redhill- you make some good points- I think contract brewing exit will be good - may be some indigestion but they must be confident of building their own brand volumes -anyway no use wearing your plant out to supply competitors and still make no money

Kennedy - is the answer to drop Coors, or is it a strategic foot in the door for their own brands and helping distribution, logistics etc

haven't gone back and checked but is that normally the worst half? I would imagine given the dropping consumer sentiment, rise in wages, rising power prices etc (besides packaging and canning which I think they meant in terms mentioning supply chain costs) that we could hope things would get better - see a few craft brewers dropping by the wayside may help them in a small way also
