Until the start of 2024 I had never heard of French & Jupps, the UK's oldest continuously operating maltster, established in 1689. When I was offered to visit by my friend Jonathan Mitchell, who distributes their malt via his Northern Ireland-based company Get ‘Er Brewed, I just had to tag along. Malt has always been central to both my enjoyment and fascination with beer, and is my favourite ingredient. You can probably say that water is more important, and hops are more exciting (sorry, yeast) but it's malt that fuels my curiosity the most. Malt forms not only an important intersection between the technical side of brewing, and the creative, flavour-driven element, but for me also provides the most tangible connection to its agriculture – the fact that beer is a product of the land first, and the factory second.Located a 20-minute train ride from Tottenham Hale station in North London, French & Jupps is located in the picturesque town of Stanstead Abbotts, next to the River Lea. Although by no-means small, it's not quite as gargantuan as other maltings in the UK, such as those operated by Crisp, Simpsons, or Bairds. That's in part because they don't produce base malts, instead focusing exclusively on crystal, roasted and what's known as patent malt – the latter so-called because historically a permit was required to authorise its manufacture. French & Jupps produces everything from crystal malts – designed to add sweetness and body – to patent malts that can imbue beer with everything from notes of chocolate and coffee, to bitterness and astringency. You might not have heard of them as a maltster before, but you have almost certainly tasted their malt in beers such as Harvey's Mild, or Shepherd Neame Christmas Ale. But there's another reason you might not have heard of them, and that's because their product was, until recently, distributed via other maltsters, and often re-bagged so none of their branding was present. This is, in part, where managing director Paul King comes in. Joining the company just over four years ago, Paul has had an illustrious career in brewing, holding positions at Diageo, SAB Miller and Anheauser Busch, in roles that have seen him based in Japan, South Africa and the USA. Now, under his stewardship, French & Jupps are beginning to take a more prominent role in their own distribution, but also starting to tell their own, fascinating story in greater detail. I'm pleased to tell you I'm working on a written companion to this interview with Paul that will fill in the details of this maltster's history, while also explaining a bit more about roasted malt on a technical level, and how it's used to make certain beers taste and feel the way they do. Until then, please enjoy this delightful conversation with one of the most interesting people in the beer industry I've had the pleasure of meeting. It's about malt, yes, but also about understanding the vital role it plays in the beer we drink.We're able to produce The Pellicle Podcast directly thanks to our Patreon subscribers, and our sponsors Loughran Brewers Select.

