Europe/Russia
C&C’s British sales were also boosted by last year’s purchases of Scottish beer brand Tennent’s from AB-InBev and the UK cider assets of Constellation Brands.
Europe/Russia
Organised in collaboration with the Belgian Brewers and the fine cooks association Euro-Toques International, Alberto da Ponte, President of The Brewers of Europe said: “The gala highlighted the brewing sector’s contribution to the European economy in terms of employment and tax revenues and on issues like community involvement and responsible drinking. We also had a frank discussion about key policy issues, such as the need to get the tax framework right.”

Munich media also reported with some glee that Jobst Kayser-Eichberg, who was one of the previous owners, was fully convinced until last year that InBev would vacate the inner city site so that he could develop it.
Europe/Russia
Corona Extra accounts for 90 percent of the distribution of Grupo Modelo’s products in the UK. Other prominent brands in the Modelo portfolio include Coronita (210 ml bottles of Corona), Modelo Especial, Pacífico, and Negra Modelo.
Europe/Russia
Groupe Castel, originally a wine business, was founded in 1949 by nine brothers and sisters and is still run by its founding president Pierre Castel, 84. It branched out into beer and soft drinks in Africa, the Caucasus and Vietnam. The breweries in Vietnam and Azerbaijan have since been sold.

As a Bavarian I have always found it an embarrassment to visit Bavarian-themed restaurants wherever I travelled. Most of them tended to overdo the Bavarian oompah experience as if the Oktoberfest was the only place Bavarians will go to have a good beer and suck in the atmosphere. I won’t tell you what I let myself in when I visited Mader’s and Karl Ratzsch’s in Milwaukee years ago. In the 19th century Milwaukee probably had the largest number of Bavarians away from home. And the places looked it. Hadn’t seen a pot of paint for decades. Being a journalist, I put these two visits down as “interesting experiences”, best never to be repeated.
Europe/Russia
By the time the recession ended earlier this year, GDP was 15 percent below its peak, unemployment had reached 13 percent and the cost of rescuing Ireland’s banks had soared beyond initial estimates.
Europe/Russia
Mr Nusmeier defended Heineken’s decision to instantly pass on to customers in the first half the burden of a 200 percent increase of Russian excise duty. The price increases cost Heineken a loss of volume that exceeded the overall 9 percent market-volume decline resulting from the duty increase.
Europe/Russia
It’s amazing how much a brief fling can cost … even if it only lasts five seconds.

The weather conditions this year had a substantial effect on the spring barley throughout Europe. The harvest is going to be smaller than it was expected. There are going to be problems with the crops that were harvested late. One will probably expect a shortage with malting barley in Europe next year at the latest.
