Brewery news USA: Modelo surpasses Bud Light in US ranking amidst non-alcoholic trend
As Americans raise their glasses to celebrate National Beer Day this year, there’s a notable shift in the beer hierarchy. Modelo has officially overtaken Bud Light as the nation’s preferred beer, marking a significant change in consumer tastes. This trend is not just about the rise of a brand but also reflects a broader movement towards non-alcoholic (NA) brews, which are gaining traction across the country, New York Post Gazette reported on April 7.

The ascent of Modelo is a testament to the evolving palate of American beer drinkers, who are increasingly reaching for this Mexican import. The brand’s success can be attributed to its robust flavor profile that resonates well with consumers looking for a fuller-bodied lager. Meanwhile, Bud Light, once the undisputed king of American beers, has seen its reign challenged by this changing market dynamic.

The surge in non-alcoholic beer options is another fascinating development, as health-conscious consumers seek out alternatives that allow them to enjoy the social aspects of beer drinking without the alcohol content. This shift is not just a fad but a reflection of a growing health and wellness trend that prioritizes responsible consumption without compromising on taste.

As we observe National Beer Day, it’s clear that ...More info on site


Brewery news Vietnam: Additional tax can erode Vietnamese beverage makers’ competitive advantages
Vice chairman of the Vietnam Association of Financial Investors (VAFI) Nguyen Hoang Hai said that paying additional tax will erode Vietnamese beverage makers’ competitive advantages, VietNamNet reported on April 8.

A draft proposal to increase special consumption tax on alcoholic beverages may hurt Vietnam beverage industry's ability to compete on their home turf, putting the entire supply chain at risk, said industry insiders.

Lam Du An, deputy director-general of the Saigon Beer-Alcohol-Beverage Corporation (SABECO), said since 2021, the company's revenue has decreased by 10-15 per cent compared to 2019. The company reported a 7 per cent decrease in revenue in 2022 and an 11 per cent decrease in revenue in 2023, with a pre-tax profit decrease of 23 per cent.

An said: "Input costs and raw materials including prices for hops, cans and bottle caps, various auxiliary materials, and transportations, among others, have increased significantly. Producers are facing input cost increases of 20 per cent-40 per cent while consumption demand has been in sharp decline and prices cannot be increased further."

Dau Anh Tuan, vice chairman of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) and head of the chamber's Legal Department said that the industry has been struggling to recover from the COVID-19 ...More info on site


Brewery news UK: Stout consumption up 23% between 2021 and 2022
Stout, sometimes thought of as the drink of older men in pubs, is finding a diverse audience – and it’s not just Guinness that’s boosting sales, The Guardian reported on April 4.

The beer, part of the ale family and usually a very dark colour, is attracting a range of consumers, including young women, drawn in by new flavours and lower alcohol options.

The consumption of stout globally, by volume, increased by 11% between 2021 and 2022, according to drinks market analysts IWSR. In the UK the growth over that period was 23%, making it one of the largest stout volume markets globally alongside Nigeria, the US and Ireland.

Roisin Vulcheva, head of beer insights at IWSR, said: “A lot of growth in stout is coming from Europe, and momentum is especially being driven by an expanding consumer base. People also show interest in 0% varieties. Innovation is also being seen in the on-premise with stout served on draught.”

Waitrose said stout sales had increased by 29% compared with the same time last year. It also noted a higher split of women buying the beer: 61.3% of the volume was bought by women and 37.5% by men.

Tesco said stout had become so popular it ...More info on site


Brewery news Nigeria: Nigerian Breweries announce yet another price hike
In what seems to have become a monthly ritual, the Nigerian Breweries Plc has once again announced a hike in the prices of its products that would take effect from April 9, 2024, after it had made similar announcements in February and March 2024, This Day Live reported on April 7.

A price review notification the Nigerian Breweries issued on April 5 to all direct customers in its west zone notified them “of the price review for some of our SKU’s, which takes effect from Tuesday, April 9, 2024.”

The notification, which was signed by its Zonal Business Manager-West, Mr. ‘Lekan Awosanya, also said that “all open orders in our system at 00.00 hours on April 9, 2024, will be invoiced at the new prices.

