Brewery news USA: Younger generation names beer as its alcoholic beverage of choice as wine sales plummet by 6%
Value perception, RTDs, rising prices and beer’s supremacy are all reasons the younger generation in the United States is drinking less wine, according to new research from Wine Opinions.

This comes after US wine sales plummeted by 6% in 2024, with a recent Gallup poll revealing only 59% of 21-35 year olds drink alcohol, versus 72% in 2001.

The study, which surveyed 1,215 Americans aged 21 to 39, offers a revealing look into changing alcohol consumption habits among younger consumers.

Beer emerged as the most popular alcoholic beverage among younger US consumers, with 43% of respondents selecting it as their drink of choice, far outpacing spirits (24%) and wine (19%), according to the study titled Trends Among Beverage Alcohol Consumers in Ages 21-39.

Nearly half (49%) of those who reported drinking less wine over the past two years said they simply preferred beer or spirits. Others cited the rising cost of wine or a general reduction in alcohol consumption.

The report also highlights a growing trend in alternative beverages. More than a third of participants, predominantly women, said that occasionally choosing canned alcoholic drinks contributed to drinking wine less often.


Brewery news Japan: Asahi beer rises one spot to seventh in Brand Finance’s Alcoholic Drinks 2025 ranking in Japan
Four leading Japanese alcoholic drink brands are valued at USD8.1 billion in 2025, reflecting the growth of the global alcoholic drink brands ranked, according to the Alcoholic Drinks 2025 report by Brand Finance, the world’s leading brand valuation consultancy.

In the Beers 50 2025 sub-rankings, Asahi and Kirin remain as Japan’s two representatives. Asahi rose one spot to seventh, with its brand value surging 45% to USD4.6 billion. In contrast, Kirin’s brand value fell 33% to USD2.1 billion, leading to a drop of six places to 15th.

Despite this drop, Kirin managed to overtake Asahi to become the strongest Japanese beer brand ranked with a Brand Strength Index (BSI) score of 77.5/100, and an AA+ brand strength rating. Brand Finance’s research data attributes Kirin’s strength to its ubiquitous familiarity and good reputation amongst Japanese consumers.

Meanwhile, in the Spirits 50 2025 sub-rankings, two more brands represent Japan on the global stage. Suntory Whisky moves up two places to rank 32nd, with its brand value rising 28% to USD928 million. The brand’s growth is largely due to its stable financials in 2024, with a reported increase in sales in the US despite competing in a challenging market. Suntory is also Japan’s strongest whisky brand, ...More info on site


Brewery news Canada: raft brewers warn red tape could sour plans for cross-Canada beer sales
Pouring into new markets - and the cups of millions of new customers - is on the table for Canada’s craft breweries, but some business owners are raising more questions than toasts, CTV News reported on July 23.

A federal agreement is set to allow alcohol producers to sell straight to consumers in most provinces by May 2026, tearing down long standing interprovincial trade barriers. All but one province, Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as the Yukon are on board. Some brewers, however, say the trouble of moving beer across borders outweighs the benefits.

“It’s probably not something that we would look to offer in the near future, based on the logistical challenges and the costs of shipping,” said Jared Murphy, co-owner of Lone Oak Brewing Co. in P.E.I.

Beer is heavy, shipping in bulk is pricey and ideally it should be kept cold. For small producers, those are bigger problems, Murphy said.

However, the plan could create opportunities for transport companies, said Christine Comeau, executive director of the Canadian Craft Brewers Association. She doubts it will move the needle if costs stay high.

“I don’t think that it’s going to be a huge kind of market opportunity for us,” she added.

Comeau said Canadian craft brewers are already struggling with higher ...More info on site


Brewery news Hungary: Small breweries the engines of renewal of Hungary’s beer culture
Small-scale breweries are the engines of the renewal of domestic beer culture, Hungary’s National Chamber of Agriculture and the Small-scale Breweries Association said at a press conference on July 22.

With their activities, small-scale breweries have contributed and continue to contribute to the diversity of the offer, the strengthening of the quality approach and the refinement of consumer taste. Through their uniqueness, creativity and regional embeddedness, they not only offer an experience, but also create jobs, utilize local and special ingredients, and stimulate gastronomic tourism and the HoReCa sector.

Craft and small-scale brewing offer a value-oriented alternative to large-scale industrial production, emerging as a sustainable model in an increasingly conscious consumer environment. In addition, the market presence of small-scale breweries reduces the concentration of large, multinational beer producers, strengthening the choice and competition in the hospitality industry; but according to experience, they also encourage large companies to diversify their product range.

Although the economic weight of small-scale breweries is not so great, their impact is significant: they make beer consumption exciting and value-based, reinterpreting the concept of “beer” as a modern, premium experience. Both segments, large and small, are needed in the beer market, but it is a fact that there ...More info on site

Whisky news India: Tilaknagar Industries reportedly the frontrunner to acquire Pernod’s Imperial Blue whiskey
Tilaknagar Industries, the maker of Mansion House Brandy—India’s largest-selling brandy—is reportedly the frontrunner to acquire Pernod Ricard's Imperial Blue whiskey, according to an ET report.

The board of Tilaknagar Industries is scheduled to meet today to consider a fund-raising proposal. According to the company’s disclosure last week, the proposed capital raise may be executed through equity shares, debentures, warrants, or bonds.

Goldman Sachs, which is managing the sale process, has two other contenders in the fray: Inbrew Beverages, led by Ravi Deo, and Suntory Global.

In 2024, it was reported that Pernod Ricard planned to sell off Imperial Blue whiskey, as this decision aligned with the brand's long-term strategy to enhance its presence in the premium sector, a move similar to that of its main competitor, Diageo.

Pernod Ricard could potentially garner up to Rs. 5,000 crore from this divestiture, marking a significant reallocation of resources towards more premium, high-margin brands.