Jaarlijks brouwt dit bedrijf genoeg bier om zeker 8.000 olympische zwembaden te vullen: Heineken! In deze aflevering van Doorgelicht richten journalist Nina van den Dungen en analist Jim Tehupuring de schijnwerper op de wereldberoemde bierbrouwer uit Amsterdam, zodat jij als belegger kan bepalen wat een Heineken-aandeel nou écht waard is. Nina vertelt je alles over de geschiedenis van Heineken en Jim doet een fundamentele analyse.  Het bedrijf  Heineken zet jaarlijks tientallen miljarden euro's om met driehonderd merken die in meer dan 190 landen te vinden zijn. Het bekendste merk is natuurlijk Heineken, maar de brouwer zit bijvoorbeeld ook achter Amstel, Desperados en Sol. Ondanks de grote merkenportfeuille is Heineken niet de grootste brouwer ter wereld. Het bedrijf neemt een derde plekje in, onder Anheuser-Busch InBev en Diageo.   Heineken heeft zijn naam te danken aan de oprichter, Gerard Adriaan Heineken, die in 1863 een noodlijdende bierbrouwerij in Amsterdam kocht. Het bier dat hij, met hulp van een aantal partners, wist te brouwen sloeg snel aan. Dat had Heineken deels te danken aan een speciaal ingrediënt: Heineken A-gist, ontwikkeld door de gepromoveerde scheikundige Hartog Elion. In 1939 trok Heineken naar de beurs van Amsterdam met 2.000 aandelen voor 1.000 gulden per stuk. Al snel werden de verwachtingen overtroffen toen er voor 90 miljoen gulden werd ingeschreven. Slechts 1 procent van de inschrijvingen kreeg uiteindelijk maar Heineken-aandelen toegewezen.   Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog begon Heineken aan een decennialange overnamejacht waarbij de grootste concurrent, Amstelbier, in 1968 ook in het vizier kwam. Door de overname kreeg Heineken zeker 60 procent van de Nederlandse biermarkt in handen.   De dagelijkse gang van zaken bij Heineken werd in 1983 flink opgeschud toen bestuursvoorzitter Freddy Heineken, de kleinzoon van Gerard Heineken, samen met zijn chauffeur werd ontvoerd. De ontvoerders, waaronder de inmiddels bekende Willem Holleeder, eisten 35 miljoen gulden losgeld van de familie Heineken. Daar werd al snel gehoor aan gegeven, maar desondanks was het duo drie weken lang spoorloos. Daar kwam pas verandering in toen de politie een anonieme tip kreeg die leidde naar een loods in Amsterdam. Holleeder en zijn compagnons werden vlak daarna gearresteerd.  Het incident liet een flink indruk achter bij Freddy Heineken, die in 1989 aftrad als bestuursvoorzitter. Intussen namen de verkoopcijfers van het familiebedrijf af, nam de concurrentie alleen maar toe en kwam er een halt aan de overnames. Daar kwam pas in 2002 verandering toen de dochter van Freddy Heineken, Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken, een meerderheidsbelang in het bedrijf kreeg. De man van Charlene, Michel de Carvalho, wist vanachter de schermen Heineken aan te zetten tot overnames en groei.   In de jaren die volgden bleek de zet te laat toen concurrent AB InBev de brouwer SABMiller overnam voor 107 miljard dollar, waardoor de grootste bierbrouwer ter wereld ontstond met een marktaandeel van 30 procent. Heineken had daardoor nog maar 9 procent van de markt in handen.   Vandaag de dag probeert Heineken weer meer marktaandeel te verkrijgen en laat het bedrijf groei zien. Dat is mede te danken aan de nieuwe bedrijfsstrategie die sinds corona is ingezet waarbij er onder andere gefocust wordt op het efficiënter inzetten van kapitaal.    De fundamentele analyse  Voor Heineken bespreken we onder andere de het dividend, de (operationele) winst, de omzet en de schuldratio. Ook kijken we verder dan de cijfers, we focussen bijvoorbeeld op de merkenportefeuille, de overnamekansen en de innovatiemogelijkheden.  De presentatoren  Nina van den Dungen is journalist en presentatrice bij BNR Nieuwsradio. Als echte verhalenverteller vertelt ze je alles over de ontstaansgeschiedenis van bedrijven.   Jim Tehupuring is analist en vermogensbeheerder bij 1Vermogensbeheer. Met een flink dossier aan kennis en jarenlange ervaring in de financiële wereld, analyseert hij bedrijven in begrijpelijke taal.   Over Doorgelicht  In Doorgelicht richten Nina van den Dungen en Jim Tehupuring de schijnwerper op de bedrijven achter je favoriete aandelen zodat jij als belegger kan bepalen wat ze nou écht waard zijn.    Disclaimer  De inhoud van Doorgelicht is geen financieel advies.

Do you want to create a successful team? Then you should start a workplace choir, share a spicy group meal before a difficult meeting and take up pickleball. These are some of the tricks proposed by the guests on this episode of Management Today's Leadership Lessons. Robin Dunbar, University of Oxford's emeritus professor of evolutionary psychology, and the co-founders of leadership development consultancy Thompson Harrison Tracey Camilleri and Samantha Rockey have written a book called The Social Brain, which delves into the psychology of successful groups. In this episode, Dunbar explains his high-profile research on the impact of group size on human brains. His famous ‘Dunbar's Number' theory argues that humans can only manage a maximum of 150 relationships. He has also identified a series of smaller layers in social networks that will make you look at team dynamics differently. Rockey, who was the global head of leadership development at FTSE 100 company SABMiller (now AB InBev), translates his research into a business context, with clear implications for leaders.

