Coming out of another wildly successful 4/20 across industries, we teamed up with the inimitable @shan.ferments to give a quick look at what we mean when we say “Dank” in brewing. Is it a sign of quality? pungency? chemical complexity? Yes.
 
The best part is, you can harness the power of dankness in your beer, seltzer, hop water, or even functional beverages with the BrewGas collection. A series of c***nabis-inspired profiles that are TTB-approved with no tee-h-cee, no CBD, and legal status in all 50 states.
 
Enjoy this funky breakdown and check out our white paper, Defining Dank, to learn more! Link in bio.

Hop harvest is where the next year of beer starts taking shape. 🍺

For brewers, it’s a chance to evaluate new lots, connect with growers, and lock in the hops that define their beers. But acreage is shifting across key aroma varieties this year, and protecting the lots you select after harvest matters as much as choosing them.
That’s what Quantum Toll Processing is built for.

Convert your best hop lots into shelf-stable Quantum Extracts, preserving what you selected and delivering the dosing equivalent of 5 lbs of raw hops from every 1 lb processed.

Swipe to see what the 2026 harvest picture looks like, and what it means for planning ahead.

At the @albertabrewers Convention, Abstrax partner Bright Craft will be presenting “Advancements in Terpene Based Flavor Technology: What’s Now Possible in the Brewhouse”!

Here the panel will cover GC×GC flavor mapping, bioidentical flavor creation, terpene emulsification and solubility, as well as how these technologies can work alongside conventional ingredients to impact flavor consistency, handling, storage, and cost of goods.

After the presentation, Brightcraft Technical Sales Manager, Kevin Emms, will lead a panel of brewers from @bigrockbrewery , @cold_garden , and @eightyeightbrewco to give expert insights on what they see when using these solutions in practice.

If you’re interested in where flavor technology is headed and how you could be enhancing your own brewing capabilities, this is one to catch! 🍻

Taproom traffic dips every January. Most brewers wait it out.

Numerator says that bet doesn’t hold anymore. Alcohol’s share of total beverage sales dropped from 46% to 41% in three years. 42% of Dry January participants still haven’t decided if they’re going back to alcohol at all.

Moderation is a year-round menu question now. Our new blog breaks down what that means for your 2027 tap list and how Quantum and Skyfarm help you capture every round.

Glasses up! This one’s for the brewers.
 
MBAA’s @masterbrewers Conference (Oct. 22–24) brings together the technical core of our industry. That means the brewing scientists, the production leads, and the R&D teams focused on the science behind the beer.
 
This year, we’re honored to have our very own Barbara Stone (@_babs_stone_ ) take the stage to deliver the closing keynote speech. Her perspective after years working directly with brewers and researchers alike will inspire the same passion and rigor that’s defined MBAA since 1887.
 
While you’re there:
	•	Join us and @aslin.va for a collaborative Happy Hour, Wednesday, October 21st, 6–8pm.
	•	Try our new collaboration beer, brewed with Abstrax Hops ingredients.
	•	Stop by the Abstrax booth all three days. We’d love to hear what you’re working on.
 
See you in Virginia Beach!

Fresh off their Skunkworks 2026 win, Ross (@sugarsugarltd) stopped by @ReformationBrewery in Canton, GA to talk through what they’ve been brewing since they took home the trophy at CBC Philadelphia.
 
Their latest, Little Daydream, puts Pawpaw Skyfarm to work. The result is a 3% wheat beer stacked with ripe banana, juicy mango, and tangy pineapple. Sessionable, and hard to put down.
 
Skunkworks 2027 submissions are open NOW. If you’ve been sitting on a beer idea, September 30 is your deadline to apply, but the beer itself isn’t due until December 4.
 
$5,000 and the trophy are on the table. Do you have what it takes?
