[Beer Markets] Growth Opportunities In Emerging Markets

In Jakarta, young Indonesian entrepreneurs wind down from a busy day by downing a few bottles of Bintang beer. In Shanghai, patrons of a street corner noodle stand are having a Tsingtao beer with their bowls of noodle soup. These scenes are repeated all over the continent, from India to Vietnam and beyond as beer drinking becomes more popular. Sales are growing in Singapore with drinkers crowding the city-state's microwbreweries and lounge bars. And, despite the impact of Singapore's worst ever recession, foreign beer companies are still moving in.