“For further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact your regional business manager.”

The latest price review would affect 45 products that are manufactured by the company and also cut across its alcoholic and nonalcoholic products such as beer, malted, and other drinks.

The affected brands included Export, Goldberg, Gulder, Heineken, Life, More Lager, Star, Star Lite, Star Radler, and Tiger beers. Others are Amstel Malta, Maltina, Hi Malt Fayrouz products, etc.

Brewery news Kenya: Keroche Breweries risk losing licence
Keroche Breweries, associated with Nakuru Senator Tabitha Karanja, and London Distillers are among 24 alcohol manufacturers that could lose their licences in 21 days if they do not comply with the government’s listed guidelines to continue operating, Business Daily reported on April 5.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Prof Kithure Kindiki said through a statement on April 5 that only three manufacturers and distillers of second-generation alcohol out of 29 have been allowed to resume production, subject to meeting specific requirements outlined to each of them.

The three are Kenya Wine Agencies Limited (KWAL), Savanna Brands Company Limited, and Patiala Distillers Kenya Limited.

For KWAL, the CS said that verification and approval of the model of the transmitter for offloading and dispatch flowmeters was approved, and for Savanna Brands Company Limited, the vetting agencies were certified with their production of valid calibration certificates of GC machine and services done on them; and payment of the standards levy.

Only two out of 29 distillers and manufacturers of second-generation alcohol have passed the vetting by a multi-agency team and are allowed to continue with production.

The two companies include Kenya Nut Company Limited, and UDV.

Prof Kindiki said that 24 firms risk having their licences cancelled if they do not ...More info on site


Brewery news Ukraine: Ukrainian brewers fight to establish identity with new style of beer
In the months following Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, US businesses were eager to show support for the besieged nation by flying flags of blue and gold. Few industries were more enthusiastic than craft beer. The bright hues were emblazoned on tap handles, and beers named Brew for Ukraine, Resist and Putin Huylo (a Ukrainian insult) were brewed to raise awareness of the war and relief funds for its victims. Some brewmasters even produced the native Ukrainian golden ale, Bloomberg reported on April 6.

But when drinkers curious to learn more about this hazy, malt-forward wheat ale looked to enthusiast site Untappd, the US-based Brewer’s Association or even the international Beer Judge Certification Program, they found something odd: Ukrainian golden ale didn’t officially exist.

Lana Svitankova, 41, has spent the past three years working to change this. A beer writer and Ukraine’s first certified cicerone (beer sommelier), she has been working with Ukrainian brewers and industry professionals in the US, the UK and the rest of Europe to gain worldwide recognition for Ukrainian golden ale. As her homeland endures a third year of conflict, the effort to establish a Ukrainian brewing identity has taken on fresh meaning and momentum.

Svitankova understands the ...More info on site


Brewery news China & USA: China’s Tsingtao 0.0 Non-Alcoholic Beer becomes available in the US
China’s Tsingtao 0.0 Non-Alcoholic Beer has joined the burgeoning zero-alcohol beer category in the US to broaden the reach of the brand, The Drinks Business reported on April 8.

Imported by Paulaner USA, the non-alcoholic variant of the beer brand is being positioned to complement the popular Tsingtao Premium Lager in a bid to attract more health-conscious consumers due to each bottle containing just 63 calories.

Speaking about the launch, Paulaner USA president and CEO Steve Hauser said: “With the launch of Tsingtao 0.0, we are tapping into consumers who are reaching for non-alcoholic drinks in their bid to lower their caloric intake. Tsingtao 0.0 provides a great tasting experience, and we’re confident that consumers will enjoy it.”

Tsingtao has experienced “tremendous” growth in the US over the past two years, according to Hauser and the 0.0 beer “provides a citrus flavour with slight malty notes at the back end of the taste experience and is perfect for a variety of beer drinking occasions”.

Tsingtao 0.0 has been brewed and fermented with a “gentle alcohol removal and blending process” to create a beer that is “no more than 0.03% ABV”.

Established in 1903, the Tsingtao Brewery has grown to become the sixth largest brewer globally ...More info on site