Hebben ze eindelijk een record neergezet (nog nooit had Air France-KLM zoveel inkomsten als in 2023), is het er één met een smetje. In de laatste drie maanden van het jaar kwamen ze in een 'perfect storm' terecht. Er was een tekort aan zo'n beetje alles. Personeel, onderdelen en vliegtuigen. KLM moest zelfs toestellen gaan huren, omdat het er niet genoeg meer had om klanten mee te vervoeren. Als er een jaar had kunnen zijn dat de luchtvaartmaatschappij boven zichzelf kon uitstijgen, was het nú wel. Gaat het ten onder aan zijn eigen succes? In deze aflevering bespreken we de problemen van Air France-KLM en de grote zorgen van beleggers. Het wordt er niet beter op, want we hebben het ook over AB InBev. De grootste bierbrouwer ter wereld heeft het gruwelijk verprutst in de VS. Allemaal door een uit de hand gelopen marketingstunt. De bierreus kreeg het aan de stok met zowat de hele conservatieve Amerikaanse achterban. En nu, bijna een jaar later, zit het nog met de gevolgen. Wees gerust, er is nog heel veel goed nieuws. SBM Offshore, Fugro én Birkenstock hebben allemaal recordomzetten gedraaid. Stuk voor stuk overtroffen ze de verwachting van analisten! Tot slot. Ook nog even aandacht voor Oprah Winfrey. De bekende talkshowhost zet een aandeel op Wall Street op zijn kop.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this very special episode Gratitude Through Hard Times, Host Chris Schembra and his guest, Drahomíra Mandikova, celebrate meaningful connection and its power to generate profitable solutions not just for shareholders but the world at large. Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at Asahi Europe & International, “Drahus” (as she is known to friends) shares with us the unique North Star principles that drive one of the world's largest alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer companies, with 19 breweries exporting to 90 markets globally. You will be intrigued to learn about the meaning, power and intentionality behind Asahi's emphasis on four simple words: “Let's have a beer.” It's about bringing awareness and building community – person to person – as the foundation to individual wellness and a sustainable “human-environmental ecosystem.” For Drahus, the first step is the critical one: Pause. Reflect on the talent, passion and ultimate purpose you bring, as well as the legacy you wish to leave. Her values-driven vision has shaped Prague-based Asahi's workplace culture and brought clarity to the company's mission statement. “We have all these goals,” says Drahus, “but to really bring them to life and enjoy the good feeling, we need to be in the present, work together and create connections to step-by-step bring about those long-term dreams.” We are on the road together, folks, and it starts with gratitude!If you'd like to learn more about Chris and his 7:47 Virtual Gratitude Experience or subscribe to our newsletter, please visit this link.Click here to hear more fascinating conversations with Fortune 500 CEOs, professional athletes and entertainerswho have shared their human stories on Gratitude Through Hard Times. KEY TOPICS:If you could thank someone who helped you through some of your darkest hours, who would that be and what were you going through? A mentor with an especially keen way of helping Drahus unhitch from unnecessary catastrophizing and impatience.A Moment of Reflection: About the importance of taking a pause to come into the present, then step into the past through reflection.2030 Legacy of Good: How Drahus and Asahi's company culture have coalesced around a mission based on a multidimensional balance of past, present and future.A Mentor's Advice: About Inner Child work and how it can reintegrate intuition and help return us to the essence of who we are and wish to be.Empathy is Everything: Why Drahus believes that the companies that actually care about the human-environmental ecosystem in which they function will bring profitable solutions to very real pain points. A win-win-win!Embracing Failure: False starts and falling short are part of a holistic learning process.Brand Purpose: About the Asahi brand's commitment to fostering a sense of belonging and community for its tens of millions of consumers.Remarkable Marketing: How Asahi has mounted campaigns that bring people together, helping them feel connected and seen on a personal, human level.The Problem of Loneliness: About the creative ways Asahi's multi-national team is trying to build bridges – old to young, left to right, across lifestyles and geographies.Asahi's Legacy Mission Includes Being Bold:Speak directly and compassionately to tough issues, like mental health.Moving 20% of the corporate portfolio into nonalcoholic beverages.Beer as a vehicle for making meaningful connections.Drahus's Personal Purpose: Making business and environmental growth sustainable.What She's Up To:Coordinating breweries across Europe to build sustainability into their production.Creating a strategy to ensure Asahi becomes carbon neutral.Midwifing a new economic model driven by profitable solutions for all stakeholders – not exclusively profit for shareholders.Action Item: All purpose-filled journeys start with a pause to reflect and re-center on your personal talents, passion and the positive impact you wish to make.Remember: When we are clear about ourselves and our purpose, the work comes into focus – and it becomes easier to shed obligations and distractions that do not serve!Why Do We Do What We Do? From intentionality flows business success and ultimately a healthier, more sustainable world.Parting Thought:Focus on what you want to know say “no” to rather than what's driving you to say “yes.”Resist the shiny things that distract your ego but don't serve your greater purpose or desire to create impact.Meaningful connection is fueled by gratitude – and makes life much, much easier. QUOTABLE“We have all these goals … but to really bring them to life and enjoy the good feeling, we need to be in the present, work together and create connections to step-by-step bring about those long-term dreams.” (Drahus) “You have to have a long-term dream so that you know where you're going.” (Drahus) “Be proud of the past so you can build the confidence and learning, but what is really important is how you bring everything to the present: Your ‘self,' your actions, reflecting on the future and also on the past.” (Drahus) “One of the biggest pain points I see in our world is the loneliness epidemic, the idea that there are a lot of people on this planet who are disconnected or do not feel seen.” (Chris) “Belonging is not about blending in. It's not about meeting people that believe in the same things that you believe in. Belonging is about showing up as you authentically are and being accepted.” (Chris) “My purpose now is really to advocate for a new era for businesses to think about the new economy, where we are moving from maximizing profit for shareholders to bringing profitable solutions for all stakeholders.” (Drahus) “Whether you're an accountant, a lawyer or CEO of a software firm, you can find your purpose and it can be as simple as creating meaningful connections with others.” (Chris) “Years from now – when we've long passed on – maybe someone will look back on our life and say, ‘They made others feel safe, seen and heard.' And if that's your purpose, it's going to be a great legacy – and lead to some good profitable growth!” (Chris) LINKS/FURTHER RESOURCES:Click here to listen to episode 225, featuring Geoff McDonald's insights into Mental health and well-being.Listen to Johann Hari's Ted talk, "Everything You Think You Know About Addiction is Wrong." ABOUT OUR GUEST:Drahomíra started her career working for the banking sector in Slovakia.

