IZ IT MOSSGIEL? This week, we had a call from someone in England who was VERY excited to have received a bottle of Mossgiel Milk, and congratulating us on getting over the border so quickly after our cow-funder had finished. Thing is, we don't sell our milk down south, yet. It was weird, but it also reminded us that we were contacted a couple of weeks ago to say how our milk was also being delivered in Aberdeen - but that's one of the only areas of Scotland we don't yet cover. What's going on? Well it turns out that our milk has become so popular that some canvassers are being asked for Mossgiel but instead of asking us to supply their dairy with Mossgiel Organic Brewed milk to deliver to new areas, they're supply regular milk in pint glass bottles with a plain blue or green top. If you have recently signed up to a delivery of Mossgiel, there is a very easy way to tell if it came from us or elsewhere. On our whole and semi-skimmed pints, you'll see Rabbie Burns himself staring back on top of the blue or green foil. On our 1L he's on the tamper-proof label that seals the bottle lid on top and says MOSSGIEL bold and proud. The only exception is our Gold 'Cow with Calf' milk, which simply says 'Cow with Calf' in print on top of a gold foil - we'll be upgrading our foils to include Rabbie in the New Year. Another way to check is from our 'health mark' - the legal code that must be on all dairy packaging to state where the milk comes from. Our code is UK KA 040 Now, we're taking that as a sign that we're winning and it's very flattering and all - but it's also very disingenuous and a continuation of the lack of transparency our industry has been plagued with for decades.

To be clear, the $70 million is going to BC agriculture including grapes, tree fruits and berries. Curious to see the government planting guidelines to come. At -27 Celsius and below it doesn’t really matter what type of grapes vine you have planted as these temperatures can actually kill the whole vine. Would be great to see some proactive measures to prepare for these extreme weather events.

Your opinion counts! ☝ Whether you process several tons of malt every day in a large brewery or just a few kilograms as a hobby brewer: Your opinion is important, because it helps to better understand the needs and challenges of the industries and to work on possible solutions. The raw material barley malt plays an important role in beer production and is involved in cultivation in agriculture, production in malt houses and processing in breweries. As part of our colleague Maria Krahmer's thesis, we would like to examine the current situation in these three areas, with reference to developments in malting barley and barley malt over the past 10 years. 🗳 Please take three minutes of your time and click this link to the survey https://lnkd.in/gMVkmdH8, if you: - process barley malt as a raw material (usually as a brewer) or - process malting barley into malt (usually as a maltster) or - cultivate malting barley (usually as a farmer) or - are involved with malting barley and/or barley malt in other areas (e.g. teaching/research) We look forward to your participation and thank you in advance for your time and commitment. German: Du möchtest die Umfrage lieber auf Deutsch beantworten? Kein Problem! Bitte folge diesem Link zur deutschen Version: https://lnkd.in/gb4e3Cyd #masterthesis #survey #maltingbarley #youropinionmatters #aboutgrain #maltingbrewing

⚖️🧫🥩 JUDGE REJECTS UPSIDE FOODS’ REQUEST TO BLOCK FLORIDA’S CULTIVATED MEAT BAN In a 21-page ruling last Friday, Chief US District Judge Mark Walker rejected UPSIDE Foods' motion for a preliminary injunction, which would have allowed it to showcase its cultivated chicken at the Art Basel festival in Miami (December 6-8). Florida was the first US state to ban cultivated meat, making it a second-degree misdemeanour to manufacture, sell or distribute these proteins. After being signed by Governor Ron DeSantis in May, the law came into effect on July 1. A month later, however, Upside Foods – one of only two companies approved to sell cultivated meat by the USDA and the FDA – filed a legal complaint against the state, calling the move “unconstitutional”. The Institute for Justice, which is leading the case on behalf of Upside Foods, sought a preliminary injunction to halt the ban until a decision on the lawsuit is made, allowing the company to sell its products and honour its event commitments. It had teamed up with local chefs for the Art Basel fair, and is set to host a tasting at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival® in the state capital next February. Suranjan Sen, an attorney at the Institute of Justice, called the denial of the preliminary junction merely a “procedural step”. “We are looking forward to appealing this preliminary decision while the case goes forward,” he said. “We are confident that the courts will ultimately recognise that Florida cannot ban products simply to protect local industries from honest competition.” Florida isn’t the only state to have banned cultivated meat – a similar law took effect in Alabama at the start of this month. And lawmakers in Arizona, Illinois, Kentucky, Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan, New York, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia have introduced similar measures.

Here are somethings you may not know about Europe’s #Brewing sector: 👩🌾 For every one job in a Brewery, two are created in the agricultural sector. ♻ 85% of the grains used to make beer are reused as high in protein and fibre feed or fertiliser. For centuries, from the hop producers to the maltsters and beyond, brewers and #farmers have worked together to preserve and foster the art of #beer brewing, elevating it to a characterising part of European #culture. That’s why it is crucial that during today’s hearing in the @EuropeanParliament of the Commissioner-Designate for Agriculture and Food, @ChristopheHansen, we hear a commitment not only to support European farmers but also the beer sector as a whole. The Brewers of Europe look forward to working with the new College to broaden the dialogue on the future of EU #agriculture to include the entire agri-food chain, thereby recognising beer and its raw ingredients as strategic products for a competitive and sustainable EU agricultural policy. #BeerServesEurope #BeerFuture #Brewing4EU

On 23 July last, we had an interesting Dutch Court decision on the designation of plant-based products. A short summary thereof is as follows. Early 2023, #Upfield launches a plant-based alternative for butter under the well-known margarine brand name #BLUEBAND and the product name #ROOMBETER. The Dutch Dairy Association objects to the use of that product name because according to European regulations, ‘cream’ and ‘butter’, may only be used for dairy products. The Court of Justice of the European Union is strict in interpreting those regulations under its #Tofutown doctrine. The Dutch court rules that it follows from that strict interpretation that the product name ROOMBETER cannot be used for a plant-based product. This is even the case if it is clear to consumers that it does not contain butter. For further details and an analysis of this case, see here: https://lnkd.in/dveq7ZTd
