Category building | The new cider wave really got going only in the second decade of the new millennium. Between 2010 and 2014, seven of today’s ten market leaders in hard ciders, along with a plethora of specialty cideries, were founded.

2020 review | We failed to see it coming, the death toll, the lockdowns, the job losses, the economic malaise. And we still do not get the full picture. The United States and the United Kingdom, two countries hit hardest by covid-19, show the full impact the coronavirus crisis had on the brewing industry.

MegaBrew | In October 2015, the globalisation of the brewing industry drew to a close. The long-awaited takeover of SABMiller by AB-InBev, dubbed MegaBrew, was to render AB-InBev the unassailable leader in the race to global domination. However, five years on, AB-InBev finds itself in an unenviable position. Burdened with debt, it can no longer rely on deals to boost its growth.

Changes | Of course, nobody knows the future, but there are a few observations and predictions that we can make with some degree of confidence: The COVID-19 virus has disrupted traditional consumer buying patterns in all segments of the food and beverage industries, and beer is no exception. Most breweries now have their backs firmly pressed against a wall. Many will fail, but many others will survive because of their strong financial foundation, market foothold and a ton of ingenuity and grit; and these will be stronger once we get to the “new normal.” Importantly, the consumer will have changed, too.

Australian beer | They had it so good. For nearly three decades, Australia enjoyed an unbeaten run without a recession. It sailed through the dot.com bust and the global financial crisis unscathed. Neither fires, droughts, floods, nor the slump in iron ore price could stop it. The economy just seemed to go up, up and up. Covid-19 might prove a major setback.