In this episode you'll learn how to approach beverage innovation at a project and an organisational level from someone who's been at the cutting edge of global innovation management in Diageo, SAB Miller and Costa/Coca-Cola.Gráinne Gilsenan began her career as an innovation brewer with Guinness and quickly realised that she wanted to write the NPD briefs, not just respond to them. Thereafter her path took her through global roles looking after "Beyond Beer" for SAB Miller and "Beyond Coffee" for Costa. She reflects on the key ingredients to brilliant innovation and NPD and how "killing your own ideas" is the real sign of success.On our Desert Island Drink segment we have the closest thing to an NPD rock star as possible... Steve Grasse. The man who famously pitched the concepts for Hendrick's Gin and Sailor Jerry's rum in the same week. Steve is a marketing agency chief, distillery owner and author, amongst a host of other things. He talks beaver anus flavoured whiskey, the TTB and why we all misunderstand the Dunce Cap (really).Will and Foxy also talk exploding TVs and the World Cup PR disaster for Budweiser.Support the showFor more high-lights and low-downs follow @BizBevPod on Twitter or LinkedInBusiness of Beverages is self-funded and hosted/ edited/produced by Will Keating.Pádraig Fox co-hosts in a strictly personal capacity.All opinions are those of the person expressing them at all times.

In this episode of Story Talks, we welcome Sona Sherratt of Ashridge where she designs, teaches and client directs on several executive education programmes with clients such as SAB Miller, Swarovski, Heineken, Erste Group Bank, Avis, Beazley Insurance Group and Continental. Sona has designed and delivered senior leadership and general management programs for clients around the world. Sona has co-authored a book entitled ‘50 Biggest Management Dilemmas Solved' which was published by Pearson in January 2014. Together we discussed an area close to her heart, something she's been researching and writing about extensively as part of her doctorate: Psychological Safety. This is a broad word that we broke down in terms of benefits and the consequences of not creating a psychologically safe working environment. We covered a lot of ground, managing to discuss the concept of "quiet quitting", the "big resignation",  the "trust equation", and leadership challenges in a VUCA world (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous.) We break these down and leave you with practical tools to navigate a work place and work force that are increasingly complex and where the stakes couldn't be higher.For instance, you'll learn about lazy questions versus questions that move everyone forward, something that isn't so difficult to implement, and could make a big difference in your day to day interactions. Finally, as you know by now, we always ask our guests about an experience that shaped who they are today, and Sona did not disappoint with an answer that is highly relatable and yet unique in its circumstances. It involves moving from India to the US when she was 10, not speaking the language, and walking on an escalator for the first time.

He joined the company's legal department on a permanent basis. Before becoming a lawyer Alex enjoyed a successful career in fencing and took part in the 2008 Olympic Games as part of Great Britain's fencing team. Among other things, Alex talks about how his athletic career influenced the kind of lawyer he is today and his experience of working on the major acquisition of SABMiller while in private practice. 

