Brewery news EU: Highest prices for alcohol in the EU registered in Finland
Finland has the highest prices for alcohol in the EU, 75% above the average, while Bulgaria has the lowest, according to latest figures.

The Eurostat survey based on 2012 prices, published late last week, found that Ireland has the second highest prices among the 27 member states, 62% above the average, followed by Sweden and the UK. Of non-EU countries, within Europe, Norway pays the most for alcohol, with prices 188% above the continent's average, with Iceland second, then Turkey.

In the UK, the Wine & Spirits Trade Association suggested the duty escalator system was to blame for the country's high prices. "Tax now accounts for 57% of the cost of a bottle of wine and 79% of a bottle of vodka," said chief executive Miles Beale.

Meanwhile, just above Bulgaria as the lowest-priced EU countries were Romania, Hungary and Germany.

Denmark ranked top in the EU for prices on "food and non-alcoholic beverages".


Brewery news UK: Stella Artois may lose its crown as UK’s leading lager brand
Stella Artois could lose its crown as the UK’s leading lager brand to Foster’s in October, if its sales continue to fall at the rate they have over the past year, The Grocer reported on June, 29.

The AB InBev-owned brand’s sales have fallen 4.6% on volumes down 7%. Meanwhile, Foster’s value sales are up 12.2% on volumes up 9%.

If the two continue on the same trajectory, Stella will be worth £487.6 mln in October, while Foster’s will hit £492.2 mln. If Stella’s sales remained at their current level, Foster’s would overtake it in December.

However, AB InBev’s president for the UK and Ireland Inge Plochaet said Stella’s decline, which has cost the brand £24 mln in lost sales over the past year, was an anticipated result of its strategy to drive value back into the category. Over the period, Stella cut its use of featured space deals by 34.6%.

“Our promotional participation was at too high a level,” said Plochaet. “Of course, that comes with consequences such as revenue, market share and volume in the short term, leading to something more sustainable in the long term.”

Heineken UK put much of Foster’s growth down to Foster’s Gold, launched in July 2011. Foster’s, with ...More info on site

Brewery news The Czech Republic: Plzensky Prazdroj launches new line for the production of beer mixes and wheat beers
Plzensky Prazdroj has launched a new line for the production of innovative drinks that are growing in popularity on the Czech market - beers mixed with fruit juices, malt-based drinks and wheat beers. The investment, amounting to CZK 143 million, will enhance Prazdroj's ability to respond to changing consumer preferences, 4-traders reported on June, 27.

"The classic Pilsner-style lager will continue to be the core of the Czech beer market. However, the market will also see a growth in popularity of less traditional drinks, such as our existing products Gambrinus Juicy Grapefruit, malt-based Frisco, Birell non-alcoholic beer mixed with fruit juice, and Fénix wheat beer. We want to offer our consumers the drinks already out there in sufficient volumes and in a wide range of packs, but we also want to gain more space for the development of new products and variants," says Plzensky Prazdroj 's Marketing Director, Grant McKenzie.

The new line, located at the Pilsen brewery, has an annual capacity of 600,000 hectolitres and ranks among the most advanced similar facilities in the Czech Republic. It allows the company to produce Gambrinus and Birell beers mixed with fruit juices, the malt drink Frisco and top-fermented Fénix wheat beer, ...More info on site


Brewery news Canada & China: Russell Breweries sees huge opportunities for its Chinese JV
When Russell Breweries Inc. first sat down with a group of Chinese investors to discuss doing a joint venture in China, it wasn’t the perfect beginning to a business relationship around beer, The Globe and Mail reported on July, 1.

At its brewery in Surrey, B.C., the Russell team brought a sampling of its premium craft beers, while the Chinese passed around their traditional fiery Maotai liquor. The initial reaction on either side was tentative.

But after a few more sips, tastes began to change.

“They weren’t used to our beer, and I certainly wasn’t used to their liquor,” recalled Brian Harris, chief executive officer of Russell. “But pretty soon their liquor tasted pretty good … and they ended up not only liking [Russell beer] but investing in it.”

For Russell, the maker of such brands including Russell Cream Ale, Hop Therapy and Russell IP’eh!, it was symbolic of how to build a relationship, particularly with a foreign investor.

“We were connected, we spent time getting to know each other, then we hammered out a world-class agreement that is fair for all parties,” said Mr. Harris. “I’m sure that’s the formula for even having a chance at these things.”

Russell signed a technology and trademark deal ...More info on site


Brewery news The Czech Republic: Radegast introducing citrus-flavoured Summer Stein beer
Czech brewer Radegast is introducing a new beer for the summer season, 4-traders reported on June, 28.

Summer Stein will be available in hundreds of pubs around the Moravia-Silesia region. Light tap beer enhanced with the natural aroma of citrus fruits retains its unique bitterness so typical of Radegast beer. This beer category stands apart from mixed beer drinks, so called "radlers," and has no representation in Czech Republic so far.

"I would like to point out that it is not a beer mix, or as we say here, a 'radler,' but an absolutely different beer product," marketing manager of Radegast brand Karel Kraus explained the novelty from Nošovice brew masters.

Radegast Summer Stein is brewed via traditional methods from the same materials as other Radegast beers. During the final phase, this bitter beer is enhanced with the natural aroma of citrus fruits. Radegast Summer Stein has 4% alcohol content.

Barley news Australia & USA: The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission not to oppose ADM’s acquisition of GrainCorp
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission announced on June 27 that it will not oppose Archer Daniels Midland Co.’s (ADM) proposed acquisition of GrainCorp Limited, World-Grain.com reports.

“The ACCC concluded that the proposed acquisition would be unlikely to substantially lessen competition as the merged entity would continue to face competition from a number of sources,” ACCC Chairman Rod Sims said.

In forming its view, the ACCC conducted an extensive public review process which involved consultation with grain growers, industry bodies and competitors about the likely effect of the proposed transaction on competition.

The ACCC’s review looked at two key issues. First, the ACCC examined whether the proposed transaction would substantially lessen competition in any market by removing the existing competition between ADM and GrainCorp. Second, the ACCC examined whether ADM would have different incentives to GrainCorp such that it would be likely to foreclose third party access to the storage and transport supply chain following the merger, which may in turn reduce competition between traders to acquire grain.

Current competition between GrainCorp and ADM is focused mainly on grain trading and marketing in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, where GrainCorp competes with Toepfer (80% owned by ADM) and a number of large market ...More info on site
