avarian Autosport, since its inception as a BMW repair shop in the early 1970s, has over
the past four decades grown into the leading BMW and MINI Parts and Accessories Cataloger in the world. From their headquarters in Portsmouth, New Hampshire (an hour north of Boston) Bavarian Au- tosport ships orders throughout North America and around the world. Te distribution centre stocks over 400,000 OEM and aftermarket parts and ac- cessories that are available to order by telephone (toll free), online or through their attached retail outlet. “We can supply any replaceable part, interior or
exterior, on any model, and even suggest aftermar- ket upgrades,” states spokesperson Laura Burgess. “We process orders and ship most items the same day, or people can come visit us to pick up their order.” According to their extensive customer base, what truly sets Bavarian Autosport apart from their competition, is the exceptional knowledge and dedication of the 55 employees. “Many of our staff own either BMWs or MINIs, they know their cars and what makes them special,” explains Burgess. “Teir love of the cars, along with their experience and in-depth knowl- edge, allows them to connect with our customers and answer any questions, or solve any issues that they might have.” Responding to inquiries from Bavarian Autosport
customers, the company also hosts a ‘Tech Blog’ (
blog.BavAuto.com) for the BMW and MINI Do-It- Yourselfers, keeping car owners astride of any techni- cal developments. For a Parts and Accessories Catalog, or to seek out

ustomer preference and overall demand has led the Craft and Premium Beer market to become one of the fastest growing segments of the food and beverage
industry. Adding their name to the growing list of specialty beer producers is Noble- ton, ON’s King Breweries. Opening their doors in 2002, King Brewery boasts one of the only authentic Ger- man decoction brewhouses in Canada. Teir in-house brands include King Pilsner, King Dark Lager and King Vienna Lager beer, all brewed with the focus on tradition and craftsmanship. “Te big difference is that we brew in small batches, with strict control of ingredi- ents and brewing procedures,” states King Brewery spokesman Brian Watts. “We are a ‘craft brewer’ and our goal is to be recognized as a leader in the premium beer market.” Te result of their efforts has become evident, as this small Canadian brewery has
won multiple gold and silver medals for their products, most recently they earned a Silver Medal in the World Championships held in February in San Diego. From one of the most sophisticated and technically advanced breweries in the world, King Breweries produces a maximum output of 3,000 bottles per hour, permitting extra at- tention to each individual batch. As well as a producer, King Brewery is also a distributor for several remarkable Eu-
ropean brands such as Weihenstephan, Brasserie Lefebvre, Brasserie Franches-Mon- tagnes and Oud Beersel. Adding to their list of products, a recent expansion in the King Brewery menu has seen the creation of the in-house Tornbury Cider line. Now available at selected Ontario beer and liquor stores and in over 300 restaurants and pubs (including Casey’s Restaurants), Watts states that their marketing directive is to put their beer directly into the hands of the consumers. “We have a ‘grassroots’ approach, we like to connect directly with the community.
We offer our King Brewery products at such occasions as Blues and Jazz festivals, and we like to take part in charity fundraising events. Once people get a taste of what we offer, we think they’ll like us. Our motto is ‘Quality Without Compromise’. And I be- lieve we live up to that concept.” Details, product listings and availability can be found on their websites. •
