Japan: Asahi seeing lower beer consumption by Gen Z as both risk and opportunity
|
For thousands of years, alcohol has been used as a social lubricant. In Japan, it is known as nommunication - a combination of the Japanese word for drink, nomu, and communication.
The idea is that drinking alcohol creates a more relaxed environment.
Businesses have even tackled difficult issues in pubs, rather than conference rooms.
The late former chairman of then-bankrupt Japan Airlines, Kazuo Inamori, explained in 2012 how he used beer to get his employees to open up.
But there is now a whole new generation that chooses not to drink as much. Multiple studies in the UK, the US and Australia show that people from Gen Z are more sober than their parents and grandparents, BBC reported on June 4.
In Japan, faced with declining alcohol tax revenues, the authorities even arranged a national competition, named Sake Viva!, in an effort to reverse the trend in 2022.
The sober generation does not only affect Japan's tax revenues, it also offers a whole new challenge for businesses that make and sell alcohol.
"We have realised that younger people are increasingly choosing not to drink as much alcohol," said Atsushi Katsuki, the chief executive officer of Asahi Group Holdings.
However, Japan's biggest brewer sees this as both a risk

Finland & Sweden: Sweden and Finland move to relax strict alcohol sale laws
|
Sweden and Finland have moved to relax strict laws that govern the sale of alcohol, while preserving wider state monopolies, BBC reported on June 5.
The government in Stockholm intends to allow what it calls "farm sales", in which alcohol producers offer beverages directly to visiting customers.
Meanwhile, Finland's parliament has approved the sale of fermented drinks such as beer, wine and cider with an alcohol content of up to 8% in supermarkets, up from the current 5.5% limit.
In Sweden and Finland, alcohol can generally only be bought in state-owned shops, or at licensed bars and restaurants.
They are the only EU countries to have alcohol monopolies. The long-standing practice is part of a wider Nordic tradition, and aims to limit consumption in the interests of public health.
Finland's MPs voted by 102 to 80 in favour of its fermented drinks law, with all members from one party in the governing coalition, the Christian Democrats, voting against.
Those opposing the legislation justified their position on health grounds, amid fears of a rise in alcohol consumption.
The stronger beers, wines and ciders will be available in shops as early as next week. However, the new law does not cover distilled drinks.
Meanwhile Sweden's centre-right government is planning to

Nigeria: International Breweries allows non-shareholders to participate in its rights issue
|
International Breweries Plc has allowed non-shareholders of the company to participate in its rights issue, the Punch Newspapers reported on June 7.
A statement from the brewer, which is a part of AB InBev, the largest brewer in the world, on June 6, disclosed that non-shareholders could acquire traded rights on the floor of the Nigerian Exchange through stockbrokers.
IB launched 161,172,395,100 rights issue last month, offering shareholders six new ordinary shares for every one existing share held, at an issue price of N3.65 each.
The rights issue, which opened on May 21, 2024, will close on June 10, 2024.
The company has revealed that the net proceeds from the rights issue would be used to settle its outstanding US dollar-denominated loan and provide working capital support.
“We are committed to creating sustainable value for our shareholders while fortifying our position in the Nigerian beverage industry. Together, we will continue to brew success, deliver long-term value for our shareholders, and create a future with more cheers,” said Finance Director of International Breweries, David Tomlinson.
According to the firm, the tradability of the rights on the floor of the Nigerian Exchange ensures liquidity and accessibility for shareholders throughout the offer.

Spain & UK: Spanish beer chief slams ‘dishonest’ UK brewers amid Madri boom
|
The boss of Estrella Galicia has accused British brewers of “dishonesty” for selling beers that appear Spanish but are brewed in the UK, Yahoo Finance reported on June 4.
Aitor de Artaza, international managing director of the Spanish brewer, said a “lack of transparency” among UK beer companies was confusing consumers in pubs and supermarkets alike.
His criticism comes after the recent success of Madrí Excepcional, a lager which markets itself as “the soul of Madrid”.
However, critics point out that Madrí is brewed in Yorkshire by Molson Coors, the same company that owns Doom Bar and Carling.
That is unlike Estrella Galicia, which has brewed beer in the Spanish region of Galicia for more than a century.
Mr de Artaza said: “There is a lack of transparency because they use a big famous city in Spain, but they don’t produce here. This is confusing for the consumer.”
Since its launch in British pubs in 2020, Madrí has quickly become one of the UK’s best-known beers.
Its website claims Madrí lager is made in collaboration with La Sagra, a Spanish brewery also owned by Molson Coors since 2017.
However, the beer itself is only brewed at several sites across the UK, including Tadcaster in Yorkshire.
Mr de Artaza added:

