Danish brewer Carlsberg said it sold less beer in the UK last year as the wash-out summer offset a boost from Euro 2012 football and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
The group, which is also behind the Kronenbourg 1664 brand, said UK volumes declined 3% in 2012.
Overall profits were flat at 9.8 billion Danish krone (£1.1bn), even though its seventh consecutive sponsorship of football's top tournament helped drive an 8% surge in Carlsberg volumes in premium markets.
