Alcohol Industry Purge: 35 Brewing Companies Removed from the Register of Beer Producers in Russia

Compliance checks with mandatory requirements have left many enterprises unable to operate

In 2024, 35 legal entities were excluded from the register of producers of beer, cider, perry, and mead in Russia.

Since the launch of the register in September 2023, all brewers were automatically included in it, and now a check is being carried out to ensure their compliance with mandatory requirements.

The reasons for excluding companies from the register are non-compliance of addresses, lack of necessary documents for equipment, and rental of premises. Rosalkotabakkontrol filed 120 lawsuits to exclude enterprises, but only 81 applications were considered.

Exclusion from the register means a ban on the production and sale of beverages, which effectively suspends the company's activities until the violations are eliminated, leading to significant losses and, in some cases, bankruptcy.

According to the first eight months of 2024, the production of low-alcohol beverages in Russia decreased by 32.1% to 8.95 million decaliters. At the same time, the total production of alcoholic beverages (excluding beer and low-alcohol beverages) increased by 8.5%.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that VNIIBPT presented a unique vodka formula that reduces the hangover effect by 57%.
