0 Australia: Coca-Cola Amatil plans beer expansion

Australian drinks company Coca-Cola Amatil Ltd. said on Wednesday it expected profit growth to improve this year and outlined plans to reduce its reliance on soft drinks and expand in beer, boosting its shares, according to Reuters, April 18.

Announcing results of a strategic review, Coca-Cola Amatil said it will expand its non-cola soft drinks and speed its entry into the highly profitable Australian beer market.

The company said it will fast track its joint venture with world No. 2 brewer SABMiller Plc. They face tough competition in the Australian beer market, which is dominated by Fosters Group Ltd. and Lion Nathan Ltd.

"Foster's and Lion Nathan aren't going to give up market share without a fight, but they need to realise the dynamics have changed and the market is no longer a duopoly," said Shaw Stockbroking analyst Scott Marshall.

Coca-Cola Amatil entered the joint venture with SABMiller last year to distribute premium beer brands Peroni, Miller Genuine Draft and Pilsner Urquell.

It will consider building a brewery in Australia under the joint venture, manufacture some imported brands locally, and develop new domestic brands. The capital outlay will be A$100-A$125 million for its 50 percent share of the venture.

0 UK: A quarter of beer pints are served less than 95% full

A new survey by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has revealed that one in four pints in the UK are served less than 95% full and this is costing beer drinkers a staggering £481 million every year, CAMRA announced April 16. CAMRA has launched a nationwide petition calling for the Government to end short measures as they promised a decade ago.

For the first time in its 35 year history, CAMRA has taken out advertisements in national media in order to let consumers know how to make a stand against this unfair practice.

The CAMRA survey of local authorities' trading standards departments has revealed:

- A shocking 26.6% of all pints served are over 5% short measure
- The worst example found was 13% short of a full pint
- 76% of pubs goers want the Government to stick to its promise to ensure drinkers get a full pint
- Beer drinkers lose £1.3 million every day by paying for a full pint but receiving less than 100% liquid in the glass.

Labour had made an election promise to legislate against short measures in 1997. This promise has not been fulfilled and has cost the consumer £4.5 billion over the last decade.

0 Germany: Expensive barley makes brewers increase beer prices

The rise in barley prices gives no other choice to brewers than to increase the price of beer, MA reported April 18. The growers said they are not responsible for the entire increase in beer prices but only for 0.12 Euros per box.

“The brewers have always demanded low prices for barley, pushing the growers to abandon this culture”, president of German Farmers Association said.
