Brewery news World: Heineken to cut up to 6,000 jobs from its global workforce
Heineken said on February 11 it would cut up to 6,000 jobs from its global workforce and set lower expectations for ⁠profit ⁠growth in 2026 than a year earlier, as the Dutch brewer and its peers grapple with weak demand for beers, the Economic Times reported.

The world's No.2 brewer by market value has promised to deliver higher growth with fewer ⁠resources under a new strategy spanning the years until 2030.

This productivity drive would ⁠unlock significant savings and reduce its global head count by between 5,000 and 6,000 roles over the next two years, it added.

The news comes as the maker of Tiger and Amstel, alongside its namesake lager, also reported forecast-beating annual organic operating profit, which grew 4.4% in 2025 versus analyst expectations for 4% ⁠growth.

But it trimmed its growth expectations for 2026 versus a year earlier, saying it expected profits to grow between 2% and 6%, rather than the 4% to 8% growth it guided for in 2025.


Brewery news Canada: Aluminium tariffs leave Canadian brewers suffering from domestic can supply
For Canada’s beer industry, the most difficult part of going local isn’t the hops or the barley, it’s the can. As the US tariffs on aluminium near their one-year mark, breweries say packaging has become one of the most stubborn and expensive obstacles in their supply chains, ALCircle reported on February 9.

The challenge is not rooted in the scarcity of raw material. Canada remains a major producer of primary aluminium. What’s missing is domestic manufacturing capacity for certain widely used beer can formats, including the 473-millilitre tall can that dominates the craft beer market.

That gap became evident during a recent initiative by Ottawa-based Dominion City Brewing, which set out to produce a beer made entirely from Canadian inputs. While the ingredients inside the can meet that goal, the container itself did not. With no local option available, the brewery sourced its cans from the United States.

However, Josh McJannet, co-founder of Dominion City Brewing, believes that there are no Canadian-made alternatives for some of these cans, and hence, sourcing them domestically is nearly impossible.

Reliance on the US suppliers has become increasingly costly since aluminium and steel tariffs were reinstated and expanded. Originally introduced at 25 per cent, the tariffs were raised ...More info on site


Brewery news New Zealand & Australia: New Zealand should look to follow Australia’s example of freezing draught beer excises – Brewers Association
The Brewers Association of New Zealand, the Brewers Guild of New Zealand and Hospitality New Zealand say the latest move by Australia to freeze draught beer excise should prompt a serious look at how New Zealand treats its own brewers and hospitality businesses, The Shout Magazine reported on February 11.

Across the Tasman, the Anthony Albanese Government last week passed legislation recognising the intense pressure facing pubs and acted to stop further tax increases landing on beer poured in venues from kegs.

In New Zealand, excise tax continues to rise automatically every year.

Brewers Association Executive Director Dylan Firth says the gap between the two countries is becoming impossible to ignore.

“Australia already has a lower excise outcome for beer sold on tap and a rebate for brewers of up to A$400,000. Now they’ve recognised the pressure on pubs and decided the moment calls for a pause in increases.

“Meanwhile in New Zealand, excise keeps automatically rising regardless of what’s happening in the market.

“If the Government is collecting roughly the same revenue while New Zealanders are drinking less beer, that tells you tax is taking up a growing share of the price of every glass poured,” he says.

Over the past five years, beer excise in ...More info on site


Brewery news Hungary: Hungarian government signs strategic cooperation agreement with Dreher Breweries
The Hungarian government has signed its 103rd strategic cooperation agreement, this time with Dreher Sörgyárak Ltd, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó announced in Budapest on February 6. The agreement accompanies a 100 billion forint investment programme that is set to take beer production in Budapest’s Kőbánya district to a new level, the Hungarian Conservative reported.

Speaking after the signing, Szijjártó said that although the 170-year-old brewery is now under Japanese ownership, Dreher has become deeply embedded in Hungarian culture and traditions and is therefore regarded as a domestic company. He added that the firm’s operations extend well beyond brewing, as the livelihoods of around 8,500 Hungarian families depend on it.

According to the minister, 86 per cent of Dreher’s suppliers are Hungarian small and medium-sized enterprises, meaning that the investment programme also represents a major development opportunity for domestic businesses. He described the project as the largest investment ever undertaken in Hungarian beer production, with the entire manufacturing process in Kőbánya being upgraded through new technologies that could make Dreher distinctive even at a global level.

Szijjártó said the decision to formalize the partnership reflected an already well-established and highly valued relationship between the government and the company. He stressed that strategic partners form ...More info on site

Barley news India: AB InBev India to procure over 16,000 tonnes of domestically grown barley
Leading brewer AB InBev India will procure over 16,000 tons of domestically grown barley in 2026 to strengthen long-term sourcing resilience and farmer market linkages, Rediff Money reported on February 10.

It has plans to engage over 2,000 barley farmers through its SmartBarley program across key growing states, said a company official at the 6th Annual Barley Growers Day in Chomu, Rajasthan.

The initiative covers farmers across Rajasthan, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, while advancing sustainable agriculture, scientific farming practices and resilient local supply chains.

In India, AB InBev has been working with barley farmers since 2009 and formally launched the SmartBarley framework in 2016.

The company said it will continue to expand the program into new regions, increase per-farmer land allocation to malt-quality barley and deepen long-term farmer partnerships.

"We have proven that when farmers are equipped with regenerative agriculture practices and timely insights, they build the resilient supply chains of the future," said Arun Jacob Mathews, Director - Procurement & Sustainability, AB InBev India.

It had brought over 400 farmers for R&D field trials, expert-led knowledge sessions and recognition of sustainable farming leadership, said AB InBev India.

AB InBev India is part of Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (AB InBev), the world's largest brewing company headquartered in Leuven, ...More info on site
