USA | How much is a craft brewer worth? AB-InBev’s recent takeover of Craft Brew Alliance (CBA) valued the group at USD 290 per barrel beer sold. That is more than what AB-InBev paid for the Chicago craft brewer Goose Island in 2011: USD 250 per barrel.

USA | In their attack on craft beer, the Big Brewers have brought out the big bazookas and lowered prices for their corporate craft beer brands, especially those packaged in bulky 24-packs.

Brazil | An arbitration tribunal has ruled that beverages produced by Cervejaria Kaiser, one of Heineken’s subsidiaries in Brazil, will continue to be distributed by Coca-Cola bottlers in Brazil through March 2022, the alleged termination date of the original arrangements.
