Ireland: Drinks industry demanding a 10% cut in alcohol excise
|
Ireland's drinks industry is demanding a 10% cut in alcohol excise in the October Budget that it says should be the first step in a multi-year plan to align excise rates with those seen across most other EU countries, Irish Examiner reported on August 25.
The Drinks Industry Group of Ireland (DIGI) said consumers here pay 11 times more excise duty on beer than Germans, and 80 times more excise on wine than the French.
They published a report on August 25 by economist Anthony Foley, which shows that overall excise duty on beer, wine and spirits in Ireland is the second highest in EU and UK, with only Finnish customers paying more. Broken down by drinks category, Ireland has the second highest excise tax on wine, the third highest on beer and the third highest on spirits.
They also point out that the steep rate of excise is separate to the VAT that is also applied on alcohol purchases, meaning the Government takes a combined total of between 27% to 29% of the price of every drink sold in a pub or restaurant.
DIGI said the high rate of tax is hard to justify given that the average consumption of alcohol per

Vietnam: Carlsberg inaugurates expanded Phu Bai Brewery

Danish brewer Carlsberg, in partnership with the Hue City People’s Committee, inaugurated the expanded Phu Bai Brewery on August 26, making it the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia, vov.vn reported on August 26.
The inauguration also represents a significant milestone in Carlsberg Vietnam’s ongoing journey of innovation and sustainable growth, highlighting the company’s long-term commitment to the Vietnamese market
With a total investment of nearly US$ 90 million, the project increases the brewery’s capacity by 50%, making Phu Bai the largest Carlsberg’s production facility in Asia. It now ranks among the most efficient breweries across the Carlsberg group globally.
The expansion enables Carlsberg Vietnam to better meet the evolving preferences of consumers, offering a diverse portfolio of both international and local brands. These include premium names such as Carlsberg, 1664 Blanc, Tuborg, and Somersby, as well as popular domestic brands like Halida and Huda.
Through enhanced production capacity and cutting-edge technology, Carlsberg Vietnam reaffirms its commitment to delivering high-quality, internationally standardized, and continually innovative beer products.
Andrew Khan, Managing Director of Carlsberg Vietnam, emphasised that the expansion of Phu Bai Brewery is a clear demonstration of the company’s long-term commitment to Vietnam. As Carlsberg’s largest brewery in Asia, it is equipped with advanced

India: United Breweries invests in new canning line at Telangana brewery
|
United Breweries Ltd, the largest brewer and beer brand in India, is investing Rs 90 crore in a new canning line in their existing Nizam Brewery, in Telangana, one of the two breweries it operates in the state, the company said in a share market notification on August 26.
This comes a month after chairman Vivek Gupta mentioned during Q1FY25 earnings call, how the cans' demand increased, and because of which shortage is making him nervous.
The new facility will be commissioned in a year, and add 0.4 million hectolitres of capacity, which is in addition to the already 0.5 million hectolitres capacity.
Speaking about the new addition, Vivek Gupta, managing director and chairman said, “Telangana is one of the largest beer markets in India, and consumer demand for cans has been consistently rising. With this investment, we are confident of gaining market share in this high-potential format while delivering the iconic taste of Kingfisher, Ultra, and Heineken to consumers in a new and exciting way.”

EU & USA: Brewers, distillers voice concern over lack of tariff relief in EU-US joint statement
|
Trade associations The Brewers of Europe and the Distilled Spirits Council of the US (Discus) have voiced concern following the EU-US joint statement last week, which did not secure tariff-free trade terms for their respective industries, Global Drinks Intel reported on August 26.
Beer exports from the European Union to the US remain subject to a 15% tariff, with canned products facing an additional 50% aluminium derivatives duty. The Brewers of Europe said the “double blow” is weighing heavily on brewers, farmers and supply chain partners, adding that a zero-for-zero tariff deal would stimulate investment and increase consumer choice.
“Beer has long been a cornerstone of EU-US trade, built on a unique ecosystem of collaboration,” said secretary-general Julia Leferman. “Restoring fair and reciprocal trade terms would allow the transatlantic beer market to flourish once more – to the benefit of farmers, brewers, distributors, hospitality workers and consumers in both Europe and the US.”
In a separate statement, Discus CEO Chris Swonger welcomed US efforts to protect domestic manufacturing jobs but warned that the absence of permanent tariff-free trade leaves the country’s distillers exposed to the risk of retaliatory duties returning.
“We commend the administration for safeguarding US spirits from tariffs in the short term,

Estonia: Non-alcoholic beer market booming in Estonia
|
The market for non-alcoholic beer and beverages is booming in Estonia, with sales at major breweries soaring, News ERR reported on August 26.
"The Estonian market for non-alcoholic drinks has changed beyond recognition in recent years," Saku Brewery board member Jaan Härms told ERR.
One of the biggest shifts has been that people are increasingly opting for non-alcoholic beverages over alcoholic ones.
Compared to 2017, sales of non-alcoholic beer at Saku Brewery have tripled, while overall sales of non-alcoholic beverages — including beer, cider and long drinks — have nearly quadrupled.
"At Saku Brewery, we're seeing growing demand for non-alcoholic beverages, so we've expanded our lineup," Härms said.
In 2017, the Estonian brewery, still based in its namesake town of Saku, offered just seven non-alcoholic beverages — six beers and one cider. By last year, that number had more than tripled.
"In 2024, Saku's lineup included 23 non-alcoholic items: 16 beers, five ciders, and two long drinks," the board member noted.
He added that nonalcoholic beverages accounted for 4 percent of the company's domestic retail sales last year.
Jaanus Vihand, CEO of the Tartu-based A. Le Coq, also told ERR that consumption of nonalcoholic beverages is growing.
Beer remains the country's top nonalcoholic choice, with 41 percent of respondents

Belgium: AB InBev discontinues production of Belle-Vue Geuze beer
|
Beer giant AB InBev has decided no longer to produce Belle-Vue Geuze beer in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw (Flemish Brabant) due to insufficient demand, vrt.be reported on August 26.
‘The beer has been removed from our range,’ confirmed a spokesperson for AB InBev following a report in daily De Tijd. Production of Belle-Vue Kriek at the brewery in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw will continue.
Belle-Vue Geuze was originally launched by Constant Vanden Stock, the brewer and later chairman of football club RSC Anderlecht. When he took over the family brewery after the Second World War, he hit on the idea of marketing a sweetened Geuze.
Geuze beer was traditionally quite sour and was often served with sugar cubes. The sweeter Geuze in bottles with a crown bottle cap (instead of a cork) proved to be a success.
Interbrew that was later to become AB InBev bought Belle-Vue from the Vanden Stock Family in 1991. In recent years, the volume of Geuze sales has fallen sharply as consumption patterns have changed.
In 2018, the brewer launched a product that was closer to the traditional Geuze, which is making a comeback, but now the production of Geuze in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw is being completely discontinued. The group insists the halt to production will not lead
