Japan: Kirin aims to become Japan's top brewer with jump into craft beer
|
The first thing that stands out when entering the Spring Valley Brewery restaurant in Tokyo's upscale Daikanyama district is a cluster of transparent brewing tanks, serving up six types of craft beer. Though owned and operated as a subsidiary of Japan's iconic Kirin Brewery, there is no Kirin logo to be seen, the Nikkei Asian Review reported on August 13.
"We want to convey to our customers the joy of beer, not the name of Kirin itself," said Sakurako Yoshino, a founding member of the Spring Valley chain.
The restaurant is an attempt by parent Kirin Holdings to regain the top spot in the domestic beer market from Asahi Group Holdings by tapping into the global craft beer boom, which is threatening the mega brands that have dominated the beer market for years.
Now, with Japan's beer market drying up for 14 consecutive years through 2018, Kirin thinks it may have the right recipe.
After joining Kirin in 2006, Yoshino handled marketing for fruit-flavored canned beverages based on shochu, a distilled liquor made from grain or sweet potatoes. Tiring of this, she told her boss she wanted to market beer, but was turned down. Developing and marketing beer was far less interesting than shochu

Australia: 1-in-8 Australians consume beer, wine and another alcohol
|
New research from Roy Morgan shows that two-thirds of Australians aged 18+ (66.3%) consume alcohol in an average four weeks and over 1-in-8 Australians (12.8%) consume not only beer and wine, but also at least one of spirits, RTDs, liqueurs or cider in an average four weeks.
For the two-thirds of Australians that do drink alcohol on a regular basis wine is the most popular choice with 41.3% of Australians drinking wine in an average four weeks compared to 37.6% that drink beer. In addition 37.6%, drink another type of alcohol including at least one of spirits, cider, RTDs or liqueurs.
However, despite the 1-in-8 Australians that drink beer, wine and something else, overall incidence of alcohol consumption has continued to decline gently over the last five years from 69.8% in mid-2014.
All major categories of alcoholic drinks showed decline in incidence over this period although deeper analysis within gender and age groups reveals some types of alcohol are growing in popularity for different segments of the population.
These are some of the latest findings derived from the Roy Morgan’s ‘Alcohol Consumption Currency Report June 2019’ which is based on in-depth interviews conducted face-to-face with over 50,000 consumers per annum in their homes,

USA: MillerCoors launching Saint Archer Gold to tackle US third-most-popular beer Michelob Ultra
|
Michelob Ultra is now the third-most-popular beer in the U.S., and Chicago-based MillerCoors wants to tackle the behemoth, Crain’s Chicago Business reported on August 9.
MillerCoors is launching Saint Archer Gold, a light lager, nationwide beginning Jan. 1, 2020. The new product is aimed directly at stealing market share from Michelob Ultra, the company said.
At 95 calories and 2.6 carbs per 12-ounce serving, MillerCoors is targeting active people. Health-conscious drinkers, fueled by younger consumers, is a big reason why hard seltzers have exploded in recent years.
“They are all gunning for the king. I don’t know if there is a brand that can overtake Michelob Ultra . . . they created the better-for-you market,” said Bryan Roth, an industry expert and an editor at Good Beer Hunting.
MillerCoors plans a major national marketing campaign for Saint Archer Gold through TV advertising, digital, paid social and other media. MillerCoors declined to give an exact marketing budget, but a spokesman said it will have similar resources to other MillerCoors national product launches.
Michelob Ultra passed Miller Lite last month and is now the third best-selling beer in the U.S., behind only Bud Light and Coors Light, with total sales of $2.05

India: Homebrewing community still small but growing
|
A small but growing community of Indians has been geeking out in their kitchens, producing small-batch beers and secretly meeting up to swap tasting notes, VICE reported on August 6.
In 2013, when 36-year-old Sapan—a software engineer living in the city of Pune—decided to start brewing beer at home, he and a friend went to great lengths to procure malt, which wasn’t easily available back then. Their search led them to a factory in Gurgaon in northern India which could sell them only a 40-kilogram bag of malt, despite the duo needing no more than a couple of kilos each for their brewing experiments. But gradually, Sapan discovered the homebrewer network in his city, where he could share and swap both, ingredients and advice. He also discovered supportive professional brewers who were generous with advice and even supplies if needed.
From having “no idea that you could brew beers at home” to being “known for his dark beers,” Sapan has come a long way, much like the small but closely collaborative community of homebrewers in India.
With sourcing of ingredients becoming easier through online stores and the fact that the miniscule houses of urban India are not a hindrance to brewing that requires

UK: Asahi secures registration of ‘Snow Globe’ trademark
|
Japanese beer company Asahi has secured the registration of a ‘Snow Globe’ trademark in the UK, after fending off opposition from the China-based brewer of Snow beer, the World Intellectual Property Review reported on August 12.
The UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO) dismissed China Resources Snow Brewery’s opposition to ‘Snow Globe’ on Thursday, August 8, finding that the Asahi’s trademark should proceed to registration.
Pub company Fuller’s, which was acquired by Asahi earlier this year, applied to register ‘Snow Globe’ as a trademark for “beer, ale, lager, stout and porter; non-alcoholic beers” in February 2018.
‘Snow Globe’ was chosen as the name of a seasonal beer to be brewed and consumed during the winter months, according to an evidence statement submitted by Fuller’s company secretary.
China Resources, which is the maker of the Snow, the world’s most popular beer, soon opposed Asahi’s trademark application. In December 2017, China Resources entered into an agreement with Molson Coors (a multinational brewing company) granting it exclusive rights to distribute Snow beer to the UK market.
In its opposition, China Resources cited six marks, including a European trademark for the word ‘Snow’, covering beers, and claimed that the respective goods and services are identical or similar and the marks

Canada & USA: Constellation Brands agrees to dispose of Black Velvet Canadian Whisky
|
Constellation Brands has agreed to offload Black Velvet Canadian Whisky to US distilled spirits supplier Heaven Hill Brands for approximately $266 million, FoodBev.com reported on August 13.
The deal also includes Black Velvet’s associated production facility in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, along with a subset of Canadian whisky brands produced at that site.
The net sales for the brands included in the transaction totalled $67 million during Constellation’s fiscal year 2019.
“We are relentlessly focused on the consumer and building a portfolio of brands consumers love today, while pushing beyond to meet their evolving needs well into the future,” said Bill Newlands, Constellation Brands CEO.
“This decision aligns with our consumer-led premiumisation strategy to deliver accelerated growth and shareholder value as we continue to focus our wine and spirits portfolio on higher-end, fast-growing brands.
“For Heaven Hill, Black Velvet is a historic, well-known, and high-volume brand that complements their broad distilled spirits portfolio and aligns with their business strategy.”
Heaven Hill said the Black Velvet brand fills an “important gap” in its distilled spirits portfolio by substantially expanding sales activities in the imported whisky category, adding that the brand complements its portfolio of brands such as Evan Williams Bourbon, Burnett’s Vodka, Deep Eddy Vodka, Admiral Nelson’s Rums
