Introduction 7 Introduction Purpose of the study This study was commissioned by The Brewers of Europe and aimed to quantify the economic impact of the brewing sector in the 28 Member States of the European Union (EU). We have also quantified the economic impact for the brewing sector in three other European countries: Norway, Switzerland and Turkey. The results regarding these three countries are not included in the data presented in the first five chapters of the report as these chapters describe the aggregated economic impact of the brewing sector in the EU only. The current study is the fifth edition of the economic impact research undertaken by Regioplan and EY. The first report was published in January 2006 (covering 2005), the second in September 2009 (covering 2008), the third in March 2011 (covering 2009) and the fourth in September 2011 (covering 2010). Economic impact Three different impacts were considered in order to provide a comprehensive picture of the economic impact of the brewing sector: • direct impacts; • indirect impacts; and • induced impacts. For more information thereon, please consult Annexes I to III of this report which talks to the methodology of the report. Time-series coverage of the analysis In calculating the economic impact of the brewing sector, the report provides an objective basis for evaluating the economic significance of the sector, during the period from 2008 to 2012.

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

  • “Craft” Beer's Competitiveness in Bulgaria
    IZVESTIYA 2016 Vol. 60 Journal of Varna University of Economics №1 PRICE ASPECTS OF “CRAFT” BEER’S COMPETITIVENESS IN BULGARIA Yordan IVANOV1 JEL M30, M39 Abstract “Craft” beer is a special part of the “Wine production” class which attracts even more consumers in the last couple of years. The oppor- tunity for an informed choice of a product or service that satisfies specific needs of consumers shifts the focus from the low price to the product of high value for which it must be paid. The goal of this article is to empirically develop the determinants that influence the choice of “Craft” beer based on theoretically proven determinants of competitiveness of price. The scientific tasks can be summarized as: developing the determinants that form the value accepted and theoreti- cal motivation of its relation with price flexibility; theoretical motiva- tion of the relation between price flexibility and price competitive- Keywords: ness; empirical development of the key determinants of price competi- prices, value, rela- tiveness of the “Craft” beer in Bulgaria. In this paper there are used tionships, clients, the methods of analysis and synthesis, surveys through questionnaires, competitiveness. statistical methods, market research and others. Introduction At the onset of the second decade of XXI C there started a wave of developing new “micro” and “small” enterprises in class C.11.05 “Beer production”. Despite the competitive pressure from leaders in the branch they adapt successfully and establish themselves on the market by managing to attract more real clients. While looking for advantages, they are forced to offer their clients a unique product through which to justify its higher price.

    www.austriaclubwa.com www.austrianconsulateseattle.org WA Chapter Rosemarie Mulholland, President Eva Kammel, Hon. Consul of Austria Michael Brandstetter [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Dear Friends of Austria! October 20, 2020 The times we are living in right now, confronted with propaganda that divides and discriminates, invite us to ponder and reflect. The social isolation imposed on us by the pandemic caused by Covid-19 reveals in stark terms how important family and friends are and how much we miss them. Among them are the regular events and get-togethers of the Austrian community here in the Pacific Northwest. In preparation for the Austrian-American Day and the Austrian National Holiday 2020 we launched the project: INVITATION TO LISTENING AND SHARING Describe your hometown how you remember it and what prompted you to move away Each and every contribution submitted is wonderful and cherished by all of us while reading and reflecting on them. They are moving and thoughtful, some of them funny, others sober. They are stemming from times reaching back to WWII up to recent years. In all of them we can find something that relates also to our own situation and how our lives are enriched by our Austrian roots. These are lasting memories living on well beyond any Covid interruption. We want to express a big THANK YOU to all who contributed. Your stories are bringing us closer together and reminding us of how much we have in common. Enjoy reading! Thank you for your friendship!

  • Nordic Alcohol Policy in Europe: the Adaptation of Finland's, Sweden's and Norway's Alcohol
    Thomas Karlsson Thomas Karlsson Thomas Karlsson Nordic Alcohol Policy Nordic Alcohol Policy in Europe in Europe The Adaptation of Finland’s, Sweden’s and Norway’s Alcohol Policies to a New Policy Framework, 1994–2013 The Adaptation of Finland’s, Sweden’s and Norway’s Alcohol Policies to a New Policy Framework, 1994–2013 Nordic Alcohol Policy in Europe Policy Alcohol Nordic To what extent have Finland, Sweden and Norway adapted their alcohol policies to the framework imposed on them by the European Union and the European Economic Area since the mid-1990s? How has alcohol policies in the Nordic countries evolved between 1994 and 2013 and how strict are their alcohol policies in comparison with the rest of Europe? These are some of the main research questions in this study. Besides alcohol policies, the analyses comprise the development of alcohol consumption and cross-border trade with alcohol. In addition to a qualitative analysis, a RESEARCH quantitative scale constructed to measure the strictness of alcohol policies is RESEARCH utilised. The results from the study clearly corroborate earlier findings on the significance of Europeanisation and the Single Market for the development of Nordic alcohol policy. All in all, alcohol policies in the Nordic countries are more liberal in 2013 than they were in 1994. The restrictive Nordic policy tradition has, however, still a solid evidence base and nothing prevents it from being the base for alcohol policy in the Nordic countries also in the future.
