South Africa: Heineken increasing capacity of its Sedibeng brewery
|
Despite an economic downturn, international beer brewer Heineken South Africa will be expanding its Sedibeng brewery's production from 5.3-million hectolitres to 7.5-million hectolitres a year by 2020, ETRetail.com reported on July 29.
By 2022, production will have increased to eight-million hectolitres a year.
The total investment value of the expansion is estimated at €65-million.
While hosting media for a tour of the Sedibeng facility ahead of International Beer Day, on August 2, Heineken South Africa MD Gerrit van Loo told Engineering News Online that the facility currently produces 1.8-billion bottles and cans of its brands a year.
Electricity supply constraints have become a problem of late, with Heineken having had to buy diesel generators to keep the Sedibeng facility operational during periods of load-shedding.
Considering that this alternative is costlier than the electricity supplied by State-owned Eskom, Van Loo told Engineering News Online that Heineken is considering investing in a solar energy alternative.
Further, as part of the brand's "Brewing A Better World" global sustainability strategy, Heineken is aiming to increase its local sourcing of raw materials to 23% by 2020.

Japan & South Korea: Asahi admits South Korea’s boycott of Japanese goods affecting its beer sales
|
Asahi Group Holdings said on August 1 the spread of the South Korean consumer boycott of Japanese goods was affecting its beer sales as it lowered its profit guidance slightly, while also citing the yen’s rise against the euro and Aussie dollar, Reuters reported on August 1.
“We cannot deny there’s been a slight impact,” Chief Financial Officer Atsushi Katsuki told reporters. “That has been included somewhat in the outlook.”
Asahi lowered the forecast for its full-year operating profit to 215.5 billion yen ($1.97 billion) from a previous guidance of 217 billion yen, mainly due to currency moves.
Tensions between Japan and South Korea have intensified since a South Korean court last year ordered Japanese companies to compensate Koreans who were forced to work for Japanese occupiers during World War Two. In July, Japan restricted exports of high-tech materials to South Korea.
South Korea buys 61% of Japan’s beer exports, spending 7.9 billion yen ($73 million) in 2018 for the shipments. Asahi Super Dry is the most popular import brand in South Korea, with sales tripling in the past five years, according to Euromonitor.
Asahi is looking overseas for growth amid a shrinking domestic population. Last month it announced that it was buying Anheuser-Busch InBev’s

India: AB InBev launches Budweiser 0.0 in India
|
World’s leading brewer, Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) announced its foray in the non-alcohol beer segment in India with the launch of its first non-alcohol beer, Budweiser 0.0, the company said in a statement.
This introduction is in line with AB InBev’s Global Smart Drinking Goals to ensure that low and no-alcohol beer make up at least 20% of company's global beer volume by 2025 and empower consumers through the choice to enjoy beer freely and responsibly.
The new variant is brewed using the iconic Budweiser recipe, with barley malt, choice hops, yeast, pure filtered water, and the distinctive beechwood aging process; during the final stage of which the alcohol is removed through a special process to retain the taste that’s true to the standards of Budweiser, the company said.
“Budweiser is one of the fastest-growing brands in the country and we are thrilled to add Budweiser 0.0 to our existing portfolio of brands here in India. While the market for non-alcohol beers is still nascent in India, as a leading brewer we see a great opportunity to grow this segment. The launch is in line with our Global Smart Drinking Goals to ensure that low and no alcohol beer make up at

World: Diageo launches share buyback programme with £1.25 bln first phase
|
Diageo has entered into a non-discretionary agreement with UBS to execute the first phase of its return of capital programme to enable it to buy back shares, it announced on August 1.
The FTSE 100 brewing and distilling giant said the agreement was starting on August 1, and was expected to end no later than 31 January, for a value of up to £1.25 bln.
It comes after Diageo’s board approved a return of capital programme to return up to £4.5 bln to shareholders over the next three years on 25 July.
“The purpose of the buybacks is to reduce the share capital of Diageo,” the board said in its statement.
“All shares repurchased will be cancelled.”
It said the £1.25 bln share buyback programme would fall within the maximum number of shares that could be repurchased under its existing general authority from shareholders to repurchase 246,118,306 shares, granted at the 2018 annual general meeting.
A renewed general authority to repurchase shares up to a maximum of 237,177,623 shares was being sought at Diageo's upcoming 2019 annual general meeting.
“Further execution phases of the return of capital programme will be announced in due course,” the Diageo board added.

