Heineken has announced its 2024 results with profits up 8.3%
Key areas of growth include India, Brazil, Nigeria and Vietnam
The UK market warrants a mention thanks to sales of its new ‘Spanish’ lager Kruzcampo, sales of Inch’s cider up 40% and of course Murphy’s stout thanks to the issues with Guinness.
Heineken also produces cask ale- John Smiths- although how much is not clear. It also owns craft brewer Brixton where production has moved to Beavertown at Ponders End, although the Heineken website is completely silent about its ownership for some reason.
