Belgium: Haacht brewery turns a loss in 2023
|
The Haacht brewery turned a loss last year, partly due to declining beer sales in bars and restaurants, which resulted in there being no dividend for shareholders, according to parent company Co.Br.Ha.
The brewer, maker of beers such as Primus, Tongerlo, Super 8 and Charles Quint, suffered a net loss of €4.4 million in 2023. This marked a significant downturn from the previous year’s profit of €4.8 million.
The company attributes a decrease of 4.7% in beverage sales (4.4% for its own beers) and cost increases exceeding 15% to its poor financial performance.
"Rising prices for raw materials, energy costs and indexation of operating costs in 2023 were only partially offset by price increases and improved sales in the non-beer segment," Co.Br.Ha explained.
In Belgium, consumption of the brewery’s beers fell by 5.5% compared to 2022: decreasing 6% in the hospitality industry and 5% in shops. However, the company’s turnover did increase last year by 5.9%, totalling €118.9 million.
Restorative measures have been implemented to restore profitability, the brewery’s parent company confirmed. It anticipates improved margins due to falling raw material and energy prices, and a reduction in investments for 2024.
However, the brewer warns that the market conditions remain “particularly uncertain and challenging”.

UK: Molson Coors to spend £100 mln in improvements across its UK brewing network
|
Molson Coors plans to spend £100 mln over the next five years in improvements across its UK brewing network, The Grocer reported on April 10.
The Carling brewer said it had earmarked the £100m figure to “improve capabilities and introduce greater efficiencies across its entire UK network” as well as to help hit net zero for its scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2035.
The programme of improvements kicked off in November last year with the installation of a new 24-tonne, 120,000 cans per hour, filler at its Burton brewery.
Molson Coors said the investment was needed to support the growth of brands including Madrí Excepcional – which in less than two years has grown to become the UK’s 12th biggest-selling lager, with sales of £93.3m [NIQ 52 w/e 9 September 2023].
Other improvements include upgrades to the packaging keg lines at Tadcaster Brewery and Aspall Cyder House.
Sharp’s Brewery in Cornwall, meanwhile, would also receive investment to “support new and existing cask ale brands” including Doom Bar, Solar Wave Hazy and Twin Coast, Molson Coors said.
“As a business, we have continued to invest in the UK throughout the challenges caused by the pandemic,” said Fraser Thomson, Molson Coors’ chief supply chain officer for Western

Cyprus: Beer deliveries up 10% in March this year

Beer deliveries in Cyprus rose by an annual 10% in March 2024, with the annual rise driven by domestic deliveries, Stockwatch reported on April 9.
According to data released by the Statistical Service of Cyprus (CyStat), total beer deliveries in March amounted to 3.43 million litres, compared with 2.95 million in the respective period of last year.
Deliveries for the local market amounted to 3.3 million, marking an annual increase of 11.5%, CyStat added.
Beer exports declined by an annual 18% to 0.14 million litres compared with 0.17 million in March 2023.

Germany: Homebrewers no longer need to report production to customs or pay tax on their brews
|
Homebrewers in Germany will no longer need to report their yearly production to customs or pay tax on brews, even if more than 200 litres, The Drinks Business reported on April 9.
The decision, which came into force as Olaf Scholz’s government announced cuts to unnecessary bureaucracy, was reported in the Telegraph and will see an end to the taxes for any hobby brewers.
Until now, home brewers had needed to report their yearly production to customs and were subject to tax if they brewed more than 200 litres. But according to the German finance ministry, the take from this tax, said to be €11,000 (£9,400), does not justify the administrative effort and so will be scrapped.
In future, the reports outlined that homebrewers will only need to declare their hobby if they bottle 500 litres a year and, while experimental homebrewing has taken off in Germany, this is good news for many who have been dabbling with producing their own beers.
According to reports, the amount of homebrewers now in Germany has trebled in the past decade and now there are about 10,000 homebrewers registered with German customs.
Germany’s commercial beer production, which is ensured through the Reinheitsgebot, or beer purity rule, that limits

Australia: Winter crop sowing under way amid mixed conditions
|
Sowing of Australia’s 2024-25 winter crop is under way in all states of Australia amid mixed conditions, Grain Central reported on April 10.
Very early indications are that only 3 percent of the national area has been planted to date, and most of that is grazing crops like oats and vetch, plus some early canola.
Growers generally like to open their main-season planting on April 25, Anzac Day, but agronomists say those who have just had rain, or are happy to sow dry, are making an early start.
Australian Crop Forecasters has released its preliminary estimates for the crop now being planted, and puts national wheat area at 13.6 million hectares (Mha), up from last year, barley at 4.4Mha, up 3pc, and canola at 3.2Mha, down 4pc.
“It’s very dry in Western Australia, where they’ve already started dry seeding at a slow pace,” ACF senior insights manager James Maxwell said.
“There’s a chance not all will be planted, and there will possibly be further downside for canola.”
The Grain Industry Association of WA will release its initial forecast for planted area next week, and while dry conditions in WA are not unusual ahead of the autumn break, the impact of a brutally hot and dry summer

