The Philippines: San Miguel may be facing valuation issues due to consolidation of its drinks and food businesses
|
San Miguel has an alcohol problem. The Philippine conglomerate run by billionaire Ramon Ang is consolidating its beer and liquor businesses with its Manila-listed producer of meat, poultry and feed. A complex share swap suggests the enlarged San Miguel Pure Foods would be worth some $9.1 billion. It trades at a discount, however, the Global Times reported on February 6.
The sprawling parent company decided, with advice from adviser ING Bank, that the newly conceived consumer group warranted a hefty premium. It determined that Pure Foods shares would be fairly valued at nearly 793 pesos ($15.4) apiece for the deal instead of the 308 where they were trading. That meant issuing 4.2 billion shares, with a notional value of 336 billion pesos, to buy 51 percent of unlisted San Miguel Brewery and 76 percent of Ginebra San Miguel from San Miguel Corp.
Investors have been warming to the valuation, with Pure Foods stock roughly doubling since the combination was announced in November. That's understandable. The resulting group is something of a hybrid of Universal Robina, a $7.4 billion local rival, and Thai Beverage, the owner of Chang beer and SangSom rum. They trade on an average multiple of a little over 20

USA: Fate of several US breweries in jeopardy due to legal issues facing Vijay Mallya
|
The fate of several breweries in the U.S. may be in jeopardy in the wake of the mounting legal issues facing Vijay Mallya, the chairman and indirect majority shareholder of Mendocino Brewing, which owns other breweries throughout the country, the India West reported on February 7.
Already, the Ukiah, Calif.-based Mendocino Brewing Ale House, which had been open for more than 30 years, has closed.
Mallya, who bought the company in 1997 and now lives in London, is battling extradition to India amid fraud and money laundering charges, according to a Press Democrat report.
The brewery is in discussions with an investor to help rescue the company, according to the report.
Past company filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission detail the company’s cash crunch, the publication reported.
Catamaran Services Inc. in Delaware loaned $2.6 million to Mendocino Brewing over a three-year period through June 2017 in addition to interest costs of $301,686, according to documents cited in the report.
The filings also indicate that Mendocino Brewing would pay a $500,000 promissory note along with interest to Catamaran by Jan. 17, it said.
In a 2016 SEC filing, the company noted it was reliant on Catamaran and United Breweries Holdings, an Indian public limited company where

Denmark: Carlsberg creates two exclusive cask-conditioned Jacobsen beers for Danish restaurants
|
Two new high-end cask-conditioned Jacobsen beers have been specially created for the restaurant industry in an innovative collaboration between Carlsberg and researchers from the Nordic Food Lab. The cask-conditioned Jacobsen beers are destined for the thriving Nordic gourmet scene and the recipe is the result of five years’ work as the partnership first began in 2013, FoodIngredientsFirst reported on February 6.
The Jacobsen Chanterelle Lager and Jacobsen Sour Rye beers have been fermented in Carlsberg’s Jacobsen brewhouse and conditioned in 37.5cl champagne bottles.
The ambition is to establish an exclusive series of eminent cask-conditioned Jacobsen beers for Danish restaurants. The first high-end beer is now available at one of Denmark’s Michelin-starred restaurants, Tri Trin Ned in Jutland.
The aim of the project is to develop innovative beers by experimenting with new raw materials, methods and sensory profiles that can increase the relevance of beer for today’s experimental gastronomy on the Danish restaurant scene.
Speaking with FoodIngredientsFirst Simon Fibiger, Vice President for sales, on trade, for Carlsberg Denmark, explains how the work is all about developing the specialty beer category and creating a credible alternative to wine.
“We are very excited. We have seen slow food over fast food, locally-sourced produce over food shipped, and what

USA: Beer distributors facing a dilemma of investing or not into Bud Light marketing
|
Beer distributors in the US are facing a dilemma right now when it comes to Bud Light: sink more money into marketing the brand in the hopes that the short-term loss will lead to long-term loyalty and growth, or cut the advertising and take the boost to the bottom line now, Food Dive reported on February 7.
Consumer tastes have been shifting away from traditional brews in recent years, in favor of craft beer, spirits and wine. This has been especially hard on Big Beer, namely Molson Coors and AB InBev, who together control about 90% of the beverage’s production in the U.S. today.
All four of America's best-selling beers posted declining domestic sales in 2017, according to market research firm IRI. The Washington Post reported that Miller Lite posted a volume decline of 1.6% compared to 5.9% for Budweiser in the U.S. Even smaller craft breweries are starting to feel the pinch, as double-digit growth slowed to 4% in 2016.
These falling sales impacted brewers and distributors. Wholesalers act as middlemen, selling beer regionally to retailers such as grocery stores and restaurants. Their support is crucial to companies like AB InBev. If they start cutting their local marketing budgets — where they

