Scientific Digest
Gushing? Use hops and don't move!
ABSTRACT
It is proposed that primary gushing is caused by, among other things, hydrophobines or alkanes that "trap" CO2 into "nanobombs". Possible gushing supressors therefore have to go into competition with those molecules. J. Titze and his team looked into the suitability of certain hop components to do so. They selected 6 different hop oil components. Though these components showed gushing suppressing activities in the
model tests they also found that this effect can be destroyed with abrupt mechanical agitation. The good news is that different high temperature did not influence the gushing suppressing effects!..so don't move to fast while drinking!

The Czech Republic: Volume of sold bottled beer prevails over tapped beer in 2012
|
The high popularity of tapped beer, typical of Czechs, is gone now that the volume of sold bottled beer prevailed over the tapped beer drunk in pubs for the first time in 2012, daily Mlada fronta Dnes (MfD) reported on September 16.
In this respect, Czechs are starting to follow the habits of their western neighbours, it writes.
In Germany, one in five sold beers is drunk in a pub, while in the Czech Republic, still in 2011 people drank less beer from bottles or cans than what they consumed in pubs, MfD writes.
Now the situation is markedly changing. Of all the beer sold last year, 44.3 percent was sold in bottles, 43.4 in kegs and the rest in cans or tanks, the paper continues.
As a result, the number of restaurants and beer pubs is declining, it says.
"This change has been underway in the past ten years. The trend accelerated last year, however. I think the main reason is money saving and the tax increase that drew money out from people's pockets. A number of analyses we have had worked out show that beer consumption has transferred to people's homes," says Doug Bradman, outgoing head of the Plzensky Prazdroj brewery.

World: AB InBev sells $1.8 bln of bonds in euros and pounds
|
Anheuser-Busch InBev NV (ABI), the world’s biggest brewer, sold $1.8 billion of bonds denominated in euros and pounds after corporate borrowing costs fell to the lowest in three weeks in Europe, Bloomberg reported on September 17.
The average yield demanded to hold investment-grade securities dropped five basis points to 2.02 percent, the lowest since Aug. 27, Bloomberg index data show. The cost of insuring the debt against losses held at a 16-week low, with the Markit iTraxx Europe index of credit-default swaps falling 0.6 basis point to 93 basis points.
AB InBev priced 750 million euros ($1 billion) of seven-year notes to yield 48 basis points more than the mid-swap rate, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.The brewer also sold 500 million pounds ($795 million) of 12-year notes yielding 105 basis points more than U.K. government debt. It’s the company’s first sale in the currency since June 2009, the data show.
Karen Couck, a spokeswoman for AB InBev in Leuven, Belgium confirmed the company was selling bonds without providing any further information.

Germany: Beer at Oktoberfest to be more expensive this year
|
Although prices at Oktoberfest have been inflation-beating for years, consumption of beer keeps rising. Average price of the 1-liter (35 oz) stein of beer will be 9.66 euros ($ 12.85), up 3.6 percent from last year’s festivities, compared with German overall annual inflation of 1.5 percent, Reuters reported on September 17.
Since 1985, the Wiesn Visitor Price Index has risen more than twice as fast as the country’s overall inflation rate, Unicredit calculations show. But this has failed to stem the tide of more beer flowing down visitors’ throats, with millions and millions of litres to be consumed again this year.
Unicredit’s research note also pointed out that the European Central Bank’s low-rate policy could play a role in boosting beer consumption, bucking an international trend of declining brew sales in the face of increasing costs.
“The lower interest rates are, the greater – ceteris paribus – is the incentive to purchase beer at this year’s Wiesn compared to the alternative of saving,” Unicredit’s Alexander Koch wrote. Wiesn – short for Theresienwiese – is the field in Munich where the annual fest is held.
Germany – motivated by the fear of falling into a high-inflation spiral – has led the resistance to the ECB

China: Chongqing Brewery suspends share trading until the end of September
|
Chongqing Brewery, controlled by Danish brewer Carlsberg, suspended share trading on the Shanghai bourse on September 16, and announced that its subsidiary vaccine maker Jiachen Biological Engineering will begin a review of its Hepatitis B vaccines research soon, Global Times reported on September 16.
It will resume share trading on September 27 after it announces the curative effects of its vaccines.
Chongqing Brewery's share prices surged 37 times during the period from 1998 to 2011, boosted by the news of its involvement in the pharmaceutical sector. But in January 2012, the company said clinical trials of its vaccines showed that the effectiveness is no different from that of a placebo, causing its share price to drop.
Currently its share prices are at around 17 yuan ($2.78), compared with the price of 80 yuan back in 2011.

Belarus: Large share of imported beer worries the authorities
|
Imported beer accounted for about 30% of the total volume of beer sold in Belarus this year. The data was voiced at the government session held in Lida on 11 September to discuss problems of the Belarusian brewing industry, BelTA reported.
The rising volume of beer import is said to be one of the key reasons negatively affecting the development of Belarusian breweries, primarily those with a state share.
In 2012 Belarusian breweries operated at 62% of the output capacity and the falling production trend continues this year, too, said Chairman of the State Control Committee Alexander Yakobson. Breweries with a share of foreign capital are moving in. In January-July 2013, Belarus imported $44.9 million worth of beer, with beer export at $17.7 million.
Vladimir Kalenik, Head of the Central Office for Control over Consumer Market and Services Sphere of the State Control Committee of Belarus, believes that the import percentage is abnormal for a country with a well-developed brewing industry, which relies on local raw materials and is capable of satisfying the domestic demand with quality products. In 2012, imported beer accounted for 3.7% of the total resources in the Russian Federation, 1.3% in Ukraine, and 2% in Poland.

Australia: New barley variety La Trobe expected to improve export opportunities for Australian growers
|
A new barley variety has been officially named at the Australian Barley Technical Symposium. The IGB1101, now officially named La Trobe, will reportedly improve export opportunities for Australian growers in medium to low rainfall areas, Food Processing reported on September 13.
La Trobe reportedly offers similar yields to Hindmarsh, which is the yield benchmark in medium to low rainfall districts, but with an improved malt quality. It was developed as part of an ongoing collaboration between Syngenta and InterGrain, and is owned by the Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DPI) Victoria.
According to Ben Miles, Syngenta Head of Cereals Australasia, the export malt quality of La Trobe provides an opportunity for barley growers in southern regions to capitalise on potential premiums for malting grain as well as reap Hindmarsh yields.
“The feedback we’re getting from maltsters is that there’s a gap in the market for a high-quality export malt variety that is adapted to these growing areas,” Miles said.
“We are hopeful that La Trobe will become an accredited export malt variety, providing growers with all the benefits of growing Hindmarsh, which they like, plus giving them full potential to access a decent malt premium.”
La Trobe is undergoing Australian Malting and Brewing Accreditation.
