Brewery news South Africa: South Africa undergoing craft beer revolution
South Africa is a nation of beer drinkers. It constitutes 34 percent of Africa's formal beer market, according to government statistics from 2012. On average, South Africans consume almost 60 litres of beer per person every year – far more than the 14.6 litres per person in the rest of Africa, or the global average of 22 litres, Voice of America reported on December 30. But up until relatively recently, the only beers widely available to South Africans were commercial lagers and pilsners brewed in factories. Now, however, the country is undergoing a craft beer revolution, with small, independent breweries opening everywhere. South Africa’s beer landscape appears to be changing irreversibly. Craft beer is brewed slowly, according to traditional methods and using natural ingredients, including hops, barley, malt, yeast and mineral water. Commercial beer brewers often use chemicals to rush the brewing process, but true artisanal beer makers shun them. Mass-produced beer also generally tastes bland compared with craft brew, which is made in a variety of styles and flavors. Inside The Cockpit Brewery in Cullinan, a town more famous for the diamonds mined here than its beer, Andre de Beer tapped a pint of dark orange ale with a ...More info on site


Brewery news Belgium & China: Duvel Moortgat’s products enjoying strong demand in China
Belgium’s Duvel Moortgat is enjoying a strong growth in demand for its products in China, despite the fact that prices of imported products are much higher than those of the local brands, Retail Detail Belgique reported on December 24.

When the company started to ship its beers to China in 2007, total volumes only amounted to 200 hl, but 2013 saw already several containers dispatched to China. “Our target for 2013 is at about half the volume we ship to the US. If we continue at this rate, we will surpass the British market in four years,” Moortgat’s General Director, Vincent Smits, said.

In China, Moortgat’s most popular brands are Vedette, Achouffe, and Liefmans Fruitesse. It’s mostly white beer – sweet and not too bitter or strong - that is enjoying such a success, the company said.

Duvel Moortgat does not intend to start brewing Duvel beer in any other parts of the world. “If you brew it elsewhere, it will be difficult to call it “Belgian beer”. Only a beer destined exclusively for local consumption in China could be produced in China,” Nick Papa, Sales Manager China North, said.


Brewery news Zambia: Zambian Breweries forced to increase prices due to 50% beer excise hike
Zambian Breweries Plc. announced on January 3 an increase in the recommended retail price of its clear beer alcoholic beverages by 16% on its Returnable Glass Bottle (RGB) pack, excluding sorghum-based Eagle Lager, taking effect January 1st 2014. This follows the 50% increase in Excise Duty on clear beer from 40% to 60%, which the government recently announced as part of the 2014 National Budget - an increase that will make Zambian beer the most expensive in the region.

As a result, in order to mitigate illegal smuggling that would result from higher beer prices relative to its regional peers, which was caused by the increase in excise duties, the company has, for the time being, decided to absorb the excise increase on its non-returnable packs. Zambian Breweries Plc. believes that this measure will reduce the detrimental effects that the excise duty increase will have on local manufacturing. The company, however, notes that since it will continue paying excise tax on the non-returnable packs, the increased excise duty will be an added direct cost to the product type and will therefore detrimentally affect company profitability.

Making the announcement, Zambian Breweries Plc. Managing Director, Mr. Anele Malumo, said:

Excise duties on beer are a ...More info on site