Spain: Heineken planning 220 jobs cut in Spain

Heineken plans to cuts 220 jobs across it base in Spain, as it looks to streamline its sales and production in the country, Plastics in Packaging reported on February 7.
The Dutch business explained that it has started discussions over positions in Seville, Valencia and Madrid as well as a few other of its Spanish offices.
It employs 2,600 people in Spain and puts the cuts down to efficiency and continuous improvement. “This is a common transformation process in companies operating in dynamic and changing environments,” said a company statement.
Heineken recently expanded outside of Europe, with the investment of €100 million ($124m) on the construction of a brewery in Mozambique.

USA: MillerCoors targets young consumers with its new light beer line Two Hats
|
MillerCoors has introduced a new light beer line called Two Hats, which is targeted at young consumers in the US, FoodBev.com reported on February 7.
The Two Hats line will initially feature two light beers with subtle lime and pineapple flavours.
The beers have an alcohol content of 4.2% and are available in four and six-packs of 16oz cans.
A suggested retail price has not been confirmed, though Two Hats claims the price of packs will “be about five dollars nationwide.”
Two Hats says the combination of a refreshing flavour and its low price point will make the range an attractive option for young consumers.
Justine Stauffer, Two Hats brand manager said: “We want to give 21- to 24-year-old drinkers, who don’t consider beer to be great-tasting and affordable, an option they can get on board with.
“As soon as people realize that a beer this good is about five dollars, their immediate reaction is, ‘Wait, what?'”
David Kroll, MillerCoors’ chief marketing office added: “We know that people who choose beer when they become of legal drinking age are two times more likely to continue drinking beer throughout their lifetime, and as an organization, we have an opportunity to regain ground with this group.
“Two Hats is meant

Africa: Heineken looking to achieve more brand equity in Africa
|
Heineken says it has gained more brand equity in Nigeria and is looking to achieve same in 15 other African markets through investments in the brand, The Punch reported on February 8.
The company said it had also increased its share of the beer market following the launch of a new commercial- Villager.
The company said in a statement that was in the process of rolling out the same investment in the other African markets where it has presence.
The 58 seconds commercial, created by Insight Publicis, featured Jidenna Mobisson, the Nigerian-born international act. The commercial is the brand’s first globalised commercial and first Nigerian campaign.
Heineken said it had wanted a commercial to recruit and retain younger drinkers between ages 18 to 24 and regain five per cent of the lapsed drinkers that represent the 25 to 34 age group after recording declining sales last year. But all these were to be done within the brand’s global thematic parameter of internationality, tradition and its natural ingredients.
Speaking on the new move, Sinmisola Hughes-Obisesan, Insight Publicis’ Creative Director, said, “Insight Publicis was tasked with creating a locally relevant thematic campaign for the Heineken brand. We dug deep to search for insights that would resonate and

North Korea: North Korea reportedly creates wheat beer with ‘exclusive’ brewing technique
|
North Korea has reportedly created its own domestic beer with a brewing technique touted as exclusive, the BBC reported on February 6.
The British news site quoted the reclusive country's state newspaper Rodong Sinmun, which said that the beer was brewed by local brewery Taedonggang with wheat instead of barley.
This technique is said to be "better than existing beers in terms of taste and smell" and has already "gained positive reviews" from locals.
The Taedonggang Beer Factory is a state-owned factory, reportedly one it bought from Britain in 2000 and shifted to Pyongyang.
In 2009, news of an advertisement for Taedonggang beer on state TV made headlines.
The ad for the beer, which was made of rice and contained protein and vitamin B2, was a surprise as there were said to be no TV advertisements in the country.
A South Korean Unification Ministry official who had been monitoring the North's television for more than two decades said then that it was the first time he had seen any advertisement for food, much less beer - although he had seen shows on North Korean cuisine.
North Korea had held a beer festival - the Taedonggang Beer Festival - in August 2016, where rice beer, dark beer and
