The death of William T (Bill) Cooper at the age of 82 on 11 November 2015 after a long illness is noted with sincere regret. Bill, the father of current Managing Director Dr Tim Cooper, joined the family-owned Coopers brewery in 1960 and was responsible for Marketing and Sales from 1965 to 1985, and, in addition, became Director and Secretary in 1969. He was appointed Managing Director in 1977, a position he held until retiring in January 2002, and remained a Director until 2009 when he was replaced by his daughter, Melanie, who became the first woman on Coopers’ board.

Funny that. Asahi seems to value craft beer in Australia but cannot develop the category at home, where craft beer accounted for less than 1 percent of sales in 2013. Not so in Australia, where craft beer is a growth category. No wonder, on 28 September 2015 the Japanese beer giant Asahi bought its second Australian boutique brewer in as many years, taking over the well-established Melbourne-based craft brewer Mountain Goat, founded in 1997.

Combined, AB-InBev and CR Snow would hold a 38 percent market share. SABMiller, through CR Snow, holds a 23 percent share, while AB-InBev has a 15 percent share.

With Brazil and Russia in recession and India not yet living up to its promises, is the fall of China a timely reminder that emerging markets are, well, a risky investment? Many wonder these days: is China going to be the new Russia for global brewers? In retrospect, will 2013 be the last year before things took a turn to the worse? In 2014, China’s beer market shrank to 492 million hl. This translates into a loss of 14 million hl over 2013, says the beer economist Germain Hansmaennel.
