Brunswick Beer and Cider -This is the Way

As if owning and operating a brewpub isn’t challenging enough, Wilmington native Jud Watkins has decided to take on another one—cider.

Brunswick Beer and Cider Company is coming soon(ish) to a Brunswick Forest near you.

We sat down with Watkins to get the scoop.

Ale Trail (AT): Congratulations! Let’s get the most annoying question out of the way first—what’s your timeline?

Jud Watkins (JW): 2020 might be a little ambitious but I definitely hope to be operation winter 2020/2021.

AT: What do you think staffing will look like? Will brewers be splitting time between Brunswick Beer and Cider (BCC) and Wrightsville Beach Brewery?

With four themed rooms, from Alice in Wonderland to the Zombie Apocalypse, you’ll be in need for a victory drink at the bar once you escape.

JW: Regarding brewers specifically, we will definitely be bouncing staff back and forth, but we would also like to bring in someone with a lot of cider experience. As you know, TTB treats cider more like wine than beer. In our eyes, there is a lot more overlap with beer, than wine, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be an entirely different challenge for us.

AT: That’s great! So, what are you most excited about?

JW: I am probably most excited about the cider portion and the challenges that will ensue. I look forward to retraining myself and training alongside our staff as we attempt to perfect fermentation techniques with ciders. There are so many fun opportunities with ciders; barriers to be broken down as we have seen with craft beer over the last two decades.

AT: Will the food menu mimic Wrightsville Beach Brewery’s or will you be going a different direction?

JW: I anticipate we will take about half of our menu over with us to BBC (if we don’t serve the Thai Chili Cauliflower Tempura, I fear there would be rioting). But I also want BBC to have some of its own trademark items on its food menu. We hope to continue to keep the ingredient sourcing as local as possible as we have done here at Wrightsville Beach Brewery.

AT: Who else is tackling this with you?

JW: I am fortunate to be joined in the business adventure with my lifelong friend, Will Cameron. Will and I grew up together selling Brunswick County grown Silverqueen corn on the side of the road. We have wanted to work together for a long time and it’s exciting to have finally reached the point in our careers where we can work as business partners.

AT: Anything else?

JW: Don’t be surprised if you see a tie-in with a local theme at BBC too. We have a lot of fun naming beers here at Wrightsville Beach Brewery; sometimes its a random fun name we all loved but more times than not, the names are a nod to the awesome community we live in.

Broomtail Craft Brewery

Nefarious Words: 5.8% The latest NE IPA brewed with South African Southern Passion hops.

Salty Turtle Beer Company

Flying Machine Brewing Company

Volare: 5.2% From the brewery, “[An] Italian Pilsner that is crisp and floral with hints of white grape thanks to a healthy dose of Hallertau Blanc and Mittlefruh. This bad boy hits the taproom draft lines tomorrow, so come over and remove this from your Lager bucket list.”

Looking Forward to 2020

2020! A new decade! How exciting. (Yes, I know there wasn’t a year zero, so technically the new decade doesn’t start until next year, but culturally speaking we’re in a new decade. Don’t @ me.)

The 2010’s brought us the rise of the milkshake and New England IPAs as well us everybody’s new favorite boozy bev, hard seltzer. The 20’s will surely bring us new trends to love and loathe. I asked local brewers to predict those trends and also what they are looking forward to both globally and in their own breweries.

Here’s what they had to say.

Barry Owings, Broomtail Craft Brewery & The Sour Barn

In 2020 Broomtail will still likely only produce 1000 – 1200 Barrels. But the major changes will be:
• Several flagships will be fermented completely with our locally harvested yeast. Of the 7 yeasts we have banked at White Labs, at least 2 will be moving from pilot size batches to full commercial size batches in Q1 2020
• Barrel Aged Sours have historically only been released 2-3 times / year by Broomtail. Starting in Q1 2020, we will begin releasing new (larger batches) of blended barrel aged sours at least every other month. These will be available in both of our locations as well as local Bottle Shops and Restaurants vs historically being only available at BTCB and Sour Barn.
• Canning: We will begin 2020 with small runs (a few thousand cans) of 4 Broomtail beers in 12oz cans. This will include Gose, Moe, Hay Bale, and Acerbic. Starting in Q2 2020 we are converting to 16oz cans at which time we will also package our newest IPA (ILM) and Pale Ale (910). The new packages will be available at both of our sites as well as through our wholesale distribution.

Jud Watkins, Wrightsville Beach Brewery

I think nationally we are seeing more and more people who are eating and drinking in a healthier manner. My guess is this will lead to lower ABV craft beer options and maybe even some gluten free beers too (stay tuned for more from WBB soon!).

I also think that as Wilmington’s craft breweries move past their first couple years, you’ll see our loyal customers branch out a little more. The Port City is an IPA-loving town, but I expect customers will start to try another beer first, before ordering their go-to favorite.

John Savard, Wilmington Brewing Company & Wilmington Homebrew Supply

We are predicting IPAs and Double IPAs are sticking around for sure, but we also see some light lagers and classic German styles coming back around.
IPAs are still king, and we love that, we just added 2 new 30bbl lagering tanks predicting people will dig a lighter option too.
