SAB Miller creates brewery on a tanker... for those "just in case" scenarios.
One of the great joys of being in strategy is playing "what if...". Normally we speculate about sugar taxes, M&As, ingredient shortages. But occasionally you get asked about that time horizon greater than 5 years out when imaginations can run wild.
Apparently SAB Miller just had that exercise, and created their own "beyond thunderdome" scenario where global weather has become so unpredictable, and water/energy are in such short supply that man returns to a more nomadic existence -relying on the sea for much of its subsistence. Therefore SAB imagined this brewery on a tanker concept that could be used to provide beer for those survivors. And you would have to guess that if we really face such nightmare scenarios, we will need a beer to relax with!
A quick POV...
Pluses - ability to relocate rapidly and go to where the people and resources are:
Minuses - Tough to stockpile ingredients, packaging and inventory
