Brewers' profits rise as beer drinkers pay more, drink less Beer drinkers' more sophisticated palates are boosting the bottom lines of the two major brewers despite an overall drop in market volume.Asia Pacific Breweries, owner of DB Breweries, says pretax earnings are up 52% for the first half, due mainly to a 4% volume gain, favourable sales mix and the appreciation of the New Zealand dollar.Overall, APB reported group revenue grew to $S1.25 billion for the six months to March 31 – 17% higher than the same period last year, mainly due to higher volumes.