Kenya: Keroche Breweries launches new KB Lager in Kenya
|
Keroche Breweries has cranked up competition in Kenya’s alcoholic drinks market with the launch of a new beer, The Standard reported on July 29.
The KB Lager is the third beer brand for the company that also produces Summit Lager and Summit Malt.
Chief Executive Tabitha Karanja said during its launch in Naivasha at the weekend that the new beer is sugar-free, and is produced from locally sourced sorghum and barley.
“We promised to launch more products and finally we have come up with a unique beet that is using 70 per cent locally grown cereal and 30 per cent malted barley,” she said.
The firm also produces an array of spirits.
According to the Chief Officer, the move to use the local products would be a big boast to farmers adding that they would support the farmers in their production.
“We will support all Kenyans cereal farmers to continue growing cereals that meet international standards and suitable for beer brewing,” she said.
Karanja termed KB lager as specially crafted using the State of art technology and traditional process that guarantees customers full satisfaction.
She added that the introduction of the beer would see 400 jobs directly created and thousands of others indirectly through distribution network.

Belgium: New generation of Belgians taking on lambic brewing tradition
|
Real lambic takes time. It laughs at hasty plans. Until recently there were only eight lambic brewers in the Senne Valley. Discover the two newest brewers taking on a very old tradition, the Craft Beer & Brewing reported on July 31.
It’s easy for Jo Panneels to remember the day Lambiek Fabriek brewed its first batch of lambic. That was March 22, 2016—the same day as the worst terrorist attack in Belgian history.
Belgium excels at the surreal; just think of René Magritte and the pipe that is not a pipe. But it’s hard to imagine anything more surreal than filling a homemade coolship full of wort for the first time—nervously embarking on a risky venture to become traditional lambic brewers—while absorbing news about suicide bombs that killed thirty-five people on the other side of Brussels.
“It’s like when people say, ‘You remember where you were on 9 / 11,’” says Jo Panneels of Lambiek Fabriek. “Well, we remember.”
The news was deeply disturbing for the young brewers, of course, but they had other things on their minds—namely, their livelihoods. They were staking much of their own money and time on a great leap of faith. It would be many months before they could

Kenya: Heineken to pay Kenya distributor over Ksh.1.7 bln in distribution row
|
Heineken East Africa Import Company Limited has suffered a blow after the High Court in Nairobi on July 30 directed the brewer to pay Maxam Limited over Ksh.1.7 billion in a distribution row, the Citizen TV reported.
In the ruling, the court noted that Heineken is liable to compensate the plaintiff for its breach of the clause No. 26 of their agreement.
Justice James Makau directed the Dutch brewer to pay Ksh.1,799,978,868 as special damages for loss of business after Heineken terminated Maxam’s distribution agreement.
“I find the plaintiff has demonstrated that the defendants acted in breach of the contract,” ruled the court.
The court further declared that Heineken’s conduct of offering lower market prices to other distributors and approving higher prices to Maxam on the same products thereby arbitrarily reducing their approved margins is discriminatory.
“A declaration be and is hereby issued that the Kenyan Distributors Agreement dated May 21, 2013 between the plaintiff and the first defendant is in full force and effect as per the terms and conditions set out therein,” read the ruling.
The judge noted that there was no basis at all to appoint additional distributors and deprive Maxam supplies of Heineken beer products.
“The agreement has always been renewed and the

South Africa: South African Breweries well on its way to sourcing 100% of all raw materials locally
|
The South African Breweries (SAB) is well on its way to sourcing 100% of all of its raw materials used in the brewing process from local South African suppliers. This has been instrumental in the business’ achievement of a Level 3 B-BBEE status, up from Level 4 which it hovered at for a number of years, the Creamer Media’s Engineering News reported on July 31.
“We are proud to source just over 97% of all of our raw materials, including barley, hops and maize from local suppliers, many of which are emerging black farmers and other SMME businesses who we support and help develop through our intensive entrepreneurship and agricultural programmes,” says Zoleka Lisa, VP Corporate Affairs, SAB and AB InBev Africa.
A critical focus of SAB since the business combination between SABMiller and AB InBev at the end of 2016 is the radical transformation of its supply chain bringing the producer and consumer closer together and in turn helping to strengthen the local economy.
While SAB has been a forerunner for many decades in bringing local black suppliers on board, giving them access to market and empowering them through business support and development programmes, a more robust approach has