Chartered accountant and former banker turned shareholder activist David Woollam has stopped 'playing nice' with Tongaat after years of polite and deaf rebuffs. He reckons 'enough is enough' after today's announcement by the company admitting it cannot satisfiy auditors that is a going concern - and as a result cannot produce annual financial results four months after yearend. The group of Tongaat shareholders which Woollam represents has also asked the JSE to turn down Tongaat's request today to suspend trading in the company's shares. Woollam, who warned directors of the company about problems long before Tongaat's accounting scandal erupted, is now demanding that the board resign en masse - and suggests a management team it appointed, led by former SABMiller executive Gavin Hudson, fall on their swords. He told Alec Hogg of Biznews this is the only way to save a company which last month belatedly appointed a business rescue practitioner to effect its turnaround. Learn more about your ad choices.

Cybersecurity vulnerabilities have been plaguing supply chains across industries. According to an analysis conducted by BSI, ransomware attacks on the supply chain have increased by 66 percent in the last three years, expediting the concern of cybersecurity for private companies.     Considering these attacks range from targeting the sea modality to the trucking modality, tools to combat the threat of cyber-attacks on the supply chain have solidified in the last year, making it a central part of the United States cybersecurity policy.  Mark Brown, Global Managing Director, Digital Trust Consulting Services at BSI joins me in a conversation about all this, along with cybersecurity risk and trends that are emerging along with how we can better prepare, Mark Brown joined BSI in February of 2021 as the Global Managing Director of the Consulting Services, Cyber Security, and Information Security business.

There's no doubt about it, flavour is a key factor in the success of any alcohol-free drink, but it's also one of the most difficult areas to master. How do you match the flavour of a single malt whisky, the taste of a session IPA, or the burn of a shot of tequila? Is it even about trying to replicate the taste of alcohol or should efforts be focused on different aspects? In this episode of Table Talk, brought to you in partnership with Kerry, we delve into these questions, as well as the science and the art of flavouring low and no alcohol drinks. We find out just how much work goes into getting the right flavour, including the sniff, taste and session tests. It's no surprise that good quality ingredients are seen as a major factor, but our experts say provenance is becoming increasingly important too, as is sustainability. And find out the one alcoholic drink each of our panel would really love to replicate but without the booze.

Una reconstrucción del contexto detrás de una de las decisiones más simbólicas en la historia empresarial de Monterrey

Casi todos conocemos la cadena de comida rápida Mc Donalds, pero pocos conocen su historia en Ecuador y como se ha convertido en una de las cadenas de comida rápida mas importantes del pais. En 1997 Jose Luis Salazar trajo esta icónica marca al Ecuador. Su primer local fue en la ciudad de Quito y actualmente cuentan con 24 locales en 4 provincias. Pero como todo negocio, han tenido sus altibajos. Crisis económicas, cambios politicos en la importación de sus principales ingredientes, venta de la franquicia, entre otras cosas, han tenido que superar para convertirse en una empresa rentable con una excelente cultura. Su actual Director General, Francisco Boloña, nos cuenta como fue su contratación, su primer año viajando por Latinoamérica para aprender desde adentro de los locales como funciona el sistema, cuales fueron las primeras decisiones que tomó cuando asumió su cargo y como es la cultura de la empresa. Francisco tiene mucha experiencia trabajando en empresas multinacionales. Trabajó durante 7 años en Coca Cola, en ese entonces llamada Ecuador Bottling Company, donde escalo de salesman Channel a Director Comercial para la región sur del Ecuador. También, pasó por SAB Miller, que después paso a llamarse Cervecería Nacional, donde estuvo casi cuatro años. En el 2014 fue elegido en un proceso de reclutación para formar parte de Arcos Dorados, la empresa multinacional de franquicias de Mc Donald mas grande de Latinoamérica, para el puesto de Gerente General. Nos contó que antes de asumir su cargo, tuvo que hacer un año de capacitaciones donde tuvo que viajar por varios paises de Latinoamérica para conocer cómo funcionaba el sistema. Su primer destino fue Argentina, donde se encuentran los HQ de Arcos Dorados, y su primer puesto fue administrar un local del pais. Cuando asumió su cargo, la situación de la empresa no era la mejor, y como Director General sus primeras desiciones fueron revisar los gastos y cortar los que no eran necesarios para ese momento. Poco a poco la situación de la empresa mejoró y con ello fue consolidándose una cultura empresarial que ha llevado a ganar premios como el mejor lugar para trabajar en Ecuador en el año 2018. Sin duda una empresa que ha dejado muchas huellas para sus clientes, para sus colaboradores y para sus inversionistas. La historia de Francisco es digna de admirar. Su liderazgo como ejecutivo es una pieza fundamental en la organización. Los invitamos a escuchar este episodio lleno de sabiduría y conocimiento. Esperamos que lo disfruten.

