World: Olympic deal shows bubbling market for zero-alcohol beer
|
For the first time this summer, as sportswomen and men strive for victory in Paris, spectators will be able to sip the official beer of an Olympic Games, Barron’s reported on April 27.
But the tipple won't go to their heads: it will be the alcohol-free version of the popular Mexican brand Corona.
The breakthrough sponsorship deal, inked by Belgian-Brazilian beer giant AB InBev, is just the latest sign of the fizzing market for zero-alcohol brews.
"All brewers are moving towards alcohol-free or low-alcohol beverages," Krishan Maudgal, director of the Belgian Brewers Association, told AFP.
That's the case even in Belgium, where the centuries-old brewing heritage is recognised by UNESCO and the alcohol percentage in beers made by Trappist monks can reach double digits.
"Twenty or 30 years ago it was more a case of increasing the alcohol content, but now we've reversed the trend and are lowering it," Maudgal said.
Against a backdrop of declining beer consumption -- down by 40 percent in 20 years in Belgium -- he says producers are "listening to the market" and adapting to drinking habits that have become more responsible.
"Among consumers there is a trend in favour of moderation and well-being, this trend is happening everywhere," said Andres Penate,

Nigeria: Champions Breweries suffers N823.8m operating loss between January and February
|
Champions Breweries Plc sustained the losing streak posted in first quarter of last year with a fresh N823.8m operating loss incurred between January and February 2024, The Whistler reported on April 26.
The company which is famous for its beer brand, Champion Beer and Champ Malt saw revenue growth of N4.5bn compared to the N2.6bn recorded in Q1 last year, in a sign of confidence that consumers are back to its products.
However, Nigeria’s third oldest brewery saw its Q1 revenue eroded by the scorching N2.8bn cost of sale, N970.7m selling and distribution expenses and another N602m administrative expenses which amounted to a cumulative N4.42bn.
The brewer’s Q1 financial report analysed by THE WHISTLER shows its net finance cost for the period amounted to N751m against the N18m incurred in 2023 Q1.
Champions Breweries suffered foreign exchange loss and interest on the loan for the three-month period ended 31st March 2024 amounting to N743m as interest rate on borrowings jumped in the period.
The brewer recoded zero finance income from January to March 2024, the books reveal.
Champions Breweries plunged into a negative working capital position last year which widened by N2.95bn after the brewer’s current liability grew to N8.95bn while the current assets grew marginally

South Korea: Competition on beer market heating up as Guinness introduces new non-alcoholic beer in Korea
|
Competition in the domestic non-alcoholic beer market is heating up, with Guinness introducing non-alcoholic beer in Korea for the first time in Asia as the trend of "Hellcy Pleasure" continues, with growing interest in health, mk.co.kr reported on April 29.
According to the industry on the 29th, the domestic non-alcoholic beer market is estimated to be about 60 billion won. Under the current law, if the alcohol content is less than 1%, the expression non-alcoholic or non-alcoholic can be used.
Although the share of non-alcoholic beer in the total beer market, which amounts to about 4 trillion won, is still insignificant, the market's growth is steep considering that it was only 20 billion won in 2021.
The reason why non-alcoholic beer is so popular is because the trend of emphasizing the lifestyle of health and well-being continues. In particular, young female consumers tend to prefer non-alcoholic beverages with low calories and sugar content.
Non-alcoholic alcoholic beverages are showing high growth even when alcohol consumption is already declining overall in Europe. According to market research firm IMARC, Europe's non-alcoholic wine and beer market reached 8.6 billion euros (about 12 trillion won) last year and is expected to grow to 15.4 billion euros (about 22 trillion

