Czech Republic: Government to inspect Budvar Brewery
The Czech Government plans to inspect Budvar brewery in order to find out
whether its contracts, including the recent distribution deal with long-time US rival
Anheuser Busch, are advantageous, Deutsche Presse-Agentur reported April 2.
Trade Minister Martin Riman recently said that the deal between the two companies
lowers Budvar's value.
The brewery's general manager, Jiri Bocek, countered
that it will take at least until September before the contract's benefits could be
assessed, the Hospodarske noviny daily reported.
The brewery, which according
to Riman's recent remarks has a brand value of between 20 and 30 billion koruny (932
million and 1.4 billion dollars), has been involved in a worldwide legal battle with
Anheuser Busch over the Budweiser trademark for almost a century.
In January
the two rivals struck a deal in which Anheuser Busch, which is seen as an important
bidder in any future privatization, is to distribute Budvar's lager across the United
States under the Czechvar brand name.
The Czech centre-right government
recently conceded to a possible future sale of Budweiser Budvar, the last major Czech
brewery remaining in state hands, in order to raise budget revenues, earlier reports
said.

USA: Boston Beer Company signs brewing agreement with City Brewing Company to brew some of its beer in Latrobe
The Boston Beer Company announced that it has signed an agreement with a wholly-owned
subsidiary of City Brewing Company to brew some of its beer in Latrobe, Pennsylvania,
according to Boston Beer Company’s press release, April 3.
Boston Beer and
City Brewing will immediately begin work to upgrade the brewery by purchasing equipment
to allow for Samuel Adams' traditional brewing process, use of proprietary yeasts
and extended aging time, and beer bottling and kegging. Brewing of Boston Beer products
is expected to begin during the second quarter.
"This agreement gives us
increased flexibility," said Martin Roper, President & CEO of The Boston Beer Company.
"With increased interest from drinkers in high-quality, full flavored craft beers
like Samuel Adams, our sales grew 17% in 2006. We felt it was important that we arrange
additional brewing capacity to augment what we can brew in our other brewing locations
and provide security and flexibility of supply while we continue to review our long-term
brewing strategy. We chose the Latrobe site because it has a classic brewhouse and
because of our solid partnership with City Brewing at their brewery in La Crosse,
Wisconsin dating back to 2002."
This agreement with City Brewing Company
is not expected

Uzbekistan: BBH’s Sarbast Plus to open brewery in Tashkent in June
The Sarbast Plus joint venture, which is controlled by Baltic Beverages Holding
(BBH), is planning to launch production at a brewery in Tashkent in June 2007,
a source at Sarbast told Interfax News Agency, March 29.
"We are planning
to start production at the start of the season in June," the source said.
The
construction of the brewery is in its final stages. "Technological equipment is being
installed, and is 80%-85% completed," the company representative said.
The
brewery will produce one new local brand in the premium segment to be sold in the
country - Sarbast, which was developed with the use of European technologies.
The joint venture is not planning to produce the traditional BBH brands.
BBH and Sarbast Plus set up the Sarbast Plus joint venture in 2006. BBH has a
75.1% stake in the joint venture, while the Uzbek company owns 24.9%.

Australia: 2006/07 barley pools closed, new pools opened
ABB Grain has closed its 2006/07 No.2 malting and feed barley pools, with
a No.3 pool open to receive late deliveries or transfers of warehoused grain, according
to company’s news room, April 2.
The No.2 pools closed with gross indicators
of $333-$338/t for malting 1 barley and AU$229/t for feed 1 barley. The No.1 pools,
which closed on 24 January 2007, have current gross pool indicators of AU$338/t for
malting 1 barley and AU$246/t for feed 1 barley.
ABB’s executive manager group
marketing, Gary Spiel, said the No. 2 pools were closed to protect the equity of
growers who had delivered into them, in line with recent market conditions and expectations.
“What we are seeing at the moment is an expected return to normal production
globally, that will see prices coming off. This is likely to occur in the absence
of significant adverse weather conditions,” Mr Spiel said.
“New crop northern
hemisphere prices are being quoted at a discount to old crop prices, a trend which
is also becoming evident in the domestic market. With the potential on-set of normal
seasonal rains we may see prices start to decline.
“The recent increase
in the exchange rate – today hitting
