India: United Breweries share sale by ED provides Heineken with opportunity to increase stake in the brewer
|
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is all set to sell a large chunk of unpledged shares owned by Vijay Mallya in United Breweries, to raise more than Rs 4,000 crore, or nearly half of the money owed by the liquor baron to lenders, The Times Now reported on January 19.
ED has secured custody of 4 crore unpledged shares, constituting about 15.2 per cent stake, owned by beleaguered tycoon Vijay Mallya in UBL.
The shares were transferred to ED by the Stock Holding Corporation of India under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), reports the Economic Times citing two people with knowledge of the plan. The remaining 27 lakh shares are expected to be transferred soon. Mallya did not respond to emailed questions.
Vijay Mallya owns 29.46 per cent in UBL comprising 7.79 crore shares, out of which 3.52 crore constituting 45.17 per cent of his stake is pledged with lenders.
At present, Dutch brewer Heineken owns 43 per cent share in UBL and is keen to hike its stake further. This share sale by ED provides it with an opportunity.
This is not the first time such a sale is happening under provisions of the money laundering law. ED sold some

UK: Super-premium beer market expected to continue to grow in the UK
|
The super-premium beer market will continue to grow in the UK as consumers’ willingness to spend more on “beer worth paying for” kicks up a level, according to Asahi UK’s new managing director Tim Clay.
The proliferation of premium drinks in the on-trade will play into the hands of breweries like Asahi UK and other alcohol suppliers in 2018 and the foreseeable future, Clay told The Morning Advertiser.
Clay officially became the head of Asahi UK this month, taking over from Gary Haigh who retired last year after overseeing the transfer of SABMiller's Miller Brands Unit to Asahi in 2016.
Asahi acquired the Miller Brands portfolio, which consists of Peroni, St Stefanus, Pilsner Urquell, Kozel, Tyskie, Lech and Asahi among others.
Asahi bought out Miller Brands when SABMiller was sold to global beer giant AB InBev in 2016.
The group’s premium beer portfolio currently accounts for roughly a sixth in value share of the premium beer market, said Clay.
The UK on-trade’s best-selling premium lager is Peroni Nastro Azzuro in both value and volume terms, according to The Morning Advertiser’s 2018 Drinks List: Top Brands To Stock.
In the 12 months to 12 August 2017, more than 735,000hl of Peroni were sold in the on-trade, according

South Korea: Beer imports threatening Korea’s biggest drinks maker
|
The sterling credit rating of South Korea’s biggest drinks maker may be in trouble, and one reason can be seen in the beer aisle at the Seoul train station branch of Lotte Mart hypermarket, Bloomberg reported on January 19.
Shoppers there can now buy a four-pack of foreign beers such as Guinness for 9,480 won ($9), not much more than the 7,520 won it would cost to buy four cans of Fitz Super Clear sold by Lotte Chilsung Beverage Co. Beer imports in Korea surged 45 percent to a record $263 million in 2017, and the price of overseas brews will likely head even lower as trade agreements get rid of duties.
The outlook for Lotte Chilsung’s AA+ grade was cut to negative by local credit rating firms, which cited rising leverage as the firm boosts investments in its beer operations, as well as its money-losing alcoholic beverage business. The implementation of free trade agreements has led to U.S. beer being charged no duties starting this month in South Korea and that will also be the case for European brews from July 1.
“Increasing foreign beer sales will result in higher competition and less profitability for Korean brewers,” said Park Jin-young, a credit

China: Brewers shares surge this year
|
China's stock market is so hot that you can sell investors cold beer in January, when it's freezing, Bloomberg reported on January 18.
Shares in Tsingtao Brewery Co. are up 15 percent this year in dollar terms while China Resources Beer Holdings Co. and Beijing Yanjing Brewery Co. are also beating the broader market.
Behind the surge are promises to raise prices. Earlier this month, Tsingtao said it was planning a cost hike for some but not all of its products, "with an average of such proposed price increase of under 5 percent." Days later, China Resources Beer said it too was moderately adjusting its prices to mitigate rising material costs.
Investors are betting the brewers can adjust prices without alienating consumers. In a nation where people are shelling out 1,499 yuan ($233) for a bottle of Moutai, will paying a few cents more per pint make much of a difference? A case (24 cans) of Tsingtao costs just 115 yuan on JD.com. Recent industry consolidation may also give China's brewers the ability to charge more. Of the nation's 33 regional markets, half are dominated by either Belgium's Anheuser-Busch InBev SA or a local player, according to UBS Group AG analyst Christine Peng.

