USA: Beer production drops by the highest rate in 14 years last year
|
Statistics released by the U.S. Treasury bureau that regulates sales of alcohol indicate that, in 2017, beer production in the U.S. dropped by its highest rate in 14 years — 2.75 percent — to its lowest overall volume in at least three decades.
The statistics, published March 1st by the Alcohol Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, compile numbers reported directly by all licensed breweries in the U.S. The bureau’s statistics show brewers reported producing just over 185 million barrels in the 2017 calendar year, a nearly 5 million barrel drop from the roughly 190 million barrels produced in 2016.
According to archival bureau reports, annual U.S. beer production has not stood below 190 million barrels per year since prior to 1986, its earliest annual records currently published online. While annual production surpassed 200 million barrels several times in the 1990s, it's reached that number just once this century — in 2002 — before correcting with a 2.8 percent drop the following year, to 195 million barrels.
The numbers have fluctuated since, but trended down, including a 2.1 percent drop in 2013. They have been relatively stagnant since 2014.
These figures reflect all beer produced in the U.S., including both legacy macro-beer producers such as

World: AB InBev CEO believes in increased sales volume of low- and no-alcohol portfolio by 2025
|
AB InBev CEO Carlos Brito believes 20% of the company’s sales volumes will come from its low- or no-alcohol portfolio by 2025.
In a conference call following the release of AB InBev’s full-year results, Brito shed light on the company’s strategy to expand sales and appeal to consumers who want to limit their alcohol intake, FoodBev.com reported on March 2.
He said that now around 8% of the company’s volumes came from its low- or no-alcoholic lines. “We want to get to 20% by 2025. So we’re not starting from zero, quite the opposite. The big thing that will accelerate this, in my view, is two things.
“First, the category expansion model because it’s showing us there are opportunities in adjacencies, easy drinking and flavored liquids, that we can explore.
“And the second one is that now we already have five of our main countries in which NABLAB, or non-alcohol beer and low-alcohol beer, represents more than 20% and in some even 30%.”
Brito drew attention to the higher margins of the NABLAB sector. “I think this is going to be a big motivation for our people because they’re going to be inspired.
“There is a toolkit to be shared with other countries. Again, so we’re

South Korea: Hite Jinro decides not to sell brewery, produce soju there instead
|
Hite Jinro Co., South Korea's second-largest beer maker by sales, said on March 7 that it will produce the local distilled liquor soju at one of its beer factories as it abandons a plan to sell off the plant, the Yonhap News Agency reported.
The brewer said part of the production line is being retrofitted to make soju at its beer factory in Masan, an industrial city located some 400 kilometers southeast of Seoul.
The company aims to produce soju at its beer plant by the end of this year.
"We made the decision to meet growing demand for soju and to resolve the local community's concerns about possible job cuts," company spokeswoman Nho Eun-jung said.
Soju, a rice-based liquor, is popular among South Koreans.
The beer factory in Masan employs about 200 people, according to the company.
Hite Jinro sells 150 million bottles of soju per month, making it the largest soju maker in South Korea. The company has three soju plants and three separate beer factories in South Korea.

Singapore: ThaiBev kept at ‘buy’ ahead of anticipated recovery in consumption
|
OCBC Investment Research is keeping its “buy” call on Thai Beverage ahead of an anticipated recovery in consumption for the rest of FY18, The Edge Singapore reported on March 5.
This comes despite ThaiBev’s 1Q18 results coming in below expectations, and an elevated gearing ratio following the group’s recent acquisition spree.
ThaiBev saw its earnings fall 62% to THB2.91 billion ($122 million) in the 1Q ended December, mainly due to one-off expenses of THB2.35 billion related to acquisitions in this quarter and finance costs linked to the Sabeco acquisition.
Total revenue dipped 3% to THB45.97 billion, with a slower-than-expected market recovery after the mourning period, as well as an increase in packaging costs, advertising and promotion expenses, and personnel expenses.
“While demand for spirits and beer were soft in 1Q18, we expect recovery in consumption for the rest of FY18,” says lead analyst Eugene Chua in a report on March 5.
According to Chua, the recovery will be on the back of the recent extension in the Songkran holiday to five days, as well as the FIFA World Cup 2018 tournament, which is expected to lift alcohol consumption with compatible match timings for viewers in Asia.
“Over the longer-term, we deem ThaiBev’s acquisition of the largest

USA: MillerCoors warns of beer price hikes and job losses if president follows through on new tax on imported aluminium
|
MillerCoors says beer prices could rise and workers could lose their job if the president follows through on a new tax on imported aluminium, ABC15 Arizona reported on March 2.
President Donald Trump announced on March 1 he’s planning to impose steep tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum to protect the U.S. industry from unfair competition.
In a statement, MillerCoors called it “misguided” and says there isn’t enough domestic supply to meet the demand for its products.
House Speaker Paul Ryan said on March 1 he hopes the president, “will consider the unintended consequences of the new taxes."
