Lithuania: UAB Genys Brewing acquires Lithuania’s oldest brewery AB Kauno Alus
|
Lithuania’s leading craft brewer UAB Genys Brewing has acquired AB Kauno Alus, one of the country’s oldest and most historic breweries. This acquisition marks a significant milestone for both companies and the Lithuanian beer market. Despite the change in ownership, both breweries will continue to operate independently, Baltic News Network reported on January 30.
According to Genys Brewing CEO Laurynas Lisauskas, the key factor behind the acquisition was the shared values and approach to brewing held by both companies.
“We are united by our commitment to producing high-quality brews using traditional methods. Kauno Alus is known for its long-standing heritage, classic brewing techniques, and deep-rooted traditions. We respect that and seek to preserve. This step will allow us to expand the availability of high-quality products,” said Lisauskas.
Genys Brewing will continue focusing on craft beverage innovations and the creation of high-quality products, while Kauno Alus will maintain its production of traditional-style drinks, valued for both their taste and affordability.
Founded in 2016 in Kaunas by Laurynas Lisauskas and Jonas Miežys, Genys Brewing quickly gained popularity for its bold innovations, experimental flavours, and dedication to quality – carefully selecting premium hops, malts, and natural ingredients such as berries and fruits. All beer recipes are developed

UK: Alcohol sector preparing for tax increases from February 1st
|
The wine and spirits sector in the United Kingdom is preparing for a tax increase that will directly impact the retail price of many alcoholic beverages. Starting February 1, the rise in alcohol duties, announced in the Autumn Budget by Chancellor Rachel Reeves, will make various products more expensive, particularly wines with higher alcohol content, Vinetur reported on January 30.
The new taxes, adjusted according to the Retail Price Index (RPI) inflation rate, will add up to 54 pence to the price of a 14.5% ABV bottle of wine. For spirits such as gin and vodka, the increase will be approximately 30 pence per bottle due to a 3.6% tax hike. Fortified wines, including port and sherry, will also see a 3.6% increase, while the tax on sparkling wines will decrease by 1 penny per bottle.
The most significant change affects wines, which will now be taxed based on their alcohol strength. This means that wines with an alcohol content above 12.5% ABV will see substantial price increases, with the highest hikes for those with the most alcohol. Since August 2023, the accumulation of these increases has already raised the cost of a 14.5% ABV bottle of wine by 98 pence.

The Czech Republic: Czech beer culture added to e List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Czech Republic
|
Czech beer culture has been officially added to the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Czech Republic, a significant step toward potential inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage list, Prague Morning reported on January 31.
The nomination was prepared by the Czech Beer and Malt Association in cooperation with experts.
With this designation, the Czech Republic joins Germany and Belgium as the third European country to recognize beer culture as an intangible cultural asset.
Belgium’s beer culture was added to UNESCO’s Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2016, setting a precedent that Czech brewers hope to follow.
“We make no secret of our ambition to achieve UNESCO recognition. Now, we must demonstrate that we can preserve and develop our beer culture before taking the next step,” said Petr Slunečko, a representative involved in the nomination process.
To be considered for UNESCO status, an element must first be recognized on the national heritage list. Czech beer culture now stands alongside other national traditions, including Slovácko verbuňk dance, handmade glassmaking, and puppetry.
Žatec and the Žatec hop-growing region, integral to Czech brewing, were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2023.
According to industry data, 96% of beer consumed in the Czech Republic is locally brewed,

UK: Keystone Brewing Group acquires craft beer brands Magic Rock and Fourpure
|
Keystone Brewing Group has acquired craft beer brands Magic Rock and Fourpure to join its growing portfolio, The Caterer reported on January 30.
Both brands had been owned by In Good Company Brewing since 2022, but Keystone said the holding company had “fallen into financial difficulties” in recent months.
Private equity-backed Keystone said it had stepped in to “save” the brands, which will join its portfolio of brands including Maison SASSY, Big Drop Brewing Co, Black Sheep Brewery, Purity Brewing Company, BBNo and Brick Brewing Company.
Chief executive Mark Williams said: “Keystone Brewing Group has secured an exclusive license with the brand owners to take these fantastic brands forward in the UK and worldwide.”
He added: “We have managed to save two iconic beer brands for future generations of beer lovers, following Keystone’s strategy of building an impressive portfolio of high-quality and distinctive beverages.”
In August Fourpure closed its Bermondsey taproom and moved production up to Yorkshire after 11 years.
Production of Fourpure’s beers had since been based at its sister Magic Rock brewery in Huddersfield, but Keystone confirmed this site had since closed.
Williams said: “The Magic Rock brewery has unfortunately closed, and we are naturally saddened at the loss of the Magic Rock

USA, AL: Diageo to open new manufacturing and warehousing facility in Alabama
|
As part of its efforts to build an increasingly resilient and efficient supply network, premium drinks company Diageo North America announced on January 30 plans to open a new manufacturing and warehousing facility in Montgomery, Alabama. The 360,000 square foot facility will have a multi-million case annual production capacity for Diageo’s leading beverage alcohol brands. This site will enhance the company’s North America supply chain operations and support future growth for the company’s export business.
The new facility, which will be referred to as ‘Diageo Montgomery,’ will provide a new point of operations closer to the company’s beverage distributors in the southern region. The site’s strategic location is expected to reduce required road travel, significantly helping to further mitigate carbon emissions associated with logistics operations. The new facility will also employ state-of-the-art technology for more efficient water and energy usage across the site.
"We are proud to contribute to the economic development of Montgomery, and deeply grateful to the city, state, and community leaders for their continued support,” said Marsha McIntosh, President of North America Supply at Diageo. “The new facility will not only bring our business closer to our customers and distributors in the south, but also enable our broader supply

Japan: Japanese whisky industry reaching a stage of maturity
|
Certain types of whisky are global favorites: Scotch from Scotland, Irish whisky from Ireland, American blends like bourbon, and Canadian whisky with its rich history. Recently, Japanese whisky is increasingly being recognized as one of the world's five major whisky styles, joining their ranks, The Mainichi reported on January 31.
Leading Japan's whisky production are two major companies, Suntory Holdings Ltd. and Nikka Whisky Distilling Co. These firms have spent decades refining their flavors while engaging in a friendly rivalry. Since the early 2000s, their whiskies have consistently earned high praise at international competitions, solidifying Japanese whisky's global reputation.
"Can whisky become a true Japanese industry? We're at a critical turning point," said Takahiro Inagaki, the 37-year-old president of Wakatsuru Shuzo Co. Founded in 1862, the sake brewery in Toyama Prefecture is best known for Wakatsuru, a premium sake. However, the company has also been producing whisky since 1952 at its Saburomaru Distillery.
Inagaki returned to the family business in his 20s after working for a foreign-affiliated company. While pondering ways to revitalize the firm, he discovered a whisky made by his great-grandfather, Kotaro, that had been aging for more than 60 years. Although the employees doubted it was drinkable, Inagaki sampled it
