In the end, 2016 did not turn out quite as bad as feared for Turkish beer and soft drink company Anadolu Efes. Thanks to reporting consolidated sales for both beer and soft drinks, Efes achieved 1.5 percent sales volume growth and 2.1 percent revenue growth in 2016; however, EBITDA margin was flattish.

Australian media did not quite know what to make of this: two Liberal MPs discussing marriage equality over a couple of Coopers Premium Light beers while having an open Bible and a TV camera in front of them. The debate was sponsored by the Bible Society Australia and Coopers Brewery.

At first it was a rumour in Chinese media only and as AB-InBev was not available for comment to Brauwelt International, we refused to carry it. But as AB-InBev eventually confirmed it to Forbes magazine, we knew it had to be true.

With a new brewery opening every week in Australia, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for companies to find quality production employees. The skills shortage is not only attributable to the sheer number of new breweries as, in addition, existing breweries are growing and need more brewers. Small breweries are also much more labour intensive than big breweries and there is minimal transfer of candidates from the Big Brewers to the craft brewers, although the majors have lost volume and had to shed jobs.

Chinese beer production fell for a third straight year in 2016. The tardiness of brewers to pursue efficiency gains has stirred speculation that major players may combine.

For the first time in New Zealand, the GABS Hottest 100 Kiwi Craft Beers has been announced. Created by the team behind the hugely popular GABS Beer, Cider & Food Fest, and supported by Liquorland and craftypint.com, the poll started life nine years ago in Australia as a way for craft beer fans to celebrate their favourite Aussie beers on Australia Day.

As if we did not know it: beer is political. Just ask Israeli craft brewers. Late last year, the non-kosher gastropub Libira in Haifa became the target of a shitstorm which threatened to drive away customers. Why? Because its owners had decided to sell beer of a Palestinian, West Bank-based brewery.

So Indian drivers don’t just collectively suffer from road rage, many of them actually drive under the influence. Drunk driving on Indian highways is a menace that has largely remained unaffected by measures adopted to ensure road safety.

Phew. Carlsberg will probably be glad to turn its back on this venture. After an optimistic start in 2006, when Carlsberg built a 1.0 million hl brewery in the country’s capital Tashkent and subsequently bought out its local partner to fully own the company, things began to turn difficult.

Here today, gone tomorrow. President Trump’s decision not to ratify the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP), a regional free trade agreement of unprecedented scope and ambition which was his predecessor’s pet project, has Australia’s wine industry worried.
