Brewery news Hungary: Beer makers facing soaring raw ingredients and energy costs
Problems are brewing for Hungary's beer makers. The cost of raw ingredients has doubled, and that, along with rising energy costs, is driving up prices for drinkers, Europe – CGTN reported on March 18.

Zoltan Reketye, a pioneer of Hungary's craft beer industry, says he has to pay more to make his brews.

In 2014, he founded the country's first specialist micro-brewery, which now pumps out nearly a quarter of a million litres a year.

"Raw material prices for the barley doubled; energy prices went up anywhere from 300 to 1,000 percent," said Reketye, owner of Reketye Brewing Company.

The cost of ingredients has been soaring - and that's seriously drained their profits.

A key reason for the rising cost of barley and other grains is the recent wave of severe droughts in Europe.

The energy crisis has also taken a toll on brewers. But that's not all; even the cost of bottling beer has increased.

Just four companies are responsible for most of Europe's glass production, and one of them has factories in Ukraine that have been affected by the fighting. There's even a shortage of aluminum to make beer cans.

"It doesn't really matter how much you end up paying for cans; you can't get them ...More info on site


Brewery news UK: SIBA publishes sustainability strategy
A new sustainability strategy has been published by the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA) to help independent breweries meet the ambitious government net zero targets, Beer Today reported on March 19.

Launched at brewing industry trade event BeerX, Brewing Our Way to Net Zero includes a consultation with breweries, suppliers, and others across the UK before being implemented.

This comes as the latest 2023 YouGov Craft Report consumer poll shows almost half of consumers (48%) believe that sustainability credentials of a brewer is an important factor when choosing a beer. For female consumers this increases to 52%, with 55% of younger consumers saying it is important.

In his introduction to the report, Andy Slee, SIBA’s chief executive, highlights the fact that brewers already take many positive measures to lessen their environmental impact. But more still needs to be done.

“In many respects, small independent breweries lead the way in sustainability,” he says. “Their core product is locally produced beer, 66% of which is packaged into reusable containers and sold to community pubs, predominantly within a 40-mile radius of the brewery.

“There are also many breweries who have placed environmentalism front and centre of what they do, with astonishing results. Water usage down ...More info on site

Barley news Australia: Buff barley variety gets malting accreditation from Grains Australia
Grains Australia has accredited Buff following its submission by Western Australian-based seed company InterGrain for evaluation, Grain Central reported on March 20.

Buff barley is a quick-maturing, acid soil-tolerant and high-fermentability variety, and is intended to be grown in the lower-rainfall districts of WA’s northern and central grain-growing zones, and south-western New South Wales.

It has been grown for some years with success, but deliverable only into feed segregations ahead of its accreditation, which makes it eligible for delivery into malting segregations from the 2023-24 harvest.

Buff is being marketed as an alternative to wheat for acidic and sandy soils, and boasts higher yield and improved disease resistance when compared with the previous acid-tolerant barley, Litmus.

Buff has consistently demonstrated a yield advantage over Litmus in acidic and sandy environments, where pH is below 5.5, and a significant yield advantage in neutral soil types.

Based on 2018-22 National Variety Trial MET yield results, Buff offers an 8-10 percent yield improvement over Litmus.

InterGrain chief executive officer Tress Walmsley said Buff offered growers of barley on challenging acidic and sandy soils the possibility of increased profitability with potential malt premiums.

“The Buff malt success story reflects the hard work of InterGrain’s team, including breeder David Moody…plus growers who ...More info on site

Hops news Canada, QC: Yakima Chief Hops opening distribution warehouse in Brossard
Yakima Chief Hops (YCH) is opening a distribution warehouse in Brossard, Quebec on the south shore of Montreal in the summer of 2023. The new facility will hold over one thousand pallets of hops, create four new jobs, and make YCH the largest hop supplier in Canada, the company said in a press release.

“This is a huge turning point for the whole Canadian brewing industry. I’m excited for our brewers. Long-term customers have been asking for this, now all current and future customers will be able to get the best quality hops on the market at a great price, in a timely manner” says Luc Beaulieu, Director of Sales Canada.

All YCH brands, including Cryo™, extracts, and NZ Hops, will be available to pick up or ship from the new facility. The premium hop hub will be poised to serve Quebec, Ontario, all the Maritime provinces, and Manitoba.

Onsite construction will begin in April, adding refrigeration systems for exceptional cold storage ability. In September, the space will be fully operational, and as harvest gets underway, 2023 crop-year hops will be available for shipment.

Whisky news South Africa: Heineken’s takeover of Distell passes final regulatory hurdle
Heineken’s bid to take control of Distell Group Holdings Limited (Distell) has passed its final regulatory hurdle, with South African Competition Tribunal approving the Dutch brewer’s offer, The Shout reported on March 20.

After previous approvals from the Namibia Competition Commission, the Common Market of Eastern & Southern Africa and all other relevant jurisdictions, the way is now paved for the creation of a regional African beverage champion.

In November 2021, Heineken announced its intention to acquire control of Distell and Namibia Breweries Limited, which were to be combined with Heineken South Africa (HSA) into a new Heineken majority-owned business (Newco).

Heineken CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board Dolf van den Brink said: “We are delighted the Competition Tribunal has approved the deal. We are very excited to bring together three strong businesses to create a regional beverage champion, with a unique multi-category offer to better serve consumers, customers and create shared societal value across Southern Africa.

“We are committed to being a strong partner for growth and making a positive impact in the communities in which we operate, and the proactive and comprehensive public interest package we’ve put forward is testament to that.”
