USA: Number of breweries reaches record level this year
|
|
The total number of U.S. breweries reached a record level in 2015, according to a year-end review from the Brewers Association—the not-for-profit trade association dedicated to small and independent American brewers. As of the end of November, there are now 4,144 breweries in the country, topping the historic high of 4,131 breweries in 1873, the Brewers Association reported on December 2.
“This is a remarkable achievement, and it’s just the beginning,” said Bart Watson, chief economist, Brewers Association. “Beer has always been a hallmark of this country and it is even more apparent today as America’s beer culture continues to expand.”
Of note in 2015:
•Brewery openings now exceed two a day.
•Fifteen states are now home to more than 100 breweries: California, Washington, Colorado, Oregon, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Texas, Ohio, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Indiana.
•IPA remained the top style sold by independent craft brewers, and continues to grow faster than the overall craft category.
•Data shows that “locally made” is important to over half of craft beer buyers.
•Similarly, knowing that the beer is made by a small and independent brewery is important to a majority of craft drinkers in their purchase decision.

Jamaica: Heineken now owns more than 80% of Desnoes & Geddes, to take it private
|
Heineken has surpassed the hurdle of owning more than four-fifths of the total shareholding in brewery Desnoes & Geddes (D&G), which trades as Red Stripe Jamaica, that will allow the new owner to take the company private, Jamaica Gleaner reported on December 4.
"We are solidly over the 80 per cent mark and the significance of that is that it will trigger a mandatory delisting," said Ramon Pitter, vice-president of investment banking and group mergers at NCB Capital Markets, on December 2.
When pressed on the percentage now owned by Heineken, Pitter said only that the percentage changes daily. Heineken already owned nearly three-quarters of Red Stripe when it opened its mandatory offer to minority shareholders last month. The offer closes on December 22 with an option to extend.
In early November, Heineken announced its intention to acquire 100 per cent shares in D&G. At the time, Heineken indicated that it would spend up to US$194 million to acquire the remaining shares in the company. This followed its purchase of Diageo Plc's 57.9 per cent shareholding in the company on October 7, a deal that took Heineken group's holding to 73.3 per cent at the time.
Minority owners will be paid at the same

Canada: Small brewers worried by AB InBev-SABMiller merger possible effect on their sales opportunities
|
The proposed consolidation of the world's biggest beer companies in recent weeks has given rise to concerns that it could be harder for Canada's small brewers to sell their brands locally, CTV News reported on December 3.
"Traditionally, big companies merging to become even bigger companies tends to have a little bit of a chilling effect on innovation and small companies," said Jason Fisher, owner of the Indie Ale House, a Toronto brewhouse that's been in operation for three years.
"You want to go to a sporting event; they own that venue. You want to go to a concert; they own that venue. You want to buy beer at a store; they own those too."
Large brewers use their financial firepower for marketing and sponsorships to increase awareness of their brands. In exchange, those companies can buy up more beer tap lines to dominate distribution in bars and restaurants.
"That makes it a lot tougher for a smaller brewery to go into a bar and say: 'I have a brand that's better than yours,"' said Stephen Beaumont, a veteran beer industry watcher and author.
SABMiller recently agreed to a US$107-billion takeover by Anheuser-Busch InBev in a merger of the world's two largest brewers. The deal

USA: Beer drinkers file a suit to block AB InBev’s takeover of SABMiller
|
US beer drinkers sued to block Anheuser-Busch InBev NV’s $110 billion SABMiller Plc takeover, saying the deal would force them to pay more for lower quality, Bloomberg reported on December 4.
The acquisition by the world’s largest brewer of the second biggest would create a monopoly in the beer market in violation of U.S. antitrust law, the beer drinkers contend.
Brewers of mass-market beer are trying to cut production and distribution costs as they lose sales to smaller independent brands in Europe and North America. Carlsberg A/S, the world’s fourth-largest brewer, announced this month that it would eliminate 2,000 jobs.
The AB InBev lawsuit by San Francisco lawyer Joseph Alioto on behalf of 23 consumers was filed on December 1 in federal court in Oregon. The drinkers, who said they have bought products made by either or both companies, as well as craft beers, seek to permanently bar the sale.
AB InBev believes the lawsuit claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them, said John Blood, vice president of legal and corporate affairs.
“The U.S. beer market has never been more competitive, with strong growth from craft brewers, and nothing in this transaction will change that fact,” Blood said in a statement

