Brewers flag protracted delays and lower production due to supply chain problems
For Australians heading into the festive season, the real nightmare before Christmas is unfolding: there is a shortage of beer.
One of the key culprits is a dearth of wooden pallets, a key supply chain input used to transport stock. Sourcing them has become increasingly difficult amid a nationwide shortage, a position which has forced Lion, the maker of brands such as Tooheys, James Boag and Furphy, to cut back on production and prioritize more popular products.
Meanwhile, Carlton & United is struggling to get sufficient shipments of Corona, which it imports from Mexico. “In the lead-up to Christmas we are distributing it fairly to retailers across Australia to help limit shortages,” a spokesperson said.
