0 USA: InBev and Anheuser-Busch reach agreement for European import brands in United States

Anheuser-Busch will become the exclusive U.S. importer of a number of InBev’s premium European import brands, including Stella Artois®, Beck’s®, Bass Pale Ale®, Hoegaarden®, Leffe® and other select InBev brands, the two brewers announced on November 30.

Effective February 1, 2007, Anheuser-Busch will import these premium brands and be responsible for their sales, promotion and distribution in the United States. These InBev brands, which had sales volumes of about 1.9 million hectoliters (or about 1.5 million barrels) in 2005, will be available to Anheuser-Busch’s U.S. wholesaler network where possible.

InBev’s Canadian brands, including Labatt Blue® and Labatt Blue Light®, as well as Brahma®, are not included in the agreement. Working closely with Labatt Breweries of Canada, InBev USA will continue to market and sell the Labatt and Brahma brands through a separate distribution network.

Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

“This agreement gives us highly-valued brands that appeal to beer drinkers looking for sophisticated imports in their beer choices,” said August A. Busch IV, president and chief executive officer of Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc. “We live in a world with diverse cultures and lifestyles, and this provides additional variety for our consumers.

0 Germany: Beer prices are forecast to rise

FIN24 published on November 29 that Germans will have to dig deeper into their pockets to buy a round of beer next year as a result of rising malt prices, soaring energy costs and the upcoming rise in value-added or sales tax (VAT), according to the head of one of the country's biggest breweries statement on November 29.

Radeberger chief executive Ulrich Kellmeyer estimated that consumers may have to pay €1 ($1.30) extra for a 20-bottle case of beer. "The market is going to have to get used to a price of &euros; 15 per case," Kellmeyer said.

Germans are among Europe's champion beer drinkers, with annual consumption reaching 129.4 litres for each person over 15 years last year, according to recent statistics. However, the trend has been pointing downwards in recent years, even if the World Cup soccer championships and the hot summer is likely to have led to an increase in beer sales this year of 0.8%. By contrast, the industry expects sales to decline by 2.5% in 2007.

0 World: Estimates of the low hop supply due to a poor 2006 crop

After this years’ harvest, the situation of the world hop market must be taken very seriously, said Stephan Barth – President of the German Hopunion e.V. at the Press Conference Brau Breviale 2006 in Nuremberg on November 16th, 2006.

He commented: “Serious estimates of the low supply due to a poor 2006 crop; calculate between 700 - 1,300 tons alpha acid or approximately 8.6% - 15.5% of the annual demand. Should this “worst case” scenario prove itself to be completely accurate, the low yield of the hop market would not just limit itself to crop year 2006, but would also establish a worldwide structural under supply in general.

The supply situation of the international brewing industry was considered tight by hop distributors even before the harvest began. It was also published in several industry-related papers. The market for high alpha and bitter hops was viewed very critical, while the market for aroma hops was considered balanced at best.

Central Europe’s very hot summer in June and July however, had a devastating effect particularly on the usually early harvested varieties and a very rainy August lead to very poor crop results. In no other hop-growing area did the harvest results meet earlier estimates. ... More Info