Allow me to introduce you to RainBeer, a Netherland's based organization that coordinates with Dutch breweries to turn excess rain into beer. Freshwater seems abundant, but when accounting for all the water on Earth, it's in limited supply. To put that into perspective, envision this carefully... A giant 97% of Earth's water is in the ocean, so we can't use that. 3 % is fresh water, but even in that 3%, about 2 % is locked in glaciers, ice caps, and groundwater. That leaves about 1 % of the freshwater on Earth that is accessible and usable by humans. Just imagine, if the world's water supply were only 100 litres (26 gallons), our usable water supply of fresh water would be only about 0.003 litres (one-half teaspoon). In actuality, that amounts to an average of 8.4 million litres (2.2 million gallons) for each person on earth. This supply is continually collected, purified, and distributed in the natural hydrologic (water) cycle. Now that we understand the case of fresh water, we can gauge its impact on Beer production. According to Sabmiller‘s report, approximately 102,5 litres of water is consumed for every litre of beer produced… woah just knowing these stats has made the act of bottoms up uncool for me. Similar to Mumbai city, in recent years, Amsterdam too started experiencing heavy rainfall, frequent rainstorms that overwhelm drains, flood streets and seep under doors. But this problem was seen as an opportunity by Joris Hoebe the founder of Rainbeer. To him, every rainfall was equivalent to beer falling from the sky! Amsterdam being a sustainable city, its infrastructure has transformed city spaces into a sponge for excess rainwater. A crucial sponge. Surrounded by water on four sides, this delta city of some 600,000 people can't flush the sudden stormwater away. Instead, it has embarked on a climate change adaptation strategy that turns every conceivable area into water storage. How does it work? The brewery they work with collects the rainwater from the roof of the brewery and with a heavy rain shower, they collect a thousand litres of rainwater. That water goes through the filter and is completely purified by a microfilter, an activated carbon filter, a membrane filter and a UV filter. With this purified rainwater, the brewer brews a delicious fresh rain beer. Rainwater is softer than tap water and contains fewer minerals. These are ideal characteristics for making beer. Some recipes are requiring 30% fewer hops for the same flavour creation compared to tap water. According to experts, the softness also ensures that the bitterness of the beer comes into its own.

Dubbed MegaBrew, the merger between AB-InBev and SABMiller in 2016 combined the world's two largest brewers. In the following years, AB-InBev unwound SABMiller little by little. But its megadebt has proven a headache. Was the whole thing really worth it?

This week on Brews News Week Matt flies solo but discusses the news of the week with the people making news. First up, he chats with Anton Szpitalak from Tribe Brewing about Tribe's  announcement this week that it has signed an agreement to brew Pabst Blue Ribbon. Anton and his family formed Brewpack in 2012 when they acquired the assets of collapsed contractor Australian Independent Brewers. Later the business added its proprietary brand Stockade and this year changed its name to Tribe when it took on investment from Melbourne-based private equity firm Advent Partners to fund its current expansion plans. And Pabst Blue Ribbon is a venerable old beer brand that has been resurrected as an ironic alternative to the US's mainstream staples. The brand is owned by a Eugene Kashper and private equity investor TSG Partners, which also happens to own 23% of Scottish brewery BrewDog. The Pabst brand, which is currently contract brewed by SAB Miller in the US, won Large Brewing Company of the Year at the 2016 Great American Beer Festival and took gold for best American-style lager. It's an interesting move for Tribe and this is a robust chat with Anton. Then we look at alcohol free beer as this week CUB announced it had launched Carlton Zero, an a beer with functionally no alcohol. While Australia is arguably the king of mid-strength beer, and zero alcohol beers are a growing trend in Europe, the US and Canada, Matt is not convinced that there is the market for them in Australia.   We discuss the issue with CUB beverage innovation brewer Scott Vincent who worked on the development of the beer to learn about how a non alcohol beer is made while retaining flavour, and then we chat with Tim Ovadia, CUB's Director Of Classic Brands & Local Premium about why they think there's a market for it at all. This show is a little different from normal, but this is also why we love the conversation you can have over a podcast rather than the printed news story. Enjoy the brews news of the week.