UK: Wet winter set to drive beer, bread, and biscuit prices up this year
|
After years of painfully high prices during the cost of living crisis, the cost of purchasing many common foodstuffs could increase later this year. Bread, beer, and biscuit prices look set to rise sharply after a wet winter's impact on crops across the country, according to new analysis by climate experts, Yahoo News reported on April 29.
The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) looked at crop area forecasts from the agriculture industry and Government yield data, finding that production of key crops like wheat, barley, oats, and oilseed rape might drop by four million tonnes compared to 2023 - a significant reduction of 17.5 per cent.
This comes after an exceptionally wet autumn led to reduced planting levels, and subsequent storms and flooding over the winter exacerbated losses for British farmers. The situation appears even more stark when considering the average production from 2015 to 2023, with potential declines exceeding five million tonnes or 21.2 per cent, the ECIU suggests.
Tom Lancaster, a land analyst at the ECIU, has highlighted a "real risk" of price increases for bread, beer and biscuits if the poor harvest translates into higher costs for producers.
The alert was raised amidst signs that food prices were starting to

France: Winter barley crop score edges down, spring barley up last week
|
The state of French soft wheat declined slightly last week, remaining at its poorest in four years, while maize plantings progressed, data from farm office FranceAgriMer showed on Friday, April 26.
Ratings of French soft wheat showed 63% was in good or excellent condition by April 22, down from 64% the previous week and 94% a year earlier, farm office FranceAgriMer said in its crop report. The rating was the lowest for the time of year since 2020, when French wheat crops were also affected by heavy rain during planting, according to FranceAgriMer data.
The good/excellent score for winter barley crops also edged down, to 66% from 67% a week earlier, to remain at its lowest for the time of year in FranceAgriMer records going back a decade.
Maize sowing, which has been slowed by wet conditions, was 26% complete by Monday, April 22. That compared with 13% a week earlier and was still well behind a five-year average of 51%, FranceAgriMer said.
The good/excellent rating for spring barley, for which sowing is now complete, jumped to 73% from 63% but remained well below the 94% average.

Australia: Hop Products Australia completes 2024 harvest
|
Hop Products Australia (HPA) have completed this year’s hop harvest, and the 2024 hop crop looks a little different compared to previous years. Changes to global demand led HPA to idle 20% of their gardens, Craft Brewing Business reported on April 30.
HPA’s Head of Sales & Marketing Owen Johnston said “this production decrease was a necessary step towards rebalancing supply and demand, and an opportunity to get hyper focused on Aussie hop quality. We had greater flexibility to fine tune our standard operating procedures and harvest each variety at optimal maturity.”
HPA picked 670 hectares across Victoria and Tasmania, for a total of 1,340 tonnes of hops. This was a 177 hectare decrease and a 480 tonne decrease year-on-year across six proprietary varieties – Eclipse, Ella, Enigma, Galaxy, Topaz and Vic Secret – as well as Cascade.
Impact in beer is expected to remain strong, with this year’s average oil content coming in equal or above the 5-year average for all proprietary hops. Johnston said “Galaxy and Enigma were the star performers with both oils and alphas above the 5-year average, which should lead to a great year of true-to-type flavors and aromas in beer.”
Availability of Aussie hops is currently better than

Japan: New Japanese whisky regulations to give consumers more confidence in the products
|
New regulations governing the production of some Japanese whiskies could give consumers more confidence in the products, The Spirits Business reported on April 29.
These are good times for Japanese whisky, whose first distillery – Suntory’s Yamazaki – celebrated its centenary last year with special anniversary bottlings of Hibiki 21 and Yamazaki 12, among others.
The company announced a ¥10 billion (US$77 million) investment in Yamazaki and Hakushu that will include upgrading the visitor centres and installing floor maltings at both distilleries. There was also a fond cinematic tribute by the director Sofia Coppola, whose film Lost in Translation did a great deal to add Japan’s lustre in the West when it came out in 2003.
Since then, it has been a story of uninterrupted growth for Japanese whisky, with exports up by 1,400% in the past decade according to Takashi Harada, brand manager at Kirin Holdings, whose Fuji marque made its foreign debut four years ago in France. In September, Pernod Ricard took over its distribution in 13 European markets, which will go some way to help Kirin achieve its goal of a tenfold increase in net sales by 2030 from US$2.7m in 2022.
The Japanese Tax Agency valued whisky exports at ¥56
