Brewery news UK: Carlsberg and Molson Coors announce increases in their wholesale prices
Carlsberg and Molson Coors have become the first of the UK brewers to announce increases in their wholesale prices, with other brands expected to follow, Metro reported on December 18.

This means it could cost 6p extra a pint for pubs which buy draught beers by the barrel – and even more for customers shelling out at the bar.

Simon Clarke, landlord at the Eagle Ale House in Battersea, south London fears this will sound another death knell for pubs, with punters heading to take advantage of supermarket offers instead.

He said: ‘If the pub’s company also wants to make a 50 per cent profit that’s going to be another 6p.

‘And then, if the pub also wanted a 50 per cent profit, you’re looking at a 24p increase on a pint, effectively.

‘It’s putting the pub in a really difficult situation because they just can’t afford to increase their prices that much.’

The decision was blamed on rising production, energy and fuel costs.

Carlsberg – which also owns brands such as Tuborg and Tetley – will bring the changes into effect from January 6.

Its spokesman said: ‘We are fully aware of the challenging market for our customers and have absorbed as much cost as possible to ...More info on site


Brewery news USA: Big brewers decrying favoritism for their microbrewery competitors
American microbreweries are asking the government to cut their federal excise tax so they can grab more market share from Coors, Budweiser, Corona, Miller and other brands that have become household names, The Coloradoan reported on December 19.

The big beer makers, meanwhile, support proposals that would cut excise taxes for all brewers, regardless of size.

Both sides, which were once united, are polite enough to praise the products made by the other camp but disagree on how to reduce one type of tax that affects the price of beer.

Though neither side’s proposals are likely to advance on their own, both camps want their ideas included in a future overhaul of the U.S. tax code.

Making the case for the nation’s 2,700 microbreweries is the House Small Brewers Caucus, founded in 2007 by Oregon Reps. Pete DeFazio, a Democrat, and Greg Walden, a Republican.

The 123 caucus members get together a couple of times a year to sample a range of handcrafted brews.

But the group is about more than just suds and smiles, DeFazio said in a recent interview. It’s also backing the Small Brew Act introduced in February by its Republican co-chairman, Pennsylvania Rep. Jim Gerlach. Similar measures died in two previous Congresses.

Brewery news Italy: AB InBev has to change Budweiser labelling in Italy until February 10
A court has given Anheuser-Busch InBev until 10 February to change the labelling for Budweiser to 'Bud' in Italy after another legal tussle with Budejovický Budvar.

Italy's Supreme Court found in favour of the Czech brewer in October, allowing Budvar to start selling its flaghsip lager brand as Budweiser Budvar again in the country. The court ruled that AB InBev must stop selling its brand as Budweiser in Italy.

However, Budvar on December 18 claimed that AB InBev had failed to withdraw Budweiser in the market. As a result, Budvar said it had been forced to ask Milan's Commerical Court to intervene.

“Since our business interests are being severely harmed and Italian consumers are being further deceived, we had to ask the Commercial Court in Milan for help,” Budvar's sales director Robert Chrt said.

In response to Budvar's plea, the Commerical Court has set a 10 February deadline for AB InBev to comply with its ruling.

But in a statement on December 19, AB InBev said it “had already decided to transition to Bud in Italy, but the transition had not yet been completed”.

The Belgium-headquartered brewer added: “AB InBev is pleased with the result of the hearing as the goal ...More info on site


Brewery news Peru: Backus introduces new Quinua Special Edition of Cusqueña Beer
Backus Premium Brand has introduced its Quinua Special Edition of Cusqueña Beer available for sale in Peru, Drinks Business Review reported on December 20.

Cusqueña Beer is a blend of pearl quinoa, selected malted barley, corn, hints of orange and peach, hops and natural pure water.

The new edition is packaged in 750ml bottle featuring a carved image of Machu Picchu, an important icon of its home town, Cusco.

Cusqueña Brand director Edwards Taboada said that for this new variety of Cusqueña Beer, the collaboration of the consumers has been very important.

"Because they voted, through the web page, for the main ingredient of the special edition," Taboada added.

"This was added to Backus' brew masters' experience and the final recommendations given by Gastón Acurio."

This new product is currently available in major supermarkets, convenience stores and shops nationwide starting 15 December 2013.