Simon Shares More highs locally and global for markets. And of course that makes everybody worried and certain we're about to crash. Well we will most definitely crash, just nobody (and I mean nobody) knows when. So as always ignore the doomsayers. Tencent buys a 10% stake in Snap, a clever deal as it gets them into the US market. It also means we now all own some Snap via any Top40 ETF we have with Naspers (JSE code: NPN) in it. Purple Group (JSE code: PPE) results were rough. Ignoring a write down of Real People, GT24/7 made a sliver of profit, Emperor is losing AUM hand over fist while EasyEquities continues loses. With almost 60k users the burn rate for EasyEquities is about R3m a month with revenue of some R800k a month. That's a large gap that needs a lot more customers to close. They do however have the money from Sanlam that tides them over for the next 3 years while they try turn the low cost idea into profits. Steinhoff (JSE code SNH) is back in the bad news on reports that it hid US1billion worth of related party deals. This company has a lot of smoke around for an innocent company. Sasfin (JSE code: SFN) has a price-to-book (PB) of around 1x and that is always a buy signal for the stock. Ungeared and hold until PB is 1.4x or higher, about 12-18 months typically. You'll get NAV uplift, dividends and the price gain above NAV. I have sold my Tongaat (JSE code: TON) shares. The latest update showed that even with returning rain we're not seeing the profits from sugar, so my thesis was right (rain) but with no profit to show for it I bailed. Help us help you, do our six minute user survey. 4 New ETFs from Sygnia. Up coming events; High probability derivative trading Position your portfolio for 2018 * I hold ungeared positions. Too big to work (AKA big deals suck) Brait (JSE code: BAT) has valued their UK New Look business at zero. They paid R37billion just under two years ago. Woolies* (JSE code: WHL) and Famous Brands* (JSE code: FBR) both struggling with big deals and now Firstrand (JSE code: FSR) spending some R20billion buying Aldermore. How many big deal really work? Sure they work eventually, but at what cost and never as management promised. I suspect it has two key problem. Firstly they buyer typically over pays in their eagerness to get the assets, this is especially true when the target is listed and the premium has to be agreed on by shareholders and is hence usually 20%-30% or more. Secondly merging two business is never easy. Some easy wins such as centralised costs like HR can be lowered, but actually extracting value a lot harder. The third of course is the ego of management. Who wants to be boss of some regional business when you can be a global titan over seeing a vast network of losses? My memory says very few ever work very well. Have you got some examples of large deals working? SABMiller worked, BHPBilliton* (JSE code: BIL) worked. Any others? We Get Mail Peter I see that some of the Satrix products are offered as either ETFs or unit trusts. What would compel me to purchase via a unit trust rather than an ETF for something basically the same?

It's difficult to dispute that everyone working in supply chains - whether businesses or individuals - should get a fair deal for the work or service that they provide. But often it can be difficult to define what exactly that deal should look like. In this podcast we hear from the Ethical Trading Initiative's Peter McAllister about what makes a quality job, before looking at two different approaches to ensuring the people and small businesses working in supply chains are properly rewarded for their contribution. Ritu Kumar, CDC's Director of Environmental and Social Responsibility discusses the work she has done with manufacturing companies, while Pamela Cornes from SAB Miller talks about the company's approach to supporting small enterprises.

Anheuser-Busch InBev's acquisition of SABMiller will mean sustained revenue growth and expansion into emerging markets according to Arash Massoudi of the Financial Times. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Simon Shares Sygnia (JSE code: SYG), I got 3.85% allocation which was far from thrilling and have sold my holding. Pick n Pay (JSE code: PIK) results looking good. Margins still tight with trading margin 1.3% vs. 1.2% and share still expensive but turn around is happening. Mediclinic (JSE code: MDC) becoming Al Noor via a reverse take over. They will have 73 hospitals with around 10,200 beds and 35 clinics, and nearly 32,000 employees across Middle east, UK and SA. Keith McLachlan Small and Mid Cap fund manager at Alpha WealthBalwin (JSE code: BWN) are listing on the JSE today as a residential development company. We chat to Keith about his views on the stock and whether he thinks it's worth an investment? We Get Mail Sbu I want to keep my SABMiller shares, how do I do that? Helen My broker says I was silly to buy in a TFSA and should rather buy individual shares as they'll do better.

