...macro-environment; the outside factors beyond the control of a company. It categorises the environmental influences into six groups: political, economical, socio-cultural, technological, environmental and legal; making up the acronym PESTEL. Analysis Political factors Europe has traditionally been seen as the centre of the beer brewing industry. However, the level of alcohol consumption is gradually declining. This is because many of the key markets within Europe are increasingly more aware of the social and health issues caused by excessive alcohol consumption. Governments are actively campaigning against the abuse of alcohol and the possible consequences of drunk driving, ‘binge drinking’, and the long-term effects related to health. These key factors relate directly to government policies and their decisions towards the European beer market. Economic factors As a result of government intervention, there has been a marked decrease in product sales in public premises. As people are more and more likely to drink at home rather than out to bars, the alcohol sales has shifted from ‘on-trade’, where beer is consumed on public premises, to ‘off-trade’, where beer is purchased by retail and consumed on private property (e.g. at home). This has resulted in the increase of supermarket sales, along with the added incentive of discounted offers made by the competing chains (e.g. Tesco and Carrefour). These factors deal with money and economic activity within the market, making this a...

...Generation Fucked Up – Danish Drinking Culture. Alcohol consumption is a large part of many cultures, from celebrations at coming-of-age ceremonies to wishing good health on one’s friends. Denmark is a country which does not sway from this notion in the slightest. Denmark, a part of the notoriously-drunk Scandinavian countries, is facing a crisis: Generation Fucked Up. Generation Fucked Up refers to the Danish adolescents, who, heavy with a culture of binge drinking, are spiralling out of control. Who is responsible? Why is it so? And what can we do to stop it. Binge drinking is a concept that is concerning parents in not only Scandinavia, but worldwide. Binge drinking is when people, often young people, go out and consume alcohol at alarmingly high levels, often enough to be hospitalised. This is most prevalent in teenagers. In most parts of the world, it is forbidden to consume alcohol at all until ages 18-21. But in Scandinavian countries, this is not the case. The students of the Norwegian schools are given venues within their institution to consume alcohol. The Swedish teens are sufferers of the Swedish ‘4-day-hangover’ after every weekend and public holiday. And Denmark tops them off with not only the most lax access to alcohol for teenagers, but the highest alcohol consumption, for teenagers, in the world. According to the World Health Organization, the Danish teens are drinking 11.3L of pure alcohol every year. The Danish adults, however, are not as severe. Whilst...

...second largest brewer,1 announced the friendly takeover of the world’s 51st largest, Royal Grolsch N.V. of the Netherlands, for €816m in cash - 84% more than Grolsch’s value over the previous month. Nick Fell, SABMiller’s Marketing Director, explained the logic of the deal: “[Grolsch is] a fantastic brand. It’s North European, it’s a fantastic product, it’s got unimpeachable brewing credentials and authenticity and credibility. And it’s a damn good product. So for anybody interested in developing their premium beer business, this is an absolute peach of a brand to get hold of… we see huge potential for it in our global footprint, particularly in markets like Latin America and Africa where we’ve got a strong route to market but where the premium beer business is still in its infancy.”2 Grolsch had hitherto focused on developed markets, particularly the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and France, in pursuit of its goal of becoming one of the world’s top 10 global beer brands. Groslch was already the world’s 21st largest global brand, measured by international (nondomestic) volume (see Exhibit 1). International volume had grown to account for slightly over onehalf of total volume and, going forward, seemed to offer much more potential. Drinkers often rated Grolsch higher than larger brands, including Heineken, the top global brand as well as the leader in Grolsch’s home market (see Exhibit 2). And Grolsch had started up a state-of-the art brewery in 2004 that could be expanded...

... Budweiser Executive Summary The current business environment for a piece of the beer industry market is very competitive. Breweries must compete against other breweries, both large and small to remain a viable player in the sale of their beer. Budweiser is a product produced by Anheuser-Busch, an American brewery founded in St. Louis in the mid 1800’s. The intention of the following marketing plan is to not only continue to add to the legacy of Budweiser, but to re-energize the consumer’s appetite for Budweiser and increase the market share of the product. The formula for Budweiser is over 130 years old. The recipe has a unique blend of barley malt, brewer’s rice, yeast, water, and hops. These same five ingredients are what still goes into Budweiser today. We will promote how after 130 years the tried and true tradition of these five ingredients are the building blocks that give Budweiser its uncompromised flavor. In addition to the five ingredients, the seven steps in brewing Budweiser remain the same today. The seven steps are milling, mashing, straining, the brewkettle, primary fermentation, beechwood aging, and finishing (Budweiser Anheuser-Busch). Using the beechwood aging process allows more interaction between the beer and the yeast. This is the unique formulation that has propelled Budweiser into the staple beer which many others have imitated, but not quite duplicated. We will use Budweiser’s unique recipe and brewing process...

