The Russia will restrict the sale of beer from January 1, in a bid to combat alcoholism in the country, reported the Interfax news agency.

The Russian President, Vladimir Putin, has already admitted that alcoholism is a serious in the country, which has one of the highest rates of alcohol consumption, according to the World Health Organization (WTO).

President Dmitry Medvedev had signed amendments to laws on alcohol in July 2011 in order to reclassify beer as a drink of high alcohol content.

The new law, which takes effect on Tuesday, restricts the amount of beer retail outlets and kiosks can sell and prohibits trade in beverages between 11 pm and 8 am, according to Interfax.

In 2012, Russian taxes on beer increased by 20 per cent and, according to a Ministry of finance plan approved in 2011, will grow at over 25 percent in 2013, and 20 percent in 2014.

The Russia also raised the minimum price for vodka and outlawed advertising of alcoholic beverages, including on the Internet.

Kiosks Of Russia May Not Sell Beer

By News On Spanish Beer

In accordance with a law that went into effect in the new year, it is forbidden to sell beer at the kiosks that proliferated in the streets and Russian roads after the fall of the Soviet Union. Although these small makeshift shops lost their importance with the emergence of more conventional establishments, new laws could end up completely with a symbol of the vibrant and messy post-Communist free market.

The law was devised to try to combat the high level of alcoholism in Russia. Beer may only be purchased in restaurants, cafes and shops of at least 50 square meters (500 square feet). The law also changes the classification of food beer alcoholic beverage, which means that you can not be sold in any shop from 11 p.m. to 8 a.m. Also combat informal alcohol consumption, banning in public spaces.

Before the rise of supermarkets and stores of food in residential neighborhoods, the prohibition of the sale of beer at the kiosk probably will mean walking few streets more for someone who dies by drinking it. On the other hand, it will affect the income of operators of the kiosks.

Experts estimate that beer adds nearly 40% of revenues for the kiosks, according to Interfax news agency.

“Apparently all that volume will be absorbed by the shops. I think that more than one third of small farms in Russia will end up closing inevitably,”said Vadim Drobiz, director of the Research Center for markets federal and regional Alcohol, according to the news.mail.ru internet site quoted it.

Everything indicates that there will be more problems for the operators of the kiosks. The lower House of Parliament gave preliminary approval to an initiative that would prohibit the sale of cigarettes in the kiosks and small premises.

If prohibitions for cigarettes come in effect, coupled with the bans on beer, nearly 175,000 kiosks in the country might be forced to close, ending with 500,000 jobs, according to estimates by the Ministry of economic development, cited by Interfax.

Excessive consumption of alcohol and tobacco are two of the main factors in the high level of mortality of Russia. For boys born in 2006 average life expectancy was 60 to 61 years according to a report from the programme of the United Nations Development Organization.

Russia has banned smoking in most enclosed public spaces, and the Government has increased the minimum prices for vodka.

In the new year, the cheapest price for half a liter of vodka increased 36% to 170 rubles ($5.50).

Beer Rate

By News On French Beer

This is one of the rare good news for manufacturers of beer in France: the segment of Christmas beer is taking off and WINS new followers. It has doubled in three years! It’s these beers in bottles decorated in the colours of Christmas and which are available to fans by almost all marks from the month of November.

The tradition of Christmas beer is many centuries old. It dates back to the time where the grain is retained not all year round and where Brewers, often abbeys, snuggled at the end of the year, the fall production, developed with summer cereals.

The missing phenomenon was resurrected in the 1980s. It is taking a new face with the more or less successful efforts of major manufacturers in the sector, to “premiumiser” their brands (to improve their margins) and expand their consumers (in order to curb the slow erosion of the volumes sold in France).

In the spirit of the new wines

Perhaps encouraged by the success of bottled water mineral of end of the year, promoted and editions limited and marked with the new year, perhaps inspired by the phenomenon of new wines, large and small brewers redouble inventiveness to create the buzz around their end-of-year production.

Already last year, nearly 30,000 hectolitres have been disposed of in large areas, an increase of almost 30% over the previous year and the volumes doubled in three years! These Christmas beers generate not far from EUR 7 million in less than two months.

Such growth is what make them smile at the giants of the sector who call themselves heavily penalized by the tax increase because it is them, with their brands of abbey beers, which are trying to preempt the niche of Christmas beer.

A duel of Giants

The market leading brands are Leffe (Inbev), Meteor, Grimbergen (Kronenbourg), Affligem and Fisher (Heineken). But in the fight between the two giants of the Danish Carlsberg, which owns 30.5 percent of the market of beer in France, Kronenbourg and Heineken, Kronenbourg subsidiary decided to strike a great blow by launching this year a Christmas under its Kronenbourg brand beer. This is an amber beer that can be drunk during new year meals.

Another novelty, the Brewer is committed to donate 50 cents by pack of beer purchased to rescue people. A clever way to add values of sharing and solidarity to this commercial offensive at Christmas time.

You Have The Cold? Drink Beer

By News On French Beer

This is news that pleased me, I was wondering when is that beer would be considered a drug. Done even centuries it is drunk to avoid falling ill not?

And well, imagine that a very serious study of the Sapporo Medical University (http://web.sapmed.ac.jp/e/), sponsored by the Sapporo brewery, informs us that the consumption of large quantities of hops in the beer would protect us against colds and some serious diseases.

A chemical compound in hops, the humulone, lowers the risk of catching the common cold and would also be an excellent anti-inflammatory. It would also provide effective protection against pneumonia and bronchitis among young people. The humulone appears to be effective in the fight against the virus respiratory syncytial which has not yet vaccine known to contain a report Jun Fuchimoto, a researcher at the company.

You will have understood, if you want to spend a winter without cold, drink beers containing humulone more… either strongly bitter beers.

Keep your receipts for the purchase of beer hopped! Maybe the RAMQ (Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec) will reimburse you for them.

Health!

For Sale Beer

By News On Spanish Beer

Juan Salazar Garcia / the Mexican

City Juárez, Chihuahua-then of the Festival the last weekend that was developed at the seminar for fundraising and where it was marketed beer, the Diocese of Ciudad Juarez Bishop Renato Ascencio Leon, said that “I am not aware if it is sold or not beer;” “I was in the report of the Governor of the State, but should not be afraid, it was not a religious event, was a civil event”.

“I think that everyone may be a beer at his home and at a social event without abusing the consumption, I do not see anything wrong with drinking a beer,” said the Bishop.

Reiterated not knowing or hearing that during the Festival has been sold beer, “is no news if there were for sale or non alcoholic beverages”.

Express question that if it was possible to sell beer in a place where to promote religious values, the Bishop of Juarez said, “if they were banging of chest in a hypocritical manner, I think that you and I in our home, do not leave once in a tale of a beer, and does not mean that we are in a climate of perversity or vice.”

However, he mentioned that “it is very dangerous that journalists take these attitudes as a news”.

He insisted, “I think that you occasionally take a beer or not?” “It should not be timid, and permit do not know,” he replied.

I am commissioned to that – to refer to the seminar, site where carried out the Festival with the purpose of raising funds for the training of new priests- and in that place in the Manager is the rector, and he knows whether or not there was permission from the authorities for the sale of beer.
