Business Model

 B9 Beverages is India’s fourth largest brewer of craft beer behind Heineken, Carlsberg, and Anheuser-Busch InBev. Started in 2015 from New Delhi, the company is engaged in the business of brewing and distribution of craft beer. The company’s first brewery unit was located in the Flanders region of Belgium and now the company operates four breweries in India with distribution in New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Boston, Singapore, and Nepal. 

The company currently has a production capacity of 2 million hectoliters which makes up for 5-10% share of the beer market in cities such as New Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. The company is planning to open its fifth brewery in Madhya Pradesh with a production capacity of 400,000 hectoliters before the end of the year.

Bira 91 b9 beverages plans to bring its craft beer brand to the masses. Under this strategy, the company opted to lease i/o ownership of its breweries. This allowed the company to sell its craft beer from liquor retail shops as many state regulations permit the microbreweries to sell outside only through restaurants and bars, not through liquor retail stores. Bira is allowed to sell through retail stores as it does not own its microbreweries.

Further, the company pitched its premium products in the price range of Rs 125-140 for its 330 ml bottle and 500ml can, making the craft beer affordable to the price sensitive Indian market. 

Currently, Bira 91 b9 beverages derives 70% of its revenues from restaurants and bars while the remaining 30% comes from retail. But with its aggressive retail strategy, this ratio is expected to touch 50:50 when the retail segment will start giving its much desired volumes and bring it closer to profitability.
