|
CoreBev is proud to announce the grand opening of Connecticut Distilling, its new flagship distillery located in the heart of Connecticut: Waterbury, StreetInsider reported on June 21.

USA, CA: Athletic Brewing Company buys a second brewing facility in San Diego
|
Athletic Brewing Company has announced the purchase of a second brewing facility in San Diego, California, US, for an undisclosed sum, FoodBev Media reported on June 25.
The 107,000-square-foot brewery is located on Carroll Way, next to the non-alcoholic brewer’s existing San Diego site on Trade Street. The new facility includes 300-barrel and 150-barrel brewhouses, and will offer the versatility to produce both flagship and limited-time brews.
Athletic Brewing is planning a series of renovations and site improvements over the next 18 months. These include the installation of a new packaging line, as well as enhancements to the brewhouse, cellar and lab to meet food safety and quality requirements specific to the large-scale production of non-alcoholic beer at the company’s standards.
The company expects to begin brewing at the Carroll Way facility in late 2025. It will retain its existing Trade Street location. When the new brewery is operational, Athletic will double its US brewing capacity.
A Ballast Point taproom operated by Kings & Convicts, and connected to the Carroll Way facility, will remain open to the public during the renovation.
John Walker, co-founder and chief product officer at Athletic Brewing Company, said: “We look forward to continuing the tradition of creating amazing brews at

Latvia: Beer imports reach 60% of the market in Latvia
|
“Latvian beer industry is currently at its historically lowest point. We have gone from beer makers to beer importers,” said Latvian Society of Independent Brewers (LNAB) chairman and Labietis brewery manager Reinis Pļaviņš in an interview to LETA, adding that 60% of the beer consumed in Latvia is imported.
According to him, since 2016 Latvians drink more imported than locally brewed beer, which is completely against the interests of small brewers and the state.
“Of the 150-160 million litres consumed, 100 million litres was imported. This hurts us the most, because 150 years ago Latvia exported beer all the way to Kamchatka – the entire territory of the former Russian Empire. Riga and Latvia were basically the beer brewing centre with the biggest, most modern and most capable of export beer breweries All that’s left from then is beer bearing Latvian names imported to the country. Lielvārde, Madona, Lāčplēsis, Aldaris, partially Bauska and Mežpils – none of them are produced in Latvia,” said Pļaviņš.
He said the Baltic market is small, and brewers situate their production facilities where it is the most economically beneficial. This makes the remaining Baltic market into consumers.
“Unfortunately, in Latvia’s case two of the biggest global

Austria: Heineken’s Austrian subsidiary facing fine for alleged market abuse
|
The Austrian Federal Competition Authority (BWB) has proposed imposing a significant fine on Brau Union for alleged market abuse and cartel violations, InsideBeer reported on June 18.
Brau Union is Austria's largest brewery group and owned by Amsterdam-based Heineken since 2003. The BWB's investigation revealed several infractions, including exclusive purchasing commitments, brand restrictions, bundling practices, market and customer segmentation, and strategic data sharing about competitors, which aimed to hinder rival beer producers and eliminate existing beverage distributors from the market.
According to the BWB, these actions were designed to restrict the sales opportunities and market entry of competing beer producers while driving current beverage distributors out of the market.
The investigations became public knowledge two years ago in June when it was revealed that raids had been conducted at the breweries. The BWB and Brau Union confirmed the raids at the time, although the company denied the allegations. The raids were prompted by whistleblower reports suggesting Brau Union pressured regional beverage suppliers to exclusively purchase not only beer but also wine, non-alcoholic beverages, and spirits from them. The brewery allegedly threatened to distribute beer directly if suppliers, fearing revenue losses, refused.
In response, Brau Union contested the allegations, stating they had provided comprehensive

UK: Carlsberg on the verge of submitting a third takeover bid for Britvic
|
Carlsberg is on the verge of submitting a third takeover bid for Britvic after Pepsi gave the potential deal its blessing, City A.M. reported on June 24.
Over the weekend, it emerged that Pepsi had agreed to waive a change of control clause it has with Britvic.
The clause would have allowed it to unilaterally terminate its lucrative bottling agreement with Britvic and make the latter a less attractive asset to Carlsberg.
Britvic’s long-standing deal with Pepsi gives it exclusive distribution and sales rights for brands including 7up, Pepsi Max and Lipton Iced Tea until 2040.
The update comes after Carlsberg disclosed last week that it had made two takeover bids for FTSE 250-listed Britvic, which also owns the Robinsons squash brand, this month.
Both approaches were rejected by Britvic, which said its latest £12.50 per share offer “significantly undervalues” its prospects.
However, Britvic’s board said it would “consider any future proposal on its merits”. An improved third offer at a price closer to £14 per share could come as early as this week.
In a statement, Carlsberg said: “Further to the speculation in the weekend press, Carlsberg confirms that it has reached agreement with PepsiCo, Inc. whereby PepsiCo has agreed to waive the change of control

South Korea: Diageo to raise prices of some of its whiskey and tequila brands
|
Diageo Korea announced it will raise the price of some whiskey and tequila by about 18% from next month, mk.co.kr reported on June 24.
There are five types of items to be raised: Don Julio Blanco, Reposado, Anejo, Malt Rock 16, and Copper Dog.
Diageo Korea said, "We have adjusted the prices of some products in consideration of the consistency of our price policies with foreign countries."
Diageo Korea raised the prices of Johnny Walker Blue, Black, and Red in 2022, and also raised the prices of Johnny Walker Red, Green, 18, and Guinness Draft by 5-9% in December last year.
Meanwhile, the whiskey market, which had been in a slump for a long time due to the images of "dad's alcohol" and "cold liquor," has entered a new heyday in recent years, gaining popularity among people in their 20s and 30s. The number of overseas imports has nearly doubled in two years.
According to the Korea Customs Service's import and export trade statistics, imports of whiskey such as Scotch and bourbon increased 95.3% in two years from 15,661 tons in 2021 to 35,586 tons in 2023. It is interpreted as a result of the disappearance of prejudice against high-end alcohol and the spread of

Australia: Lion Australia to move Boag’s beer production from Tasmania to mainland
|
An iconic northern Tasmanian beer will move some of its beer-making operations to the mainland in response to a declining market and increased manufacturing costs, ABC reported on June 25.
Lion Australia, the parent company of James Boag's Brewery in Launceston, has revealed Boag's beers sold in mainland Australia would soon be brewed there.
But Boag's beers sold in Tasmania will still be made in the state.
Lion Australia managing director James Brindley told ABC Northern Drive it was a very difficult decision to make.
"It's a very sad decision and one we felt we couldn't avoid," he said.
"A lot of the beer produced and packed at Boag's is sent back to the mainland.
"With the ongoing decline of the beer market, the cost challenges that we're all facing and the fact we bring most of our raw materials to Tasmania and send the finished goods back, it was just a heavy cost burden that we couldn't carry anymore."
What that means is some beer production will move to the mainland.
As a result, 13 redundancies have been announced as the brewery drops from two shifts to one.
Mr Brindley said those 13 workers would be offered work at other Lions breweries.
"It's a sad day. People love this
