South Africa: Brewers warn proposed excise tax change could raise the price of most beers
|
South Africa’s brewers are warning that a proposed change to beer excise taxes could raise the price of most beers by as much as 20%, adding pressure to consumers and to an industry that says it is already operating in a difficult market, Vinetur reported on July 20.
The warning came from the South African Breweries Association, or BASA, which said the planned excise structure would have broad effects across the beer market. According to the association, the proposal would affect most beers sold in the country and could reduce consumption as retail prices rise.
BASA said the tax redesign would not only hit drinkers but also brewers, which face higher costs and weaker demand when taxes push shelf prices up. The group urged the government to reconsider the structure before it is adopted, arguing that the measure could bring wider economic damage, including possible job losses in brewing and related parts of the supply chain.
The debate centers on how South Africa plans to structure excise duties on beer. BASA has argued that the proposed model would sharply increase the tax burden on a large share of products in the market. In its view, that would make many beers more expensive at

USA: Trade unionists urge Trump to impose tariff on Mexican beer, state more of it should be brewed in the US
|
One of the United States’ largest unions, The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, wants Trump to impose tariffs on Mexican beer and has reportedly stated that more of it should be brewed by US workers instead of being made across the border, The Drinks Business (db) reported on July 20.
According to reports across the US, The International Brotherhood of Teamsters is now urging the administration to impose “significant tariffs” on Mexican beer and has made the request as the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) continues to assess whether certain countries’ policies have contributed to what are being levelled as “unfair manufacturing advantages”.
Fox News also recently reported that Teamsters members have argued that Mexico has assisted its brewing industry through government-backed investment incentives, lower labour costs and export-focused policies. The union has purportedly also insisted this has expanded production and exports for Mexico and essentially helped imported beer capture a growing share of the US market.
The suggested tariff push could, according to local reports, have knock-on implications for some of the US’s best-known imported beer brands such as the AB InBev-owned Modelo, Corona and Pacifico as well as the Heineken-owned brand Tecate all of which are currently brewed in Mexico

Russia: Domestic beer now accounts for 95% of sales in Russia
|
Over four years into the Russo-Ukrainian War, the Russian government is reporting a steep drop-off in foreign alcohol sales, Yahoo Finance reported on July 17.
On July 17, state media outlet Ria Novosti reported that beer imports from countries "unfriendly to Russia" have fallen by 34% year over year, down to a total of just 61.7 million liters. The report clarifies that these are not only nations classified in Russia's official "unfriendly countries" list, but all nations outside of the EAEU, an economic union that includes post-Soviet states Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
During the same time frame, beer imports from EAEU countries have reportedly doubled to a total of 5.35 billion liters. Ria Novosti adds that domestic beer now holds the overwhelming majority of the local market share in Russia, equivalent to 95.4% of all sales.
Putting those figures into perspective, Russians reportedly drank 540.6 billion rubles worth of beer in the first half of this year, equivalent to nearly USD $7 billion.
Foreign alcohol in Russia— and the lack thereof — has been the subject of much debate in the international community over the past few years. Spirits giants like Bacardi and Diageo have ceased operations in the country, precipitating the rise

Japan: Japan's third beer category faces changes as tax reforms take effect
|
Suntory's 'Kinmugi', Kirin's 'Honkirin', and Asahi's 'Clear Asahi' are commonly found in convenience stores and supermarkets across Japan. These products share a common trait: while they closely resemble beer in appearance, taste, and aroma, they are legally classified as 'third beer', AJP News Agency reported on July 20.
What exactly is 'third beer'? The answer lies in Japan's unique tax system. The country categorizes beer based on the malt content and production methods, imposing higher tax rates on beverages with a higher malt ratio.
In response, beverage companies developed alternatives that maintain a beer-like flavor while benefiting from lower tax rates. This led to the creation of happoshu, a beverage with reduced malt content that offers a similar taste while lowering tax burdens. Following the collapse of Japan's bubble economy in the 1990s, price-sensitive consumers quickly gravitated toward happoshu.
As happoshu sales surged, the Japanese government raised taxes, prompting companies to seek new alternatives. They introduced beverages that use little to no malt or mix happoshu with distilled spirits to create a new category with even lower tax rates, known as 'third beer.'
This cat-and-mouse game between the government and beverage companies has persisted for nearly 30 years. During this time, third beer has

Estonia: Retailers facing introduction of new fee for alcohol licenses
|
Retailers across Estonia are facing the introduction of a new fee for alcohol licences that are set to reduce the number of outlets selling beer, wine and spirits, The Drinks Business reported on July 20.
At present, around 10,000 alcohol sales licences have been issued across Estonia with the number having increased in recent years. In fact, according to the Eesti Rahvusringhääling (ERR), 90% of Estonian’s can reach a store that sells alcohol within 10 minutes of their homes, reflecting the expansion of the country’s off-trade which has been catering for high demand and positioning itself for local convenience.
Despite these wins for the sector, the expansion has captured the attention of the World Health Organisation (WHO) which has now recommended using paid sales licences to reduce the number of sales outlets – a move that the Ministry of Social Affairs is now considering.
The fees are anticipated to have the knock on effect on the sector, reducing alcohol availability on such a broad scale while also assisting to push up prices for consumers as retailers pass on the costs or leverage the attraction of their drinks stock availability.
Examples of the impact of the fees were outlined by the ERR, which highlighted instances

UK: Asahi UK reports record demand for its alcohol-free options
|
Beer group Asahi UK has reported record demand for its alcohol-free options across two of the UK’s largest summer events, Drinks International reported on July 21.
The group has reported that sales of Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% at Royal Ascot increased by 90% between 2023 and 2026.
Meanwhile, an alcohol-free draught trial at BST Hyde Park helped to grow 0.0% share of total beer sales by 83%.
“As moderation becomes increasingly mainstream, Asahi UK continues to invest in making premium alcohol-free choices available in the moments that matter most to consumers,” said Rob Hobart, marketing director at Asahi UK.
The results follow the release of Sip Happens: Mindful Tastes, a report launched by the group earlier in the year in collaboration with Time Out, that found that “nine in 10 UK drinkers actively moderate their alcohol consumption in some way” and “more than half switch between alcoholic and alcohol-free drinks depending on the occasion”.
Hobart continued: “The findings from Sip Happens: Mindful Tastes suggest that moderation is no longer a niche behaviour but an established part of modern social culture, with drinkers expecting high-quality alcohol-free options to be available wherever they choose to spend their leisure time.”

India: Bira 91’s founder exits board and agrees to relinquish executive control and ownership
|
Less than a decade after emerging as one of India's most recognisable homegrown beer brands, Bira 91 is entering a new chapter—this time without its founder at the helm.
The Economic Times reported on July 22 that founder Ankur Jain has stepped down from the board and agreed to relinquish executive control and ownership as part of a settlement with institutional investors and lenders, bringing to a close a bruising two-year standoff over the future of B9 Beverages.
The settlement paves the way for a recapitalisation of the company, which plans to resume operations over the next three to six months after production ground to a halt.
For a company that spearheaded the rise of India's premium craft beer movement, the founder's exit marks the latest chapter in a series of regulatory setbacks, financial strain, governance disputes and legal battles that steadily unravelled one of the country's most celebrated consumer brands.
Backed by investors including Peak XV Partners, Sofina and Japan's Kirin Holdings, the company raised more than $200 million over the years.
Revenue crossed $100 million in FY23, making it one of the country's standout consumer startup stories. In 2022, it expanded beyond beer by acquiring pub chain The Beer Cafe, aiming to strengthen
