to use fluorescent bulbs. The ballasts, while not technically necessary, may provide an additional level of protection to the light fixtures.

CONS

The ballasts will eventually wear out and need removal or replacement. Some lighting experts believe LEDs provide better light and are more efficient when the ballasts are removed.

PROS

There are fewer components to wear out and require replacement. Some lighting experts believe LEDs provide better light and are more efficient when the ballasts are removed.

CONS

Rewiring of the fixtures is required. You can no longer use fluorescent bulbs in the fixtures. You have to be careful fluorescent bulbs are not used, as this can pose a safety issue. The ballasts, while not technically necessary, may provide an additional level of protection to the light fixtures.

There’s more to light switches than simply “on” and “off.” We’ll walk you through the various types of switches so you know the right ones to choose for your next lighting installation.

Let us “shed some light” on the three main variations, as well as some basic installation guidelines to ensure a safe, well-illuminated environment.

While it certainly offers refreshing, fruity notes, this 7 percent ABV IPA packs a sting, just like the Sculpin fish for which it was named. Also known as the sea scorpion, the Sculpin fish has poisonous spikes on its fins that give a strong sting, but the fish itself is considered one of the tastiest in the world.

Who purchased Ballast Point?

California brewery Ballast Point is now officially part of Kings & Convicts Brewing Co., a Chicago-area brewing company. Kings & Convicts Brewing Co. announced in December it would purchase the makers of the popular Sculpin IPA from Constellation Brands. The open letter appears as a beer glass on Ballast Point’s website. (Ballast Point) The letter appears on the brewery’s website in the shape of a beer glass. It reads: Born in San Diego, Ballast Point was founded in 1996 because we love beer. Through every chapter, that fact remains constant.

• What has changed since ’96, you ask? We’ve heard the rumors.
• And you’re right.
• Quality has changed — it’s better.
• Innovation has changed — there’s more.
• Variety has changed — we’re creating more now than ever.
• So, you’re right.
• Things have changed over the past 24 years.
• It hasn’t always been perfect, but we are stronger today than ever before.

Through all of the change, all we’ve focused on is making great beers to share with you, our friends and neighbors. The same great people, making the same great beer, endured a trying couple of years. Why stay, you ask? Each other. Our passion. Our beer.

Longtime customers turned longtime employees still walk our brewery halls, and we’ve been here staying the course. Brewing the beer we want to drink. We’re all in the same dream, with the same goal. Every day, we pour our heart and soul into the beer we brew and into the family we’ve made. Ballast Point is back, but in fact, we never left.

The letter appears to follow the plan to return “flair” to the San Diego brewery, as Kings & Convicts co-founder and CEO Brendan Watters told CraftBeer.com in a December interview: “Kings & Convicts has always been a little roguish, a little anti-authority, and we’re going to bring back that little bit of flair that’s been lost as Ballast Point being part of a larger company.” Ballast Point’s ownership by Kings & Convicts, which is another craft brewer, means the San Diego brewery now classifies as a craft brewer under the Brewers Association definition. Ballast Point fits the craft brewer definition as part of the Kings & Convicts Brewing family. (CraftBeer.com) The Brewers Association, the Boulder-based trade group for craft brewers as well as publisher of CraftBeer.com, defines a craft brewer as small and independent.

The BA’s definition allows the group to keep data that helps support and inform its membership. The BA says Ballast Point has adopted the Independent Craft Brewer Seal, the certified logo that helps inform beer lovers which breweries are indeed craft breweries. Kings & Convicts displays the seal on its beer cans.

Watters told us in December, “Independence is not something we take for granted.” You can see the open letter from Ballast Point employees on the brewery’s website, Jess Baker walked into a beer fest in 2010 and realized beer had come a long way from what her dad had been drinking since the 70s.

What percentage is Ballast Point Sculpin?

While it certainly offers refreshing, fruity notes, this 7 percent ABV IPA packs a sting, just like the Sculpin fish for which it was named. Also known as the sea scorpion, the Sculpin fish has poisonous spikes on its fins that give a strong sting, but the fish itself is considered one of the tastiest in the world.
