Belgium supplies the highest value-per-pallet lines in the portfolio. Abbey, Trappist and strong ales command specialist pricing and are frequently used to lift the average value of a container without adding volume.
Countries of origin
Beer by Country of Origin
Where a brand comes from determines lead time from source, recognition in the destination market, and the territorial rights that govern whether it can be shipped at all. These pages set out what matters when sourcing from each origin.
Europe
The Czech Republic is where pilsner originated, and Czech-origin lager still carries authority with buyers who want more than a generic euro-lager.
Carlsberg is one of the most widely distributed lagers in the world and a dependable volume line in any European assortment.
1664 Blanc has become one of the strongest-performing European export labels of recent years, particularly in African and Middle Eastern markets.
German beer divides commercially into two distinct propositions: pilsner for volume, and Bavarian wheat beer for differentiation. Both load efficiently into Rotterdam from western and southern Germany.
Irish stout is a category of one. Guinness accounts for effectively all Irish beer export demand, and the export-strength specification is the one that matters for long-haul markets.
Italian lager travels with Italian food. Peroni Nastro Azzurro and Birra Moretti are standard listings wherever Italian hospitality operates.
The Netherlands is both an origin market and our consolidation base. Dutch labels are sourced domestically on short road freight, which makes them the least expensive lines to add to a container already loading in Rotterdam.
Super Bock and Sagres cover the Portuguese market between them, and both carry established recognition in Lusophone African markets.
Spanish lager has moved from a regional category to an international one on the back of hospitality listings. Three brands carry most of the export volume.
Efes Pilsen is the leading beer brand in Türkiye with an established following in Turkish diaspora retail across northern Europe.
Asia
Tsingtao is the Chinese export beer of record and a standing requirement for Asian-food retail and wholesale channels worldwide.
Kingfisher is India’s dominant beer brand and a fixed listing for Indian restaurant and South-Asian retail channels internationally.
Bintang is the leading beer brand in Indonesia and carries long-standing familiarity in Dutch-Indonesian retail and hospitality.
Japanese lager occupies a premium position in hospitality worldwide. Much of the European supply is now brewed in Europe, which shortens lead times considerably.
San Miguel Pale Pilsen is a core line for Filipino diaspora retail across the Middle East, Europe and North America.
Tiger is one of the defining South-East Asian beer brands and a standing line for ship chandlers and duty-free operators on Asian routes.
Thai beer is a category with two names: Singha and Chang. Both are sourced for European consolidation and are among the most consistently requested Asian lines we quote.
Americas
Mexican lager is among the most requested categories in international beer trade. We source Mexican labels for consolidation in the Netherlands alongside European and Asian lines.
Budweiser carries broad international recognition and is brewed under licence in a number of markets outside the United States.
Caribbean
Presidente is the dominant beer of the Dominican Republic and a core requirement for Caribbean retail and diaspora channels.
Red Stripe is the Jamaican beer of record and a standing line for Caribbean retail and diaspora channels.
Africa
Tusker is East Africa’s best-known beer label, sold mainly through diaspora retail and East African hospitality channels in Europe.