Simon Shares Lots of new listings hitting the JSE. Here's my 5 words on each. Sygnia - have applied and will sell Balwin - also applied and will hold Waco - bad sector, stay far away Trellidor - why owners selling if great? Capital Appreciation - SPACS not my investment style Capital and Regional - prefer property via an ETF Platinum stocks are all over the place, Lonmin (JSE Code: LON) has doubled since low of 29 September 2015. Aquarius Platinum (JSE code: AQP) is being bought by Sibanye Gold (JSE code: SGL) and Implats (JSE Code: IMP) has raised their R4billion just below current share price. But sector remains tough. The bounce is in part from very over sold and rumours of more deals. Craig Gradidge, Investment and Retirement Planning Specialist at Gradidge Mahura InvestmentsA question from Sharon (below) asked the question, how much to save for retirement? The immediate answer seems easy, the often touted 15%. But is that true? Surely as we're all different we all need different answers? So Craig helps us unpack it all. We Get Mail Sharon How do I calculate how much money I need to invest monthly in order to retire? Also how to optimise the capital growth of one's ETF portfolio? I have been listening to your webinars since 2011. It has been such a help. In 2011 we had 2 bonds to pay off and a car. Since 2014 we are debt free. By learning from your webinars I find you can focus where your money goes ! and make the necessary sacrifices/changes. My problem is that I am so busy squirrelling the money away that I do not set enough fun money aside for my husband and I to do things we could enjoy doing together. Robert Satrix Divi+ (JSE code: STXDIV). This ETF selling for under R2.00. My ETF time horizon is long term. The price is so low, I want to buy but think there may be something wrong with this ETF. Would you recommend buying? Is this asking price "normal"? George Today I shorted my first ever position based the news that SAB Miller have rejected the AB Inbev offer. When the news about the initial offer broke, there was that sharp increase in the price. So my (fairly inexperienced) expectation was that with this offer falling through, that the share price would drop down to where it was a month or so ago. This however has not happened, what is the factor that I have not considered? I am not saying that the JSE is broken. But right now, that's what it feels like. ======= Subscriber to our feed here or sign up for email alerts as a new show goes live or subscribe in iTunes.

Thoughts from Simon Mark Douglas has passed away, sad day for traders and perhaps an important reminder that there's more to life than just trading and markets? Mr Price (MPC) has been sluggish ever since that nasty trading update, seems maybe it coming alive again? Truworths maybe going into the shoe business in the UK. Tough market, not an exciting acquisition. SABMiller, finally Anheuser-Busch InBev has arrived. Maybe.  Keith McLachlan Small and Mid Cap fund manager at Alpha Wealth We chat the soon to be listed Sygnia, ARB valuation, Santova (SNV) cautionary and the general state of the Mid and Small cap indices. We Get Mail Christo In your podcast two weeks ago you discussed the Proptrax SAPY and the Proptrax Ten. In it you discussed how you prefer the Ten over the SAPY because GrowthPoint is too heavily weighted in the SAPY while in the Ten all companies are equally weighted and you like equal weightings. So my question is why? I can understand how it is bad when one company is too heavily weighted compared to others but surely there is a case to be made for some companies to be weighted a little more heavily than others? Especially if you want to track the index more closely?

Britain is a brewing nation, with a long tradition of creating incredible beers to be enjoyed in any number of taverns, inns and pubs.Pete Brown - beer blogger and author - believes that Britain should be truly proud of its remarkable brewing heritage and charts the ups and downs of beer in the UK from Burton-on-Trent's special water via Lloyd George's unsuccessful attempt at Prohibition through to the importance of the glass that we sip our beer from.On October the 1st new taxes came into effect that lower the tax on beer with less than 2.8% alcohol by volume (abv), and raise it on brews with more than 7.5% abv.With concerns across the UK about problem drinking, and debates about minimum unit pricing and glass sizes, Sheila Dillon asks if it is time to re-evaluate our relationship with beer, or can it be part of the solution?Dan Saladino visits the second largest brewing company in the world - SABMiller - at their new research laboratory in Nottingham to see how their research into a new generation of low-alcohol beers is going.The programme also features Mark Hunter, CEO of Molson Coors UK and Ireland (Britain's biggest brewer), Dr Vivienne Nathanson of the British Medical Association, Dr John Holmes of the University of Sheffield, and the BBC's Scotland Correspondent Colin Blane.Producer: Rich Ward.