Australia: February barley, sorghum exports plummet
|
Australia exported 498,382 tonnes of barley and 55,755t of sorghum in February, according to the latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Feed barley exports at 379,875t fell 38 percent from the 609,217t shipped in January, while malting barley exports at 118,507t were down 63pc from the 316,041t shipped in January.
Sorghum shipments at 55,755t also posted a big drop, down 51pc from the 114,661t exported in January.
China was the major destination for feed barley, taking 272,082t, or 72pc, of total shipments, followed by Japan on 100,296t, and Thailand on 2172t.
China on 111,159t was also the destination for the vast majority of malting barley exports, followed by Singapore on 4703t and Thailand on 1113t.
Japan on 24,603t was the largest destination for February-shipped sorghum, followed closely by China on 24,163t and Taiwan on 4921t.
Flexi Grain pool manager Sam Roache said the drop in barley volume shipped in February has come as no surprise.
“That’s per expectations, and was largely due to the Chinese New Year holiday which interrupts logistics for an extended period,” Mr Roache said.
ABS figures for the month were around 40pc higher than shipping stem expectations, with Victorian exports outperforming significantly, and South Australia lagging.

Australia & EU: Australian malting barley cargo heads to EU to help store-up near-term supplies
|
A Panamax of Australian malting barley is on its way to Rotterdam to help shore up near-term supplies ahead of what is expected to be a late start to Europe’s own harvest, Grain Central reported on April 11.
Weighing in at 60,000 tonnes, the cargo loaded in Port Kembla and Geelong.
RGT Planet, a French variety favoured by maltsters globally, is believed to have filled most or all of the hatches.
Trade sources say the competitiveness of Australian pricing, and the quality of grain from a kind harvest in terms of malting quality have made Australian barley stack up for the EU buyer.
“The underlying aspect is that malthouses around the port can price offshore grain from outside the EU at quite competitive prices,” Kardinia Group Consulting principal Terry Perryman said.
“I think there’s an interest to look outside of Europe from a risk point of view, and the progressive maltster has a concern about the traditional supply chain with climate change.”
Heavy rain since autumn has made this season a tough one for barley in parts of the EU, which produces around one third of the global crop.
“The story I keep hearing is that it’s too wet for their spring crops.”

USA: Diageo receives $75 mln grant to decarbonise operations at its two North America facilities
|
The US Department of Energy’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations has awarded up to $75 million to decarbonise operations at two Diageo North America facilities, FoodBev.com reported on April 1.
The funds will support the electrification of its production sites in Shelbyville, Kentucky and Plainfield, Illinois – with the aim of making both facilities carbon neutral by 2026 and 2028, respectively.
The deal will see Diageo partner with Rondo Energy to install Rondo’s heat batteries at the production sites, providing low-cost, zero-carbon heat and power and eliminating reliance on natural gas for boilers used in heating processes.
These upgrades would reduce carbon emissions by nearly 17,000 metric tons per year, decarbonising the production facilities for spirits, RTD cocktails and Bulleit whiskey.
The US Department of Energy believes that the facility upgrades will provide a ‘highly replicable blueprint’ for how manufacturing facilities can integrate thermal batteries with intermittent renewable energy to achieve direct decarbonisation while reliably delivering a consumer-facing product to market.
Marsha McIntosh-Hamilton, president of North America supply, Diageo North America, said: “Today’s announcement from the Department of Energy marks a milestone for our North American operations and gives us the opportunity to incorporate innovative technologies into our production footprint to make our business more

Japan: Suntory’s exported products compliant with Japan’s new production and labelling standards for whisky
|
Japanese multinational Suntory has announced that all of its exported products are compliant with the country’s new production and labelling standards which officially launched on 1 April, The Drinks Business reported on April 9.
House of Suntory has confirmed that all of its exported Japanese whiskies meet the official designation established by the Japan Spirits & Liqueurs Makers Association (JSLMA).
The new regulations regarding production and labelling have officially been in use since 1 April following a three-year grace period. In 2021, JSLMA announced a new set of standards to curb the spread of products misleadingly labelled as ‘Japanese whisky’. Labelling standards were enacted on 1 April 2021, with a three-year transition period for members of the association to comply.
The action was intended to protect the authenticity of Japanese whisky, a growing category.
While the association is a government-approved organisation, it is not a government agency, and therefore this change in regulations will be internally enforced by the association’s members rather than by any official legislation.
House of Suntory has welcomed the voluntary designation of ‘Japanese whisky’ established by the JSLMA. The multinational has confirmed that all exported Suntory Japanese whisky products are 100% distilled, matured, and bottled in Japan and compliant with the
