0 EU: Malt is insignificant in the price of beer but of prime necessity to produce beer

According to analysts, the price development of malting barley since the harvest presents an enormous financial stress to the malting and brewing industries, probably never experienced before.

However, even malt is of prime necessity to produce beer, malt price surge should have an insignificant influence on the final price of beer as malt price represents less than 1% of the price of a 25cl glass of beer (see details in the table of this week).

- What happened.

In most of Western and Central Europe the months of June and July were particularly warm and extremely dry. We were all expecting problems with lower yields and perhaps high protein levels. The winter malting barley harvest in France and the U.K. was, luckily, completed in good conditions and the overall quality was good. The spring barley harvest started in Spain, S.
