Brewery news World: AB InBev accepts Asahi’s around $2.9 bln binding offer for Peroni, Grolsch and Meantime brands
Anheuser-Busch InBev N.V. accepted the around $2.9 billion binding offer from Asahi Group Holdings Ltd. for SABMiller PLC's European premium brands and their related businesses.

The brewing group, which is selling assets in the hope of getting antitrust approval for its roughly $108 billion acquisition of SABMiller, said on April 19 any deal is conditional upon AB InBev closing the SABMiller transaction.

Included in the sale to Japan's Asahi are the Peroni, Grolsch and Meantime brands and related businesses in Italy, the Netherlands, the U.K. and internationally.

Japan's Asahi made its offer for the brands, valued at about $2.9 billion in cash, in February. The sales are part of AB InBev's aim to secure European regulatory approval.


Brewery news Japan: Japanese brewers increasingly making acquisitions abroad
Asahi Group Holdings' latest deal is part of a trend in which major Japanese brewers are increasingly making acquisitions abroad as demand at home ebbs amid a graying population, Nikkei Asian Review reported on April 19.

Asahi previously focused its offshore strategy on Asia, including a business tie-up with China's Tsingtao Brewery. Now Asahi is looking to expand its global footprint, starting with this week's agreement to purchase three premium European beer brands.

Suntory Holdings revealed plans to become a global distributor of whisky, bourbon and other spirits when it acquired U.S.-based distiller Beam in 2014. It is diverting resources to that strategy partly by unwinding a capital tie-up with Tsingtao.

Kirin Holdings is restructuring its Brazilian operations, the center of its overseas strategy, after the business incurred a massive impairment loss. Last year, Kirin purchased a stake in Myanmar Brewery for $560 million, paving the way for brands like its Ichiban beer to flow into the Southeast Asian country's growing market.

The Japanese brewers' overseas strategies are taking shape as they prepare to compete with industry giants on the global stage.


Brewery news South Korea: Hite Jinro’s bonds see oversubscriptions despite prospects of weak earnings
Hite Jinro, a listed beer and soju maker, saw oversubscriptions of its bonds issued earlier this month, despite prospects of weaker-than-expected earnings and financial difficulties on high debt, The Korea Herald reported on April 18.

Demand for Hite Jinro’s A-graded bonds exceeded 100 billion won ($87 million) the company had initially sought to raise to finance its operations and repay its debt.

Its bonds have been oversubscribed by 25 billion won, with institutional investors such as Dongbu Securities, NH Investment & Securities and Shinhan Investment increasing their acquisitions of Hite Jinro bonds during the book building process, according to a regulatory filing.

NH Investment and Shinhan Investment were Hite Jinro’s bond underwriters. Other investors included KTB Investment & Securities, Korea Investment & Securities and Daishin Securities.

Of the 125 billion won it raised through the three-year bonds with an annual yield of 2.6 percent, Hite Jinro said that it will use 50 billion won for debt refinancing and 75 billion won for operations.

Facing high debt, Hite Jinro and its parent holdings company have been liquidating their equities, real estates and subsidiaries to secure cash.

Hite Jinro is currently seeking to sell real estates in Seoul worth about 140 billion won, while Hite Jinro Holdings ...More info on site


Brewery news UK: Diageo betting big on latest craft lager Hop House 13
Diageo is betting big on its latest craft lager innovation with a seven-figure campaign investment for its Guinness branded Hop House 13, The Drum reported on April 19.

The drink is the fourth release under Guinness' 'The Brewers Project', joining Guinness Dublin Porter, Guinness West Indies Porter and Guinness Golden Ale, and the new campaign will see the first TV ad air in Great Britain beginning this month.

Diageo said the push has been designed to drive awareness of the launch and highlight the "quality and craftsmanship" of Hop House 13. The film traces the journey of Hop House 13 Lager from its creation in the pilot brewery at St James Gate, Dublin, to celebrating peoples’ first sip of the drink.

The TV ad will be supported on YouTube and other social media platforms to position Hop House 13 as an accessible option for consumers looking to explore the growing beer category.

Stephen O’Kelly, marketing director, Guinness, said that consumer excitement for craft products has "brought a new energy" into the world of beer.

"The launch of Hop House 13 and our supporting campaign is positioned to help licensees maximise the opportunity and drive incremental sales as a result. The Guinness ...More info on site
