The Belgian government introduced the new packaging tax to encourage
less packaging use, thereby lowering pollution and increasing
conservation. The Belgian brewery raised the price of all its beers
sold in bottles or cans by one percent on April 1. The price of a
bottle or can of InBev's Stella Artois or Beck's - among others - will
rise by an additional 2.5 percent on July 1 to cover rising raw
material costs and inflation, sources say.
