Europe/Russia
United Kingdom | BrewDog’s CEO was subjected to a vicious online smear campaign, which saw him scammed out of some USD 108,000 in Bitcoin by an ex-lover, The Sun, a newspaper, reported on 27 September.
Europe/Russia
Russia | After AB-InBev's decision to manufacture Leffe in Russia caused an uproar in August, the AB-InBev-Efes joint venture reacted and, on 21 September, announced it will suspend production.
Europe/Russia
Russia | Looks like PepsiCo and Coke are taking the slow boat out of Russia. In March, PepsiCo had vowed to suspend production and sales of its products after Russia invaded Ukraine. It also said it would continue to sell daily essentials, such as milk and baby formula, for humanitarian reasons.
Europe/Russia
United Kingdom | In early September, Heineken bought the 51 percent of craft brewer Beavertown it did not already own, for an undisclosed sum. The deal likely netted its founder Logan Plant, the son of the Led Zeppelin frontman, Robert, tens of millions of pounds.
Europe/Russia
Italy | Galloping prices for gas, bottles, and CO2, as well as the erosion of consumers' purchasing power: If the recovery of tourism has supported beer consumption up until now, the end of summer will be the real test.
Europe/Russia
United Kingdom | Scottish craft brewer and bar operator BrewDog announced the permanent closure of six pubs due to spiralling operational costs and a lack of help from a “clueless government”.
Europe/Russia
Russia | On 24 February, Russia invaded Ukraine. The West has since responded with a barrage of sanctions and appeals to boycotts, which aim to cripple the world’s 11th-biggest economy, stall the war effort, prod ordinary Russians to protest, and deter other foes (namely China) from similar escapades. What are the results?
Europe/Russia
Ukraine | Domestic beer production (until end of July 2022) declined by 32 percent over the same period last year to 7.1 million hl, according to industry body “Ukrpivo”. Beer production recovered during the second quarter, after a massive drop of 50 percent in the first quarter.
Europe/Russia
United Kingdom | Although craft beer has entered its second decade, there are no signs that the segment has reached a peak. Research from accountancy firm UHY Hacker Young shows that hopefuls are still entering the brewing industry. About 200 new brewing licenses were issued in the UK in the year up to 31 March 2022, bringing the total number to 2,426.
Europe/Russia
United Kingdom | It was not to be. Australian brewer Lion announced the sale of its UK-based operations, including the Magic Rock and Fourpure breweries to the newly launched venture Odyssey Inns, effective 8 August 2022. The sale marks Lion’s retreat from the UK.
