Brewery news India: United Breweries challenges Competition Commission of India’s penalty before appellate tribunal NCLAT
Beer maker United Breweries Ltd (UBL) has approached the appellate tribunal NCLAT against Rs 751.8 crore penalty imposed on the company by the fair trade regulator CCI, The Economic Times reported on December 8.

The Competition Commission of India on September 24, 2021, imposed a fine of Rs 751.8 crore for alleged cartelisation in the sale and supply of beer.

"The company has now filed an appeal before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) against the CCI order dated September 24, 2021," said UBL in a regulatory update.

The NCLAT is the appellate authority over the CCI. It hears appeals against any direction issued or decision made or order passed by CCI.

Earlier in October, UBL, which is now controlled by Dutch-based multinational Heineken, had said it was in process of preparing the grounds of the appeal, which was expected to be filed within two months from the date of order.

On the basis of the legal advise "the company believes that it has a strong case on merits for successful appeal on this matter", UBL had said on October 27, in post earning statement for July-September quarter.

Earlier this year, Heineken had acquired additional ordinary shares in UBL on June 23 taking its shareholding ...More info on site


Brewery news Poland: Parliament mulling yet another increase in excise duty on beer
Just a few days after the adoption of the act increasing the excise duty on beer by 10 percent from the new year and by another 28 percent over the next five years, Poland’s MPs began work on another project assuming an increase in excise duty on sweetened flavored beers, the Spark Chronicles reported on December 10.

According to industry representatives, it will lead to an increase in beer prices and a further decline in its consumption. And this will impact not only breweries, mainly smaller ones, but also farmers and small shops that live off selling beer.

“Last year we were surprised by the pandemic, which caused a few percent of the market decline. This year, despite the fact that we were counting on a rebound, we faced an even deeper decline. We have lower sales than last year – the decline is over 5 percent compared to 2020. Beer consumption in Poland is at the lowest levels in the last 10 years: over 3.5 million hectolitres of beer disappeared from the market in three years,” said Bartłomiej Morzycki, general director of the Union of Brewing Industry Employers – Polish Breweries.

“This year the brewing industry was surprised by a sudden ...More info on site


Brewery news Myanmar & Japan: Dispute between Kirin and military-backed Myanmar company to be settled based on law – investment minister
Aung Naing Oo, Myanmar's investment and foreign economic relations minister, says a dispute between Japanese brewer Kirin Holdings and a company backed by the Myanmar military will be settled based on the law, The Nikkei Asia reported on December 10.

Everything will "go along with the laws," and the government is monitoring the progress of the issue between the two parties, the minister told Nikkei and other media outlets in an online news conference on December 7. Maung Maung Ohn, Myanmar's information minister, also took part in the interview. Both ministers were appointed by the military after it seized power from the civilian-led government in February.

"We are encouraging both parties to settle this issue amicably, but if that does not happen, that will be [settled], according to the law," Aung Naing Oo said.

At issue is the fate of Myanmar Brewery, which is jointly operated by Kirin and Myanmar Economic Holdings (MEHL). Kirin decided to unwind the partnership after the Myanmar military took control of the country in February. The joint venture is owned 51% by Kirin, while MEHL holds the rest.

Kirin asked MEHL to sell its stake, but negotiations between the two have gone nowhere. MEHL filed a request with a ...More info on site


Brewery news Belgium: Belgian nuns start brewing beer
When the nuns of Maredret Abbey in Belgium were struggling to scrape together the funds for badly needed renovation works, they turned to an occupation that for hundreds of years had been the preserve of monks: beer-brewing, Reuters reported on December 10.

The 20-strong Benedictine community, founded in 1893, decided about five years ago it was time to team up with a brewer with the aim of to producing beer infused with some of their history and values while helping repair their convent's leaking roofs and cracked walls.

After nearly three years of collaboration with brewer and importer John Martin, Maredret Altus, a 6.8% amber beer using cloves and juniper berries, and Maredret Triplus, an 8% blond incorporating coriander and sage, went on sale in summer.

"It's good for one's health. It aids digestion. All the sisters like the beer, we are in Belgium after all," said Sister Gertrude, adding the nuns allowed themselves one bottle each on Sundays.

The beers are based on spelt, a grain mentioned in texts by Saint Hildegard, a German Benedictine abbess from the 11th century who has inspired the Belgian order, along with plants commonly grown in the nuns' garden.

Edward Martin, head distiller and great-grandson of the brewer's ...More info on site


Brewery news Australia: Largest beer manufacturers rationing most popular canned beer in lead-up to Christmas
One of Australia’s largest beer manufacturers has been rationing its most popular canned beer in the lead-up to Christmas, amid supply chain issues due to the Covid-19 pandemic, The Guardian reported on December 10.

Shortages of wooden pallets and aluminium respectively have hit Australia’s two beer giants, Lion and Carlton & United Breweries (CUB).

But people craving a cold one on Christmas Day shouldn’t panic, with the industry pouring cold water on talk of major shortages over summer.

CUB says while it is not facing shortages of kegs or its Australian-brewed stubbies or cans, the company recently had to limit the sale of some items due to aluminium shortages.

“To be clear, we are not facing shortages of VB, Carlton Draught, Great Northern, Carlton Dry, or Pure Blonde,” sales director Peter Bingeman said in a statement to Guardian Australia.

“Recently we had limited the sale of our most popular canned beer for a short time due to aluminium shortages, but those shortages have been successfully managed.”

Purchase limits introduced on various CUB products at alcohol retailer BWS are anticipated to be lifted by the middle of next week.

Bingeman said there were international supply chain issues for the Mexican beer Corona, which is imported by CUB.

“However, we ...More info on site