New Zealand: New Zealand adds craft beer to basket of goods monitored to measure inflation
|
New Zealand has added craft beer to the basket of goods it monitors to measure inflation, reflecting changing tastes and consumer spending in the South Pacific nation, Bloomberg reported on January 12.
“New Zealand used to be called a country of rugby, racing and beer but spending patterns are changing,” Jason Attewell, senior manager at Statistics New Zealand in Wellington, said on January 12. “Kiwis are increasingly keen on craft beer, body massages at beauty spas and football club memberships.”
Craft beer has surged in popularity in New Zealand, while high-speed internet has encouraged new web-based services like Netflix at the expense of older technologies. The statistics agency said DVD players and sewing machines were among items removed from the Consumers Price Index after its three-yearly review, and Uber rides and Airbnb accommodation were among services added.
Attewell said the agency was "introducing the sharing economy to the CPI to keep it relevant for New Zealand."
"We added the electric lightbulb to the basket in the 1920s, televisions and record players in the 1960s, microwaves and car stereos in the 1980s, and MP3 players and digital cameras in the 2000s,” he said. “As these items go out of fashion they are removed from the

EU: Malting barley prices slightly down on lack of demand
|
Lack of demand from the brewing and malting industry has led to lower malting barley prices on the EU markets this week, GrainCom said in their weekly update.
On the flip side, there is a lot of spot execution happening and it is noteworthy that long-term supply contracts are called in much earlier than in ‘normal’ years, the industry observers report.
Stocks of malt are not big in Europe, and the GrainCom analysts expect that procurement needs will pick up in the non-to-distant future.
Feed barley market remains well supported in Europe in view of renewed demand from Iran, China and short covering of sales to Saudi. It’s unclear, yet, what will be the likely origin for the last 1 mln tonnes which was bought for delivery LH Feb/March last weekend.

Ukraine: Ukraine reports decline in December and H1 2017/18 barley exports
|
According to preliminary information of market participants, barley exports from Ukraine totalled 70.6 thousand tonnes in December 2017, which is four and a half times less than at the same time in 2016 (314.1 thousand tonnes) and the smallest December volume since 2011, reports UkrAgroConsult.
Almost all December barley exports were absorbed by Turkey (91%); the remainder went mostly to the European Union.
Ukraine exported 3.8 mln tonnes of barley in the first half of the 2017/18 season - down 11.7% year-on-year (4.3 mln tonnes was shipped abroad in July-December 2016/17).

USA: Major whisky brands celebrate strong year 2017
|
With consumers eagerly exploring across multiple brown spirits categories, it comes as little surprise that 2017 was a strong year for the U.S. market’s major whisk(e)y brands. As the connoisseur set continues to seek out new upscale launches and limited releases, leading players like Crown Royal, Jack Daniel’s, Jim Beam and others are broadening their appeal and winning new drinkers with flavored expressions, the Shanken News Daily reported on January 18.
Six whisk(e)y labels ranked among the top 25 spirits brands in the U.S. for 2017, and all of them were on the upswing, according to Impact Databank. Brown-Forman’s Jack Daniel’s continues to lead the market at 6.46 million cases, up 3% last year, including its flavored varieties. In the six months through October, net sales for Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey (+6%), Tennessee Honey (+8%), Tennessee Fire (+14%), and the brand’s RTD offerings (+15%) were all up strongly, with Tennessee Fire gaining traction in the on-premise. In September, Brown-Forman debuted Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Rye ($27) in a bid to garner a piece of the action in the fast-growing rye whiskey segment.
Diageo’s Crown Royal has also seen impressive gains for its flavored offerings lately, with Regal Apple estimated at +2.5% to 1.3
