“Big Beer” needs to reinvent itself
Want to get into start-up Financing ? Here is a good guide for seed stage investments
I honestly don’t understand; how hard can it be for “big beer”? Some (most?) of them have tried to move into craft beer but it usually turns out with a mediocre IPA and a slightly more “edgy” label.
Can’t wait for craft mead to become a thing in Europe though.
Well, at least in some developed countries, beer consumption is decreasing, fro instance in Germany:

Add to this increasing market share for craft beer and sudenly there is little space for growth.
The Telegraph article may be mistaken:
it uses the spread between dividend and gilt yields but that’s not appropriate for global stocks that happen to be listed in the UK (should use a currency basket of sorts), and nominal dividends should be adjusted for tax effects (UK taxation favours dividends more than most comparable
jurisdictions).
Agree. But I would say it’s a home bias and simplification, as they focus into UK audience…
