Brewery news UK: Beer duty freeze would secure 2,400 jobs - brewers
A freeze in beer duty in the 2014 budget would secure 2,400 jobs, promote growth and investment in Britain’s beer industry, The Drinks Business reported on January 30.

Last year the beer duty tax escalator was scrapped leading to renewed confidence in the sector and resulting in an increase in beer sales for two consecutive quarters for the first time in 10 years.

Industry CEOs are now pushing for a freeze on beer tax in this year’s budget and have put forward their case to Economic Secretary to the Treasury, Nicky Morgan MP.

Between 2008 to 2013 beer tax has increased by 42 per cent, despite beer sales dropping by 21 per cent.

In that time 7,000 pubs have closed representing a loss of 58,000 jobs in the UK.

British beer drinkers paying 42 per cent of the entire EU beer duty bill while beer and pubs contribute £22 billion to UK GDP and generate £11 billion in tax revenue.

A freeze in this year’s budget would lead to 2,400 additional jobs in the first year alone, at a cost of £4 million to the Government, and provide a further boost to the industry, according to new research from independent experts Oxford Economics.

Brewery news Namibia & China: Namibia Breweries Limited starts shipping beer to China
The Chinese authorities have accepted the first ever consignment of Namibian brewed beer, a significant feat in the trade relationship between Namibia and China, second only to the first ever conclusive agreement on Animal Health and Quarantine the two countries signed in 2011, All Africa reported on January 29.

Namibia Breweries Limited exported the Windhoek Lager beer brand in early December last year from the port of Walvis Bay and the consignment arrived in China on January 7.

"Windhoek Lager was exported and received with open arms as the demand for Windhoek Lager increases with [Chinese] locals travelling to Namibia and South Africa," the manager for Global Sales at Namibia Breweries Limited (NBL) Goose Goosen said this week.

The consignment was shipped to test and gauge market response, but Goosen says there is "a preference for Windhoek Lager and Windhoek Draught." Namibia has been working to diversify its exports to China, and to move away from the export of raw minerals and to promote greater value addition in Namibia. The breakthrough finally came in 2011 with a formalised agreement and subsequent visits by Chinese authorities to validate various export facilities in 2012. This was after years of negotiations, and intense diplomatic discussions, ...More info on site


Brewery news USA: Heineken introduces 8.5 oz slim can format
Heineken US is to introduce the first 8.5 oz slim can format in the premium price segment. From 1 March 2014, Heineken 8.5 oz slim can 12-packs will roll out at retail outlets across the US, FoodBev.com reported on January 30.

"The 8.0 oz to 8.9 oz can size experienced explosive growth in 2012, growing 356% in case volume and 522% in dollar volume and now represents an 8.2 million case segment and growing," said Belen Pamukoff, Heineken brand director for Heineken US. "42% of that growth is generated in the c-store channel, where the 8.5 oz can format is outpacing all other sizes and is a preferred pack size among ethnic consumers.

"We are excited to now offer shoppers Heineken 8.5 oz slim cans, the first premium 8.5 oz format that caters to the growing Hispanic and African American demographic who prefer upscale beer and Heineken to mainstream counterparts.

"The 8.5 oz can is the perfect size for outdoor and sports-viewing occasions. The smaller can size ensures a colder liquid per serving, while Heineken's superior taste and contemporary upscale pack graphics provide consumers with a premium and memorable beer-drinking experience."


Brewery news Russia: Ban on beer at sporting events may be lifted as early as this year
A leading lawmaker in Russia has called on the ban on selling beer at sporting events to be lifted ahead of the country hosting the football World Cup in 2018, echoing a similar earlier appeal by President Vladimir Putin, The Moscow News reported on January 31.

Igor Rudensky, who heads the Committee on Economic Policy, Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the State Duma, said that allowing the sale of beer in stadiums would be in tune with widely accepted international practice.

The ban could potentially be lifted as early as this year.

The sale of beer and beer advertising was banned at sports venues in 2005 as part of a wide series of measures aimed at slashing alcohol consumption in Russia.

Rudensky said that while the prohibition of beer could be reconsidered, spirits should remain banned and that fans needed to develop a more responsible drinking culture. Under proposal made by Rudensky, the sale of beer would be restricted to stadium eateries.

Then-Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said two years ago that beer should be allowed at the 2018 World Cup.

“In Europe and all over the world, beer is sold without problems,” Putin said. “During the World Cup, we have to allow it in any case, because ...More info on site
