Scientific Digest
The answer to a lot of questions?
ABSTRACT
The dream of all hop aroma researchers is to identify all
sensory relevant components that cause the different
unique hop aromas in beer. Maybe Inui et al have come
pretty close to answering at least some important
related questions. Brewing five single variety trial beers
(with Hallertauer Mittelfrueh, Hallertauer Tradition, Saaz,
Perle, Cascade) they looked into the correlation of six
specified sensory aroma characteristics in beer with
analytical results of GCxGC/TOF-MS measurements.
The relevant components to six generic hop aroma
characteristics were verified by multivariate analysis of
organoleptic evaluation together with component
analysis results. Those components with significant
differences among five hopped beers were selected.
These initially 297 could further be narrowed down to
67 compounds. Their conclusion is that hop aroma in
beer probably consists of more than 100 compounds,
and some of these are only present below their
threshold concentration. However, these compounds
may show influences on aroma or flavor in beer by the
effect of other coexisting compounds in beer.
Therefore, it is incomplete to estimate the key
components in hoppy aroma in beer just from
thresholds and GC-O results.

Brazil: 2012 beer sales volume suffers, Ambev’s market share declines to 63%
|
In 2012, volume sales within the Brazilian beer industry suffered strongly from unit price increases by manufacturers. This marked an attempt to dilute the tax increase scheduled for late 2012, extended to the first semester of 2013, through negotiation with the government, Companies and Markets reported on October 15.
Thus beer manufacturers cooperated in the "Greater Brazil Plan", in which companies have to pledge investment in new jobs and production, to stimulate beer sales.
Brazil is the world's fourth largest market for beer with over 88 million barrels produced in 2010 and annual per capita consumption of 53.3 litres.
In the Brazilian Carnival period there is an explosion in consumption. In these 4 days, 400 million litres (or around 4% of the yearly production) are consumed. In November with the approach of summer, the manufacture and investment in marketing triples.
International tourists find that domestic and local beers are much less expensive than imported brands.
Over the past decade or so Brazil has imported more and more brands of beer from Europe (particularly from Belgium) and the USA. These imports are a lot more expensive than locally brewed beers. However, there are a growing number of bars and beer shops dedicating themselves to selling a

Europe: SABMiller's Europe boss says beer marketing should appeal to both men and women
|
When Sue Clark named the near-black Fawcett's Folly imperial stout the winner of SABMiller's 2013 employee brew-off contest last week, it was not just because she likes dark beer.
The head of the brewer's European business praised its "360-degree marketing," which appealed to both men and women and is the type of advertising she is betting on to help stem declines in beer demand, reported Reuters on October 21.
Appealing to more women is not easy for big beer, as Molson Coors recently learned with the failure of its female-friendly Animee, which it pulled after 15 months. But Clark says more inclusive advertising, a broader range of beer styles and improving conditions at bars will help.
In the United States, beer accounts for 42 percent of alcohol consumed, Clark said, down from a high of 72 percent a decade ago, before it lost ground to wine and spirits. Trends in Britain and Western Europe are similar, she said, in her first extensive interview since becoming managing director last year.
Beer is losing its core drinkers as slowing population growth means fewer 18-35-year-old men. And underemployment, especially in jobs like construction, means men who fit the profile are often tight on cash. Brewers must look

USA: MillerCoors cuts 360 positions due to sales drop
|
MillerCoors is eliminating 360 jobs, which includes laying off 200 salaried employees, in response to the tough sales conditions facing the company and beer industry, reported Ad Age on October 21.
"To realize our ambition, we must have the financial flexibility required to seize opportunities and address challenges head-on," CEO Tom Long and Ed McBrien, president of sales and distributor operations, said in a memo to distributors. "Given our current fixed-cost base, we can't meet these long-term investment requirements. Simply put, our fixed-cost base is too high and our organizational structure is too complex."
In a statement, the brewer confirmed that "approximately 200 salaried employees will be leaving the organization and another 160 open salaried positions will be eliminated." The Chicago-based brewer employs about 8,800 people nationally. The cuts will be spread across "all functions of the company," including sales and marketing, a spokesman said. The cuts are meant to "help the company meet long-term investment requirements in its brands and breweries while at the same time achieve its operating margin and profitability goals."
The distributor memo cited a "period of rapid and disruptive change" in the U.S. beer industry, including "consumer fragmentation, continued high unemployment and increased competition from wine and spirits."

