Canada: AB InBev’s Labatt Breweries buys Calgary’s Banded Peak Brewing
|
Labatt Breweries of Canada – a division of multinational brewing company AB InBev – has announced that it has purchased Calgary’s Banded Peak Brewing, the Canadian Beer News reported on January 30.
Launched in 2016 by partners Alex Horner, Matthew Berard, and Colin McLean, the Banded Peak brewery and taproom is located in the city’s “Barley Belt”, an area that features ten breweries in close proximity.
“I never dreamed this (the Labatt deal) would have been possible,” said Horner in an interview with the Calgary Herald. “We obviously had lots of ambition for the brewery, we wanted to grow it and build our business, but this level of growth we never anticipated and we never saw a partnership like this as something that was possible.”
“The growth of craft beer in Alberta is actually outpacing the growth we’ve seen in the rest of Canada,” said Rob Legate of Labatt in the same report. “They (Banded Peak) have done a great job of building a very strong brand, and we can leverage our scale to provide them with investment and resources and capability and capacity to continue to nurture that growth.”
Financial terms of the transaction have not been disclosed.

Vietnam: ThaiBev might take worse hit if Vietnam further widens alcohol regulation policies
|
The new drink-driving law already caused beer sales in Vietnam to drop 25%.
Thai Beverage (ThaiBev) might take a worse hit if Vietnam further widens and tightens its policies on alcohol regulation, according to a report by UOB Kay Hian.
Already, a newly-enacted drink-driving law, which penalises driving under the influence of alcohol, has been attributed for a 25% drop in beer sales since its introduction on 1 January. About 24% of ThaiBev’s group revenue comes from Vietnam.
Some countries with even tighter measures showed worse decline in consumption. In Russia, policies including a ban on online alcohol advertising have reduced the country’s total alcohol consumption by 43% from the 2003 peak to 2016.
“The stricter regulations in Vietnam appear to be initially centered on the hazards of drink driving rather than a general clampdown on alcohol usage,” analyst Lucas Teng said.
Still, the sector may deal with regulatory risks, in addition to higher competition, as prices are lowered to capture support from consumers.
Outside the new regulation, ThaiBev’s beer business Sabeco already reported a 7% YoY decline in net sales on Q4 2019, as it saw lower sales volume and higher tax from changing one of its breweries from an associate to subsidiary.
Despite that, Vietnam’s

USA: Meteoric rise of Mexican beer keeps surprising analysts
|
It's been two years since Budweiser fell out of the top three largest beers by off-premise sales in the U.S. Now, it's suffered another ignominy: After yet another year of falling sales, the one-time King of Beers has seen one of the giants of the Mexican beer craze pass it up, Nasdaq reported on January 25.
The industry analysts at IRI say that Anheuser-Busch InBev's Budweiser saw off-premise sales fall 4% in 2019, which even at $1.8 billion, doesn't qualify for a top-five ranking. It's enough to leave the brewer crying in its beer.
The past few years have been difficult for the beer industry with U.S. sales drying up because of changing consumer preferences. Instead of a blend of barley, malt, and hops, drinkers are turning in greater numbers to light, fruity beverages like hard seltzer and tea.
But don't bemoan the decline of the mega brewer's flagship beer segment, as Anheuser-Busch still owns the two biggest beers in the country, Bud Light and Michelob Ultra. Even though sales of the former suffered a 5% decline, it remains far and away the leader with over $5 billion in sales to U.S. off-premise retailers in 2019. Off-premise sales are those made at package

USA: Dropping beer sales force top brewers to create new alternatives
|
Beer consumption has dropped by over 4% in the U.S. in the last year. The drink’s falling popularity has forced some of America’s top brewers into a race to accommodate changing tastes – just in time for one of beer’s biggest days of the year, Super Bowl Sunday, WCBI reported on January 30.
The decline should not come as a surprise to manufacturers; sales of traditional lagers have been going down for more than five years.
“Some of the reasons we’re seeing some of the declines within those traditional lagers are consumer trends,” Danelle Kosmal told CBS News’ Janet Shamlian at the Dupont Circle Hotel’s Doyle bar in Washington, D.C. Kosmal is vice president at the Nielsen Beverage Alcohol Practice.
“Consumer trends around health and wellness, consumer trends around wanting a different and new experience,” are all reasons for the shift, she said.
Products like craft beers from small brewers have become growing trends, as well as hard seltzers that promise health-conscious consumers fewer carbs and lower calories. In 2019, hard seltzer sales hit $1.5 billion.
Big beer brands are paying attention – the U.S.’s top five brewers are all experimenting with beer alternatives like hard seltzer and even non-alcoholic kombucha in an effort to

China: AB InBev temporarily suspends production at Wuhan brewery
|
Beer giant AB InBev has said that it has temporarily suspended production at its Wuhan brewery, in China, according to Reuters.
The Budweiser maker said that it currently has no scheduled date for resuming production in Wuhan, which is at the epicentre of the coronavirus epidemic.
Elsewhere, major firms are seeking to limit their exposure to the virus outbreak, which has thus far killed 132 and affected close to 6,000.
Facebook, which suspended non-essential travel to mainland China, told employees who had travelled to China to work from home.
Alibaba asked employees to work from home for a week after an extended Lunar New Year break ends on February 2, while Tencent has extended holidays until February 9.
McDonald's shut outlets in five cities in Hubei province, while Yum China temporarily closed some KFC and Pizza Hut stores in Wuhan, and Luckin Coffee closed its cafes in the city.
Even the Magic Kingdom isn't immune to the disruption, with Walt Disney shutting its resorts and theme parks in Shanghai and Hong Kong during what is likely the busiest time of the year.

South Korea: Carlsberg sales up 86% last year
|
Sales of Danish beer Carlsberg have soared in South Korea, a recent report showed.
According to Golden Blue, sales of Carlsberg beer rose 86 percent last year from 2018.
Golden Blue, a homegrown whiskey maker that imports and sells Carlsberg beer, previously entered the local market by signing a contract with Danish brewer Carlsberg A/S in May 2018.
Since then, the company has been focusing on hands-on marketing, which includes participating in various festivals and significantly increasing drinking opportunities for consumers by operating pop-up stores.
As a result, sales in the summer of last year increased 192 percent compared to 2018, and the second half also achieved an 80 percent increase.
Meanwhile, Golden Blue plans to launch a variety of sales and marketing activities this year to boost sales of Carlsberg beer.
By sharing Carlsberg content on YouTube and other online channels, the company will raise awareness among millennials, while further strengthening its hands-on marketing initiative.

UK & US: Diageo warns of Scottish whisky jobs threat from US-EU trade dispute
|
Spirits giant Diageo has warned that thousands of Scotch whisky jobs could be affected by the ongoing US-EU trade dispute, BBC News reported on January 30.
Diageo's global supply chain boss Ewan Andrew said tariffs had left smaller distilleries vulnerable, as well as supply chain operators such as farms.
The US imposed a 25% tariff on imports of single malt Scotch in October.
It was among measures introduced by the US in retaliation against EU subsidies given to aircraft maker Airbus.
According to industry figures, more than 10,000 people are directly employed in the Scotch whisky sector in Scotland. A further 40,000 jobs across the UK are supported by the industry - 7,000 of which are in rural areas of Scotland.
Mr Andrew told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme: "The important thing as we look forward is that we de-escalate on both sides and that products such as consumer goods are not tied in to something that is about the aerospace industry.
"My concern would be for the broader industry and for those smaller players in the industry.
"Right now I am sure it has had an impact on some of their businesses but if it were to escalate, that really would be difficult for Scotland.
"So
