Brewery news Japan & Australia: Asahi already getting headache from its Australian expansion
Asahi Group Holdings Ltd. is already getting a headache from its $11 billion Australian foray, Bloomberg reported on July 22.

Japan’s biggest brewer, seeking to escape a slow-growing, aging market at home, is buying the Australian assets of Anheuser-Busch InBev NV, which owns iconic but low-priced beers such as Victoria Bitter. To do so, Asahi will double its debt load and issue about 10% more in new shares. That’s becoming a hangover for investors, who lopped $2 billion from the brewer’s market value on July 22.

The deal is the latest in an overseas buying spree by Asahi, which picked up Fuller, Smith & Turner Plc’s brewing business for $330 million earlier this year and made an $11 billion push into Europe two years ago. The Japanese brewer, along with Kirin Holdings Co. and Sapporo Holdings Ltd., has seen domestic beer shipments decline for 14 straight years as fewer people reach legal drinking age. To stay ahead of rivals, Asahi now appears to be more willing to weigh down its balance sheet.

“The question is whether Asahi can effectively manage the business, while improving profits and cash flows,” said Toshiyasu Ohashi, chief credit analyst at Daiwa Securities Group Inc., who added that Asahi’s ...More info on site


Brewery news Portugal: January-April beer sales show double-digit yoy growth
Beer sales in Portugal witnessed double-digit year-on-year growth in the period between January and April 2019, a new study has revealed.

The data, sourced from Nielsen, was shared by Nuno Pinto de Magalhães, director of communication and institutional relations at Portuguese brewery Sociedade Central de Cervejas (SCC), reports the Jornal Economico.

This positive trend has continued in May, with Pinto de Magalhães attributing the market growth to good weather, increased consumer confidence and improved purchasing power.

Figures published by the national brewers association, Cervejeiros de Portugal, show that the Portuguese consumed 527.6 million litres of beer in 2018, up 0.5% on the previous year.

Beer consumption in the HoReCa channel was 69%, while the take-home channel accounted for the remaining 31%.

However, beer production saw a 3.3% decline in Portugal in 2018 to 676.3 million litres.

Beer exports fell 14.6% year-on-year to 162.2 million litres, while imports declined 10.9% to 19.8 million litres.


Brewery news Switzerland: Microbreweries battling for share of growing Swiss beer market
As beer consumption in Switzerland decreases, the country’s love of beer is driving an explosion of local craft beer brewers. Now home to more than 1,000 breweries, is there a risk of market saturation?

It is a little-known fact, but Switzerland holds an unusual world record; that of having the most breweries per capita.

At the end of last year, it was home to 1,021 active beer producers putting it ahead of countries like the Czech Republic, Germany, Belgium, Austria or Canada which have long-standing reputations for brewing the amber liquid, swissinfo.ch reported on July 23.

The industry’s growth over the last 20 years has boomed. In 2000, there were just 81 registered breweries in Switzerland. From 2011, there has been a tripling of beer producers.

“This development gives us great pleasure because it helps to incite the interest of the population,” comments Marcel Kreber, director of the Swiss Brewers Association.

“The more than 1,000 breweries – large or small, professional or amateur – are all representatives of this thousand-year-old craft.”

That said, Kreber cautions that the figures should be taken with a pinch of salt.

“As soon as a person brews more than 400 litres a year, they are subject to beer tax and ...More info on site


Brewery news Australia: Asahi’s takeover of CUB could help revive beer sales in Australia
The A$16 billion takeover of Carlton & United Breweries by Japan's Asahi could help revive beer sales in Australia after a multi-year slump, industry executives say, as the competition regulator confirmed it would investigate the blockbuster deal, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.

Carlton & United Breweries (CUB), the maker of some of the country's biggest and best-known beers including Carlton Draught, Victoria Bitter, Great Northern and Pure Blonde, was sold by its former multinational parent company Anheuser Busch InBev in a landmark transaction announced on July 19.

In his first public comments since the deal was announced, CUB chief Peter Filipovic on July 21 said his company, which runs the Abbotsford brewery, Hobart's Cascade brewery and Yatala brewery near Brisbane, would benefit from the tie-up. "We look forward to growing the business and the beer category with Asahi," he said.

