Brewery news India: State Bank of India finalises plans to sell 2.8% stake in United Breweries to Heineken
Lenders led by the State Bank of India have finalised plans to sell about 2.8 per cent stake in United Breweries to the beer maker’s largest shareholder, Heineken, as they seek to recover money owed to them by Vijay Mallya, the Economic Times reported on March 4.

The shares, worth about Rs 913 crore based on United Breweries’ market value on March 3, were pledged by UB Holdings against loans when Mallya had controlled the companies.

These shares are now in the custody of the liquidator for Mallya’s assets, appointed by a special Mumbai court dealing with money-laundering cases.

UB Holdings is currently controlled by the world's largest liquor company, Diageo.


Brewery news USA: Year-to-date beer category dollar sales are up 6% in off-premise
Driven by the continued growth of hard seltzer, year-to-date beer category dollar sales are up 6% at off-premise retailers to start the year, according to market research firm IRI.

The Chicago-based firm — which tracks scans at major retail chains, grocery outlets and convenience stores — said dollar sales of flavored malt beverages (FMBs), non-alcoholic beers, and domestic super premium offerings drove most of the growth during the year-to-date period ending January 26, 2020.

FMBs, including hard seltzers, led the way, growing nearly 60% during the first four weeks of the year. Dollar sales of non-alcoholic offerings trailed closely behind, growing 44.7% on the strength of consumer interest in Dry January. Meanwhile, dollar sales of domestic super premium beers (like Michelob Ultra) grew 11.2%.

Sales of craft beer got off to a rather sluggish start in January, with dollar sales growing just 1.1%. Nevertheless, craft brewers were able to find pockets of growth within the category, including IPAs (+9.2%), golden ales (+8.2%), pale lagers (+14.1%) and pilsners (+11.9%).

Among the top-30 individual craft brands, New Belgium’s Voodoo Ranger Liquid Paradise IPA and Sierra Nevada’s Hazy Little Thing IPA experienced the best growth.

Hazy Little Thing, which was introduced at the beginning of 2018, is now ...More info on site

British spirits giant Diageo has bought shares worth about Rs 352 crore or 0.7 per cent in United Spirits, raising its total stake in India's largest liquor firm to 55.9 per cent, the Economic Times reported on March 2.
