“When we signed a lease here, we had brewed about 500 barrels of beer,” Burns said. In the decade since, both Night Shift’s business and the craft beer industry have evolved at a near-breakneck pace. Night Shift has expanded the facility several times since it opened in 2012. The Everett brewery is “in a dense urban environment with limited land and small ceiling heights, and it is not designed to match the scale,” Burns said.

“It’s been a problem-solving effort since we moved in, but really over the last three years investing dollars and ideas and schedules and all sorts of shifts to just like ‘How do we make this work?’ so that it’s optimized and it’s still not,” Oxton said. In addition to that, a CO2 well in Mississippi is contaminated, Gasworld reported.ĬO2 aside, Night Shift has struggled to mold the Everett location to meet its needs as a craft beer and hard seltzer producer, and has relied on off-site production.

Ammonia plants, which aid in fertilizer production and also give off CO2 to be captured, have been offline for off-season maintenance, according to Gasworld, which predicted a “long, hot summer ahead” for the U.S. This time, disruptions to other CO2 streams are causing the problem. The beer industry dealt with a shortage during Summer 2020, when production of CO2 – often a byproduct of ethanol production – plummeted along with demand for gasoline. CO2 is used to move beer throughout the production process, to package it into cans and bottles and to push it through draft lines for taproom service.
