Brewery news Vietnam: Vietnam’s craft beer industry growing both in size and reputation
Across Districts 1, 2, and 3 of Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City, it’s easy to find craft beer breweries with operational capacities comparable to those in Western countries, the Vietnam Briefing reported on November 2.

Some 30 brewers have set up in Vietnam, welcoming a healthy flow of customers both pre and post-pandemic.

Vietnam is also home to the headquarters of award-winning brewer, Pasteur Street Brewing Company, with its reputed Marou cocoa pod-infused Cyclo Stout listed a must-try by Life and Travel Asia.

Indeed, Vietnam’s craft beer industry is growing not only in size but also reputation.

Vietnam’s beer consumption as of 2022 was 2.2 percent of the global market, at 3.8 million kilolitres of beer annually. This has made it the leader in the ASEAN region for beer consumption.

Key players dominating the market include both domestic and international brands like Heineken, Carlsberg, Sapporo Breweries, Hanoi Beer Alcohol and Beverage Corp. (Habeco), and Saigon Alcohol Beer and Beverage Corp. (Sabeco).

That is not to say there isn’t room for more made-in-Vietnam craft beers.

On the contrary, the Vietnamese craft beer market is not only booming but also injecting the industry with its own special taste of home.

Brewery news Mexico: Bottler and retailer Femsa posts drop in third-quarter net profit
Mexican bottler and retailer Femsa posted a drop in third-quarter net profit on October 28 to 10.75 billion pesos ($534.10 million), down 23.8% from a year ago as operating costs jumped, Yahoo Finance reported.

Quarterly revenue rose 20.5% year-on-year to 171.66 billion pesos ($8.66 billion), driven by increased sales across markets and beating the Refinitiv consensus of 163.17 billion pesos.

Operating costs rose in almost all of Femsa's divisions, including a 69.4% jump in its logistics and distribution business on increased transportation and labor costs.

Femsa said the rise in operating costs in its convenience store and fuel divisions was below the increase in revenue, which along with a drop in costs for its health division reflected "tight expense control."

Earnings from companies in which Femsa has controlling stakes, including Dutch beer maker Heineken, also took a hit in the quarter, Femsa said.

Heineken's beer volumes for the quarter were less than expected, showing signs of a slowdown in demand from some European markets.

Femsa's core earnings, or EBITDA, for the quarter rose 14.4% to 23.20 billion pesos.

Analysts at Mexican brokerage Monex said Femsa's results were "favorable" on the back of the bump in revenue and EBITDA and in line with estimates.

Monex said it would be ...More info on site


Brewery news India: United Breweries planning R350 crore capex
Beer maker United Breweries Ltd, controlled by Dutch multinational brewing company Heineken, plans to infuse around ₹350 crore as capital expenditure in 2023 to meet the expected volume growth in the country, according to a top company official, The Economic Times reported on October 30.

The company has "good capex plans" in place for its breweries to meet anticipated volume growth going into 2023, said its Chief Financial Officer Radovan Sikorsky in its latest earning conference call.

"We remain optimistic on the long-term growth of the industry," he said adding the evolving consumer trends will drive premiumisation.

When asked about the Capex plan, the CFO replied: "For the coming January to December the capex spend we are looking at somewhere in the region of ₹350 crore."

Moreover, the leading beer maker expects inflationary pressure to continue and it would pursue price increases, in combination with cost measures, to mitigate these cost impacts.


Brewery news China: Chongqing Brewery records dramatic growth in nine-month sales volume and operating revenue
Chongqing Brewery Company, a brewery whose headquarters is in Chongqing, Southwest China, recorded dramatic growth both in sales volume and operating revenue in the first three quarters of this year, the China Daily reported on October 28.

The company's sales volume grew 4.54 percent year-on-year to 2.53 million kilolitres in the last nine months, while its operating revenue increased 8.91 percent year-on-year to 12.2 billion yuan ($1.69 billion), according to the company's report, which was released on October 27 in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province.

"High-end products played an important role in boosting sales," said Lee Chee Kong, president of Chongqing Brewery Company.

According to the company's financial report, main business income of high-end products, usually referring to those of 10 yuan or above per bottle, increased by 8.71 percent year-on-year in the first three quarters.

The Chongqing brewer has become the only platform operating Carlsberg brewery's business in China, after it completed the major asset restructuring with Carlsberg China in December 2020.

Based on local and international brand combination, the Chongqing brewer has been able to meet Chinese consumers' needs for higher quality beer in different scenarios, according to Lee.

"Expansion of local brands and dramatic increase of imported high-end brands from Carlsberg has ...More info on site


Brewery news Thailand: Thailand to ease entry barriers for liquor, beer producers
Thailand’s government approved on November 1 a draft ministerial regulation to loosen curbs on liquor production by small-scale distillers, the Bangkok Post reported.

The Finance Ministry’s proposal aimed at amending the Excise Tax Act (2017) and improving the criteria for liquor production and licence applications, government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri said.

Under the new regulation, the minimum registered capital for producers of fermented beverages, including beer and wine, will be lifted. However, they must be companies registered under Thai law and Thai nationals must acquire at least 51% of the shares. The minimum registered capital requirement is currently 10 million baht.

The new regulation will scrap the minimum beer production of 100,000 litres per year. However, the minimum production capacities for whisky, brandy and gin at 30,000 litres a day and for rice whisky at 90,000 litres a day will remain the same.

