Russia: Heineken could accomplish the second largest takeover in the Russian brewery sector
Russian brewer Ivan Taranov is to be acquired by Heineken for $560 million, Reuters announced on August 16. Heineken has made no comment yet on this issue. Nevertheless, the Russian daily Kommersant, quoting sources at both companies, said the two firm s planned to sign a deal later on Tuesday.
Moscow-based Taranov, Russia's seventh-biggest brewer, has three breweries spread across Russia and nationwide beer distribution. It made earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of $30 million in 2004 and analysts forecast that it will post EBITDA of $40 million in 2005. Its brewing capacity is of 4.5 million hectolitres a year .
Taranov is the brewer of Pit and Three Bears beers. Its beer brands include Konigsberg and Doctor Diesel, and it also brews licensed brands such as Bavaria, Gossen and Coors, to give it a 4.4 percent share of the Russian beer market by volume and about 4.5 percent by value.
Russia is the world's fifth-biggest beer market after China, the United States, Germany and Brazil, and the top beer makers are racing to expand in the country.
Kommersant stated the deal would help Heineken to catch up with its main foreign competitor in Russia, the world's

China: APB`s Group PBIT surges 25% in 3Q fuelled by strong volume growth in almost all markets
Asia Pacific Breweries (APB) announced on August 12 that the company continued the positive momentum established in 1H2005 with yet another set of strong results in its third quarter ended 30 June 2005.
Group PBIT rose 14% or $21.3 million to $175.5 million. Attributable net profit (before exceptional items) also increased by 11% or $9.4 million to $92.8 million.
Mr Koh Poh Tiong, Chief Executive Officer, APB, said, "The strong performance of the Group is driven mainly by operations outside Singapore. Our breweries continued to show strong volume growth especially in China, Indochina, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Thailand. Today, more than 80% of our earnings come from overseas markets, thereby widening our earnings base. The results attest to the strength of our brands in the beer industry."
Group profit before interest, taxation and exceptional items (PBIT) rose 25% from S$38.0 million to S$47.3 million in 3Q2005. Attributable profit (before exceptional items) also increased by 11% or S$2.1 million to S$21.6 million.
"All markets, except Singapore, registered gains in volume. China reported the largest volume growth of over 50%. Overall, China turned in a profit for this quarter instead of a loss recorded in the same quarter last year.

Czech Republic: Beer exports register an increase of 20% for the first half of 2005
The brewers from Czech Republic exported 1.46 million hectolitres of beer in H1, up 21 % year-on-year, and raised output by 3.5 percent to 9.15 million hectolitres, according to the Praguemonitor.
Domestic beer sale grew by just 0.65 percent to 7.69 million hectolitres. "This has confirmed our expectations," Jan Vesely, the CEO of Czech Brewing and Malting Association said, adding that Czech beer output will continue to grow mainly because of exports.
For the entire year, beer output should rise to at least 19 million hectolitres, Vesely said earlier. Last year, Czech breweries put out 18.75 million hectolitres of beer, up 1.1 percent against 2003.
Sale on the domestic market fell slightly but exports went up 25 percent to 2.64 million hectolitres in 2004. Brewers say the growth of exports accelerated after the country's accession to the EU.
41 breweries out of the 48 operating in the Czech Republic last year, were also exporting their products. There was a reduction in the share of the three leading exporters, namely Budvar, Pivovary Staropramen and Plzensky Prazdroj. This fact points out to increasing activity of other Czech brewers.

Belgium: The monks from Saint Sixtus monastery not delighted about their “Best Beer” Prize
For more than 160 years, the Trappist monks at Saint Sixtus monastery in Flanders have produced a rich, dark-brown beer renowned for its exceptional flavour and strength, the Independent said on August 13. But an unexpected misfortune has befallen this reclusive community of 26 Cistercians: their beer has been named the best in the world. So huge is demand that stocks are exhausted and sales have been stopped. As hits on the monastery website reach 2000 a day, Saint Sixtus has been deluged with requests for media interviews, from the United States to Bulgaria.
At the entry of the monastery, near the French border and 80km from Calais, a notice directs visitors across the road to the claustrum, an exhibition on monastic life. Normally, the only outsiders allowed to visit the silent order are those who seek spiritual contemplation. But Mark Bode, co-ordinator of the claustrum, explains the principle behind the brewery. "It is to produce as much beer as we need to finance the community," Bode says. "We make the beer to live but we do not live for beer."
For this reason, their anxiety about the accolade by www.ratebeer.com, an independent United States-based site for beer enthusiasts,
