UK: Low-alcohol beer sales surge in 2023
|
Sales of low-alcohol beer in the UK surged in 2023, showing the highest growth globally, largely due to post-Brexit reforms in alcohol duties. Brewers capitalised on new tax rates, launching or reformulating products under 3.5% ABV to benefit from reduced charges, Proactive Investors reported on September 24.
Sales doubled from 650,000 hectolitres in 2022 to nearly 1.3 million in 2023, according to data firm IWSR cited by the Financial Times.
The UK market's growth was double that of Venezuela, the next-strongest performer, while Romania and Japan ranked joint third. The UK has risen to become the eighth-largest market globally for low-alcohol beer, up from 13th in 2022.
Analysts attribute this increase to duty changes, which impose lower taxes on beverages under 3.5% ABV.
Global brewers, including Guinness and Heineken, have expanded zero-alcohol options in response to growing consumer demand for healthier, low-alcohol alternatives.
IWSR predicts the rapid growth will stabilise in the coming years, with flat sales expected between 2024 and 2028.

UK: Beer and pub sector in urgent need of government support
|
Britain’s beer and pub sector urgently needs the Budget's help keep people in work, Gazette and Herald reported on September 20.
The sector supports 100,000 jobs according to the British Beer and Pub Association, which said pubs make an average of just 12p on every pint of beer once taxes and costs have been deducted.
Emma McClarkin, CEO of the BBPA, said: “Our brewers and pubs are helping people around the country earn money, gain skills and experience, and support both the local and national economy.
“From those pulling pints to the farmers growing the hops, so many rely on our treasured beer and pub sector for their livelihoods and careers.”
The BBPA is calling on the government to use the upcoming Budget to cut beer duty, reform business rates, and pledge to keep the 75 per cent business rates relief so that pubs and brewers can keep people in work and support more jobs.
The industry is one for the most heavily taxed business sectors per pound of turnover in the UK with tax making up 40 per cent of UK brewing turnover and £1 in every £3 spent in pubs.
The BBPA warns any additional price increases, on top of

UK: Fifty pubs a month closed in England and Wales in H1 this year
|
Fifty pubs a month closed for good across England and Wales in the first half of this year, with experts warning that tax rises in 2025 could make it even harder for some businesses to keep their doors open, The Guardian reported on September 23.
Analysis by the real estate intelligence company Altus found that 305 pubs were forced to shut their doors permanently in the first six months of the year, meaning the number of pubs in England and Wales fell to 39,096 at the end of June.
The total figure also includes pubs that are vacant and being offered to let, meaning the number of operational pubs is even lower.
Pubs that have “vanished” from the communities they once served have either been demolished and/or converted into other types of use such as homes, offices or even day nurseries, according to Altus.
The rate of closure is lower than the first half of 2023, when 383 pubs vanished, the equivalent to 64 pubs closing every month.
Alex Probyn, the president of property tax at Altus Group, said even more pubs could be forced to close their doors next year as they faced a “double whammy” of extra costs because of inflation and the

South Korea: LOTTE Asahi Liquor launches new premium beer, Asahi Shokusai
|
LOTTE Asahi Liquor, part of South Korean conglomerate LOTTE Group and importer of Japan’s Asahi beer, announced on September 12 that it will officially launch its premium beer Asahi Shokusai in the Korean market on September 24. The move follows on from a successful limited release earlier this spring, Asia Brewers Network reported.
The brewer describes Asahi Shokusai as a meticulously crafted premium beer that blends five different types of hops, including the French variety Aramis. This careful selection of ingredients results in a rich and complex flavour profile.
Asahi Shokusai will be available for purchase in a novel draft beer can that features a unique full-aperture lid design. The company emphasises that with the new can design, the quality of the beer’s effervescence results in the foam rising instantly upon opening the can, providing a draft-like experience.
Since its trial debut in Japan in March, the new brew has already received international recognition, by winning the Grand Gold award at the prestigious Monde Selection, a quality beer evaluation competition held in Brussels, Belgium, in April. The brewer has also taken on local Korean actress Kwon Nara as its brand ambassador to help promote the new product.
The beer will be available in 340ml

Canada: Vancouver strike halts Canada grain exports at major port
|
Grain terminal workers at the port of Vancouver went on strike on September 24, halting shipments of about half of Canada's grain exports during the peak autumn shipping season, Barron’s reported.
The Grain Workers Union representing 650 workers at six Vancouver grain terminals -- including those owned by Cargill, Richardson International and Viterra -- accused employer Vancouver Terminal Elevator Association of having "invested very little effort in (contract) negotiations."
The work stoppage, decried by farmers, halts bulk shipments of canola, wheat, barley, oats and specialty crops.
Last year, 52 percent of all grain produced in Canada passed through the Pacific coast port.
The Grain Growers of Canada, an association representing 65,000 farmers, urged the government to intervene to bring an end to the strike, which it said risks having a "devastating impact on grain farmers."
Nearly 100,000 metric tons of Canadian grain arrive at these terminals each day, it said in a statement, and a shutdown will result in a loss of Can$35 million (US$26 million) in potential exports daily.
The Canola Council of Canada also said it was "deeply concerned about the work stoppage" in Vancouver. Its chief executive Chris Davison said it comes at a time when the industry is "already facing significant market
