Brewery news World: Molson Coors Beverage Company sees 15.1% decline in Q2 2020 revenue
As the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the on-premise channel continue to be felt worldwide, Molson Coors Beverage Company reported $2.5 billion in net revenue for the second quarter of 2020, a 15.1% decline compared to the same period last year.

In the U.S., the company’s Q2 brand volumes declined 5.2%, while domestic shipments (sales-to-wholesalers) declined 6.5%. Molson Coors’ total North America brand volumes declined 7.8%, due to “aluminum can supply and other packaging material constraints,” according to the company’s quarterly earnings release.

“Consumer demand has shifted in a way no one could have foreseen six months ago, when bars and restaurants were shuttered in the early part of Q2 and demand for kegs in the U.S. went to zero,” CEO Gavin Hattersley said in a conference call with investors and analysts. “Conversely, demand for cans went through the roof.”

Molson Coors expects can shortages to be a problem in Q3 too, as the company builds inventory to meet consumer demand for two of its new, popular offerings Vizzy Hard Seltzer and Blue Moon Light Sky, with both packaged in 12 oz. slim cans, global chief financial officer Tracey Joubert said. Next month, the company will launch another slim can offering: Coors ...More info on site

Brewery news Zimbabwe & South Africa: Delta Corporation sees beer volumes dip, soft drinks increase in Q2 this year
COVID-19 restrictions and the economic crisis combined to cause a dip in the consumption of beer for Delta Corporation, but soft drink are up, The Zimbabwe Mail reported on July 31.

Delta says Zimbabweans drank 18% less lager beer in the three months to June than they did over the same time last year, a period that itself had low consumption. Drinkers had 51% less sorghum beer in the last quarter. However, there was more consumption of soft drinks, up 35% in the quarter.

Beer sales were already under pressure due to the economic crisis. The lockdown measures, announced in March, made things worse as bars and many bottle stores were closed.

“Trading in alcoholic beverages was restricted to off-premise outlets for home consumption in line with the COVID-19 guidelines,” Delta said in a statement on July 31.

For sorghum drinkers, there was even less incentive to drink as prices rose higher than in any other drinks category. This was due to an increase in the cost of imported inputs, such as packaging and brewing cereals.

But it was good news for soft drinks. Sparkling beverages volume grew by 35% for the quarter compared to prior year, a time when soft drinks were recovering after ...More info on site


Brewery news USA: Craft beer volumes estimated to have declined around 10% in January-June
The Brewers Association 2020 Midyear Survey shows both the variety of market challenges for craft brewers during the pandemic and the challenges of gathering accurate survey data. The Brewers Association (BA), a trade association that represents craft brewers by its definition and is always a great resource for info regardless of what you think of that definition, recently released another survey of its membership, trying to capture a sense of industry growth or decline in what was still a thriving market in 2019, the Craft Brewing Business reports.

Last year, craft brewers collectively produced 26.3 million barrels of beer and realized just under 4 percent total growth, increasing craft’s overall beer market share by volume to 13.6 percent, according to other BA info. But, how’s the first half of 2020 been? As one might expect, not great. Bart Watson, economist for the BA, explained:

'Based on the results of our midyear survey, it appears that craft volumes declined around 10% in the first half of 2020 versus the same period in 2019.

'Yet, there is still optimism in the industry. In the same survey, it’s noted that most brewers forecasted modest growth in the second half.

'One final piece we asked about was brewers ...More info on site


Brewery news The Philippines: San Miguel Food and Beverages have started to recover with the gradual re-opening of the economy
Diversified conglomerate San Miguel Corporation reported that its food and beverage businesses under San Miguel Food and Beverages have started to recover with the gradual re-opening of the economy, the Manila Bulletin said on July 30.

“With the government’s easing of restrictions on transportation, the operation of business establishments, and consumption of alcoholic beverages, we’ve been recovering a lot of lost ground,” said SMC President and Chief Operating Officer Ramon S. Ang.

He noted that, “Recovery started around second half of May to June, when government gradually restarted our economy and kept it going.”

