0 USA: Premium light imported beer accounts for an estimated 14.2% of light imported dollar sales in 2006

From its initial launch as a sub-segment in 2005, premium light imported beer accounts for an estimated 14.2% of light imported dollar sales In 2006 (in FDM) in the United States, according to Research and Markets, May 24.

Research and Markets has announced the addition of imported beer in the United States 2006 to their offering.
This report is the second of two volumes. This volume focuses on imported beer for sale in the US. Volume sales figures are based on analysis of volume sales data from Adams Beverage Group. Dollar sales figures are created by triangulating dollar sales data from IRI for beer sold through FDM with volume sales for all distribution channels from Adams Beverage Group. Consumer attitudes and behavior and perceptions about beer are gathered in exclusive consumer research conducted for this report. Key themes in this report include:

According to an analysis of the Simmons NCS, the percentage of adult respondents who say they drink imported beer remained at about 26% of all adult respondents between 2001 and 2005. Sales growth, therefore, is due primarily to an increase in consumption among those who do drink imported beer. Imported beer sales increased on a dollar and volume basis between 2001 ... More Info

0 Mexico: Modelo to distribute Carlsberg beer

Mexican brewer Modelo, maker of the Corona brand, said on Wednesday it reached a deal to import and distribute Carlsberg, Reuters reported May 23.

Modelo said the exclusive five-year agreement with Danish Carlsberg, the world's sixth-biggest beer brewer, would begin in the second half of 2007.

"It is an excellent opportunity to broaden our portfolio of imported brands with a really classy European beer and at the same time to strengthen our leadership in this segment," said Modelo's Chairman Carlos Fernandez.

Imported beer volumes have grown rapidly in recent years in Mexico, where two companies, Modelo and rival Femsa, dominate domestic brewing.

Modelo is half owned by U.S. beer giant Anheuser-Busch Cos Inc.

0 Brazil: Government plans to restrict beer advertising

Brazil, where drinking cold beer and sugar cane liquor is almost a national pastime, will get tough on alcohol abuse under a policy promoted by its outspoken new health minister, Reuters reported May 23.

"Every day people are dying, people are suffering violence, people are being hospitalized because of alcohol consumption," Health Minister Jose Temporao said at a signing ceremony for the new policy on Wednesday.

Temporao blamed excess drinking for a list of social ills from wife-beating to traffic accidents. The national health system spends more than 40 million reais ($20 million) annually on drug and alcohol treatment, he said.

The government plans to restrict beer advertising and to tighten up checks on drunk driving. It will also propose laws to Congress to stop gas stations selling alcoholic beverages.

Brazil is the world's fourth biggest beer-market after the United States, China and Germany.

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva himself has been known to enjoy beer and cachaca, a fiery liquor made from sugar cane which poor Brazilians can buy for as little as $1 per bottle.

A Health Ministry survey found that a quarter to a third of Brazilian men drink too much. The heaviest drinkers were in the northeastern city of Salvador. In ... More Info

0 USA: Boston Beer Co. to decide whether to build a brewery in Freetown

Officials from Boston Beer Co., the makers of Sam Adams beer, hope to decide before summer on whether to open a brewery in Freetown, South Coast Today published May 24.

Company officials, including president and CEO Martin Roper, met with selectmen this week explaining that they were seeking grants to pay for water and sewer lines upgrades on the property where a plant would be located.

Mr. Roper was optimistic and presented a posterboard-size picture of the 250,000-square-foot "Freetown Brewery."

Mr. Roper estimated the brewery project would cost between $170 million and $210 million, an increase from the $75 million to $90 million originally proposed. The number of anticipated full-time jobs to be generated stands at 50 to 75.

During a telephone interview, Boston Beer spokeswoman Michelle Sullivan indicated that "a decision hasn't been made yet" regarding whether the brewery will be built on the Campanelli site.

She referred to the fact that Freetown has no sewer system at this time and buys water from Fall River. "It is a huge financial undertaking that requires a long evaluation process. We plan to make a decision by this summer," Ms. Sullivan said.

Asked whether Boston Beer Company was still considering other cities or towns, such as New ... More Info

0 Australia: Victorian barley is a benefit for growers in northern New South Wales and southern Queensland

Fitzroy* - a new Victorian-bred, high-yielding variety of malting barley - is set carve a place in northern grains region cropping programs, according to Queensland Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries (DPI&F) barley industry development officer, Kym McIntyre, Seed Quest reported May 14.

"Extensive testing has shown Fitzroy* has significant yield and disease resistance advantages over the current popular malting varieties Gairdner* and Grimmett for both northern New South Wales and southern Queensland," Ms McIntyre said.

"It is best suited to the domestic brewing markets and that's why the Lion Nathan Brewing Group, along with Joe White Maltings have been running commercial malting and brewing trials for the past two years."

[Photo (left): Peter Healy, Lion Nathan technical manager, Kym McIntyre Queensland DPI&F barley industry development officer and Angus Woods, Woods Grain, Goondiwindi toast the release of Fitzroy barley.]

Fitzroy* was bred by the Department of Primary Industries Victoria (DPIV) and evaluated in the north eastern Australia cropping zones by the QDPI&F and New South Wales Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI) through the Northern Region Barley Improvement Program.

"The excellent collaboration of the various organisations involved in the evaluation was a major influence the naming of this variety," Ms McIntyre said.
