Brewery news Nigeria: Nigerian Breweries dismisses rumours of incentives to distributors and retail-shop owners
Nigerian Breweries plc has dismissed rumours making the rounds in the South-Eastern part of the country that it had budgeted N500 million for incentives to distributors and retail-shop owners, with a view to frustrating sales of Hero Lager beer produced by SABMiller plc, Business Day reported on February 3.

Vindah Edem, corporate media and brand public relations officer, NB, said it was impossible for NB to engage in such an unwholesome practice, having attained a reputable status in the industry.

“As a pioneer and leader, we believe in winning by competing fairly. Our long-lasting market leadership over the years has been based on consistent innovation to delight consumers with superior brands and programmes across multiple categories,’’ he said.

In the meantime, SABMiller has continued to invest hugely to compete favourably in the growing beer market. The world’s second largest brewery has concluded plans to invest $110 million in Onitsha brewery, owing to the success recorded by Hero Lager beer so far.

The Onitsha brewery has an annual production capacity of 700, 000 hectolitres, and ongoing expansion programmes in the company is expected to increase the figure to more than three folds, according to sources. It is also expected to increase the number of employees ...More info on site


Brewery news China & Australia: Tsingtao launches new campaign to broaden appeal with Australian consumers
China's Tsingtao beer has launched a new campaign designed to broaden its appeal with Australian beer drinkers, The Shout reported on February 5.

The ‘Tsingtaoism’ campaign was launched in Australia to coincide with the Chinese New Year Festival through a series of billboards shot at Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach, specifically tailored to make the international brand more relevant to the local market.

“Tsingtao aims to have Australians not only enjoy the beer at the Yum Cha table, but in other social environments such as barbeques and bars,” explained Mike O’Rourke, creative director at Bloke, the agency behind the new campaign.

“The concept of Tsigntaoism is all about friendship, social interaction, and enjoying yourself. The theme was evident throughout the campaign, even early on with the photo shoot down at Bondi Beach, with locals and backpackers engaged together, which supports Tsingtaoism.”

Barley news UK: Rise in demand for whisky determining spring barley varieties choice
The rapid rise in demand for malting barley by the Scottish whisky distilling industry is having an effect on the choice of spring barley varieties across Britain, Farmers Weekly reported on February 3.

Spring barley variety Propino is set to be the most popular this season although dual-purpose malting varieties look likely to gain in the coming years.

The variety is a favourite with the maltsters supplying brewers and could take nearly a quarter of the spring barley area, but varieties that can be used for brewing and whisky distilling are gaining popularity.

Barry Barker, national arable seeds product manager at distributor Agrii, says the variety is a clear favourite with the maltsters supplying the brewing industry.

“This spring, Propino will be the biggest variety, but dual-purpose varieties will become more important in the next couple of years,” he said.

Mr Barker expects the variety may take nearly 25% of the spring barley certified seed area drilled this season in the UK, up from just under a fifth of the market in 2013, helped by brewing demand and export.

In England, its share is likely to rise to about 30% from 25% as it takes market share from older malting types used in the brewing industry, ...More info on site
