@worldfinance “A beer is still a beer no matter how much alcohol it has. A unique interplay of malted barley sweetness, hop bitterness & yeast esters during fermentation make up the character of a beer, and brewers preserve this character in their lower- and no-alcohol alternatives," he says

Beer is uniquely positioned to meet consumers’ growing demand for moderation, says WBA President & CEO Justin Kissinger in @worldfinance.

#Moderation starts with simple choices.

Beer is already a low‑alcohol option, and with more lower‑ and no‑alcohol beers, it’s easier than ever to slow down and drink responsibly. #NothingLikeABeer

Don't be an Easter "eggs-ception" to the rules 🐰 Drink OR drive. Never both. Let’s keep South Africa’s roads safe this long weekend. #RoadSafety #EasterWeekend #ZeroTolerance @AwareOrg @SA_wine

[Beer Association of South Africa @BeerSA_org]

A safe plan isn’t something you figure out after the third round 🍻 Plan your ride home before the first drink. If a friend or family member is about to drive this Easter, step in. Their safety matters more than their ego. 🛑🚗#EasterSafety #DontDrinkAndDrive @AwareOrg @SA_wine

[Beer Association of South Africa @BeerSA_org]

This Easter, look out for your circle. If someone’s had too much to drink, be the voice of reason. Help them make a safe plan to get home. Let’s make sure everyone who starts the long weekend, finishes it. 🚗#EasterSafety #DontDrinkAndDrive #RoadSafety @AwareOrg @SA_wine
