UK: Budweiser Brewing Group reveals trends from beer category growth during Euro 2024
|
Budweiser Brewing Group UK&I, a proud partner of AB InBev, continues to see growth in the beer sector, as Euro 2024 spearheads a 5.8% value and 5.1% volume growth in the category, with the return of the football season likely to drive at-home drinking moments, Retail Times reported on September 12.
Southgate’s long tournament runs have injected life into the economy, as England’s progression to the final played a huge role in increasing beer sales. Overall, an extra 9.3m litres of beer were sold in the off-trade, compared to the same time frame the previous year, equating to an extra £28m being spent in the category.
“UEFA Euro 2024 proved how important it is for retailers to capture spend during sporting moments,” says Maria Neves, head of category management at Budweiser Brewing Group, said: “Whilst national games draw a larger audience and increase basket spend, they also shine a light on what’s performing well. This offers customers a great opportunity to plan for the domestic football season, and international breaks in-between. We saw a real spike in World Beer, Craft Beer, and No-and-Low Alcohol during UEFA Euro 2024, which are trends we expect to see continue and recommend stocking for the season

Vietnam: Tax increases on alcoholic beverages should strike a balance - experts
|
The tax increases on alcoholic beverages in Vietnam should strike a balance between curbing consumption to protect the public's health and hindering the beverage industry, said industry experts and policymakers, VietNam News reported on September 11.
Three tax laws, including the Corporate Income Tax Law, the Value-Added Tax Law, and the Special Consumption Tax Law, have been under review and are expected to be amended in a direction that will significantly raise taxes for the industry.
Among these, a draft amendment to the Special Consumption Tax Law is expected to be presented to the National Assembly next month and can be approved as early as May next year. The tax has been reported to take an upward trajectory, taxing alcoholic beverages starting from 2026, reaching as high as 100 per cent by 2030.
The amendment proposed two scenarios, with the Ministry of Finance preferring alcoholic beverages with alcohol content of 20 per cent or higher having their taxes increased by 80 per cent by 2030. Meanwhile, alcoholic beverages with an alcohol content of 19 per cent or lower will have their taxes increased by 50-70 per cent. Beers will also see a gradual tax increase from 80 per cent to 100 per cent.

Australia: More than 20 craft breweries have entered voluntary administration or liquidation over the past year
|
This week, Melbourne’s Burnley Brewing has announced that it has entered into liquidation, marking a continuation of a now well-established trend that has seen more than 20 breweries enter into either voluntary administration or liquidation over the past year alone, Drinks Trade reported on September 11.
According to an update published to ASIC, “notice is given that at a general meeting of the members of the Company held on 09 September 2024, it was resolved that the Company be wound up and that Con Kokkinos be appointed liquidator(s).”
Shortly prior to this on 3 September and 5 August respectively, Prancing Pony Brewery Apollo Bay Brewery both revealed that they had appointed restructuring practitioners to improve the economic viabilities of the companies. The Burnley, Prancing Pony, and Apollo Bay news follows on from Margaret River’s Black Brewery Co and Brew Barons (trading as Parched West End) permanently shutting their doors in July.
In a statement issued to social media, Burnley Brewing said that the decision to wind up its taproom operations, originally announced last month, has been made due to circumstances beyond the breweries control.
“We are feeling for staff across our production, sales and hospitality teams who put so much of themselves into

Australia: Australia’s independent brewers advocating for excise reform
|
In its Budget submission earlier this year, the Independent Brewers Association (IBA) described the environment for independent brewing as “dire”, and just last month, the industry was hit once again with a bi-annual tax increase, Beer & Brewer reported on September 12.
Paired with increased production costs and legacy tax debt to name a few, these pressures are causing craft breweries to enter administration or close their doors at an alarming rate, while others struggle to stay afloat.
But, despite the challenging outlook for the industry, independent breweries nationwide are taking action.
A statement issued yesterday by the IBA said independent breweries have spent the last few months meeting with MPs and advocating for excise reform, and MPs from New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia, who have been invited into venues, have agreed on the need for reform of the excise regime.
Such advocacy hopes to drive conversation in Parliament, and earlier this week, Cameron Caldwell MP spoke to the House of Representatives about the challenges faced by Australian small and family businesses, which he described as the lifeblood of our economy and essential to our way of life.
“These businesses are at breaking point, struggling under the weight of policies and red tape

