USA: Nonalcoholic beer sales up 38% in 2020
|
Nonalcoholic beer may finally be having a moment as between the pandemic and presidential election, jokes about getting blitzed at home have become commonplace. Sales numbers show nonalcoholic beer sales in the U.S. were up 38 percent in 2020 with $188 million in sales, according to market research company IRI.
While a number of factors, including a cultural fixation with wellness-related products, contribute to the surge in interest, chief among them is that nonalcoholic beers are better and more interesting now, the Tribune reports. Non-drinkers are no longer limited to O’Doul’s — companies ranging from craft operations like Athletic Brewing Co. to heavy hitters like Heineken are putting out booze-free IPAs, coffee stouts, Oktoberfests, and more.
Though this spike in popularity is exciting for non-drinkers looking to scratch the beer itch, nonalcoholic options constitute less than one percent of industry. Brewers like Big Drop CEO Rob Fink and Lagunitas Brewing CEO Paige Guzman see NA products as one option in their beverage arsenal rather than a full-time commitment, they told the Trib.

South Africa: Heineken to cut 70 jobs and put new investments on hold
|
The South African arm of Heineken will cut 70 jobs and put new investments on hold in the country due to the significant impact of bans on alcohol sales and COVID-19 trading restrictions, it said on January 20, Reuters reports.
South Africa has recently banned alcohol sales for the third time as part of efforts to free up space for COVID-19 patients in hospitals burdened with alcohol-related injuries.
About 30% of local breweries have been forced to shut their doors permanently and some, including Heineken, have abandoned planned investments.
Heineken employs just under 1,000 full time employees in South Africa where more than 165,000 people in the industry have lost their jobs since lockdowns started at the end of March.
The company said in a statement in light of the continued market pressure and in line with a global review by its Dutch parent company, it now finds it necessary to restructure its operations to build a business fit for the future.
“Prior to considering this action, the company implemented various cost mitigation measures throughout 2020,” Heineken South Africa Human Resources Director Yvonne Mosadi said.
“Unfortunately, given the ongoing challenging situation the company finds itself in, these measures are no longer adequate to manage and sustain

UK: Government under pressure to cut tax on draught beer
|
The UK government is under pressure to cut tax on draught beer to “help pubs thrive” once COVID-19 restrictions end, Yahoo! Finance reported on January 21.
The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) is calling for the March budget to lower the rate of duty on beer served on tap, in order to help pubs and restaurants compete with supermarket booze.
Reducing the tax on beer depending on how it is served is an option the government can take to support the industry now the UK has left the European Union.
CAMRA research suggests that even a “modest reduction” in beer tax could result in £26.6 mln ($36.4 mln) of additional expenditure on draught beer in public venues.
This would help many to rebuild their businesses, as well as “bringing alcohol consumption back to social settings – creating jobs and boosting the economy in the process”, the consumer body said.
This is just one of many measures CAMRA is urging the government to take to help pubs and restaurants in 2021.
The organisation has written to chancellor Rishi Sunak to ask him to consider a package of measures ahead of the March budget. These include:
• Ongoing, regular grant payments to help pubs and social clubs cover costs when

UK: Nothern Ireland pub owners pressured not to sell independently-brewed beer
|
Some Northern Ireland pub owners have been pressured by large drinks firms not to sell independently-brewed beer, a local brewing company has alleged, the BBC reported on January 21.
Independent brewing companies have been giving evidence to a Stormont committee on new changes to Northern Ireland's licensing laws.
They say micro-breweries should be allowed to sell draught beer in so-called tap rooms.
The brewers also deny that they would be in direct competition with pubs.
Laurie Davies, from the Lacada Brewery in Portrush, County Antrim, said it was "a scandal" that breweries could not serve customers and tourists draught beer, when they were able to do so in towns across the Republic of Ireland.
He told Stormont's communities committee that some staff from major drinks firms were putting pubs under pressure not to serve micro-brewery beers.
"We have experienced, when we put a (draught beer) tap in bars, there have been reps from the macro (brewery) saying to the owners: 'Take that Lacada tap off or we will stop your discount'," said Mr Davies.
He said the large brewing companies had "locked" the smaller businesses out of the draught beer trade.
Committee chair Paula Bradley said members had heard previous evidence from Hospitality Ulster that if tap rooms

South Africa: Wine grapes and barley growers in crisis due to alcohol sales ban
|
The spill-over of the liquor ban to the agriculture sector is going to be serious, but the impact is yet to be determined, according to Agri SA executive director, Christo van der Rheede.
This followed a recent call to President Cyril Ramaphosa by the Liquor Traders’ Formation, which involved various role players in the liquor industry, to urgently meet with role players in the alcohol industry to end the COVID-19-related alcohol ban, the Business Standard reported on January 19.
In early January, Ramaphosa announced that the ban on the trade of alcohol would be upheld during the extension of Level 3 of the lockdown until 15 February. Van der Rheede told Farmer’s Weekly that the Office of the Presidency had acknowledged receipt of the request.
Van der Rheede said the industry was in crisis, with wine grapes, for example, not being processed due to a lack of wine storage facilities as a result of carry-over wine stock from last year.
Producers of other crops used in the production of alcoholic beverages, such as barley, which is used to make beer, have also been affected.
According to a statement released by Grain SA, brewing company AB InBev has already lowered its barley mandate from 458 000
