Brewery news Germany: Beer retailers fined for colluding with AB InBev in price-fixing scheme
German beer retailers have been slapped with big fines after being caught colluding with beer giant AB InBev in a price-fixing scheme, Eater reported on May 9.

According to the Wall Street Journal, "Germany's Federal Cartel Office has fined several retailers a combined total of €90.5 million ($103.2 million)" over the price-fixing scandal. WSJ reports that the news comes at an especially embarrassing time for the country, which is currently celebrating the 500th anniversary of the Reinheitsgebot, or beer purity law, which is meant to protect consumers from inflated beer prices.

The retailers were found to have colluded with the German subsidiary of AB InBev to fix beer prices — specifically for its Beck's, Hasseröder and Franziskaner brands — between 2006 and 2009. AB InBev itself was not fined, as its cooperation helped authorities in the inquiry.

The probe also fined one German retailer for fixing the price of Haribo candy and another for fixing the price of coffee.

This isn't the first time AB InBev has faced criticism over its "German" beers recently. Last year, the company was paid out millions of dollars following a class-action lawsuit claiming it tricked consumers into thinking Beck's, which has been made in St. Louis since 2012, ...More info on site

Brewery news Nigeria: Nigeria Breweries Plc paid N16 bln as tax last year despite tough operating environment
Nigeria Breweries Plc has disclosed that despite tough operating environment, it paid N16 billion as tax to the Federal Government for the financial year 2015 and also created 4,000 direct jobs. It further disclosed that the beer industry in the country grew by one percent in 2015, while beer consumption per person stood at 11 litres. Mr. Nicolaas Vervelde, Managing Director/CEO, announced this during the company's Pre-AGM Media briefing held in Lagos last weekend, AllAfrica.com reported on May 9.

According to him " Employment-wise, the company has 4,000 Nigerians on its payrolls across its 11 beer plants and two malt production plants across the country while 280,000 people have been indirectly employed by its transporters, distributors and other ancillary businesses. Vervelde said that the slow growth in the economy in terms of lower oil prices, fall in the value of the Naira, scarcity of foreign exchange , low purchasing power of consumers are some of the economic indices that affected the industry like other businesses in the country.

According to him, the beer industry in Nigeria has been undergoing slow growth for four consecutive years, adding that the sector grew by 1 percent last year compared to 9-10 percent recorded in the ...More info on site


Brewery news Ghana: Guinness Ghana Breweries launches GHS180 mln renounceable rights issue
Guinness Ghana Breweries Limited ("GGBL"), Ghana’s leading beverage company, has launched a GHS180 million renounceable rights issue in order to retire part of its debt, optimise its capital structure and improve its financial and operational flexibility.

The objective of the transaction is to return GGBL to an optimal capital structure, reduce the interest burden on GGBL, provide GGBL with the financial flexibility to invest in future value-creating opportunities and return GGBL to a position where it can pay dividends.

Following the Rights Issue of GHS 70,000,000 in November 2011, the company successfully reduced its outstanding net debt from GHS 104,907,000 as at June 2011 to GHS 5,626,000 as at June 2012.

However, over the past 3 years, the GGBL has invested significantly in capital expenditure including increasing the capacity of the Kumasi brewery, installing spirits blending and bottling capability and redesigning the Malta Guinness bottle. These operational initiatives have been funded primarily by debt.

Francis Agbonlahor, Managing Director of GGBL said “The macroeconomic backdrop has increased the burden of the debt financing with market interest rates having increased significantly, as well as putting pressure on the operating performance of the business.

We are however confident the injection of GHC180m will give shareholders the opportunity to ...More info on site


Brewery news USA: Budweiser to be renamed “America” for this summer
There's no trademark on America.

Budweiser, owned by Belgium's AB InBev, will rename its beer "America" this summer and alter its labels with images and phrases affiliated with the republic, KTVU San Francisco reported.

The red, white and blue campaign is being launched into a very competitive market already foamy with craft beers, and upon a drinking public bracing itself for a presidential election likely to be unlike any before it.

"We are embarking on what should be the most patriotic summer that this generation has ever seen, with Copa America Centenario being held on U.S. soil for the first time, Team USA competing at the Rio 2016, Olympic and Paralympic Games," said Ricardo Marques, vice president at Budweiser.

The Copa America Centenario is a ceremonial soccer tournament typically held in South America.

The beer had been owned by St. Louis-based Anheuser-Busch before it was sold to AB InBev in 2008. The company has confirmed that it is altering the name as part of a limited-edition label change on the front of 12-ounce cans and bottles.

According to a report in Ad Age, which was first to report the news, the company will introduce the new label on May 23 and retain it through election ...More info on site