The Czech Republic: Czech consumers complain of paying more for less beer
|
Prague pubs have recently come under fire for serving smaller amounts of beer, causing dissatisfaction among customers. Many establishments, experts say, have made it the norm to serve around 470 milliliters (a pint) instead of a half-liter, Expats.cz reported on September 11.
But why are pubs serving less beer? The answer may lie in the strict regulations enforced by the Czech Trade Inspection Authority (ČOI), which has been issuing fines for under-measured drinks. To protect themselves from these fines, pubs have started advertising – and serving – smaller minimum measures, to avoid getting in trouble. The swap from a half-liter to a pint, while not adjusting prices, unfairly impacts the consumer.
Other pubs have taken this practice even further, serving beers with a volume of only 0.4 liters. According to Maier, this is 20 percent less beer than a regular serving, and customers may not even realize they are being served less.
František Novotný, manager of U Pinkasů – a well-known Prague bar people have accused of underpouring pints – defended the practice by speaking to Czech media outlet iDnes. "We are stating the real minimum rate; we are not misleading anyone."
However, economist Tomáš Maier tells iDnes that this is a disservice

India: New regulations should benefit craft brewing sector in Karnataka
|
The recent easing of regulations in India’s Karnataka state should significantly boost the local craft brewing sector, AsiaBrewersNetwork.com reported on September 2.
The government of Karnataka state in southern India has announced reductions to the minimum space requirement for microbreweries from the previously required 10,000 square feet to 6,500 square feet. The change, along with others, is outlined in the Karnataka Excise (General Conditions of Licences) (Amendment) Rules, 2024, which were announced in mid August.
In addition to the reduced space requirements, the amendment also allows microbreweries to establish up to three additional beer dispensing counters. Previous regulation limited establishments to just one counter, causing operational challenges, especially in larger venues.
Furthermore, the Karnataka government has extended the operational hours for clubs, hotels, bars, and restaurants, permitting them to serve alcohol until 1 am.
The state is also planning to reduce the pricing of premium Indian Made Liquor (IML) to make it competitive with rates in neighbouring states.
The changes are expected to supercharge investment in local craft beer and microbrewing activity, particularly in the state capital, Bengalaru, which already enjoys a reputation as the craft beer capital of India.

Kazakhstan: Carlsberg to invest over EUR100 mln in new non-alcoholic beverages plant in Kazakhstan
|
Carlsberg is set to invest over 100 million euros in a new production facility for non-alcoholic beverages in Kazakhstan, Interfax reported on September 12.
"The new investment is expected to deliver a double-digit return on invested capital (ROIC) from the first year and increase the group's ROIC by the third year," the company said in a press release.
The Carlsberg Group and PepsiCo, Inc. announced an expansion of their strategic partnership with a new agreement under which Carlsberg will become the PepsiCo bottler in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan from January 1, 2026.
"With the new strategic partnership, PepsiCo and Carlsberg have agreed to cooperate in the production, sale and distribution of non-alcoholic beverages in the two countries. Beginning January 1, 2026, Carlsberg will take over the PepsiCo franchise to produce non-alcoholic beverages in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan," according to the statement.
Carlsberg Kazakhstan was the market leader in the beer category with a 38% market share in 2023.
Carlsberg and PepsiCo already have existing bottling agreements in five other markets across Europe and Asia, namely Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Cambodia and Laos. Earlier this year, Carlsberg announced its intention to acquire Britvic plc, which, upon completion and subject to regulatory and legal requirements, would allow Carlsberg to produce
