Low- and lower-middle-income countries are drivers of the global beer sector's economic footprint. Since 2015, some nations saw a 27% GDP boost & a 24% employment increase, supported by the beer industry. When it comes to supporting emerging economies, there's #NothingLikeABeer.

Brewers play a specific role in reducing the harmful use of alcohol through innovations to create lower- and no-alcohol products. And these efforts to support moderation are paying off, according to a new article in @beveragedaily. buff.ly/7laoB0i

WBA Chair @EmmaMcClarkin explains beer’s unique role as the drink of #moderation. 🍻

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

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

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

Real friends don’t let friends become a statistic 🛑This Easter, look out for each other. If someone’s had too much to drink, help them call a ride or find a safe way home. If you’re drinking, don’t drive. Period. #EasterSafety #DontDrinkAndDrive #RoadSafety @SA_wine @AwareOrg

Heineken Beverages joined forces with key partners to promote road safety this Easter. Responsible consumption shouldn’t be seasonal - it’s an everyday responsibility. #RoadSafety #EasterSafety

Research indicates that nudging consumers to lower- and no-alcohol options can support positive #publichealth outcomes. Beer and cider make up almost 75% of the lower- and no- category globally, leading the expansion of consumer choice. #NothingLikeABeer

Rising excise taxes affect us all 📈 Beer is a cornerstone of the #SouthAfrican economy and local agriculture. We need fair tax policies that support growth and jobs. #ExciseTax #SABeer #EconomicImpact

“What makes beer unique is that it is deeply rooted within its local markets, benefiting local economies and communities,” says WBA President & CEO Justin Kissinger.

Want to extend the fun? Beer is already a low-alcohol choice. With expanding lower- and no-alcohol options, there are even more ways to drink in moderation. When it comes to enjoying drinks your way, there's #NothingLikeABeer.

This #NationalWaterWeek, we recognise the beer industry’s investment in water recovery, closed-loop systems and efficiency technologies. Industrial resilience depends on water security. Sustainable manufacturing depends on responsible resource management. #WaterStewardship

Refreshing & lighter 🍺🍓 We’re loving the trend of women opting for fruit beers and low-ABV options. Diversity in brewing means there’s a perfect pint for everyone. #LowAlcohol #SABeer #BeerTrends

Americans are drinking differently, notes Peter Burke, lifestyle editor with @FoxNews Digital. Rather than giving up alcohol altogether, many are incorporating no-alcohol beers into their social occasions as a way to practice moderation. Learn more: buff.ly/zbfmBor
