Brazil: Medium-sized brewers carving out market share by targeting premium segment
|
While overall beer production in Brazil has remained steady at around 15 billion litres over the past three years, according to the Ministry of Agriculture’s 2025 Beer Yearbook, medium-sized brewers are carving out a market share by targeting the premium segment, introducing new flavors, seasonal offerings, and niche products, such as non-alcoholic beers, Valor International reported on September 30.
A survey by Abracerva (Brazilian Craft Beer Association) showed that smaller breweries produced 220 million liters in 2024, accounting for 1.4% of national output. However, the sector’s economic weight extends far beyond volume, says Abracerva President Giba Tarantino.
“The industry, made up of small and medium-sized producers, generated around R$4.4 billion in 2024, from the factory to the point of sale. When we consider the revenue from bars and restaurants, including pairings with dishes and snacks, this figure can be up to ten times higher,” he notes, adding that the beer chain supports roughly 2.5 million direct and indirect jobs across the country.
With a brewery in Tręs Rios, in the countryside of Rio de Janeiro, Hocus Pocus has expanded its production by introducing new recipes and concentrating on the Rio-Săo Paulo corridor. The company now employs 80 staff members and sells through more

Malaysia: Brewery industry contributes RM7.1bil to GDP
|
The Confederation of Malaysian Brewers Bhd (CMBB), comprising Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia Bhd (Carlsberg Malaysia) and Heineken Malaysia Bhd, contributed an average of RM 7.1bil annually to the Malaysian economic growth between 2022 and 2023, The Star reported on October 2.
In a statement, CMBB said this supported 52,400 jobs and generated RM3.3bil in annual tax revenue.
“As an integral part of the manufacturing industry, the brewing industry contributes 0.4% of the national gross domestic product and 1.5% of Malaysia’s total tax revenue, underscoring the sector’s strong multiplier effect across the value chain.”
Meanwhile, Stefano Clini, managing director of Carlsberg Malaysia and Martijn van Keulen, managing director of Heineken in a joint statement as members of CMBB’s Governing Council, said: “Brewers are significant contributors to Malaysia’s economy – not only through taxes but also by driving employment and industrial activity across manufacturing, logistics, retail, and hospitality sectors.”
The statistics were revealed via the Economic Impact Assessment of the Brewing Industry in Malaysia, an independent study conducted by the South-East Asia Public Policy Institute, in collaboration with the University of Nottingham Malaysia.

Malaysia: Heineken calls on government to maintain current excise duty on beer
|
Heineken Malaysia Bhd has called on the government to maintain current excise duty levels on beer in Budget 2026, warning that further increases would fuel the illicit alcohol trade, erode tax revenues and harm legitimate businesses and Malaysian jobs, BusinessToday Malaysia reported on September 28.
Its Managing Director Martijn van Kuelen said Malaysia already ranks among the highest globally in beer excise rates, a level more typical of economies with GDP many times larger than Malaysia’s.
“Any increase in excise will significantly widen the price gap between legal and illicit beer, further fuelling the illicit trade, particularly in East Malaysia.
“Illicit beer is cheaply priced, high in alcohol content and often produced with unknown standards. Many of these products do not comply with local laws,” Martijn said to BusinessToday in an email interview.
He warned that such a shift would undermine the government’s fiscal goals, as rising consumption of untaxed products would reduce revenue collection and jeopardise the industry’s contribution of over RM2 billion annually.
Martijn emphasised that a balanced tax policy is essential to protect consumers and preserve jobs across the value chain.
Acknowledging the government’s fiscal pressures, Martijn urged policymakers to focus on stronger enforcement against illicit trade rather than tax hikes.

