37 WHO OWNS WHO…?

This Week in Craft Beer is dedicated to supporting and promoting Independent UK Craft Breweries and the ecosystem surrounding them.

We define Independent as being those breweries who are not wholly or partly owned by a macro brewery. A macro brewery is generally defined as a large, national or international brewery that produces and distributes more than 6 million barrels of beer per year.

Getting a new brewery off the ground is an expensive business, so most have external shareholders in some shape or form, whether through friends and family, crowdfunding, or some other form of investment. In our opinion, this does not compromise their independence, as long as the shareholder is not a macro brewery.

Why does this matter?

Having a Macro as a parent company (even a minority shareholder), gives the brewery huge advantages of patronage, including access to cheaper or scarce ingredients, access to distribution networks, access to points of sale including draft taps and pub fridges etc. For example, in 2017 ABInbev bought the entire South African hop market for its own use and denied access to all independent breweries.
