Heineken sold less beer in the UK during the summer as it raised prices by more than 7% and cool rainy weather put a dampener on barbecues and outdoor celebrations.
The drop reflected an 7.6% fall in the amount of beer sold across Europe, with the average price up 12%, driven by inflation and higher sales of premium ales and lagers. Heineken owns Amstel, Birra Moretti and Tiger as well as its namesake brand.
