Brewery news USA: Whiskey prices for at-home consumption nearly 2% cheaper this year but beer in bars and restaurants about 4% more expensive
Prices for a festive tipple this holiday season are slightly higher than last year, but some spirits, such as whiskey and tequila, are seeing price drops, MSN reported on December 13.

According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics whiskey for at-home consumption is nearly 2 percent cheaper than a year ago, while beer served in bars and restaurants is about 4 percent more expensive.

Drinking at home remains cheaper than going out, and beer remains the most affordable option compared to spirits.

Federal data shows alcohol prices have risen nearly 15 percent from 2019 to mid-2024, compared to a 23 percent increase in overall consumer prices. Alcohol costs rose 1.8 percent in November compared to a year earlier, while inflation for all goods increased 2.7 percent.

Sluggish alcohol sales have contributed to these modest price increases. “It’s been a pretty rough year for alcohol sales,” Marten Lodewijks – president of the U.S. division of beverage data firm IWSR – told NBC.

Tequila, often viewed as a high-end splurge, has become more affordable due to falling agave prices. In 2022, agave peaked at 32 Mexican pesos per kilogram at $1.60, but by February 2024, it had dropped to just 5 pesos per kilogram ...More info on site


Brewery news World: Carlsberg announces new head for Central & Eastern Europe and India region
Carlsberg has concluded the search for its next regional executive VP for the ‘Central & Eastern Europe and India’ region, Global Drinks Intel reported.

Nikos Kalaitzidakis will assume the position “no later than March”, the group said on December 12. The appointment comes four months after previous incumbent Lars Lehmann lined up his departure at the end of this month after 21 years with Carlsberg.

Moving across from food and beverage conglomerate The Olayan Group, Kalaitzidakis worked for Coca-Cola HBC for just under 18 years, rising to become the regional director for south-east Europe for five years before moving to Olayan in September 2023.

“Nikos Kalaitzidakis comes with extensive FMCG expertise,” said CEO Jacob Aarup-Andersen. “His vast work experience from more than 40 countries puts him in a perfect position to take over the leadership of the Carlsberg Group’s CEEI region … .”

‘Central & Eastern Europe and India’ was Carlsberg’s strongest-performing region in the three months to the end of September. delivering a rise in sales of just under 10%. The brewer also completed the buyout of its joint-venture partner in India and Nepal, CSAPL (Singapore) Holdings, earlier this year.

Barley news Canada: Feed barley prices on steady uptrend
Feed barley prices in Western Canada remain on a steady uptrend, improving by C$30 to C$40 per tonne off their harvest lows hit in late August, Farmtario reported on December 12.

Feed barley into the key Lethbridge feeding area was priced at C$300 to C$305 per tonne area as of Dec. 2, according to the Alberta government’s weekly market review. That was up by about C$10 to C$20 per tonne over the past month. Delivered corn prices have also risen, but to a lesser extent, trading at about C$303 per tonne into Lethbridge in early December.

The Canadian dollar has lost nearly two cents relative to its United States counterpart since early November, to trade at its softest level in four-and-a-half years. The softer currency makes it more expensive for Canadian feedlots to buy corn priced in U.S. dollars.

Canadian imports of U.S. corn remain slow, with only 41,800 tonnes imported as of Dec. 5 during the marketing year that began at the start of September, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data. That compares with 358,400 tonnes at the same point a year ago. In addition, there are only 41,000 tonnes of outstanding U.S. corn sales to Canada, well below the 451,600 ...More info on site


Barley news Australia: Barley exports drop to 130,000 tonnes in October
Australia exported 130,009 tonnes of barley and 188,558t of sorghum in October, according to the latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

The barley figure comprises 90,679t of feed and 39,330t of malting, with both totals less than half the amounts shipped in September to represent the annual rundown in stocks.

The sorghum drop was less drastic, down 42pc from the September total of 323,448t.

On feed barley, China was the destination for 79,184t, or 87pc of barley shipped, with Thailand on 5397t and Vietnam on 1999t the second and third-biggest markets respectively.

Japan on 22,094t was the surprise major destination for October-shipped malting barley, followed by China on 11,254t and Mexico on 3000t.

China on 184,713t bought almost all of Australia’s October-shipped sorghum, with Taiwan on 2083t and The Philippines on 1672t the second and third-biggest markets respectively.

Flexi Grain pool manager Sam Roache said barley exports for October were the smallest monthly figure in many years, reflecting the record tight carry-out and a lack of new-crop options for the opening month of the shipping year.

“With this figure, it would be understandable to worry about Chinese demand, combined with some negative demand narrative, and August rumours about government grain import limitations, but the reality ...More info on site