South Africa: South African Breweries adds new alcohol-free beer with Vitamin D to its portfolio
|
Beverage maker South African Breweries (SAB) has announced a new addition to its portfolio, the premium beer brand, Corona Cero – an alcohol-free beer with Vitamin D, Engineering News reported on June 5.
SAB says this is an option for both existing and new beer drinkers who are looking for an alcohol-free option.
“We are excited to introduce Corona Cero, growing our portfolio of global brands that resonate with South Africans and meet their changing consumption needs. This alcohol-free beer broadens the consumer choice and is a pronounced expression of our commitment to ensuring moderation.
“We have always maintained that beer is a beverage of moderation, and this now provides consumers with even more options. Furthermore, it encourages a culture of responsibility among South Africans, which we are deliberate in enabling at SAB,” says SAB corporate affairs VP Zoleka Lisa.
The company avers that Corona Cero shares the essence of the Corona brand, which celebrates going outside and enjoying the sun.
“At SAB, we put innovation first. The feeling of the sun is one of the things that people love most about the outdoors, and the Corona brand is always innovating to remind them of that feeling of getting outside,” says SAB marketing VP Vaughan

UK: Malting barley Tennyson gets full approval for malt distilling
|
Spring barley growers have another high-yielding malting option next spring, with Tennyson securing full approval for malt distilling and provisional approval for brewing, Farmers Weekly reported on June 5.
Syngenta’s Tennyson joined the AHDB Recommended List (RL) in 2023 as a potential malting variety, subject to approval by the Malting Barley Committee.
It has an RL yield of 102%, compared with leading variety Laureate at 101%.
However, its untreated yield is 88%, lower than Laureate’s 92% but higher than Planet’s 87%. Tennyson also ripens two days earlier than Planet.
The malting market is dominated by dual-purpose Laureate, used for distilling and brewing, while in the brewing-only market the major players are Planet and Skyway.
Kathryn Hamlen, Syngenta seeds portfolio marketing manager, says it is a high-yielding spring barley with market opportunity for both malt distilling and brewing, and has excellent performance in the north.
“For end users, it really pushes forward on quality,” she adds.
She explains that Tennyson has the highest predicted spirit yield figure on the RL at 436.8 litres of alcohol/t. High spirit yield is a key requirement for malt distilling.
Tennyson also has the highest hot water extract – important for brewing – on the RL. This means Syngenta is hopeful that it will

Japan: Whisky makers stepping up investments in distilleries
|
Japanese whisky makers are stepping up investments in distilleries, as they expect growing demand at home and abroad, NHK World reported on June 5.
Nikka Whisky Distilling said on June 5 that it plans to make a capital investment with its parent company Asahi Breweries to boost production capacity.
The companies will invest about 6 billion yen, or about 38 million dollars, this year to build new facilities to store casks for malt whisky at three production sites in Hokkaido, Miyagi and Tochigi prefectures.
Nikka expects the global whisky market to grow at an annual rate of 2 to 3 percent through 2040. It plans to continue with capital investments next year and beyond with the aim of raising annual domestic and overseas sales in 2040 or later to four-times the level in 2023.
Nikka Whisky President Tamesada Kazutomo says Japanese whisky is recognized as one of the world's top five whiskies. He says his company aims to boost its presence by offering premium whiskies with the potential for steady increase in demand.
Another Japanese whisky maker, Suntory, had set capital investment worth about 10 billion yen, or about 64 million dollars, for distilleries in Osaka and Yamanashi prefectures in the two years through 2024.

Japan: Suntory prices US$500 million bond to finance general corporate purposes
|
Suntory Holdings has priced a US$500 million bond to finance general corporate purposes including debt repayment, as CEO Takeshi Niinami denies Boston Beer investment, The Drinks Business reported on June 5.
Publicly traded companies typically issue bonds to raise capital to maintain operations, grow product lines and open new locations, or finance business expansion projects.
The whisky maker, responsible for Japanese whisky brands Yamazaki and Hibiki as well as Bourbon labels Jim Beam and Maker’s Mark, is currently one of only a handful of non-financial Japanese companies to tap the US currency debt market this year.
The US$500m note has been issued as a five-year note, making it an intermediate-term bond.
The yen has plunged to its weakest against the dollar since 1990. As a result, Japanese sales of bonds overseas this year have been dragged down because of surging borrowing costs in home-currency terms.
Proceeds from Suntory’s five-year note will be used for general corporate purposes including debt repayment, according to a person familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified. Suntory has a US$500 million note maturing in October, as reported by Reuters, where this story was first published.
In a statement sent to the drinks business today, the company said of
