UK: Diageo identifies 12% growth opportunity in the UK
|
Diageo has identified a 12% growth opportunity, translating to £5.2 billion, for the UK alcohol industry over the next three years, the Harpers Wine & Spirit Trade Review reported.
The expected growth opportunity for the combined on and off-trade was revealed on April 23 in a new report released by Diageo GB looking at the key changes in the market over the last 10 years and future trends.
Outlining opportunities, the Diageo Drinks Report identifies four key growth platforms - Balanced Choices (drinks choices to fit with all lifestyles including low and no alcohol), Make the moment (capturing moments of socialising in and out of the home), Exploration (tapping the increasing consumer thirst for trying new drinks) and Celebration (premium drinks to celebrate special times).
Focusing on those would help the category grow to £46.7 billion by 2022 from £41.5 billion in 2017, according to the report, which is based on historic and predictive IWSR data to identify the growth opportunity for the future.
“As categories grow, decline – and in some cases fuse – it becomes clear that we can no longer take an isolated sub-category view. This is now out of step with the way our consumers see the world,” said Dayalan

Croatia: Kaltenberg beer to be brewed in Croatia again
|
After 25 years, Kaltenberg beer has returned to Croatia. Namely, in Kukuljanovo near Rijeka, a production facility has been opened which should, together with a nearby restaurant, revive the popularity which this Bavarian beer had in the 1990s, especially in southern Croatia, Večernji List reported on April 21.
At the time when the production was located at the Jadranska Pivovara brewery, the Kaltenberg beer had the status of being a locally-produced beer. However, the business decision of Laško Pivovara brewery which bought Jadranska Pivovara led to the virtual disappearance of Kaltenberg from the Croatian market. That lasted until recently when Kaltenberg started constructing a 50,000-hectolitre-a-year plant, together with Ludwig's Gastro Pub, a restaurant right next to the brewery. The restaurant has 150 seats for guests, offering Kaltenberg as well as beers by the Austrian brewery Hirter, whose distributor for Croatia is Kaltenberg Adria.
The investment is worth 10 million euro, according to Kaltenberg Adria CEO Gordan Putanec, and the company currently employs 55 people. “Our main ambition is to return to the role of a big player in Dalmatia, where we were once the number one brewery, and we have similar ambitions for the rest of southern Croatia. That is why we

Belgium: Women on a mission to save craft beer in Belgium
|
As any bartender the length of the country will assure you, Belgium is the home of great beer, The Brussels Times reported on April 23.
The drink pumps so strongly through the veins of the nation’s culture that in 2016 UNESCO added Belgian beer to its list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. And yet for over a hundred years, the country's brewing scene has been dominated by a handful of famous names and a very traditional selection of brews. Small local producers have been melting away as quickly as the head on a well-poured pint.
The decline began during the two world wars when metal, required for brewing equipment, was rationed. Small-scale breweries struggled to stay afloat, leaving larger, industrial corporations to dominate the market.
Well after the 1940s, independent beerhouses continued to be squeezed out and by 1999 there were only 100 breweries left in Belgium. At the turn of the 20th century, there had been around 3,200.
While America and Britain were already beginning to ride the wave of the craft beer revolution in the 80s and 90s, Belgium lagged behind. Was the country to become a has-been of the beer world, a country of brews better suited to museum

UK: Czech lager Pardal enters UK’s on-trade
|
Budweiser-Budvar-owned Pardal lager is making its first appearance on the UK on-trade through Signature Brands, Imbibe reported on April 19.
Hailing from the Czech Republic, Pardal is a session lager with an abv of 3.8%. By adding Pardal to its portfolio, Signature Brands is aiming to tap into the rising trend towards lower-abv beers.
‘As the desire for low-alcohol beer increases, licensed venues should be looking at their offerings, ensuring that they are reacting to and catering for any changes in consumer demand,’ said Nic Ponticakis, head of Signature Brands.
Pardal pours slightly darker than most low-abv counterparts; it’s made with water sourced from a local artesian well, Saaz and Agnus hops and Budweiser-Budvar’s own yeast strain. The brewing process lasts for 11 days while the maturation lasts for up to a month.
Pardal joins Signature Brands’ beer portfolio which includes Cruzcampo from Spain, Dortmunder from Germany, Birra Morena from Italy and Lucky Buddha from China.
Pardal is now available through Signature Brands’ largest distribution partner LWC-Drinks. Trade prices start from £75/30lt ex-VAT, and the beer is also available in 50-litre kegs.

Australia: Barley demand strengthens as it remains cheapest feed grain
|
While the autumn break is widely sought across Australia, there is no general rain forecast, The Weekly Times reported on April 23.
Up-country demand for barley has grown as it remains the cheapest feed grain but supplies are limited. Other than the obvious drought-impacted production last season, supplies of barley from interstate have been restrained.
Barley for feed has been transported into the New South Wales markets via train and road but unlike wheat there has been a lack of bulk shipping of barley from Western Australia.
Grain traders have shipped in bulk cargoes of malting barley but the pricing of barley in the eastern states has been too low to justify the logistics cost of bulk shipments.
Wheat prices continue to weaken and barley prices strengthen. Two distinct tiers are appearing that restrict access to cereal grain demand. Wheat prices may be weakening for the stockfeed mills based in Melbourne but buyers in regional markets are not seeing the same softening market.
Grain for on-farm feeding of livestock is on the rise, particularly in central western NSW. Ewes are lambing and the nutritional needs of sheep are high. Many grain traders are holding wheat stocks bought from harvest pending sales this year. Aggressive pricing

India: Maltsters expected to import around 50,000 tonnes of Argentinean barley next month
|
In May, Indian malt companies will import around 50,000 tonnes of barley from Argentina, of which 35,000 tonnes will be bought by United Breweries Ltd and the rest by Haryana-based Barmalt Malting India Ltd, a source told Cogencis.
It is estimated that the coarse grain will be bought at $260-$270 per tonne on a cost and freight basis, and the shipment will reach Adani Port in Gujarat in the last week of May, the source said.
In February, malt makers had imported around 70,000 tonnes of barley.
Currently, the barley market is seeing a supply crunch as arrivals are limited while demand from domestic stockists is on the rise. Due to this, malt makers have turned to imports to meet their requirements, said the owner of a malt company based in Jaipur.
According to the agriculture ministry's second advance estimate, India's barley output in 2018-19 (Jul-Jun) is seen at 1.92 mln tonnes, compared with 1.99 mln tonnes the previous year.
