Brewery news World: Carlsberg successfully places 6-year notes for EUR500 mln
Carlsberg Breweries A/S on August 30 successfully placed 6-year EUR notes for a principal amount of EUR 500 mln with a coupon of 0.5%, GlobeNewswire reported.

The notes have been issued under the company’s Euro Medium-Term Notes (EMTN) programme and will be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

The proceeds of the offering will be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of the EUR 1 bln notes maturing on 13 October 2017.

Nordea, MUFG and Société Générale acted as active bookrunners.

CFO Heine Dalsgaard says: “As part of our prudent financial policy, we are taking the opportunity to utilise the current market conditions to lock in attractive interest rates and extend the maturity profile of our debt. We're pleased with the high investor interest in the notes issue and consider it evidence of trust in our focus on improving profitability and cash flow.”


Brewery news World: Craft movement was a huge gift for big brewers – Carlsberg marketing manager
The world’s major brewing companies have been falling over themselves to snap up hip craft breweries, and changing consumer tastes do not, on the surface, seem to bode well for mass-market lager brands.

But Rasmus Bendtsen, international marketing manager at Carlsberg, sees the situation differently. "The craft movement that came was a huge gift for big brewers," he tells Campaign.

"It seems like the big international breweries have been competing on who can be the most superficial. Superficial values – Formula One, fast cars, even fast women – rich guys, product in their hand, smiling. It’s a portrait that a rich life is also a happy life.

"And I think when the craft movement came in, it forced the big brewers to justify why the world needs them. The small brewers are so passionate, they talk with pride, they don’t have money to do big sponsorships, so they have to be sincere, they have to make real stories.

"So in a way I think it was a huge gift right, because if you look at the history of Carlsberg, it’s basically been democratising beer."

This isn’t just marketing spiel – it refers to the decision by Carlsberg founder JC Jacobsen in the late 19th century ...More info on site


Brewery news India: Mahou San Miguel stresses on creating a beer-loving culture in India
Entering the Indian market in August 2012 and taking a leap in the internationalisation strategy in 2014, the Mahou San Miguel established the first international subsidiary of the firm, today known as Mahou India. Internationalisation is one of the strategic cornerstones of Mahou San Miguel for the development of its business. The firm produces more than 70% of Spanish beer consumed worldwide, and has presence in 70 countries. HospitalityBizIndia reporter Kathryn B K spoke to Fernando Bustamante, recently appointed CEO of Mahou India to learn about how different is India market from Spain and what would be his approach towards this growing market.

A Spanish-owned family company and market leader in Spain with a production share of 34%, Mahou San Miguel’s history dates back to more than 125 years. India is a 100% subsidiary of this Spanish brewing major and is the first country for Mahou San Miguel where it has a fully owned subsidiary outside Spain. The company has its brewery located in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan and it is one of the eight breweries it operates in, seven of which are in Spain. It is headquartered in Gurgaon, Haryana.

Coming from Spain, Bustamante has been leading on and off trade business ...More info on site


Brewery news Australia: Carlton & United Breweries to reduce alcohol content in some of its mid- and low-strength beers
Carlton & United Breweries (CUB) has said it is aiming to meet the growing demands of consumers who want to moderate their drinking, by reducing the ABV in some of its mid and low-strength beers, The Shout reported on September 1.

Carlton Mid, Cascade Premium Light and VB Gold, will all see their ABV reduced, although the brewer has said it has no plans to alter the strength of its mid-strength juggernaut Great Northern.

A CUB spokesperson said the decision was made to go ahead with the lower ABV beers when the brewers said they could make the change without impacting flavour.

“We have heard from consumers that for many low and mid-strength beer drinkers the alcohol content is less important than the flavour of the beer and its value. Our brewers are now able to reduce the alcohol by volume of these beers without compromising flavour, while continuing to offer consumers good value for money.”

The reduction of the ABV will mean the brewer can negate the impact of the CPI increase on beer and keep offering these popular products at a value price-point.

