As consumer needs continue to diversify, Asahi Europe & International (AEI) has been working to provide a broad range of options for consumers to enjoy appropriate alcohol consumption in a variety of lifestyle settings and in a manner that best suits their individual preferences.

AEI believes that non-alcohol beverages represent an important option in this regard. To that end, the company has adopted the goal of achieving a sales volume ratio of 20% for non-alcohol beverages by 2030 and is working to enhance its product development and marketing activities for these beverages.

AEI entered into a new global partnership with Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™ for the non-alcohol beer Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% in an effort to enhance the recognition level of the beer and popularize AEI’s non-alcoholic beverages in general as a means of promoting “Responsible Drinking.” Furthermore, at the Rome Brewery, AEI invested 5.2 million euros in manufacturing equipment for non-alcohol beverages, thereby putting in place a robust production structure.

In the Netherlands, AEI rolled out a campaign focused on promoting the appeal and worldview of three types of non-alcohol beer under the Grolsch brand, an iconic beer brand in the country, running between April and May 2021. This campaign helped promote the new options that non-alcohol beer can deliver, such as allowing people to enjoy the great taste of beer even if they are unable to drink alcohol or if they are in a situation where it is not appropriate to drink.

Going forward, AEI will further expand the continuously growing non-alcohol beverage category and promote the popularization of “Responsible Drinking” through its business activities.

Prazdroj Creates World's First Application Advising Farmers on Hop Plant Irrigation

The first mobile phone application in the world that will tell hop growers exactly when, where and how much water they should use to irrigate their farms is a result of the FOR HOPS research project initiated by Plzeňský Prazdroj. This user-friendly application, which works on standard smart phones, has been developed by Czech developers from studio Ackee and utilises hundreds of millions of pieces of data from sensors located on hop farms in the soil, on hop plants, from weather stations and satellite images, as well as other sources. The unique solution should help maintain the quality of domestic hops, which are the essential ingredient in brewing Czech beer and has suffered in recent years due to climate change and weather fluctuations.

Dreher's Corporate Philosophy and Purpose Inspired one of the Best Selling Books in Hungary

Dreher (part of Asahi Europe & International) is one of Hungary's oldest established breweries. The company, which has evolved steadily through 4 generations of the Dreher family, became a role model in premium beers and continuous innovation on 5 continents by the beginning of the 20th century. Throughout the storms of history Dreher endured several serious challenges, but it was able to successfully preserve its existence and dominant role. It received many titles and awards for its brand, products, and capabilities. With the communist nationalization in 1948, the quality approach was replaced by a focus on simpler needs and mass production. The privatization of the 1990s brought the introduction of new products and the refurbishment of the factory, but the focus remained on the high-volume products.
