Australia could run out of beer: CUB and Lion

Australia's biggest beer company, Carlton & United Breweries, and its large rival Lion are both worried that the nation could run out of beer for three months if their breweries are included in a shutdown of industry.

Brewing giant CUB has warned that Australia could run out of beer because it can't easily re-start breweries if they too are forced into an industrial shutdown. Fairfax

The companies both said late on Sunday that major breweries couldn't be turned off and then re-started quickly, and if they were forced to close then it would be up to three months before beer supplies could return to normal once their plants were up and running again.

CUB makes Victoria Bitter, Carlton Draught and Crown Lager, and operates the Abbotsford brewery in Melbourne and the Yatala brewery in Queensland.

Lion, which makes brands including XXXX Gold and Tooheys, warned of the consequences of a shutdown of large breweries if they weren't declared an essential service.

Lion Australia managing director James Brindley said there could be a three-month shortage, depending on whether breweries were deemed non-essential.

“You can’t turn off and then quickly turn back on major breweries like Tooheys,'' Mr Brindley said.

"After re-opening, there could be up to three months of no beer for pubs or bottle shops because it takes that long to grow the quantity of yeast needed,'' he said.

Lion said it was ''very concerned'' if take-away liquor and their supply chains are closed.

"Our breweries are 100 per cent able to operate under strict health and safety rules,'' he said.

Mr Brindley said the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States had all ''kept retail and takeaway liquor going, and the supply chains behind them.”

CUB vice-president of corporate affairs, Julian Sheezel, said on Sunday that the company was ''greatly concerned about no beer being available in Australia for at least three months if beer is not given exempt status, and what this would mean for tens of thousands of jobs''.

The concerns come after Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said earlier on Sunday that the state would implement a shutdown of all non-essential activity over the next 48 hours.

NSW is planning similar measures, with Premier Gladys Berejiklian saying only supermarkets, petrol stations, pharmacies, convenience stores, freight and logistics, and home delivery will remain operational.

"In these incredibly uncertain times people need some normality in their lives. They need to be able to access beer and other liquor at bottle shops,'' Mr Sheezel said.

"You can’t turn major breweries off and then quickly turn them back on. After re-opening there could be three months of no beer for pubs and bottle shops,'' he said.

The United Kingdom and some other countries had allowed retail and takeaway alcohol to keep operating while shutting other industries. CUB wants governments in Australia to ensure the brewing industry is exempt from widespread shutdowns.

CUB said most liquor is sold through outlets owned by Coles or Woolworths, with many liquor stores in the same shopping precinct as the supermarkets, and use the same delivery providers.

I'll take it as a good omen if we run out of beer.

Great bump X Box X - after the 89’ fight back this was the second grandest of any Bulldog function I have attended. Still pissed from it. Felt like a rock star.
