Vietnam: Beer industry prospering in part thanks to FTAs
|
FTAs not only have helped reduce input costs of beer production, but have also turned Vietnam into a jumping board for foreign breweries to conquer the Southeast Asian and Asia Pacific markets, according to FPT Securities.
In Vietnam, the production of the input materials is still underdeveloped, so breweries have to import malt, hop and beer yeast.
According to FPTS, as brewers in Vietnam import nearly 100 percent of input materials, the proportion of the materials in COGS in Vietnam is higher than the average level in the world (70-90 percent). Malt, for example, accounts for 33 percent, while hop accounts for 2 percent of COGS and rice for 6 percent of COGS.
Therefore, membership in FTAs, under which import products, including malt, hop and beer yeast will become cheaper thanks to tariff cuts, will help the beer industry reduce production costs.
Eight FTAs will have a big impact on Vietnam’s beer industry, namely ATIGA (ASEAN countries), ACFTA (ASEAN-China), AKFTA (ASEAN-South Korea), VJEPA (Vietnam-Japan), AANZFTA (ASEAN – Australia – New Zealand), AIFTA (ASEAN-India), VCFTA (Vietnam-Chile) and VN-EAEUFTA.
Under Circular No 164/2013/TT-BTC, the preferential tariffs for malt, hop and beer yeast are 5 percent, 5 percent and 7 percent, respectively.
With these FTAs, the import tariffs have

UK: Beer giants marked as ‘threat to beer choice’ by CAMRA
|
Brewing behemoths such as AB InBev have been marked as a threat to beer choice by the Campaign for Real Ale’s (CAMRA) Good Beer Guide, the Morning Advertiser reported on September 14.
Despite the number of UK breweries rising to more than 1,700, the persistent push by big brands to enter new and emerging segments of the market, such as craft, stifled choice, said the 2018 edition of the guide.
Such a trend was cited by Sierra Nevada ambassador Steve Grossman at the recent Beavertown Extravaganza beer festival in London.
He said: “In the past 20 years this industry has gone nuts. The big breweries have taken notice of this as the sales of their flagship beers started going down.
“They didn't want to get into craft because the beer is expensive to make, but they had to try it, so they started making craft beer styles themselves, but the consumer didn't buy it.”
However, Good Beer Guide editor Roger Protz, who recently announced he is to retire from the position, criticised AB InBev in particular for becoming too dominant in the marketplace.
In a press release marking the launch of the 45 edition of the guide, Protz said: “While many consumers will not

UK: AB InBev introducing alcohol-free version of Budweiser in the UK
|
AB InBev has announced it is to introduce the alcohol-free version of Budweiser in the UK as part of the group’s expansion of its range of low-alcohol and no-alcohol beers, Bar Magazine reported on September 15.
Budweiser Prohibition is brewed to the same recipe, with the same ageing process with beechwood and quality standards as the core beer, just without the alcohol.
AB InBev said it would be introduced “later this year” in both the on-trade and retail. During the launch period, Budweiser Prohibition will be available in 330ml cans, with additional formats planned for next year.
The name is inspired by the first batches of Budweiser being produced during US Prohibition in the 1920s.
The announcement was made on September 15 as AB InBev celebrates its eighth annual Global Be(er) Responsible Day, which promotes smart drinking among the brewer’s staff and their consumers.
In the UK, AB InBev’s portfolio already includes the market-leading alcohol-free beer Beck’s Blue and the lower-alcohol Bud Light, which arrived in the UK in March this year, brewed to 3.5% ABV.
The expansion of this portfolio is part of AB InBev’s Global Smart Drinking Goals, where the brewer has pledged that 20% of all its beer volumes produced globally by 2025

Australia: Craft beer drinkers want designated craft beer seal
|
Producing a folksy brew is not enough for Australian craft beer drinkers: it must also come from an authentic, independent brewery, FoodNavigator-Asia.com reported on September 13.
That's according to the biggest publicly available survey of tastes in craft beer Down Under, which took into account the opinions of 17,000 consumers.
It found that 64% of craft aficionados wanted to know a brewery's ownership, while 99% said they preferred to buy their beer from and independent, Australian-owned brewery.
In comparison just a quarter were happy to buy craft beer from a large multi-national company and a third from supermarket-owned brands.
The 2017 Australian Craft Beer Survey, by craft retailer Beer Cartel, also showed strong interest for a seal to identify whether a beer is from an independent Australian brewery, with eight out of 10 respondents indicating that such a device would have a medium to large impact on the beer they purchase.
The A740 mln (UD$594 mln) craft beer segment is the only part of the Australian beer market which is in continuous growth, with overall consumption of beer in decline.
Indeed, industry researcher IBISWorld estimates craft production has been growing at an annual rate of nearly 10%.
Consumed by 92% of craft beer drinkers Australia-wide, Pale Ale