The changes will see Carlton Mid go from 3.5 per cent to 3.0 per cent, Cascade Premium Light will reduce ...More info on site


Brewery news UK: Molson Coors denies misleading customers over the strength of its Carling beer
Molson Coors has hit back at claims it has misled customers over the strength of its flagship lager brand, Carling, The Morning Advertiser reported on August 30.

The brewing giant issued a statement calling out recent media reports that Carling had been reduced from 4% ABV to 3.7% in 2012 to save on duty as “inaccurate”.

Last week, The Morning Advertiser's sister title The Grocer reported that Molson Coors had won an appeal against an HMRC claim that it owed more than £50 mln in unpaid duty in February and March of this year.

The company won the appeal by arguing it did not need to pay the tax due to a reformulation switch to manufacture Carling at a lower ABV of 3.7%, according to the publication.

However, the beer continued to be advertised at an ABV of 4% to prevent customers “demanding a slice” according to the tribunal document.

A Molson Coors spokesperson said mass media coverage of the appeal “oversimplified what is a complex and technical topic” and contained “factual inaccuracies”. However, the brewer would not specify what those inaccuracies were.

“A specialist tribunal took place to provide definitive legal opinion on the correct interpretation of complex and technical UK and EU legislation,” the ...More info on site


Brewery news Bulgaria: Kamenitza sells land plot that used to be the site of its Plovdiv brewery
Bulgarian brewer Kamenitza, part of U.S.-based Molson Coors Brewing Company, said on August 31 it has sold 30,500 sq m of land in the central part of Plovdiv city to two local companies which plan to develop a mixed-use construction project there, SeeNews reported.

The two firms, SI Investment and SI Development, plan to build an urban development that will comprise office and residential areas, a hotel, sports centre and retail outlets on the purchased site, Kamenitza said in a statement without disclosing the value of the deal.

Construction works on the project should start in 2018 and be completed in 2023. The project will open about 500 jobs.

The plot of land in Bulgaria's second largest city used to be the site of a Kamenitza brewery. In 2015 the company decided to relocate production to its other brewery, in the city of Haskovo, some 90 km southeast of Plovdiv.

Kamenitza will retain ownership of an adjacent 3,500 sq m plot of land on which it plans to build a multifunctional development comprising a craft beer microbrewery and a museum. Construction works on project, in which Kamenitza plans to invest 2 million euro ($2.15 million), will start in September and ...More info on site


Brewery news Bulgaria: Carlsberg Bulgaria names new CEO
The Bulgarian unit of Danish brewer Carlsberg said on August 30 it has appointed Denis Sherstennikov as its new CEO, SeeNews reported.

Sherstennikov is taking over from Dejan Beko who will manage Olympic Brewery in Greece, Carlsberg Bulgaria said in a press release.

"Carlsberg's business in Bulgaria has grown considerably in recent years, but we are going to take on a number of key activities and innovations which will move the company forward," Sherstennikov said in the statement.

Prior to the new appointment, Sherstennikov was a CEO at Olivaria Brewery in Belarus.

Barley news Canada: Statistics Canada expecting drop in wheat, barley, canola production this year
Statistics Canada is expecting to see a drop in production in wheat, barley and canola crops this year, it said in its latest report.

Total wheat production is anticipated at 25.5 million tonnes, down 19.5 per cent from last year. This is due to a projected yield drop of 20.1 per cent.

Canola production is expected to drop by 7.1 per cent to 18.2 million tonnes despite a rise in acres. The decrease in production is being attributed to lower average yields in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Statistics Canada also revised last year's canola production number from 18.4 million tonnes up to 19.6.

Brian Voth, president of IntelliFARM Inc., says canola prices may react later in the season.

"Once you get past corn harvest, and everything's in the bin, and nothing needs to be moved anymore because of space reasons, that's when I think you're really going to start to see those prices react."

Canadian soybean production is anticipated to reach another record high this year (up 19.8 per cent from 2016 to 7.7 million tonnes) due to a large increase in acres. Soybean yields are expected to decrease 10.9 per cent from 2016.

Voth notes some of these numbers could change as we get further into ...More info on site
