Quote of the Week

You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.

Brewery news Latvia: Aldaris brewery’s turnover down 1.5% due to market contraction last year
Latvian brewery Aldaris closed 2016 with EUR 25.857 million in turnover, down 1.5% from a year before, while its losses expanded by 21.6% year-on-year to EUR 3.178 million, writes LETA, according to information available at Firmas.lv.

The company’s management put down the turnover decrease to the 6.2% contraction of the Latvian beer market. The growth of the company’s losses was also blamed on the reduced market and the decision to give up the rights to distribute products of the Baltika brand. In 2016, Aldaris commanded 26.1% of the Latvian beer market, according to the management’s report. Last year, Aldaris sold 42.6 million litres of beer, down 1.4% from 2015. At the same time, Aldaris has been strengthening its position in other beverage segments like beer cocktails, cider, alcoholic cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages. “One of the main non-beer brands is Somersby cider, which has been showing great success across the world,” the Aldaris management said. In 2015, Aldaris reported a turnover of EUR 26.244 million, down 8.3% from 2014, and cut its loss by 23.3% to EUR 2.614 million. In 2013 Aldaris decided to focus on premium class and craft beer production, and moving production of cheaper or PET-bottled beers to other ...More info on site

Brewery news Rwanda: Rwanda’s largest brewer Bralirwa reports 3.8% dip in half-year profit
Rwanda’s largest brewer and soft beverages company Bralirwa’s half year profit has dipped by 3.8 per cent to Rwf41.3 billion, from Rwf43 billion recorded in the same period last year, The New Times reported, citing the firm’s financial statement.

The beverages firm attributed the drop to ‘challenging times’ as its sales volumes went down by about 15.4 per cent. In the first half of this year, Bralirwa sold 751,000 hectolitres compared to 888 hectolitres in the first six months of 2016, the report for the year ended June 30, 2017 shows.

The firm noted that sales volume decreased largely due to soft drink and beer price increases it implemented in August 2016 and January this year, respectively.

With increasing competition in the local market, this hurt sales leading to low revenues being registered over the reporting period, it added.

The firm explained that the price increase was necessary to compensate for rising fixed costs, such as the “high cost of raw materials which had to be passed to the consumers”.

However, Victor Madiela, the Bralirwa managing director, said the firm has implemented price and mix management, as well cost management initiatives to cope with the challenges in the business environment and stay competitive.

Brewery news Belgium & UK: Belgian brewers entering the UK market despite Brexit uncertainties
The U.K.’s impending departure from the European Union has been blamed for weakening the pound, putting London banking jobs in danger and curtailing economic growth. Now it’s putting at risk a fledgling attempt to bring the complexities of Belgian beer to British drinkers, Bloomberg reported on August 16.

Twenty beer makers from Belgium, which is home to six of the world’s 11 Trappist breweries, descended on London last month to showcase their brands at the inaugural Ales Tales Belgian Beer Festival, where they are seeking to strengthen their foothold in the U.K. market.

About a thousand people lined up to taste the hops and barley concoctions just four months after the U.K. announced its intention to leave the bloc, which precipitated a 5 percent drop in the pound and the longest fall in consumer spending in more than four years. And since negotiations still haven’t started on Britain’s future relationship with the EU, businesses are left guessing what a trade partnership would look like, raising the spectre of new tariffs and questioning the reliability of international supply chains. But some brewers are still willing to take the risk.

“I have no clue about what will happen, but it makes no sense to wait,” ...More info on site


Brewery news Russia: Craft brewing expanding in Russia
Pint by frothy pint, a hoppy revolution is brewing in Russia, the Associated Press reported on August 14.

This new generation of craft brewers began sprouting in the vodka capital of the world as foreign beers became too expensive and beer fans sought alternatives to mass-produced lagers. From juicy IPAs to velvety stouts and lip-smacking sours, beers served at breweries that opened in recent years in cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg offer visitors and locals alike the styles popularized in the last two decades by the craft beer boom in the U.S. and Europe.

Many breweries started after the currency collapse of 2014, when imported beer prices skyrocketed and supply fell.

“There was almost nothing being brought from outside,” said Alex Korobkov, co-owner of the Zagovor brewery and the RULE Taproom in central Moscow. “So people decided to brew something they had tried outside of Russia.”

Korobkov and a group of friends started Zagovor — which translates to “Conspiracy” in Russian — in 2014.

Today, there are over 100 craft breweries in Russia, said Nikita Filippov, co-founder of AF Brew in St. Petersburg, founded in 2012 and one of the craft beer pioneers in Russia. But Filippov said only around two dozen breweries have ...More info on site