Haiti: Heineken plans to invest $100 mln in its Haiti brewery in 2014

Stefan Orlowski, the President of Heineken Americas visited Haiti on October 21 where he met with Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe as part of a review of an expected corporate investment of 100 million dollars the company hopes to make in its Haiti subsidiary over the next year, reports Sentinel.ht.
Briefing the press after the meeting, the head of the Haitian government recalled Heineken's majority purchase of the Haitian company, Brasserie National d'Haiti:
"...as you know, Heineken bought the Brasserie Nationale d'Haiti and will invest in the upcoming year more than $100 million. Its president came so that we can meet and do a review of their investments."
"You know that the Government's aim is to push private investment in Haiti, the international private investment as well as domestic investment... a new production line will be installed at the Brasserie Nationale to produce more Prestige over Malta."
"He also announced that he will start working with farmers to buy the raw material locally, this is a great victory for us. Again, this demonstrates that there is job creation, and that the country is moving if a large company like Heineken invests in the country."

Greece & USA: Greece’s Santorini Brewing to distribute beer in the U.S.
|
Santorini Brewing CO opened its doors in 2011 on the road to a quaint beachside town in Greece and created the Donkey beers. The brewery has an annual production capacity of 75,000 liters.
There are three styles of beer currently in production – Yellow, Red & Crazy Donkey. Only Crazy Donkey IPA is available for export, it is said to be the first Greece-brewed IPA in the U.S. market.
In late October 2013, Santorini Brewing Company has exported its first batch of Crazy Donkey IPA into the US through NY-based Athenee Importers, the country’s oldest family owned importer of premium alcoholic beverages from Greece into the US, reports Brewbound.
Crazy Donkey is Greece’s first IPA and is produced with five kinds of hops. The beer has 6.5% ABV and an IBU of 50. Crazy Donkey is sold in 750 ml glass bottles and retails for approximately $35-$40 a bottle. Crazy Donkey will be available in the United States in small quantities (less than 100 cases per shipment) throughout the winter months. Due to high local demand, the brewery will not export beer during the tourist season.

UK: Demand for barley set to grow as distilleries expand
|
Scotch whisky is enjoyed in more than 200 countries across the world, with distilleries buying more than £200 mln worth of cereals to produce the sprit, Farmers Weekly reported on October 19.
And without farmers growing barley and wheat - blended spirits are made with a mix of the two, while single malt is made with 100% barley - the industry would be without its key ingredients.
"Farmers are critical to the success of Scotch whisky," says Julie Hesketh-Laird, director of operational and technical affairs at the Scotch Whisky Association.
"Cereals are the biggest raw material and one of the major costs to the industry. It's critical that we get the volume and quality we require - farmers are at the heart of that."
As distilleries expand - about 80-90 mln litres of capacity has gone online in the past few years and 20-30 mln litres more are planned - the demand for good-quality cereals is set to grow, she adds.
"I guess key to this is to make sure we have enough of the quality cereal. Distillers are looking for distill yield and farmers are looking for agronomic yield - volumes are going to be crucial," explains Ms Hesketh-Laird.
Although regulations don't stipulate that the

Canada & EU: The Malting Industry Association of Canada wlcomes new agreement on barley and malt trade with the EU
|
The Malting Industry Association of Canada (MIAC) supports the agreement in principle of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) which was announced on October 18 by Prime Minister Harper in Brussels.
The CETA eliminates tariffs on malt immediately and the phased elimination of tariffs for barley. It will provide the ability to consider potential niche geographic market opportunities in an open and transparent market environment.
"Eliminating tariffs and liberalizing trade globally for malt is critically important for our industry, so any agreement that continues to move forward the Government of Canada's trade negotiation agenda globally is good news," says MIAC president Phil de Kemp.
This agreement once ratified has the potential to increase domestic barley grain usage due to the expected market opportunities for both beef and pork into the E.U. "The potential for increased domestic barley consumption is strongly supported by our malt industry members," says de Kemp. "It will provide the ability for us to continue to work closely with our barley producers to maximize their market sales of malting barley for malt production while at the same time providing additional growth opportunities for barley sales to the animal sector".
“The CETA is a tremendous accomplishment for the Government of Canada
