Europe/Russia
Europe | All things considered, AB-InBev had a good third quarter. It sold 3.4 percent more beer in the July-to-September period compared with 2020, which led it to revise its forecast upwards: It now expects annual EBITDA to grow between 10 percent and 12 percent, compared with an 8-12 percent growth forecasted earlier.
Europe/Russia
Denmark | The beer festival, Mikkeller Beer Celebration Copenhagen (MBCC), was hit by several withdrawals, after several ex-employees at Mikkeller alleged sexual harassment and gender bullying at the firm. This was reported by the website goodbeerhunting.com on 11 October 2021.

But she prevailed in a case against Belgium.
Europe/Russia
United Kingdom | The average price of a pint of lager in the pub could increase from GBP 3.88 to more than GBP 4 (USD 5.45) by Christmas. This is because inflation is expected to rise above 4 percent by the end of the year.
