“So far we have seen very little evidence of any consumer impact of rising inflation,” Hart said on a conference call following a quarterly trading statement published on Wednesday.

“But as inflation continues to increase and brewers raise prices again in the second half of this year and beginning of 2023, we see a bigger risk ahead of downtrading and lower volumes,” he said.

Anheuser-Busch InBev and Carlsberg, the world’s largest and third-largest brewers, respectively, have raised full-year profit outlook this week.
