Skol managed to maintain its leadership over other Brazilian brands and its brand value increased by 8% as compared to 2013.
According to Valkiria Garré, CEO of Millward Brown Brasil, the value of a brand reflects its perception by customers. “The leaders are those brands which add something significant and different to consumers’ life, both in emotional and functional terms,” she said.
Currently, Skol is the most popular beer in Brazil.

Rwanda: Bralirwa’s pretax profit down 14.2% in 2013 on weak economy
|
Rwandan brewer Bralirwa's pretax profit fell 14.2 percent last year to 21.3 billion Rwandan francs ($31.2 million) due to the country's economic downturn and higher taxes on beer to its main export market, Democratic Republic of Congo, Reuters reported on April 28.
The company, 75 percent-owned by Heineken, said it was concerned by the tax regime in Congo, but was cautiously optimistic about the outlook for 2014, which was "encouraging".
Rwanda's growth rate fell to 4.6 percent in 2013, after averaging 8.2 percent from 2006 to 2012, because of aid cuts imposed after it was accused of playing a role in a rebellion in eastern Congo, a charge the country has denied.
"GDP is a measure that the government and companies watch very carefully as to the health of the economy. It's also a measure for us of disposable cash in people's pockets," Bralirwa managing director Jonathan Hall told reporters on April 28.
Bralirwa is Rwanda's oldest brewery with rights to produce brands including Amstel. Production of Guinness ceased in 2013 after the franchise was terminated. It also produces branded soft drinks such as Coca-Cola.
Exports fell by 29 percent, largely due to increased duties charged by Congo, its biggest export market, but it vowed

China: Three China Resources Enterprise top managers detained in anti-corruption campaign
|
The most aggressive “anti-corruption” campaign in China in recent years has scored three high-profile casualties at SABMiller’s joint venture partner in that country, Business Day reported on April 28.
Until he was detained last week, Song Lin was chairman of state-owned China Resources Holding, whose listed conglomerate China Resources Enterprise (CRE) has joint control with SABMiller of CR Snow, which is the largest beer group in China.
Song’s detention was followed in a few days by that of the chief executive of China Resources Capital and of an executive director of China Resources Land. A fourth executive, the chairman of China Resources Pharmaceuticals, is reported to be in the US with his family.
So far, CRE has not been directly affected by the campaign, but a source quoted in Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post remarked that the China Resources investigation had been widened.
A spokesman for SABMiller said the group would not comment, and referred to a statement issued by CRE that the investigation of Song would not cause a material adverse impact on the business or operations of CRE.
SABMiller said in a statement on April 28: "As things stand, this investigation has nothing to do with SABMiller or our CRSB joint venture."

China: Sales of Tuborg beer going extremely well
|
Carlsberg’s decision to launch its beer Tuborg in China is looking like a wise decision after Tuborg's sales figures shot up during its second year on the Chinese market, The Copenhagen Post reported on April 28.
The brewery giant now sells five times as much Tuborg in China than it did during its first year on the market and further gains are expected to be made in future years.
“We think that it’s going to keep expanding quickly and strongly,” Jørgen Buhl Rasmussen, the head of Carlsberg, said according to Ritzau news service.
“We expect that we can double the volume every year – for at least the next couple of years.”
Rasmussen went on to say that Tuborg had already established itself among the leading international beer brands on the Chinese market, and it was complimented earlier this week at the China Beer Industry Annual Summit where it was voted the fastest growing beer in the nation.
“It’s been a fantastic success, but one that we had expected,” Rasmussen said.
“Because as always, when we launch one of our international or local brands, we naturally do a lot of preparatory work concerning customer insight,”
Carlsberg did not wish to reveal the volume figures of its individual

Finland: Carlsberg found guilty of tax evasion
|
The Danish brewery giant Carlsberg has been found guilty of tax evasion amounting to 317 million kroner in Finland, according to Børsen business newspaper.
On top of a 276 million kroner tax fine, a court in Helsinki fined the brewery 41 million kroner for failing to pay proper taxes between the years 2006 and 2010 via its subsidiary Sinebrychoff.
According to reports, Carlsberg set up a special framework in Finland to avoid paying taxes.
“In the period between 2006 and 2010 we withheld an amount that we believed we paid too much in tax,” Jens Bekke, Carlsberg’s head of communication, was quoted by the Ritzau news agency.
“In 2010 we paid the tax in arrears, interest for the period and a smaller fine. Since then we have paid tax as normal.”
Carlsberg assumed control of Sinebrychoff back in 1999, but the tax evasion didn’t begin until 2006, the court found.
The Finish authorities have decided that Carlsberg should continue to pay tax according to the current regulations – a decision that the brewery is considering appealing against.
“Over the next 14 days, we will decide whether we will appeal against the case and continue it,” Bekke said.
“If we win, we will receive that amount in overpaid tax.”

UK: Molson Coors pauses production at its microbrewery in Burton
|
Bosses at a Burton brewing giant have been forced to halt production at its £1 million microbrewery in the town as part of a bid to improve working conditions for staff, Burton Mail reported on April 29.
Brewing at the Molson Coors-owned William Worthington Brewery, based at the National Brewery Centre, in Horninglow Street, has been ‘temporarily paused’ while senior figures from the company work on a raft of improvements at the site.
A major review is now taking place to look at how machinery can be ‘reconfigured to make brewing, cleaning and maintenance easier’ at the brewery which opened in a blaze of glory in 2010 as the firm’s response to the burgeoning demand for cask ales.
The firm also said the process was allowing them to look at several options to ‘improve safety’ for all workers at the brewery, but were quick to stress that the site was not set to close permanently.
A spokesman for Molson Coors said: “Brewing at the William Worthington brewery has been temporarily paused.
“The on-site brewing team will be working alongside Stuart Howe, head of craft brewing and innovation, to review how brewing vessels and pipework can be reconfigured to make brewing, cleaning and maintenance easier.

Australia: Carlton & United Breweries admits misleading labelling on one of its beers
|
Carlton & United Breweries has entered into a court enforceable undertaking with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, after the beer giant admitted its labelling of Byron Bay Pale Lager may have been misleading, Smart Company reported on April 29.
The brewer has also copped A$20,000 in infringement fines in relation to the case, which rested on ACCC concerns that CUB was misleading consumers by portraying itself as a small business.
CUB has been supplying Byron Bay Pale Lager nationwide since 2013 through a license from the Byron Bay Brewing Company, which brews and sells the beer at its location in Byron Bay.
The beer sold by CUB featured the name ‘Byron Bay Pale Lager’, an image of a lighthouse and a map of the Byron Bay area, as well as information about the town.
However, CUB brews the beer in Warnervale, 95km north of Sydney and about 630km from Byron Bay. The ACCC was concerned the beer was presented as being brewed by a small brewer in Byron Bay.
The ACCC said in a statement on April 29 that CUB has agreed to stop distributing the products with the labels in question and, more generally, has agreed to not make false or misleading representations

Canada: Malting barley value unchanged in CWB’s April Pool Return Outlooks (PROs) for the 2014-15 pools
|
CWB on April 24 released its Pool Return Outlooks (PROs) for the 2014-15 pools and Futures Choice pools. Compared to the last PRO release on March 27, projected wheat returns are C$8 to C$9 per tonne lower. Projected returns for durum, canola, malting barley and field peas remain unchanged.
Select two-row malting barley PRO value is set at C$280/tonne.
International barley prices have remained stable since the last PRO release as a result of continued demand by China for malting barley and the decline in world barley seeded acres.
Offsetting these factors is the recent rains last week in Australia, which helped improve soil moisture levels, CWB said.