Ang said that, for SMC, the re-opening, even with limitations has had a “domino effect” on smaller businesses in its supply chain.

“With consumption up, many of our own employees and those of our partners, dealers, suppliers, contract growers, and service providers are working again. On top of that, nationwide, a lot of micro, small, to medium enterprises—from sari-sari stores, retailers, bottle collectors, haulers, and the like—are also able to resume their business and livelihood,” Ang said.

He added that, “This helps ensure that more Filipinos won’t go hungry and are more resilient to the impact of this crisis.”

Brewery news Ireland: Beer consumption drops to just over 4 mln hl in Q2 2020
According to Ireland tax body's provisional figures, beer consumption dropped from 4.9 million litres in the second quarter of 2019 to just over 4 million in the same period this year, the Irish Examiner reported on July 30.

Spirits declined from 2.2 million in the second quarter of 2019 to 1.8 million in 2020.

Wine however saw a spike in consumption, with almost 26.3 million litres compared to almost 23.9 last year.

Cider fell by almost 1.8 million litres to 16.3 million in 2020.

Beer receipts brought in almost €87.8m in excise, compared to €106.2m in the same three-month period in 2019, while wine excise increased to €103.5m in the second quarter compared with €93.4m a year earlier.

There was a mixed reaction to the figures.

Alcohol industry group Drinks Industry Group of Ireland (DIGI) called the drop in sales "stark", while anti-alcohol misuse group Alcohol Action Ireland said it was a "modest reduction" considering the measures that had been put in place during lockdown.

DIGI chairperson Rosemary Garth said: "The alcohol clearance figures released by the Revenue Commissioner, confirm the dramatic impact the pandemic has had on the hospitality sector. For the 210,000 people who depend on pubs, hotels, restaurants and manufacturers for their ...More info on site


Brewery news UK: Alcohol consumption during lockdown period drops by almost half
Brits consumed 1.3 billion litres of alcohol during the UK’s lockdown period, which was almost half the 2 billion litres recorded during the same period last year, according to data from Nielsen Scantrack and CGA. This is despite UK consumers spending an additional £1.9 billion on alcohol in supermarkets since lockdown began, as consumers shifted spend from pubs and restaurants, Drinks Retailing News reported on July 30.

Nielsen data shows that in the 17-week period covering lockdown to July 11 2020, UK consumers spent £7.7 billion on alcohol in UK supermarkets, this is an additional £1.9 billion compared to the same time last year. However the lack of on-trade purchases - alcohol bought from restaurants, pubs and cafes - has led to a lower volume of alcohol sold overall.

In this same period, Nielsen data shows that beer was the most popular drink of the lockdown period, with sales totalling £2.2 billion during the full 17-week period. This is an additional £737 million spent overall on beer in supermarkets compared to the same time last year.

Beer has become the drink of lockdown, with Nielsen data showing that in the week ending May 30 2020 - which covered the bank holiday weekend - ...More info on site


Brewery news South Africa: Heineken shuts down production, halts R6bn expansion plans for North Coast
In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and the collapse of the restaurant and bar trade, Heineken South Africa has been forced to shut down production entirely, the North Coast Courier reported on July 31.

This has significantly impacted the company’s ambitious growth strategy, with the beer giant withdrawing its plans to expand its geographic footprint onto the North Coast.

Heineken’s proposed R6-billion production facility was expected to provide a massive financial boost for the region, creating 400 permanent new jobs and making many more service-related employment opportunities available.

The Inyaninga site near Dube TradePort had been earmarked for its new brewery.

The Heineken portfolio includes eight brands:

Heineken, Amstel, Windhoek, Sol, Miller Genuine Draft, Strongbow Cider, Soweto Gold and Tafel.

The company said with no end date in sight for the ban on alcohol sales, executive salaries had been cut by 20% from May to December and no bonuses would be paid.

The South African Liquor Brandowners Association (Salba), the Beer Association of South Africa, Vinpro, and the Liquor Traders Association of South Africa have warned that restricting legal alcohol sales will lead to the growth of illicit alcohol trade.

“The liquor industry has a wide and deep value chain employing almost one million people across the ...More info on site
