Japan: Four major brewers report July beer sales
|
Four major Japanese brewers on August 13 reported year-on-year falls in sales of beer and quasi-beer products in July, reflecting continuing drops in demand from restaurants and other business customers amid the spread of the new coronavirus, Nippon.com said.
Sales by volume fell 5 pct at Kirin Brewery Co., 9 pct at Suntory Beer Ltd. and 2 pct at Sapporo Breweries Ltd., while sales by value were down 6 pct at Asahi Breweries Ltd. Also behind the slumps was unfavorable weather.
Beer and quasi-beer sales were sluggish in July last year as well, due to bad weather and consumers’ shift to canned “chuhai” spirits.
With many restaurants and pubs now operating by reducing the number of seats for customers to prevent coronavirus infection, sales last month of bottled and barreled beer dropped to 60-70 pct of the year-before levels.
Sales to business-use products are recovering after hitting bottom in April. But an official of a major brewer warned that sales to businesses are likely to fall again amid a recent resurgence in coronavirus cases across the country.

Mexico: President accuses Constellation Brands of planning to open new brewery despite rescinded permits
|
Mexico’s president López Obrador has accused United States beverage company Constellation Brands of planning to go ahead and open its new brewery in Mexicali, Baja California, despite the fact that its permits have been rescinded, the Mexico News Daily reported on August 12.
In March, Mexicali voters shot down the plant in a referendum, with 76.1% voting against it.
López Obrador told reporters on August 12 that he would not allow the American beer, wine, and spirits company to build its plant at the planned site, and that the company should respect the decision of those who voted against it.
Company representatives met with the president on March 31, after which the latter said they had agreed to resolve the issue by conciliation rather than through the courts. He commended them for “rising to the occasion” and said they were an example of good behavior during a conflict.
However, they could have had second thoughts being faced with a US $900-million loss — the amount invested to date in the plant’s construction.
“I told them clearly that the plant was not going to be able to open in Mexicali, but now I have heard — it’s true — that they are looking to reverse

Kenya: East African Breweries hopes beer in carton packs of six will lift Covid-19 sales
|
East African Breweries Limited (EABL) is banking on new model of packaging bottled alcohol to allow customers buy in bulk and consume from home after closure of bars to contain Covid-19 spread, the Business Daily reported on August 14.
The beer-maker has started packaging its bottled beer brands in carton packs of six to allow customers buy as take-away and return bottles once they finish consuming.
Customers will, however, be required to part with Sh17 as deposit per bottle or a total of Sh408 for a carton of 24 bottles.
EABL said the shift from use of crates will make it more convenience for customers given that joints such as bars are closed and consumption within restaurants banned.
“We are introducing a new pack format for ease of home consumption. We are using packs of six in a carton instead of the shopper having to carry loose bottles,” the brewer said in an email response to the Business Daily.
“The packaging is cartons of 24 bottles and each carton has four packs of six. As soon as they are through with consuming the product they have bought, they need to return the empties.”
This comes on the back of EABL net earnings plunging to six-year

Nicaragua: Molson Coors to launch its Miller Lite beer in Nicaragua
|
Molson Coors Beverage Company has signed a multiyear agreement with Companía Cervecera de Nicaragua (CCN) to launch its Miller Lite beer in Nicaragua, the Drinks Insight Network reported on August 13.
Under the agreement, CCN will brew, market and distribute Molson Coors’ Original Light Beer across Nicaragua as a premium international brand from the fourth quarter of this year.
The companies did not reveal the financial terms of the agreement.
Molson Coors Latin America vice-president Chris Wensel said: “We’re excited about expanding further into Nicaragua and continuing to grow throughout the region.
“With this deal, we’re able to close a white space in our footprint, and we’re able to team up with the strongest beer partner possible.”
Established in 1926, CCN is said to be the largest brewer in Nicaragua region and produces beer brands such as Victoria Frost, Mytos and Toña and Toña Light.
Molson Coors already has a relationship with the Latin American company, under which CCN is serving as Miller Lite contract brewer and export it to Honduras.
With this deal, Molson Coors aims to expand its presence in the Latin American market.
In the Latin American region, the company’s brands are available in Mexico, Panama, Honduras, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Paraguay, and Chile.

Mexico: Barley imports at historical high of 320 thousand tonnes in 2019/20
|
Mexico’s trade year 2019/20 (Oct – Sep) barley imports are projected at a historical high of 320,000 tonnes, USDA said in its August report.
European Union exports of barley to Mexico have been particularly strong, and higher unit values indicate that it is likely malting quality. In the past, the United States has captured about half or more of Mexico’s total import volume, but market intelligence suggests that major Mexican brewers are turning to the European Union for more favorable buying terms. U.S. producers prefer contract farming for malting barley, whereas EU barley can be purchased at auction or via spot contracts.
Research by J.P. Morgan and the Kirin Company shows that North American beer consumption grew by 0.1 percent between 2011 and 2016. However, looking at the individual countries paints a different picture. While beer consumption in the United States was essentially flat and Canada declined, Mexico had a compound annual growth rate of 3.4 percent over the period.
The expansion of beer consumption in Mexico – and consequently production – is supported by its imports of malt as well. Malt imports have been steadily growing over the last 2 decades. Imports of malt generally exceed those of barley; however, in

UK & USA: Whisky jobs at risk as US maintains 25 per cent tariff on single malt imports
|
A UK whisky industry leader has warned that some brands are being forced out of the market and jobs are at risk following the decision by the US to maintain its 25 per cent tariff on imports of single malt, the John O’Groat Journal reported on August 13.
Karen Betts, chief executive of the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA), claimed that the tariff was causing "huge damage" and compounding the problems caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The trade body says the whisky industry is being hit hard in its most valuable export market. The 25 per cent tariff was impose on single malt in October 2019 – part of a raft of measures in retaliation for the EU’s subsidising of Airbus – and since then exports of all Scotch whisky to the US have fallen by 30 per cent. This is said to amount to over £200 million in lost exports.
“It’s deeply disappointing to see that the 25 per cent tariff on single malt Scotch whisky exports to the US has been retained by the US government," Ms Betts said. "The tariff is inflicting huge damage on the Scotch whisky sector, with exports to the US down 30 per cent since the tariff
