Beer Monopoly Podcast Episode No. 24 During President Trump’s first 100 days in office, businesses, investors, consumers, as well as US allies and foes, have been riding a roller coaster, as he imposed and then suspended some reciprocal tariffs on imports at breakneck speed. The chaos and uncertainty unleashed by the tariffs has somewhat abated thanks to Mr Trump pressing the 90-day-pause button on levies above 10%. But what will happen should his administration fail to hash out major trade deals by early July is anybody’s guess. In this podcast Ina Verstl and Ernst Faltermeier analyse the current situation and discuss the actual and potential impact of tariffs on brewers, drinks firms, and consumers. They also remind listeners of what happened when during Mr Trump’s first presidency a trade spat with the European Union led to the imposition of tariffs on Scotch single malt in the US and American whiskies in the EU: Both Scotch whisky and American whiskies lost hundreds of millions of dollars in sales. Will history repeat itself?

Beer Monopoly Podcast Episode No. 23 The Austrian Federal Competition Authority seeks to fine Dutch Heineken and its Austrian subsidiary Brau Union potentially billions of euros for market abuse and violations of the anti-trust ban. In June, the watchdog submitted a 260-page application for an “appropriate fine” to the cartel court. It had found evidence that the beer market leader Brau Union “cemented” its dominant position by using unlawful methods. In this podcast Ina Verstl and Ernst Faltermeier discuss the case, while drawing attention to Europe’s brewers and their previous cartel shenanigans. They wonder why Heineken Austria has been kept on a long leash and allowed to operate a vast number of breweries, while its parent has closed production plants right, left, and centre across the continent.

Beer Monopoly Podcast Episode No. 22 In January, the Chinese government launched an anti-dumping inquiry into all brandy and cognac imported from the EU. Cognac producers deny the allegation. In reality, they have been caught in the crossfire of a tit-for-tat trade dispute between Brussels and Beijing. By targeting cognac, China is expressing its displeasure not just with the EU’s probe into China’s subsidies for electric vehicles, but also with the EU Commission’s plans to de-risk the bloc's bilateral relations with China. In this podcast Ina Verstl and Ernst Faltermeier look at trade disputes past and present and explain why wines and spirits make for ideal targets in cross-retaliatory measures and punitive tariffs.

Beer Monopoly Podcast Episode No. 21 The brewer of Modelo Especial, Constellation Brands, struck it lucky twice in the past 30 years: first in 1996, when Mexico’s Grupo Modelo awarded them an evergreen contract to import Corona Extra into the US; then in 2013 after trustbusters at the US Department of Justice forced a settlement on AB-InBev during its takeover of Grupo Modelo, which turned Constellation into an independent, fully integrated, and economically viable beer industry competitor. In this podcast Ina Verstl and Ernst Faltermeier lift the fog of history and tell an exciting story.

Beer Monopoly Podcast Episode No. 20 Given the recent evidence of Russia’s President Putin seizing Carlsberg’s Baltika breweries and Anheuser-Busch’s Bud Light marketing blunder, many observers wonder if brewers’ early-warning systems and contingency plans don’t need an overhaul in times of rising political and geopolitical risks. The board is supposed to be a company’s periscope to spot any danger on the horizon. But, what if brewers’ boards still seem to rely on their ability to dive under it?
