Beer consumers shift to �quarts� as levy bites

Monday, July 28, 2014

Kgalagadi Breweries Limited (KBL) managing director Johan De Kok has said that they have realised increasingly higher demand for the economical 750ml alcoholic bottles as consumers feel the effect of the alcohol levy.

The retail price for KBL 340ml canned and bottled beer hovers around P11 while the 750ml bottles popularly known as quarts are sold for an average of P15.

“We have noticed that 750ml have regained momentum as people have shifted to them because they are cost effective,” De Kok noted during the Sechaba Breweries financial results briefing last Thursday.
