South Africa: Reusable bottles shortage leads to slowdown in production of Castle Lager
Some South African liquor outlets are apparently running out of Castle Lager beer, as a shortage of bottles affected production, Business Insider South Africa reported on December 13.
Outlets in Cape Town appear to be particularly affected by the delay, Netwerk24 reported.
Refilwe Masemola, South African Breweries director of external communications, said a shortage of reusable bottles has slowed the production process. There have been delays in returning these bottles to SAB, Masemola said, without giving more details.
“Our production teams are [however] hard at work to ensure that those outlets that may be affected are well stocked over the coming days,” Masemola told Business Insider South Africa.
“We are in fact ahead of our production schedule, which should bring some comfort to our customers.”
Castle Lager is one of South Africa’s most consumed beers and was for the first time named the 25th most valuable beer brand in the world in 2018.
