Europe/Russia
United Kingdom | Is BrewDog finally going mainstream or just subverting conventional advertising? BrewDog has launched what it claims is “the most honest ad you’ll ever see.”
Europe/Russia
Ireland | It seems like a contradiction in terms: an Irish pub with no booze. And yet, Dublin’s The Virgin Mary recently opened and has attracted a lot of interest.
Europe/Russia
Belgium | It’s a lot of money. The EU Commission has fined AB-InBev the staggering sum of EUR 200 million (USD 223 million) for preventing cheaper beer imports from the Netherlands into Belgium.
Europe/Russia
United Kingdom | After Carlsberg put up a billboard across the street from Tennent’s Glasgow brewery, the Scottish brewer responded with a billboard of its own.
Europe/Russia

Europe/Russia
United Kingdom | Is this a joke or real? After 40 years of brandishing its lager as “Probably the best beer in the world”, Danish brewer Carlsberg has confessed that its famous slogan may not be true any longer. In a response to declining sales and negative comments from drinkers, Carlsberg has relaunched its eponymous beer with a new recipe and a more crafty approach to marketing.
Europe/Russia
Germany | More troubles ahead for big food and beverage brands. Germany’s largest grocery retailer, EDEKA, with a turnover in excess of USD 65 billion, is taking on the food and beverage bigwigs. After picking a fight with Kraft Heinz’s tomato sauce, PepsiCo’s multivitamin juice Punica was caught in the line of fire.
Europe/Russia
United Kingdom | And another one goes to – Lion. Australia’s number two brewer, Lion, which is owned by Japan’s Kirin, has followed up on last year’s purchase of London’s Fourpure brewery with the acquisition of Yorkshire’s craft brewer Magic Rock. The full takeover was announced on 29 March 2019. Financial details were not disclosed.
