Brewery news USA: YTD beer sales in money terms up 3.5%
Year-to-date beer category dollar sales are up 3.5 percent in the US, to nearly $19.5 billion, in off-premise retailers tracked by market research firm IRI.

According the Chicago-based firm, three segments — imports (+5.9), flavored malt beverages (+27.7 percent) and domestic super premiums (+12.6 percent) — have achieved nine-figure sales growth through July 14 in its multi-outlet and convenience store universe. In fact, dollar sales of FMBs, including popular hard seltzers, have nearly reached $1.9 billion this year.

Category-wide trends were even stronger during the four weeks ending July 14, due to the important July 4 holiday. In that time, sales grew 5.7 percent, to more than $3.4 billion, and volume sales increased 2.3 percent. In that four-week period, FMB sales increased 38.2 percent.

Portfolio-wide dollar sales for Mark Anthony Brands, which makes the top-selling hard seltzer brand, White Claw, grew 57.2 percent, to more than $624 million. Those numbers accelerated over the last four weeks, growing 70.5 percent, with more than $152 million in dollar sales.

Through mid-July, dollar sales of White Claw’s variety pack increased 267.5 percent, while sales of its Black Cherry flavor increased nearly 269 percent. Those two offerings alone have accounted for more than $214 million in off-premise retail ...More info on site

Brewery news Ireland: Sales of low- and non-alcoholic beer jump 60% last year
Sales of low and non-alcoholic beer jumped by 60 per cent in Ireland last year and most consumers are keen to see more of these products on sale locally, the Irish Times reported on July 28.

That is according to the Irish Brewers Association (IBA) which forecasts that more independent and craft producers are likely to follow in the footsteps of drinks giants such as Diageo and Heineken in introducing low and non-alcoholic beers.

According to a survey conducted by the IBA, as many as 57 per cent of Irish consumers want greater availability of non-alcoholic products.

The move comes as official figures highlight a significant drop in alcohol consumption generally since the turn of the century.

Sales of low and non-alcoholic beer increased by 60 per cent in the Republic between 2017 and 2018, to 30,000 hectolitres.

Beer remains the most popular alcoholic drink in the Republic, accounting for just under 45 per cent market share of all booze consumed in 2017. In addition, beer production rose to just over 8 million that year as against 7.68 million hectolitres in 2016.

Jonathan McDade, head of the IBA, said health-conscious consumers are increasingly choosing quality over quantity when it comes to alcohol.

Brewery news UK: Demand for non-alcoholic beer continues to rise
Demand for non-alcoholic beer continues to rise in the UK, with growth at 25% for the year to date for AB InBev, BeverageDaily.com reported on July 26.

Its beers in the alcohol-free category include Budweiser Prohibition and Beck’s Blue.

“We have seen demand for no alcohol beer continue to rise, with growth at 25% year to date and Beck’s Blue the number one beer in this category,” said Paula Lindenberg, president, Budweiser Brewing Group UK&I (which changed its name from AB InBev UK earlier this year).

“In the low-alcohol segment, Camden Town Brewery launched its new 3% ABV beer Week Nite and Bud Light is growing by double digits in both the on-trade (pubs and bars) and off-trade (retail).

"The growth of no-and-low alcohol beers highlights that consumers are looking for moderation without compromising their social lives.”

The world’s largest brewer is working towards a goal of having 20% of its global beer volumes in no and low alcohol beer by 2025.

AB InBev is not alone in reporting growth of no and low alcohol beer sales. Last week brewer and pub owner Robinsons Brewery said it has seen a 'dramatic increase' in sales of no and low alcoholic beers and ciders, with ...More info on site


Brewery news USA: Boston Beer’s second-quarter net revenue increases by 16.6%
The Boston Beer Company, Inc. reported second quarter 2019 net revenue of $318.4 million, an increase of $45.3 million or 16.6%, from the same period last year. Net income for the second quarter was $27.9 million, or $2.36 per diluted share, an increase of $4.3 million or $0.38 per diluted share from the second quarter of 2018. This increase was primarily due to increased revenue, partially offset by lower gross margins and increases in advertising, promotional and selling expenses.

Net revenue for the 26-week period ended June 29, 2019 was $570.1 million, an increase of $106.5 million, or 23.0%, from the comparable 26-week period in 2018. Earnings per diluted share for the 26-week period ended June 29, 2019 were $4.38, an increase of $1.62 from the comparable 26-week period in 2018.

In the second quarter and the 26-week period ended June 29, 2019, the company recorded a tax benefit of $0.02 per diluted share and $0.17 per diluted share, respectively, resulting from the Accounting Standard "Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09").

On July 3, 2019, the company completed its merger with the Dogfish Head Brewery for a total consideration consisting of $173.0 million in cash and 429,292 shares of restricted ...More info on site


Brewery news Belgium: Non-alcoholic Leffe beer already on sale
While Trappist beer is "abbey beer," not all "abbey beer" is Trappist, Aleteia reported on July 27.

The Leffe brewing label announced, earlier this year, that they would make history as the first abbey beer company to produce a non-alcoholic version of their famous Belgium brew. The move follows a surge in the popularity of non-alcoholic beverages, a growing trend in 2019.

