World: Molson Coors logs its first sales growth in a decade
|
Molson Coors Beverage’s Miller Lite and Coors Light saw sales growth in 2021 as the company’s turnaround plan began bearing fruit, CNBC reported on February 23.
Shrinking beer consumption in the U.S. has put pressure on brewers, like Molson Coors, whose top brands are Miller Lite and Coors Light. But CEO Gavin Hattersley credited the beers’ marketing campaigns for working to buck that trend.
“On a volume basis, we were narrowly down,” Hattersley said in an interview. “Volume” strips out the impact of currency and price changes. “We came really close to actually growing those brands in 2021, mostly [hurt] — in my view — because of the surge of omicron in the last six weeks of the year.”
After the company reported its fourth-quarter results, shares of Molson Coors rose as much as 5% in Wednesday, February 23 trading.
For the first time in more than a decade, the Miller Lite owner reported annual revenue growth. Net sales rose 6.5% to $10.28 billion in 2021, a dramatic turnaround from 2020 when net sales declined 8.7% as pandemic restrictions weighed on demand.
Hattersley credited the company’s turnaround plan, which involves expanding its portfolio beyond beer, focusing on higher quality drinks and discontinuing brands that weren’t

USA: Beam Suntory sees 2021 sales rise as shift to high-end spirits pays off
|
In the last three years, Knob Creek bourbon has restored the nine-year age statement on its bottles, updated its label design and started selling 12-year and 15-year versions of its whiskey. Prices used to range from $25 to $50 a bottle, but now a bottle can set customers back anywhere from $36 to nearly $200, CNBC reported on February 21.
It’s all part of Beam Suntory’s strategy to shift to higher-end spirits. It’s paying off for the company, which saw sales rise 11% in 2021. And as customers pay more for their spirits, they’re less sensitive to price hikes to offset inflation.
In the United States, the company’s 2021 sales rose by high-single digits, fueled by demand for its premium spirits. The company also said sales from wholesalers to retailers, which indicates real-time consumer demand, climbed by double digits during the year.
One success story for the company’s high-end strategy is its Bowmore Scotch whisky, which saw its volume climb 16% and its sales soar about 50%. To raise its prestige, the brand has partnered with luxury automaker Aston Martin on several occasions, including launching one of the rarest single malt whiskies together in 2020. A bottle of Bowmore sold for a record

North America: Imports of barley and malt are a must in the region this year
|
USDA and Statistics Canada’s January estimates for the 2021/22 crop year in the US are as follows: crop 2.56 mln tonnes (last year 3.72), exports 0.175 mln tonnes (last year 0.350), imports 0.2 mln tonnes (0.136).
Canadian barley crop is forecast at 6.95 mln tonnes (last year 10.74 mln), of which Saskatchewan 2.55 mln (4.4), Alberta 3.6 mln tonnes (5.3). Exports in August 2021 – January 2022 were 1.67 mln tonnes and may reach 1.9 mln by the end of the crop year. The export volume is amazing compared to the crop size, H. M. Gauger GmbH said in their latest report.
Both the Canadian and U.S. markets have a big gap of malting barley, brewers/maltsters cannot find any large size offers. Imports from abroad are a must, and have started to roll. After early arrivals from Denmark of 60 thousand tonnes to the U.S. and Canada, now 45 thousand tonnes are on their way from Argentina to the U.S. Gulf, 30 thousand tonnes being loaded at Rouen for Canada, further two cargoes reported for June shipment from Australia to Canada.
Following their disastrous crops serious supply problems are anticipated for the summer months, and new crop germinating barley supplies in Noma are

USA, NC: Lesser-Known Beer Co. set to open in Winston-Salem this spring
|
Winston-Salem is set to get a new craft brewery this spring. Lesser-Known Beer Co. is currently renovating an old service-station building at 901 S. Broad St., where it will put its brewery and a tasting room, the Journal Now reported on February 24.
Owners Will Loring and Ryan Gramlich moved here from Richmond, Va., to start their brewery, which will focus on traditional lagers and older styles of beer.
“We spent a weekend looking around North Carolina, and when we came to Winston-Salem, we just fell in love with it,” Loring said.
Gramlich has been a brewer in Virginia. Loring worked in craft-beer wholesale distribution. The two friends had met in college, then reconnected years later over a love of beer.
Loring said that Lesser-Known will have a 10-barrel system. It will have a custom three-vessel brewhouse to enable decoction, a traditional brewing technique in Germany and the Czech Republic.
“We just came back from a trip to Germany and the Czech Republic to meet with brewers and suppliers,” Loring said. “Two weeks ago we were in Moravia – it just so happens we’re two blocks away from Old Salem (which was settled by Moravians).”
Loring said that Lesser Known also will do open fermentation, an

USA, NC: HopFly Brewing Co. launching on February 25

HopFly Brewing Co. will open its new production facility and taproom in Charlotte’s South End on Friday, Feb. 25, the Axios Charlotte reported.
HopFly started off in what owner and founder Cameron Schulz describes as a “cozy little 750 square-foot space” in 2017. It eventually grew to about 8,000 square feet in their pilot brewhouse in Rocky Mount. Now, HopFly joins the ranks of the more than 30 craft breweries in Charlotte as it takes over the former Unknown Brewing spot on South Mint.
“Charlotte has the best beer scene in the state,” Schulz, a North Carolina native, tells Axios. “We want to compete and stand alongside the best.”

China: Budweiser Brewing to promote more high-end beer in China
|
Budweiser Brewing Co APAC , Asia’s largest beer company by sales, said on February 25 it plans to promote more high-end beer in China, having seen strong demand especially for limited edition beer gift sets costing more than 1,500 yuan ($237), The Financial Post reported.
The Asia arm of Anheuser-Busch InBev, which has a portfolio of more than 50 beer brands including Hoegaarden, Stella Artois, Corona and Harbin, said it currently holds more than 45% of China’s market of premium and super premium beer.
Chinese consumers are drinking less, but better beer, according to industry analysts. Beer typically costs between 5 and 10 yuan a bottle in China. Premium beer is priced at 10-12 yuan and super premium is anything more.
“Today we estimate that there is only 16% of the total beer consumption in China that is premium or super premium,” while in South Korea it is 25% and in the West 40 to 45%, said Jan Craps, co-chair and chief executive of Budweiser APAC, in an interview with Reuters after its fourth-quarter results.
“If you look at the middle income household and GDP growth (in China), the market will be very attractive.”
Reflecting the strength of the demand for such products, a super

Ukraine: Carlsberg halts operations at its Ukrainian breweries
|
Danish brewer Carlsberg said on February 24 it has halted operations at its brewery in Kyiv, the southern city of Zaporizhzhya, and in Lviv, western Ukraine, due to the escalating conflict in the country, the MarketScreener reported.
Carlsberg, the second-largest brewer in Ukraine with a 31% market share, had taken "several initiatives in Ukraine with the aim of taking care of the safety of our employees in the country," a spokeswoman said.
"We have stopped production at our breweries in Zaporizhzhya and Kyiv and have informed our employees to stay at home and follow the instructions of the Ukrainian authorities," she said.
Later in the day, the company said it also shut its brewery in Lviv, western Ukraine, after supplies of natural gas to the brewery were cut.
Carlsberg has a third brewery in Ukraine in the western city of Lviv.
