0 South Africa: South Africa suffering beer shortages

Beer drinkers in South Africa are becoming increasingly frustrated as both Amstel and Heineken products have been in short supply, UPI reported May 6.

The beer shortages began in March when Dutch brewer Heineken stopped allowing a regional distributor to brew and sell Amstel Lager after nearly 40 years of producing the alcoholic beverage, The Cape Argus reported Sunday.

Many beer drinkers turned to the Heineken as a temporary replacement and Heineken became scarce throughout the nation.

"Amstel used to be our number-one seller, but when we could no longer obtain that we found many drinkers turned to Heineken and that became the number one," said Annie Barendse, a bar manager in Cape Town.

Heineken has plans to build a local brewery in South Africa in the future, but said in March that it would take nearly five months for Amstel bottles to become available, the Cape Argus said.

0 Brazil: Ambev must pay alcoholic beer taster

A Brazilian court has ordered local brewer Ambev to pay 100,000 reals (US$49,400; euro36,400) to an alcoholic beer taster who drank about a liter and a half (3.2 pints) of beer each day, Associated Press reported May 6.

The unidentified employee alleged that the company did not provide the health measures needed to keep him from developing alcoholism, a labor court in the Rio Grande do Sul state said in a statement Friday.

The employee said in his lawsuit that for more than a decade, he drank between 16 and 25 small glasses of beer during his eight-hour shifts at the company

The employee said he also received a bottle of beer after each shift.

An initial ruling had favored Ambev, or Companhia de Bebidas das Americas, which can still appeal the decision. The company alleged the employee already was an alcoholic before becoming a beer taster.

Judge Jose Felipe Ledur said the company still was negligent because an alcoholic should never have been made a beer taster.

Ledur also said the employee's alcohol dependency had worsened in recent years and that even on vacation, the employee felt like drinking the same amount of beer he drank at work.

0 Germany: The hottest and sunniest spring this year is increasing beer consumption and killing barley growing

The beer garden season started early in Germany this year because this year happens to have one of the hottest and the sunniest springs on record, CNN reported May 8. However, those enjoying their cold blond brew in Munich don't realise the sun they worship is killing barley grower, Wolfgang Lichti's crop.

Lichti grows barley one of the main ingredients for beer, but the earth around the fledgling plants is dry and dusty. Too much sun and too little rain, Lichti says, may mean that this year there will be no harvest.

"If it rains within the next couple of days, we may only loose 20 per cent. But if it doesn't rain soon the entire crop could fail,” Lichti says adding the barley would be unusable.

Meanwhile, Peter Hahan of the German brewers union says a barley shortage in Germany could drive beer prices through the roof by fall.

“We fear that through this really early, warm and dry weather barley will not be available in the quantities we need. And as you know, scarce commodities are expensive and so we fear a heavy increase in prices," Hanan says.

But there is another reason for the barley shortage, the brewers' union claims. And it ... More Info