Brewed by monks, or by companies to whom the monks license their methods, Belgium’s abbey beers are a staple of the country’s culture. Known for their high alcohol content, the decision marks a distinct broadening of their line of products.

The Telegraph reports that Belgium, where, in a recent survey, 62% of the population said they drank too much, has been fast to jump on the non-alcoholic bandwagon. In 2018, sales of non-alcoholic beer rose 30% in the country of 11.35 million.

The change was decided by Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world’s largest brewing company. In 2016, AB InBev launched non-alcoholic versions of Budweiser and Corona, which CNN Business notes have been well received. The brewing company has predicted that 20% of the world’s beer production will be focused on non-alcoholic beer by 2025.

Leffe’s non-alcoholic brew is significantly different from other brands, because ...More info on site


Brewery news India: AB InBev banned from selling its products in New Delhi for evading local taxes
India’s capital city has banned the world’s largest brewer, Anheuser-Busch InBev, from selling its products in the key New Delhi market for 3 years for allegedly evading local taxes, government orders seen by Reuters showed.

The city government orders from earlier this month followed a 3-year investigation which found that beer maker SABMiller - acquired by AB InBev in 2016 for around $100 billion - used duplicate barcodes on its beer bottles supplied to city retailers that year, allowing it to pay lower levies.

AB InBev said in a statement it denied the Delhi government’s allegations and would appeal against the order.

“The barcodes were being duplicated by ... SABMiller and supplied to the retail outlets to evade payment of excise duty,” said a 19-page order, dated July 16, which detailed the findings.

In a second order last week, the Delhi city authority said that AB InBev should be put on a “blacklist” for three years. It also called for the sealing of two of AB InBev’s warehouses in the capital city, an action that a senior Delhi government official told Reuters on July 30 had already been completed.

“This means the company is debarred from Delhi market for all purposes, unless they appeal against ...More info on site


Brewery news Australia: Australian beer turning Japanese in a mature market
It was a sunny day back in the 80s and star Australian cricketer Allan Border was lounging on a beach under a sunhat, feeling "a XXXX coming on".

In one of Australian television's biggest commercials of the time, he was promoting the beer Castlemaine XXXX, with a bit of help from fellow cricketers including legendary fast bowler Jeff Thomson, the Brisbane Times reported on July 25.

About the same time as Border spruiked XXXX, one of Australia's most popular celebrities of the decade, Paul Hogan, was promoting Fosters on British television.

Fosters was basically being painted as the national drink and "Hoges" was persuading the Brits to imbibe.

Fast forward 30 or so years, and the TV beer commercials have changed. The people promoting beer these days often have bushy beards, women in bikinis have disappeared from the ads and the stars aren't as recognisable as AB or Hoges.

But there's another thing that has changed: The drinking habits of Australians. Beer drinkers are turning to contemporary brews such as Pure Blonde (did beers have names like this in the 1980s?), Great Northern and Hahn.

The age old names like Victoria Bitter, Carlton Draught, Tooheys and XXXX are still big sellers, but they're increasingly fighting for ...More info on site



BarleyBarley News Barley


Barley news Canada: Barley exports in August-April total 1.75 mln tonnes
Canada’s barley exports in August-April 2018/19 were 1.75 mln tonnes, of which 1.27 mln tonnes to China and 0.3 mln tonnes to Japan, H. M. Gauger GmbH said in their July report.

As per StatsCan June survey, barley plantings are 7.4 mln ha vs. 7.15 mln ha last year. The largest barley provinces are Alberta with 3.5 mln and Saskatchewan with 3.15 mln ha.

IGC forecasts a crop of 9.3 mln tonnes vs. 8.4 mln in 2018. Recent rains saved the Prairies barley crop from a disaster, but parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan are still dry and need rainfalls to continue.

The Lethbridge feed markets were tight all year long, drove feed barley prices up to around C$290 and needed large imports of U.S. corn. As corn prices look firm for the campaign to come, barley will be in good demand, likely to increase price levels for maltsters and exporters, the Gauger analysts believe.


Barley news UK: Craft brewing boom keeps specialist barley in demand
Specialist malting barley varieties are proving their worth in the 2019 East Anglian harvest, with growers and merchants reporting some good yields and strong premiums, the Eastern Daily Press reported on July 26.

Norfolk grain merchant Adams and Howling said the craft ale market is fuelling increasing demand for traditional varieties such as Maris Otter and Flagon.

With the winter barley harvest in Norfolk and Suffolk around 90pc complete, the firm's joint managing director Matthew Adams said while there had been some quality issues after the dry conditions earlier in the season, maltsters had been prepared to adjust their specifications for the most sought-after traditional varieties.

"A demanding market for a crop is always an asset for a grower," he said. "We have certainly found that this year when some of the crops have had quality issues and the maltsters have adjusted their tolerances to make sure they can be used, because there is such strong demand for these niche products.

"These are varieties that people know will carry a yield penalty in comparison to the feed varieties, but with Flagon being over 20 years old and Maris Otter being over 50, there is a lot of experience associated with these varieties and the ...More info on site