Ukraine: Brewers alarmed by possible beer excises doubling
|
Ukraine’s beer market could fall by up to 30% in 2016 if the excise duties are doubled, Denys Khrenov, acting Director General of SUN InBev Ukraine, was quoted as saying by Interfax on December 4.
"Despite the last year increase by 42.5%, the excise duty collected in January-September 2015 fell by UAH 62 million (3.2%) year-over-year. What does it mean? The goal to replenish the budget has not been achieved," he said.
He said that in January-November 2015 the nation’s breweries produced 20% less beer than a year ago.
"The revenues from the excise duty may be larger in the beginning, but even in the medium term outlook the effect will gradually decrease, until sales decline. As for other payments, VAT, profit tax, income tax and other taxes, they will fall not only at breweries, but also throughout the whole chain – from farmers to the retail chain, eating the whole positive from the excise duty revenue," Khrenov said.
Carlsberg Ukraine is also alarmed by the draft bill aiming at sharp increase of the excise duties by 100% from January 1, 2016.
“Over the last six years – from 2008 to 2014 – Ukraine’s beer production fell by 28%, and this year the decline grew

South Korea: Large supermarkets report decline in domestic beer sales and soaring numbers for import brands
|
While sales of domestic beer are declining at large supermarkets in South Korea, foreign beer sales are rising rapidly, The Korea Bizwire reported on December 3.
According to Emart, a large retailer, sales of domestic canned beer and PET bottled beer from January to November fell 2.2 percent and 6.4 percent respectively compared to the same period last year, but sales of foreign beer increased 18.7 percent.
Imported beer took up 32.2 percent of beer sales at Emart in 2013, increasing to 34.4 percent in 2014 and 39 percent between January and November of this year. The sales increased 43.8 percent last month.
Unlike foreign beer sold at restaurants and bars, imported beer sold at supermarkets is usually consumed at home. This could be interpreted as a change in the preference of consumers from domestic beer to foreign beer.
Emart currently sells 50 different types of domestic beer and 200 different types of foreign beer. The popular foreign brands are Heineken, Asahi, Hoegaarden, Paulaner Brewery, Bear Beer, Sapporo, Guinness, Tsingtao and Pilsner Urquell.
Foreign beer also represents more than 40 percent of the total sales of beer at Homeplus, and sales of foreign beer are also increasing at Lotte Mart.

UK & China: British brewer Greene King enjoys soaring exports to China thanks to President Xi Jinping
|
British brewer Greene King on December 2 said exports of its India pale ale (IPA) to China had increased sixteen-fold after President Xi Jinping was photographed enjoying a pint during his recent state visit, Al Arabiya News reported.
The brewer has shipped 50,000 cases of the hoppy beer to China after Xi’s visit to The Plough pub in Buckinghamshire, southern England, with Prime Minister David Cameron during October’s trip.
“If the British prime minister chooses to drink IPA that’s normal, but if the president of China chooses to drink a British beer it attracts lots of interest,” Greene King chief executive Rooney Anand said.
“We’ve had a sixteen-fold increase in orders from China for IPA in the last few weeks and 50,000 cases are on a boat now to arrive in time for Chinese New Year.”
Pictures of Xi sipping the pint and eating fish and chips soon appeared on social media, helping promote the image of him as a down-to-earth leader.
India pale ales were developed in the 19 century to survive the long sea journey from Britain to colonists in India.
The export boost helped the pub group, based in Suffolk, eastern England, boost profits in the first six months of its year by
