World: Molson Coors reports drop in first-quarter profit
|
Molson Coors Brewing Co.’s first-quarter profit fell compared with a year ago when its results were boosted by a one-time payment.
The beer company, which reports in U.S. dollars, says it earned US$151.4 million or 70 cents per share for the quarter.
The result compared with a profit if $278.1 million or $1.28 per share a year earlier when the company saw a $328-million cash payment related to a price adjustment for its purchase of the Miller International brewing business.
Molson Coors says its underlying profit for the quarter totalled $112.7 million or 52 cents per share compared with an underlying profit of $104.3 million or 48 cents per share a year ago.
Net sales totalled $2.3 billion, down from $2.33 billion.
The dip came due to lower volumes and unfavourable changes in foreign currency, offset by higher prices and a favourable sales mix in Europe. On a constant currency basis, net sales increased 0.6 per cent.

Canada: Brewing giant Sleeman makes bid for Calgary’s Wild Rose Brewery
|
One of Calgary’s best known craft breweries could become part of the Sleeman empire, if shareholders vote in favour of an offer by the Guelph-based beer-maker, the Calgary Herald reported on April 30.
Wild Rose Brewery — which has been in operation since 1996 and is one of Alberta’s largest craft breweries — is the target of a takeover bid by Sleeman Breweries, the third-largest brewer in Canada and a subsidiary of the Japanese multinational beer giant Sapporo Breweries Ltd.
Wild Rose is a privately held company and details of the purchase offer have not been disclosed. However, Wild Rose CEO Bill McKenzie confirmed in an email that a shareholder vote will be held May 9.
“Wild Rose has received an offer from Sleeman and we have sent this offer to our shareholders for approval,” McKenzie said. “We plan to issue a press release on Friday, May 10.”
Wild Rose Brewery, which was founded by Mike Tymchuk and Alan Yule, began producing draft beer out of a Calgary industrial park in 1996, and in 2006 moved to a converted Quonset hut at Currie Barracks. In 2013, the brewery moved to a new C$5-million, 40,000-square-foot production facility in Foothills Industrial Park.

Australia & UK: Australia’s Lion to open a London brewery for its craft beer brand Little Creatures
|
Australasian food and beverage company Lion is to open a London brewery for its craft beer brand Little Creatures, following its acquisition of UK breweries Fourpure and Magic Rock, The Drinks Business reported on April 29.
Following its acquisition of Bermondsey brewer Fourpure in July 2018 and Huddersfield’s Magic Rock last month, Lion is expanding its investment in UK beer.
The company is to open a taproom and restaurant behind new development Granary Square in King’s Cross. The 557sqm site features a six-hectolitre brewery, taproom and restaurant.
Lion first introduced Little Creatures to the London market in 2017 when it ran a pop-up in Elephant & Castle. As well as London, it is also opening new venues in San Francisco, Taipei and Auckland.
According to The Grocer, head brewer at Little Creatures, Lara Smith, has relocated to London from Australia in order to supervise the project.
Lion UK and Europe regional director Toby Knowles told the title that the investment in the UK would “embed the Little Creatures brand in the community, provide greater awareness and ultimately market the brand to an audience who already have a real interest in craft”.
Little Creatures was founded in Fremantle in Western Australia in 2000. Developing a reputation for

|
Japanese beer giant Asahi has confirmed the addition of former Fuller’s brands London Pride, Frontier and Cornish Orchards to its UK portfolio, following its acquisition of the British brewer, The Drinks Business reported on April 29.
The brands will join Peroni Nastro Azzurro, Asahi Super Dry, Pilsner Urquell and Meantime as part of Asahi’s super premium portfolio.

(b) shall contain at most 4% of residual sugars; and
(c) may have added to it during the course of manufacture any of the following ingredients:
(i) cereal grain,
(ii) honey, maple syrup, fruit, fruit juice or any other source of carbohydrates,
(iii) herbs and spices,
(iv) salt,
(v) flavouring preparations,
(vi) pre-isomerized hop extract,

USA: AB InBev drops US trade case against Heineken
|
Anheuser-Busch InBev SA said it’s dropping a U.S. trade case against Heineken NV to focus instead on getting money from its rival beermaker, Bloomberg reported on April 29.
Heineken is no longer importing its Blade or Brewlock beer dispensing systems into the U.S., so there’s no need to proceed with a patent-infringement case at the U.S. International Trade Commission, AB InBev said in a filing. The agency only has the power to block imports and can’t award damages, so AB InBev said it’s turning to the courts for cash.
“We are pleased to have achieved our desired outcome in this proceeding -- namely Heineken’s withdrawal of its products from the market,” Pablo Jimenez, a spokesman for AB InBev said in a statement. “Given we have achieved our desired result, we see no further need for the requested relief from the USITC.”
When it filed its trade complaint against Heineken, AB InBev also filed a civil lawsuit in New York that was put on hold. AB InBev said it will ask that the case be reopened. It didn’t say how much it believes Heineken owes in damages.
The world’s two largest beermakers -- both based in Europe -- have accused each other of infringing patents