...Competitive Advantage Mountain Man Beer Company has been true to its core customer base and product quality since the company started in 1925. The company focused their production on Mountain Man Lager beer that mainly attracted blue-collar, middle-to-lower income men ages 45-54. Distinctive bitter flavor and higher than average alcohol content contributed to the company’s brand equity. Mountain Man Lager had a reputation of a quality beer throughout the East Central region of the U.S. and also held the top market position among other lagers in West Virginia. “The sole brand loyalty rate for Mountain Man Lager was 53%, which was higher than the rates of competitive products”(i.e., Budweiser 42% and Bud Light 36%). Mountain Man had mainly relied on grass-roots marketing strategies using the word of mouth to spread its beer quality and taste. They valued local marketing activities that allowed them to experience personal connection with customers. By locally and independently producing quality beer, MMBC was able to create a strong brand for its Lager beer. The company was known as “West Virginia’s Beer” because of its quality, authenticity and “toughness”. B. Market Situation The decline in MMBC’s revenue was mainly due to large competition from wine and spirit drinks, an increase in the federal tax, health concerns and initiatives suggesting moderation and personal responsibility. Consumers have also shifted their tastes toward lighter beer, which had been steadily growing...

Explicit examples were shown of alcohol promotion exploiting the themes of sexual, sporting and lifestyle success, often in direct violation of advertising codes. Furthermore, many of the advertising examples displayed images of excessive consumption. In addition, the Conference noted...

...Company (MMBC) is facing declining sales and in the competitive beer industry Prangel must make a quick decision of whether or not to launch a new light beer. Many believe that this decision will cause the company to lose loyal customers, but Prangel sees the potential to tap into another target market. MMBC is successful because of the beer’s strong brand loyalty, distinct customer base, effective marketing, unique taste, and higher than average alcohol content. The problem facing MMBC is that its sales are declining, due to substitute products, health concerns, tax increases, and consumer preference shift. The introduction of a light beer will have both advantages and disadvantages, for example, the product launch will diversify the product line, provide assess to a younger or female demographic. As well there is the opportunity to create a unique light beer that distinguishes itself and maintains brand image. There are many potential disadvantages of releasing the light beer, such as, diluting brand equity, decreasing shelf space for original product, it will be costly to product, it could scare off current customers and there are many strong competitors already in the market. Now one alternative could be to launch the lighter beer with a different name; however, then the cost of launching this product will increase immensely. MMBC’s Mountain Man Lager is well positioned because it serves the largest market of beer drinkers in the United States, which is white males aged 35-49...

...Excessive drinking has become one with the “college experience” for students and in hand has altered many lives. Students who are a part of the college campus drinking culture are at risk to encounter life threatening experiences due to binge drinking. Binge drinking can be defined as one consuming 4/5 drinks at least once in a two week span. After plenty of observations, I would say that this definition is consumer friendly. With that being said, I think it is safe to say that binge drinking is “normal” and is somewhat expected among college students. So I would assume since excessive drinking is so normal that one would also consider the consequences but as some of us know, that this is not always the case. Binge drinking can lead to impaired judgment and alcohol poisoning. Both can lead to life threatening experiences. Being on a campus that is known for working hard and playing hard, I have noticed that with excessive drinking comes impaired judgment. For instance I have seen students drink way too much and the more they drink, the more their motors skills decrease or their ability to make sound decisions decrease. Basic motor skills are affected due to the consumption of alcohol, especially if you are excessively drinking and this is because alcohol acts as a depressant on the central nervous system. One can lose muscle control, reaction time is impaired, and basic senses are affected as well, like vision and hearing, making someone less aware of danger and injury. That...

...Virginia’s Beer”. In 2005, despite a 2% drop in annual sales they sold approximately 520,000 barrels and reported revenue close to $50,000,000. Mountain Man Brewing Company’s average consumer is male, above the age of 45 and typically in the middle-to-lower income bracket. With a small number of Mountain Man Brewing Company’s consumers making up a large percent of their sales, it is important for the company to appeal to that small number of consumers, and ensure they are satisfaction to their brand loyal. Competition: Recently, the state of West Virginia repealed the arcane law; allowing retail stores to sell beer at discount prices. This creates pressure on old school regional breweries, like Mountain Man Brewery Company, to try and compete with the “top-dogs” of the industry. Future of the Beer Industry: As beer sales are not largely affected by economic downturns, Sales are however, affected by change in consumer (taste) demand. Current demand: In 2005 light beer accounted for over 50% of total beer sales; putting pressure on Mountain Man Brewery to introduce a light beer line into the market ( or make some other change), in order to remain profitable. Financial Assumptions 1) Mountain Man Brewing Company will only be able to achieve .15% of the light beer industry market share. 2) Mountain Man Brewing Company will spend $1,500,000 on advertising their new light beer in their first year. 3) In association with producing a light beer, Mountain...

...gasses in contact with the water, a highly efficient method for gas control can be achieved. Membrane contactors are widely accepted to control gas levels in liquids used in the soft drink and brewing industries. Some of the applications that membranes have been used for in these industries are listed below. Brewing O2 removal from blending water • Oxygen can break down the final product if it is not removed from the water used in the blending process. For this reason, O2 specifications are typically less than or equal to 10-ppb. O2 removal of pushing water • In breweries, large volumes of product is left in DE filters and piping. In order to collect and use the product, the brewery will pump water through the system to “push out” the beer. • The O2 specification here is also less than or equal to 10-ppb. Low O2 concentrations are important because the product will absorb any gasses present in the pushing water. Soft Drinks/Coffee/Teas Deoxygenation/Carbonation of blending water • In packaging plants, water and syrup are mixed prior to being bottled or canned. In this application, oxygen is removed from blending water prior to blending. • Carbon dioxide can also be added to liquids for precise control the CO2 levels prior to packaging.