"Not only will we continue to brew our famous beers such as VB and Carlton Draught in Australia, but we'll join a company that has fantastic beers such as Asahi and Peroni."

The proposed tie-up of Asahi and CUB will trigger a review by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission scrutinising the amount of market share the combined company would control.

Brewery news South Africa: Commission sees benefits in SAB’s takeover of Smirnoff, Guinness products
The Competition Commission has recommended the Competition Tribunal approve a transaction whereby South African Breweries (SAB) intends to acquire the rights to a range of products from Diageo South Africa, the Engineering News reported on July 19.

The Diageo brands in question include Smirnoff’s ready-to-drink (RTD) products namely Storm, Guarana, Spin, Pine Twist and Berry Twist products, excluding the Smirnoff Vodka brand, as well as Guinness’ products, excluding its Foreign Extra Stout and Malta brands.

The rights comprise the licences to manufacture, market, distribute and sell the products.

Additionally, Diageo owns 11 000 coolers and fridges that will be acquired by SAB as a result of the transaction.

The commission found that the merger raised a material competition overlap in the market for the manufacture and supply of flavoured alcoholic beverages (FABs).

The FABs market is a highly concentrated market in South Africa, with Distell being the outright dominant player and the proposed merger will likely create further concentration in this market.

The merger substantially alters the structure of the FABs market as it is essentially a combination of the second- and third-largest players, SAB and Diageo, in the FABs market.

Given the relatively high post-merger market share of the merged entity, the commission considered various ...More info on site


Brewery news The Netherlands: AB InBev launches Bud in the Netherlands
AB InBev has launched its U.S. brand, Bud, on the Dutch market, The Brussels Times reported on July 22.

According to the giant Belgian beer consortium, Bud is the sector’s strongest brand on the world market. It stands out among those sold in the Netherlands, such as Jupiter, Leffe, Hertog Jan and Corona, the local branch of AB InBev argues, noting that it is mostly associated with after-work pints and festivals, so its target public is between 18 and 35 years old.

Market studies conducted by AB Inbev have found that the Dutch drinking public is happy at the arrival of a new actor on the beer scene, seeing it as a response to a real demand.

After its launch in hotels, bars, cafés and restaurants, the Bud, which will be competing with the national number-one beer, Heineken, will be available in shops and stores from autumn.

Known as Budweiser at home in the United States, where it appeared in the 19th century, the brand shortened its name to Bud in Europe due to a complaint filed by the Czech brewery Budweiser Budvar. It became a subsidiary of AB InBev in 2008.

Bud destined for the market will be brewed soon in Leuven, but there ...More info on site


Brewery news South Korea & Japan: South Koreans boycotting Japanese beer
Beer-loving South Koreans angered by a trade row with Tokyo are boycotting Japanese brews in a surge of patriotism that has even seen popular beauty bloggers targeted, the Japan Today reported on July 20.

Japan this month unveiled tough restrictions on exports crucial to tech titans like Samsung, fuelling fears about the impact on the global tech sector, while South Korea's central bank warned it could have "no small impact" on the economy.

Officials from both countries have held hours of terse talks to settle the worsening crisis but there has so far been no sign of a detente.

But beer drinkers in the South are making their fury known, shunning four big Japanese brands in favor of other brews, according to E-Mart, the country's largest hypermarket chain.

Sales of Asahi, Kirin, Sapporo and Suntory beer fell nearly 25 percent in the first two weeks of July compared with the second half of June, it said.

"This is a sudden drop we haven't seen for a long time," an E-Mart official told AFP, adding that sales of Korean beer brands were up around seven percent in the same period.

The trade spat is the latest escalation in a bitter decades-long feud over Japan's use of forced ...More info on site

The European Union’s crop monitoring service, MARS, on July 22 cut its forecast of the EU soft wheat yield this year to 6.04 tonnes per hectare (t/ha) from 6.10 t/ha last month.

That would still be 7.3% above last year’s level and 1.6% higher than the average of the past five years, MARS said in a monthly report.
