Malt news Zambia: Zambian Breweries to build malting plant in Lusaka
Zambian Breweries will commence the construction of a US$32.6 million malting plant in the Lusaka South Multi-Facility Economic Zone (MFEZ) in the second half of 2014. The construction of the malting plant is part of the company's plan of local sourcing barley programme in support of the Zambia's agricultural development, Allafrica.com reported on January 14.

The firm said despite the anticipation of the impact of the excise rate increase, it will not affect its investment in malting plant but has, among other investments, pulled back its plan to invest $15 million in a new packaging line at the Ndola Brewery.

ZB corporate affairs manager Yuyo Nachali-Kambikambi said the company was expected to begin the construction of the malting plant in the second half of this year.

In an interview in Lusaka on January 13, Nachali-Kambikambi was confident that the company would engage local suppliers during the construction phase but could not, however, disclose the number of jobs to be created.

"We are still looking at the contractual issues, our suppliers and the equipment that needs to be bought so we will be able to say something before we start because right now it is too early to talk about how many jobs will be ...More info on site

Brewery news Brazil: Premium beer industry grows in Brazil
When Marcelo Ramos opened a bar in one of Rio de Janeiro’s biggest slums selling Belgian beer for R$200 ($83) a bottle, his friends thought he had lost his mind, Financial Times reported on January 20.

“They all told me: you’re crazy, you’re throwing your money away – people here are poor!”, says Ramos, a 39-year-old mobile phone technician who set up the bar in his father-in-law’s garage at the end of 2012.

Just over a year later his Bistrô Estação R & R (Bistro Stop R & R) in Rio’s Complexo do Alemão favela now sells more than 200 beers – the most expensive of which is Belgium’s Deus champagne beer.

But it is not just the residents of Rio’s slums that have started to venture away from the country’s notoriously bland mainstream beers. While total lager sales across Brazil rose 92 per cent from 2007 to $44.37 bln in 2012, premium lager sales jumped 131% over the same period. Imported premium lager sales surged 184%.

For investors, the niche market offers one of the few remaining bright spots in Brazil, where slowing economic growth and rising indebtedness have cast a shadow over mainstream beer sales and many other previously buoyant consumer industries.

Brewery news Australia: Coopers Brewery had highest selling month on record in December 2013
For the first time in the company’s history, Coopers Brewery passed 70 million litres in beer sales last year, FOOD Magazine – Australia reported on January 22.

Total sales for the year reached 72 million litres, up 4.7 percent on the 68.8 million litres sold in 2012.

“December 2013 was our highest selling month on record, with 8.55 million litres of beer sold. This was 13 percent more than the previous record month in December 2012,” said managing director, Tim Cooper.

December also saw record sales of Coopers Original Pale Ale and Coopers Sparking Ale, at almost 400,000 and 100,000 cases sold, respectively.

“A significant portion of our growth for 2013 can be attributed to our international beer portfolio, as well as good growth from the mid-strength Coopers Mild Ale. Strong sales in Pale Ale and Sparkling Ale also drove the volume increase,” Cooper said.

He said the ongoing growth of the company at a time when total beer consumption in Australia was falling was pleasing.

“Coopers has enjoyed average growth of more than 9.8 percent per year for the past 20 years and now represents more than 4.5 percent of the total Australian beer market.

“The second bottling line, opened in December, will provide greater flexibility ...More info on site


Brewery news Australia: Restrictive supply contracts prevent small brewers from selling beer to pubs and hotels
The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission is investigating brewing giants CUB and Lion over their use of "tap contracts" to prevent hotel owners from selling rival beers, after a number of small operators complained that they could not sell their beer to pubs, The Australian reported on January 22.

The Commission has written to several small brewers asking for information "to better understand aspects of the supply conditions within the wholesale draught beer market" so it can assess whether "certain conduct" might be prohibited under the Competition and Consumer Act.

It is understood that the letter goes on to question the brewers on whether they have been unable to sell to venues because the publicans had signed restrictive supply contracts with the major brewers preventing them from stocking competitors' beers.

Queensland brewer Wade Curtis, who posted his letter from the ACCC on Facebook and Twitter this week, said he had complained to the regulator three years ago about being unable to sell his Four Hearts beer to pubs because all of their taps were under contract.

"I had just started my own craft brewing business and had a launch at a venue in Brisbane -- we got through two or three kegs, they were ...More info on site


Brewery news Romania: Romania ranks sixth in Europe for beer consumption
Romania ranks sixth in Europe in terms of beer consumption, but ranks last when it comes to exports, according to the recent Contribution Made by Beer to the European Economy report, quoted by local business daily Ziarul Financiar and Romania-Insider.com.

With a consumption of 90 litres per capita in 2012, Romania is 20 percent above the European average.

However, while the European countries export, on average, 19 percent of the output, Romania delivers only 2 percent of its production to other countries.

And while over 850 breweries have been established in Europe between 2010 and 2012, Romania has lost four production centres.

The beer market in Romania went up by 7 percent in 2012, to some 18.2 million hectolitres, according to the Romanian Brewers Association.


Brewery news Zimbabwe: Delta Corporation closes opaque beer breweries in Marondera and Karoi
Delta Corporation is closing its Marondera and Karoi opaque beer breweries in Zimbabwe in a rationalisation process that will result in more closures as the company consolidates production and marketing of its new product, Chibuku Super, The Zimbabwe Standard quoted the company on January 19.

The company said Chibuku Super has a longer shelf life than opaque brew. New technology and machinery necessitated the changes as the company now produces Chibuku Super with a 21-day shelf life compared with the four days for opaque beer.

This development is pushing the company to restructure its production plants, marketing and distribution models.

Delta company secretary, Alex Makamure confirmed the closure of the breweries as a result of the rationalisation strategy.

“The national establishment of 15 sorghum beer breweries was also part of the distribution network due to the limited shelf life of the product,” said Makamure. “Chibuku Super is a result of a significant leap in product innovation and manufacturing technologies for this category, which allows for the establishment of mega breweries. The increase in shelf life will result in the redundancy of some of the production sites.”

He however hastened to say that no permanent jobs would be lost in the process.

“As a consequence, we will ...More info on site

Whisky news Japan & India: Suntory denies trying to buy Whyte & Mackay whiskey
Suntory Holdings Ltd., which last week agreed to buy Beam Inc. for $16 billion, is not in talks to acquire the Whyte & Mackay business from India’s United Spirits Ltd. (UNSP), Bloomberg.com quoted Naoko Tsuda, a company spokeswoman, on January 21.

Billionaire Nobutada Saji’s whiskey and soft-drinks company denied a report by India’s CNBC TV18 network on January 20 that the Osaka-based company had offered to buy Scotch whisky maker Whyte & Mackay and valued it at less than $1 billion.

Diageo, the world’s biggest distiller, last year agreed to buy a controlling stake in United Spirits that would give it control of Whyte & Mackay. The London-based company in November offered to sell most of the Whyte & Mackay whiskey business after U.K. regulators expressed competition concerns.

Prakash Mirpuri, a spokesman for Bangalore-based United Spirits and UB Group, declined to comment.

A court in India’s Karnataka state in December ruled Diageo’s purchase of a stake in United Spirits void, after a petition filed by creditor banks. In the order, the judges said a lower court didn’t have the jurisdiction to approve the deal when creditors had filed petitions seeking to wind up the company for non-payment of dues by its parent United ...More info on site
