Therefore, alcohol producers started to advertise non-alcoholic versions of beer, cider, wine, cocktails mixes and other premium non-alcoholic drinks, which are now growing fast in many markets.

According to Draft Mag, “at the end of the 20th century, Denmark had around a dozen breweries to its name, most conspicuously Carlsberg, one of the world’s largest brewers of industrial lager. A decade into the 21st century, the nation boasted almost 150 breweries.” This microbrewery boom brought in a large variety of craft beers that have tended to do especially well given that “the notoriously unstable Danish weather [caused] an increase in sales of craft beer due to people being driven away from the beaches and into bars or their own homes, where the consumption of craft and specialty beers is higher” (Euromonitor). On a competitive level, Denmark is a somewhat difficult market to compete in on a large scale. As stated by Euromonitor, “beer in Denmark continued to be highly consolidated with the two

  • Grimbergen and CARLSBERG GROUP
    CLIENT STORY Grimbergen AND CARLSBERG GROUP Burned, but not destroyed. Known for the stately gold phoenix on its label, Gimbergen beer is a unique drink. An abbey beer, Grimbergen got its start almost 900 years ago at the Grimbergen Abbey, in a little village just north of Brussels. While the setting was perfectly idyllic, the abbey was destroyed by three separate fires since 1128. Undeterred by hardship, the Grimbergen Fathers rebuilt the abbey time and time again—reviving their homemade beers each time. Today, Grimbergen beer maintains its legacy of hospitality, comfort, and good taste when you want to spoil yourself after a hard day of work, while ensuring a reliable experience. A welcoming pint of Grimbergen brings people together, just like it always has. In 2008 the Carlsberg Group, established in 1847 by master brewer J.C. Jacobsen, recognized the potential of bringing Grimbergen’s amazing beer and its story to markets outside of Belgium and helped launch large scale marketing campaigns to an international audience. One of the world’s leading brewery groups, the Carlsberg Group boasts over 140 brands in its portfolio of beer and other beverage brands and is committed to producing the beverages at the heart of moments that bring people together. Right now, the Carlsberg Group has more than 40,000 employees and sells its products in more than 150 markets. As the Group likes to say, they are living their purpose of brewing for a better today and tomorrow. To build on their legacy of success and keep pace with changing markets, Grimbergen wanted to shift their energy toward becoming a lifestyle brand—showcasing the unique stories and how Grimbergen is more than a beer—it’s an experience.

My name is Cees ’t Hart and I have with me, CFO, Heine Dalsgaard; and Vice President of Investor Relations, Peter Kondrup. I hope you and your families are all safe and well and that you’re all getting through these challenging times. As you probably noticed, we issued our Q3 announcement, including an upgrade of our full-year earnings expectation, already last night. The upgrade is done in light of strong performance in Q3, positive volume development in Russia and China at the beginning of Q4, solid execution of cost reduction; and this, despite the current uncertainty in rest of Europe. We are, of course, very pleased with the new outlook. As said at previous quarters this year, however, the pandemic is having a significant impact on our business. We continue to take steps to protect our people, support our communities and protect the commercial and financial health of the Group, both in short and long-term.

    Annals of the University of Petroşani, Economics, 12(4), 2012, 61-76 61 THE ANALYSIS OF THE BEER SECTOR IN ROMANIA OANA DOBRE-BARON * ABSTRACT: This study aims to analyse a sector of the Romanian economy which is currently among the most sustainable. It is about production and marketing of beer, a product with a long and rich history around the world but also in Romania. The analysis covers a period of seven years and takes into account the dynamic evolution of those market-specific indicators such as: production, consumption, imports, exports, workforce involved, the contribution to the state budget, etc. KEY WORDS: sector of activity; beer sector; beer market; production of beer; consumption of beer; beer sales; import and export of beer; workforce. JEL CLASSIFICATION: E2; L66. 1. INTRODUCTION As the human society has evolved, our needs as well as the ways to satisfy them have evolved so that today we encounter only a few goods that we consume like thousands of years ago. Considered over time either a food or a drink, or even remedy against diseases beer held out until today. The first beers dates back to the dawn of civilization when man became from nomadic a farmer and started to conserve grains, and will discover the drink that would become a true and vital "lymph" of a complex and evolved society. Babylonians knew over 20 different ways for making beer.

In medieval Europe, beer came to be manufactured in monasteries.