People will also be able to apply for production licences online.

"This is to promote competition in the business while the state's interest through its excise tax collection and the product quality and safety standards will remain unchanged," Mr Anucha said.

Dubbed the “progressive liquor bill”, it passed its first reading in parliament in June, and is now being scrutinised by a ...More info on site


Brewery news Kenya: Investors sell Sh285.8 mln worth of EABL shares since Diageo’s offer to raise stake in beer maker
Investors have sold Sh285.8 million worth of East African Breweries Plc (EABL) shares in profit-taking trades since Diageo Plc made an offer to raise its stake in the Nairobi Securities Exchange-listed firm at a price of Sh192 per share, the Business Daily Africa reported on October 31.

The multinational announced on October 14 that it will buy an additional 118.3 million shares in EABL through a tender offer.

The move has lifted the brewer’s share price and created an opportunity for some investors to sell their holdings at a profit ahead of Diageo’s purchases which will occur over 40 days starting January 30, 2023.

EABL’s share price gained 23.1 percent on the day of the material announcement compared to the previous closing of Sh138. It has declined slightly to the October 28th’s price of Sh167.25. The share price has traded below Sh150 on most days since the start of the year, underlining the premium of Diageo’s offer and its impact on lifting the stock since the announcement.

Market data shows that investors have sold a total of 1.68 million EABL shares since October 14, cashing out Sh285.8 million collectively.

The bulk of the sales, Sh209.9 million, were recorded in the first three days of the ...More info on site


Brewery news UK: Beer delivery drivers suspend plans to take strike action
About 1,000 British beer delivery drivers have suspended plans to take strike action at the end of this month after receiving a better pay offer from logistics company GXO, the Unite union said on October 27.

"Following a significantly improved pay offer from GXO the strike action planned for next week has been suspended as an act of good faith," Unite national officer for food, drink and agriculture Joe Clarke said.

GXO drivers make around 40% of UK beer deliveries.

The strikes, originally planned from Oct. 31 and Nov. 4, would have impacted beer supplies to pubs and venues supplied by major breweries, including Heineken, Stonegate, Admiral Taverns and Shepherd Neame, Unite had said.

GXO said it was pleased with the union's decision.

"We are committed to ensuring our employees benefit from competitive pay and benefits, and an inclusive, collaborative culture that rewards performance," a spokesperson for the New York-listed company said.

Barley news Ukraine: Grain exports fall to 4.22 mln tonnes in October
Ukraine's grain exports fell to 4.22 million tonnes in October 2022 from 5.05 million tonnes in the same month of the previous year, the agriculture ministry said on October 31.

The ministry said this month's volume included 1.9 million tonnes of wheat, almost 2 million tonnes of corn and 313,000 tonnes of barley.

It said Ukraine had exported a total of 12.9 million tonnes of grain so far in the July 2022 to June 2023 season versus 19.4 million tonnes in the same period of 2021/22.


Barley news Russia & Ukraine: Russia agrees to re-join Ukraine grain exports deal
Grain shipments from Ukraine will resume on November 2 after Russia agreed to re-join a UN-backed initiative to allow exports via the Black Sea, ending a stand-off that threatened to reignite a global food crisis, The Financial Times reported.

Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Sergei Shoigu, the Russian defence minister, had phoned his Turkish counterpart to say Moscow was back on board.

Addressing his security council on November 2, Russian president Vladimir Putin said Russia would continue to supply “the volume of grain that was supplied from Ukraine to the poorest countries” even if the latest agreement collapsed. Many Middle East and African countries have been sympathetic to Moscow’s arguments that sanctions — rather than the invasion of its neighbour Ukraine — are the main obstacle to grain exports.

The next shipments of grain would head to Somalia, Djibouti and Sudan, Erdoğan said. The Turkish leader, who has maintained close ties with Putin since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion in February, helped broker the original grain deal in July.

Russia quit the pact on October 29, accusing Kyiv of targeting its naval fleet in the Black Sea following claims of a Ukrainian drone attack on its warships. Moscow’s withdrawal threatened a rare example ...More info on site



WhiskyWhisky News Whisky


Whisky news Romania: The first locally-produced single malt whisky launched in Romania
Carpathian Single Malt, the first single malt whisky produced in Romania, was launched on the Romanian market on October 27 through a large-scale event held in Bucharest. The whisky made by Alexandrion Group can currently be purchased online only, but the company said that several offline options would also be available starting mid-November, the Romania Insider reported.

Allan Anderson is the master distiller of Carpathian Single Malt. He has 30 years of experience both in the production of Scotch whisky (Loch Lomond, Whyte & Mackay, Aberargie) and Irish whisky (The Great Northern Distillery), and he also designed the Slane Castle distillery in Ireland.

“Five years ago, we started the journey on a road no one else dared to explore before. I had no fears because I knew what extraordinary natural resources Romania has, and I knew that I was surrounded by a strong, competent team, people capable of helping me turn into reality my dream of putting Romania on the map of single malt whisky producers. Also, the experience and energy of master distiller Allan Anderson, who coordinated the production process, were essential for the success of this product,” said Dr. Nawaf Salameh, Founding Chairman of Alexandrion Group.

“And the feedback from whisky ...More info on site
