Carlsberg Malawi raises prices of beer, soft drinks
Beer lovers will be paying more when they head to the bar from October 1, 2015 after Carlsberg Malawi Limited revealed price increases.
Carlsberg Malawi has increased prices of its alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages between 12 percent and 18 percent. The increase on soft drinks is between 12% to 25 %.
Imbibers will have to dig deeper into their pockets as Carlsberg Green in a 300 ml bottle is now at at K450 ($0.80) from K400 ($0.71) per 333ml bottle.
A two-litre bottle of Sobo Squash is now at K1, 500 from K1 200.
Non-alcoholic beverages such as Fanta, Coca-Cola and Sprite will be selling at K180 ($0.32) from K160 ($0.29) per 300ml returnable glass bottle.
According to the brewer, the increases are set according to the current economic climate in Malawi.
The local currency Kwacha is currently weakening against the dollar and inflation rising sharply.
Carlsberg Malawi noted that inflation and the exchange rate have “affected” the company’s costs “including those for raw materials.”
“Price stability is extremely important to Carlsberg in Malawi and we are very pleased to confirm that our weighted average price increase is below CPI [consumer price index] and is expected to be below projected 2016 inflation rates,” said Carlsberg Malawi in a statement.
With millions of Malawians facing a cost-of-living crisis, is it expected a lot of imbibers will quit the pub and buy discounted beer from supermarkets.
One said “beer is the proof God loves us”. But where the brewers are concerned, the Devil has all the best tunes.

We will adjust accordingly. Less household expenditure to maintain the current level of drinking. Simple! I have always thought Carlsberg is cheap considering the benefits we reap from drinking it. Green, kukhosi zi zi zi!!!

i sometimes wonder why pipo fail to understand that if they increase prices on productd due to infration it means that their empliyees salaries should be increased too. they r also affected by the infration meaning their salaries cant manage to buy your products.

This is the time we drink a lot and indeed can’t stop drinking beer.
Professor Colbyn is proposing impeachment of this government. Very soon it will be fuel and everything will go up.
DPP you rigged elections so they say. Now rig the economy people are suffeing and dying from this chronically ill economy. Mesa ndinu ma shasha a RIGGING.
To the wise imbiber, I say, cut household spending. Give the wife and children beans everyday then you won’t compromise the proof that the maker loves us.
Tangosiyani kupanga mowa basi, its too expensive. I thought it will be reduced bearing in mind the economic hardships we are passing through.We are tired of drinking beer.We now want to be taking thobwa ( sweet beer ).
We stopped drinking Carslsberg sometimes ago.We takes satchet for a liquor and Thobwa for a soft drink.Zimenezo azimwa Pitala ndi entourage yake ya anthu 100.Kodi Malawi yavuta ching’ono?
