Brewery news USA: Domestic tax-paid beer shipments increase by 2.6% in February and by 2.5% in January-February this year
The US Beer Institute published an unofficial estimate of domestic tax paid shipments by beer brewers for February 2021 on March 24.

The February 2021 estimate is 11,625,000 barrels, an increase of 2.6% compared to February 2020 removals of 11,325,000.

The year-to-date beer shipments (January-February) are up by 2.5% to 24,350,000 barrels.

The Beer Institute is a national trade association for the American brewing industry, representing brewers of all sizes, as well as beer importers and industry suppliers—an industry that supports more than 2.1 million jobs and provides more than $328 billion to the American economy. First founded in 1862 as the U.S. Brewers Association, the Beer Institute is committed today to the development of sound public policy and to the values of civic duty and personal responsibility.

Brewery news The Czech Republic: Study shows more Czechs prefer wine to beer
Czechs are known as being among the top countries in the world when it comes to the consumption of beer. However, the alcoholic drink that is consumed by the most people in the Czech Republic is not actually beer but wine, according to a new survey, Radio Prague reported on March 22.

The study by the Focus agency for the wine-growers’ association Vinařský fond found that a full 73 percent of Czech adults consume wine. When it comes to beer the figure is 65 percent, Vinařský fond said in a news release.

With regard to overall volume, however, beer remains the most consumed alcoholic beverage in the country where Pilsner-style lager was invented.

The study indicates that Czech wine consumers tend to be patriotic, with almost three-quarter saying they prefer Moravian and Bohemian brands, in part because of the taste and in part because they wish to support domestic production, the director of Vinařský fond, Jaroslav Machovec, said.

Indeed, the most important finding of the report was that Czech wine drinkers are prepared to pay more for the higher quality of domestically produced víno, Mr. Machovec said.

More than half of those who drink wine prefer the white variety. The survey found that 54 percent ...More info on site


Brewery news Japan: Two of Japan’s leading brewers to tap into no sugar content beer
Mass-produced beers with no sugar content. That's one of the options facing beer lovers as two of Japan's four leading breweries opt to tap into the growing market of at-home drinkers and woo health-conscious imbibers, The Asahi Shimbun reported on March 25.

Suntory Beer Ltd. says its new product will boast 5.5 percent alcohol by volume with a refreshing aftertaste. Kirin Brewery Co. blazed the trail last fall with its version that has 4 percent alcohol.

The marketing ploy was driven in part by a growing fad to drink at home due to restrictions on bar closing times as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The breweries are also keen to attract drinkers who pay particular attention to their health.

The addition of sugar is traditionally a vital part of beer brewing, so removing all sugar content from the fermentation process is said to be a difficult feat from a technical perspective.

Suntory said Feb. 24 it will start selling zero-sugar canned beer on April 13 under the Perfect Suntory Beer brand.

Suntory expects 350-milliliter cans sold at convenience stores to be priced at around 198 yen ($1.82), excluding 10 percent consumption tax.

“The company name and the word ‘perfect’ are included (in the product ...More info on site


Brewery news UK: Brewers increasing beer production in preparation for lockdown lifting in April
Breweries are increasing beer production as pubs are set to welcome punters back to beer gardens from April 12, the Lancashire Telegraph reported on March 25.

Some breweries have begun brewing but at a lower rate than they would if pubs were not subject to restrictions as many pubs are expected to be much quieter due to limited seating and potentially bad weather.

Some pubs have decided to hold off opening until hospitality is also open indoors – scheduled for May 17.

Andrew Buchanan, Thwaites director of pubs and brewing, has said that they began brewing again last week and have 2,500 pints brewing ready to go out to their pubs in the coming weeks.

He said: "Beer will start going into pubs during the week after Easter Monday.

"Before then we will have brewed around 2,500 pints and it's just great that we are in a position to welcome customers back."

The brewery, which brews cask beer for its own pubs which are located up and down the country, is initially hoping to re-open about 75 per cent of its pubs.

Of its portfolio, only a quarter will be open seven days a week with most only opening on the weekend due to the demand the ...More info on site


Brewery news Nigeria: Guinness Nigeria’s shares surge by about 10%
Shares of Guinness Nigeria Plc surged by about 10% on March 26 on the Nigerian Stock Exchange, lifting the company’s market capitalization by N5.9 billion at the close of the market, the Nairametrics reported on March 26.

The impressive 9.86% surge in the shares of Guinness on March 26 was driven by investors buying interest in the shares of the brewer. Their interest has seen the shares of the company increase by more than 30% in less than a month.

Data tracked on March 26 from market open, down to the close of trading activities on the exchange revealed that the shares of Guinness Nigeria Plc surged by 9.89% or N2.7 to close higher at N30.00 per share.

This bullish move in the shares of Guinness has seen the market capitalization of the brewer increase by more than N5 billion on the exchange today, from N59.8 billion at market open to N65.7 billion at the close of market on March 26.

About 12,564,540 ordinary shares of Guinness Nigeria Plc worth about N372 million, were exchanged in 45 deals executed on the exchange on March 26, with the market price of Guinness shares closing at N30 per share, 9.89% higher than the closing figure on ...More info on site


Brewery news World: Corona launches beer pack made using barley
Corona has launched a new, circular form of packaging for six-packs harnessing surplus barley straw to create a sustainable paper packaging solution, the PackagingNews reported on March 22.

Corona is the first global brand to leverage technology and processes three years in development by AB InBev’s Global Innovation and Technology Center (GITEC). The company said the ground-breaking technology reimagines how to use barley, giving the essential beer ingredient new life as a sustainable packaging solution.

Barley seed will continue to make the beer but barley straw, a leftover from farmers’ harvests, will now be used through a unique pulping process built to handle its relative fragility.

Combined with 100% recycled wood fibres, this process creates a paper board to produce new packaging that is as strong and durable as a regular six-pack, but better for the planet – able to carry six cold beer bottles from the store fridge to the beach, but using far fewer resources along the way.

Turning barley straw into paper fibre uses 90% less water in its production than the traditional virgin wood process, along with less energy and fewer harsh chemicals. Using leftover barley straw is also far more productive than the equivalent area of woodland, and Corona ...More info on site


Brewery news Australia: Coopers Ultra Light beer enjoys decade of steady growth
As the low/no alcoholic beer sector continues to lead the low/no-drinks category in Australia, Coopers Ultra Light has spearheaded the sector, enjoying over a decade of steady growth, the Beer & Brewer reported on March 25.

Australia’s largest family-owned brewery, Coopers, has been producing Coopers Ultra Light for over 30 years which has all the hallmarks of a premium beer, with the difference of containing just 0.5% alcohol volume, putting it in the non alc beer category.

The IWSR reported earlier this year that beer and cider hold a 92% share of the total low/no alcohol segment, also stating that the consumption of low/no alcoholic beverages will increase 31% by 2024.

“While competition has increased in the non-alcoholic beer market, our portfolio continues to increase its growth,” said Coopers General Manager Michael Shearer. “Sales of our non-alcoholic beer portfolio climbed 5.8% over 2020, on top of nine years of solid double-digit volume growth.”
