Belgium | The figures make grim reading. Europe’s brewers lost more than 40 percent in on-premise beer sales in 2020, due to covid restrictions and bar closures. Last year, beer sold in the hospitality sector dropped to 75 million hl from 126 million hl in 2019.

United Kingdom | So now we know: Dragons’ Den, a TV reality show, which has been aired by the BBC since 2006, is not the format to pitch beery ideas to investors.

United Kingdom | From 12 April, restaurants and pubs will be allowed to serve customers again outdoors. They will then be given the go-ahead to offer indoor seating from 17 May, provided they meet specific covid-19 conditions. Restrictions are due to be totally relaxed by 21 June 2021.

United Kingdom | At 2.3 metres in length, North Brewing Company, a brewery from Leeds, delivered the UK’s longest cases of lager on 12 March 2021. The case contained 99 cans with enough beer to fill a bathtub. The longpack of Springwell Pils is ideal for social distancing, the brewery said. It weighs more than 40 kg (88 lb), so it takes two people to deliver it in the company’s van – and probably two more to carry it inside punters’ homes.

United Kingdom | Had it not been for the pandemic, the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) would have celebrated its 50th anniversary with a great number of live events. After all, it has created life-changing experiences for its 180000 members across the country.

The Netherlands | Laurence Debroux’s appointment as Heineken’s Chief Financial Officer in 2014 sent out an important signal: The Dutch brewer was willing to hire an outsider and a woman to this important position. At the time, female CFOs were rare in Dutch multinationals.

Belgium | Belgian media seem to take it for granted that Michel Doukeris, 47, will succeed Carlos Brito, 60, as CEO of AB-InBev before the brewer’s next Annual General Meeting scheduled for 28 April 2021. How can they be so sure?
