Brewery news New Zealand: Second-largest alcohol excise tax increase to be a major blow for brewing industry
New Zealand’s Government has announced it will be introducing the second-largest alcohol excise tax increase in 30 years, 1News reported on May 30.

The tax will be increased by 6.65% after a record 6.92% increase last year.

For brewers, it’s another blow to an industry battling to keep up with inflation.

The Brewer’s Association of New Zealand’s Dylan Firth told Breakfast the increase is “pretty difficult” for people in his industry - given current inflation rates.

“It’s one of those things that we can kind of see coming with inflation,” he said.

“So we signalled pretty early with the Government that we can see it happen, and we would like to have a conversation about potentially trying to do something about it.”

He said that while the level of tax is within the Government’s discretion, the cost of business is rising - and it will become harder for brewers to make their products.

“It’s not just producing the product. It’s buying the goods.

“When they’ve got a discretionary option to raise tax if they could raise it by a smaller amount, we’ll look at it.”

Firth wants to see things like lower taxes for kegs at hospitality venues - which has been practised overseas.

“We’ve seen that in the UK, ...More info on site


Brewery news The Netherlands & Mexico: Heineken N.V. to participate in second shares sell-down by FEMSA
Heineken N.V. (HEINEKEN) has noted the announcement on May 30 by Fomento Económico Mexicano, S.A.B. de C.V. (FEMSA) that it has launched an offering of existing issued ordinary shares of both HEINEKEN and Heineken Holding N.V. in the total amount of approximately EUR 3.3 billion (the “FEMSA Equity Offering”) and an offering of senior unsecured exchangeable bonds in the aggregate principal amount of up to EUR 250 million, exchangeable into shares of Heineken Holding N.V.

HEINEKEN intends to participate by purchasing HEINEKEN and Heineken Holding N.V. shares for an amount of 10% of the FEMSA Equity Offering, subject to certain conditions. HEINEKEN will fund the share purchase from existing cash resources and committed credit facilities. The impact on its net debt / EBITDA (beia) ratio is expected to be minimal and will be earnings-per-share accretive. Heineken Holding N.V.’s position as controlling shareholder in HEINEKEN will not be affected.

HEINEKEN and Heineken Holding N.V. will not be issuing or selling shares as part of the FEMSA Equity Offering and will not receive any proceeds from it.


Brewery news Ireland: Diageo confirms delisting from Euronext Dublin
Further to the announcements made on 13 April 2023 and 25 April 2023, Diageo plc confirmed on May 30 that the listing of Diageo’s ordinary shares (ISIN: GB0002374006) on Euronext Dublin has been cancelled with effect from 7.00 am, 30 May 2023.

The delisting will not affect Diageo’s listings on the London Stock Exchange (DGE) and the New York Stock Exchange (DEO). The delisting will also not have any impact on Diageo’s day-to-day operations in Ireland.

With immediate effect, Ireland is no longer considered to be Diageo’s EU Home Member State for the purposes of the EU Transparency Directive (Directive 2004/109/EC, as amended).


Brewery news Thailand: Proposed tax hike threatens nascent no-alcohol beer segment in Thailand
No-alcohol beer, with an alcohol by volume (ABV) between 0% and 0.5%, is a nascent segment in Thailand, accounting for a fraction of overall beer volumes in 2022. However, the threat of a tax hike in 2023 looms overhead. This can disrupt the recovery of the nascent segment from the pandemic-induced volume decline of 16.3% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during 2017–22*, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

Bobby Verghese, Consumer Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “Several no-alcohol beer brands, such as Heineken 0.0, Hite Zero 0.0, Krombacher Weizen, and Bavaria Original have been introduced in Thailand in recent years. These products are positioned as better-for-you options with negligible alcohol content and a lower calorie count compared to regular beers. These brands target drinkers who are moderating their alcohol consumption or abstaining from it due to health concerns or lifestyle changes. Their marketing campaigns are thereby directed at young adults who have entered the legal drinking age, women, working-class urbanites, and active parents. ”

Tim Hill, Key Account Director at GlobalData Singapore, notes: “In late 2019, the Royal Thai Excise Department proposed to raise the tax on no-alcohol beers to prevent them from attracting novice drinkers. Though the tax hike ...More info on site

Whisky news Japan: Craft whisky maker Venture Whisky to build a new distillery in Hokkaido
Venture Whisky, the craft distiller known for its award-winning Ichiro's Malt whisky, will build a distillery in Hokkaido in northern Japan and start making grain whisky there as early as the spring of 2025, Nikkei Asia reported on May 28.

Founded in 2004, Venture Whisky has spearheaded a craft-whisky boom in Japan and has mentored other distillers in whisky making.

Ichiro's Malt was recently named the world's best blended, limited-release whiskey at the World Whiskies Awards 2023. It is one of the top brands of Japanese craft whiskies and its founder Ichiro Akuto is often described as a rock star of the Japanese whisky industry.

The company, located in the Saitama prefecture city of Chichibu, plans to acquire a 6.6-hectare site for the distillery south of Sapporo in the Tomakomai Eastern Area, an industrial zone that extends over parts of the port city of Tomakomai and the towns of Atsuma and Abira, and expects to produce about 2.4 million liters of grain whisky annually, using corn and other cereal grains.

The company says it began considering setting up a distillery in Hokkaido three to four years ago. It looked for a location near a port in view of the need to import raw materials ...More info on site
