Friday, May 24, 9:29 AM Beer market winners and losers: Tracking data from Citi Research showed Boston Beer was the big winner over the four-week period ending May 11, although Craft Brew Alliance (BREW) and Heineken (HINKY.PK) also made solid gains, sales up 10.7% and 7.1% respectively. The market share gains came at the expense of Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) and MillerCoors (SBMRY.PK, TAP) which saw sales slip during the same period. Comment! [Consumer, Global & FX]
Wednesday, May 22, 6:26 AM Molson Coors Brewing Company (TAP) declares $0.32/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 2.43%. For shareholders of record May 31. Payable June 17. Ex-div date May 29. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
Friday, May 17, 9:13 AM Big beer companies including Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD), Molson Coors (TAP), SABMiller (SBMRY.PK), Heineken (HINKY.PK), and Constellation Brands (STZ) support legislation that they say would take away some of the advantages craft brewers have on excise taxes. While separating the big boys like A-B from smaller local players is pretty easy, things get more confusing when trying to label brewers such as Boston Beer (SAM) and Craft Brew Alliance (BREW) with indy roots. What to watch: Though sluggish beer volume in the U.S. is a major concern, the battle over excise taxes could be just as big for bottom lines. Comment! [Consumer, Global & FX]
Thursday, May 16, 9:38 AM Stifel Nicolaus is out with sector notes and attendant upgrades for some names in the alcoholic beverage industry. Rundown: analyst Mark Swartzberg takes Molson Coors (TAP +1.8%) to Buy from Hold and raises his FY13 and FY14 EPS estimates to $3.93 and $4.36 respectively (from $3.91 and $4.28); Beam (BEAM +1.4%) gets a Buy from Hold bump and a price target of $80; Constellation Brands (STZ +3.1%) moves to Buy from Hold (price target $64, see earlier ) on "attractive multiples" relative to peers and (amusingly) a "portfolio of brands that is [characterized] less and less as 'Corona and those other brands.'" Comment! [Consumer]
Tuesday, May 7, 2:57 PM Craft brewery execs say they're increasingly brushing back offers from big brewers and P-E firms to consider selling their business. The buzz is over craft beer sales which are growing at a double-digit rate, while global brewery sales continue to move up at a snail's pace. What's next: As Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD +0.9%), SABMiller (SBMRY.PK), Molson Coors (TAP -0.9%), and even winemaker Constellation Brands (STZ) get even thirstier for growth, will craft brew companies continue to resist the temptation to cash in? 5 Comments [Consumer, Global & FX, M&A]
Tuesday, May 7, 7:42 AM Molson Coors Brewing (TAP): Q1 EPS of $0.30 misses by $0.05. Revenue of $828.5M (+19.8% Y/Y) misses by $25.66M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, Consumer]
Tuesday, May 7, 7:32 AM MillerCoors (SBMRY.PK,TAP) says total sales increased 1.6% to $1.788B in Q1 M although volume fell 1.9% to 14.51M barrels. Profit dropped 1.2% to $271.9M during the quarter as commodity inflation took a toll. By brand, sales of Coors Light fell at a low single-digit pace while Blue Moon and Redd's Apple Ale performed well. (PR) Comment! [Consumer, Earnings, Global & FX]

Friday, April 19, 4:53 PM Beer brewers Molson Coors (TAP +6%), Boston Beer Co. (SAM +4.1%), and Craft Brew Alliance (BREW +4.5%) all closed with strong gains. News of Anheuser Busch's deal with the DOJ regarding the Grupo Modelo acquisition, replete with multiple U.S.-related concessions, may have helped. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
Monday, April 1, 6:51 AM Goldman Sach upgrades Molson Coors (TAP) to a Buy rating and raises its price target on shares to $63. Comment! [Consumer]
Monday, March 4, 7:01 AM Beer sales in the U.S. registered their first gain in four years in 2012, according to preliminary figures tabulated by Beverage Marketing. Though the 1.4% rise was modest, the shift toward beer from other alcohol options is welcome relief for brewers. Comment! [Consumer]
Thursday, February 21, 6:45 PM Molson Coors Brewing Company (TAP) declares $0.32/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 2.88%. For shareholders of record Mar. 04. Payable Mar. 15. Ex-div date Feb. 28. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
