Globalisation | Craft brewers may see themselves as revolutionaries. But when it comes to setting up an international distribution, they have resorted to the Big Brewers’ time-worn models, which built on exports and licensing agreements to establishing breweries abroad, including some foreign M&A.

A French exception | The Meteor family brewery in Hochfelden, at the heart of the hilly Kochersberg hops-growing region in Alsace, has begun the 21st century with the eighth generation of the Haag family at its helm. These Protestant captains of industry for whom beer is the fruit of human labour have not forgotten Luther’s principles; in 2017, Meteor brought out a special edition beer to commemorate 500 years since the Reformation, with the Protestant Church of Alsace-Moselle.

Hard seltzers | The hard seltzer craze has gripped the US. So much so, that White Claw’s shortage in the autumn caused a panic. How could an alcoholic drink that intentionally tastes like fizzy water with hints of flavour, explode into the drinking public’s consciousness and fuel a meteoric sales growth? The answer is: because hard seltzers are refreshing, have fewer calories than beer and appeal to all genders. But will they have staying power?

Craft lagers | Something strange is afoot in the American craft brew market: Almost every brewery is now making at least one blond lager! Why? Well, it offers new opportunities for both artisanal breweries and quality raw materials suppliers.

Beer in Ireland | Call it the luck of the Irish? While Ireland’s craft brewers have been struggling to build a local base by taking on the almighty duopoly of Guinness and Heineken, their bulging portfolios and deep pockets, consumers have moved on to drinking wines and spirits instead. And worse is to come. Once the UK leaves the EU, the whole industry will need to face up to its devastating consequences.