New Zealand: DB Breweries appoints new managing director
|
DB Breweries has announced the appointment of Peter Hart as Managing Director, The Shout reported on October 1.
A strategic, globally experienced Kiwi leader, Hart has deep ties to the company, having started his career at Allied Liquor Merchants in the (then) Spirits & Wines division of DB Group.
He was responsible for the launch of New Zealand’s first branded RTD, later moving to the brewery to lead the marketing relaunch of DB Draught – DB’s largest brand at the time – and oversaw the launch of Heineken in New Zealand.
Hart brings with him 15 years of international experience working directly for HEINEKEN across three continents, including leadership roles in Amsterdam and South Africa.
His return marks a significant moment for DB, as the business strives to leverage its global expertise while remaining deeply rooted in New Zealand, to enable it to lean into its next exciting chapter.
Most recently the founder and CEO of South Africa’s #1 independent beer and spirits distribution business, Hart returns to NZ with a fresh lens and a sharp focus on unlocking growth across the DB business.
“I feel a deep sense of privilege to return home and lead one of New Zealand’s most iconic and pioneering companies,” says

Canada: Labatt launches alcohol-free Michelob as Canadians seek alternatives
|
Something different is increasingly brewing at bars across Canada. The beer pours the same, smells the same and even tastes the same.
But there's one thing missing: the hangover.
Demand for alcohol-free beverages has been growing for some time as Canadians increasingly shy away from drinking. And longtime brewers want a piece of the action.
"It's the growth of the category that opens the door for us to bring more of our iconic brands over into non-alcohol," said Doug Port, vice-president of ready-to-drink and non-alcoholic beverages at Labatt Brewing Co. Ltd.
At a small pub inside Labatt's downtown Toronto headquarters, Port sat by the wide-countered bar featuring two of its best-known beers — Budweiser and Labatt 50 — on tap. He has been spearheading innovation in ready-to-drink cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages at the company's brewery in London, Ont.
The company debuted the non-alcoholic version of Michelob Ultra on Thursday, expanding its existing array of booze-free beverages in Canada. It's the latest of the brewer's non-alcoholic offering as it hopes to capitalize on shifting consumer tastes.
Non-alcoholic beverages have seen double-digit growth in Canada over the years, according to a 2024 report by marketing agency NIQ. And non-alcoholic beers dominate that share, accounting for 76 per cent

UK: Jersey’s only major brewery to close and relocate production to Somerset
|
Jersey's only major brewery will close and relocate production to Somerset in a bid to safeguard its future, ITVX reported on October 1.
Liberation Brewing Co has prided itself on making beers locally for nearly 150 years and even continued operations through both World Wars.
However, its UK parent company, the Butcombe Group, says costs have "dramatically risen over the last few years" and it is no longer viable to run the brewery at Tregear House in St Saviour.
Some job losses are expected, although the exact figure is not yet known as a consultation is ongoing.
Butcombe says it is working with its Jersey team "to explore options and provide support through this transitional period".
The existing on-island warehouse, distribution business and offices at Tregear House, as well as the Liberation shop opposite on Longueville Road, will be unaffected.
On concerns over changes in the supply chain, Butcombe explains: "We are putting safeguards in place to avoid this and will be making sure we communicate with all our customers to minimise any impact."
Pat Dean, Head Brewer of Liberation Brewing Co, will move from Jersey to Somerset and continue to oversee the production of Liberation Ales.
The Head Brewer of Butcombe Group, Mike Jordan, says: "I'm really

Canada: Ample supplies and lack of demand weighing on feed barley prices
|
Ample supplies and a lack of demand are weighing on Western Canadian feed barley in early October, with both buyers and sellers reluctant to push values one way or the other, Canadian Cattlemen reported on October 2.
“Feed grains are under pressure,” said Brandon Motz of CorNine Commodities in Lacombe, Alta. He said good crops were limiting buying interest, while farmers were content to hold onto their recently harvested supplies to hold out for better prices if they can.
“The farmer isn’t really a big seller. … They’ve seen the prices tumble,” said Motz, adding that “bin lids are locked.”
High cattle prices may also be negatively affecting the grain market, as feedlots must put out record cashflow to bring cattle in.
“We do expect demand to come back in at the end of this year or the beginning of next,” said Motz.
“Who blinks first? That’s the question — the buyer or the seller?” asked Motz. “As long as the farmer has cash flow, they’re willing to wait.”
U.S. corn prices are also relatively high, limiting competition from corn imports.
Feed barley into Lethbridge, Alta., was priced at C$244 to C$255 per tonne as of Sept. 26, according to the Alberta government’s weekly market review. That
