Netherlands: European Commission accuses 4 Dutch brewers for breaching EU competition rules
The brewers Heineken, Grolsch, Bavaria and the Dutch branch of Belgium's Interbrew are suspected by the European Commission of having breached European Union competition rules in the Netherlands in the period before 2000, the Business Report announced on September 2.
The European Commission affirmed it had evidence that rival beer companies in the Netherlands agreed on prices, allocated customers, discussed individual customers and exchanged commercially important and confidential information.
All 4 brewers were officially informed that a formal case was being made. The companies have two months to respond in writing. If found guilty, the EU can fine them up to 10 % of their annual sales.
The investigation has been running for years, after Dutch authorities raided the brewers five years ago at the commission request. The same kind of investigations are conducted in Luxembourg, Belgium, France, and Italy.

Japan: As beer sales are dropping, brewers fight over "chuhai” drink
Japanese brewers are aggressively competing to sell canned shochu drinks with low alcohol content known as "chuhai" to deal with declining beer sales, Kyodo announced on September 6. Sapporo Breweries, one of the nation's four top breweries, marketed the low-alcohol-content beverage for the first time in eight years in September when it rolls out a drink called the Fruit Sparkling.
And its introduction stands for that the four top beer makers in Japan are in the race to sell chuhai, a combination of shochu, a traditional Japanese distilled spirit, and fruit juice or carbonated water. Chuhai an abbreviated term for "shochu highball."
Sapporo previously backed away from the chuhai market after being in business for two years because its product was relatively expensive and not doing so well. It is more optimistic this time around as woman seemed to like the drink during test sales. "A type of chuhai putting emphasis on fruit juice is popular among women," said a clerk at the Kiba branch of Ito-Yokado Co. in Tokyo.
According to analysts women hold the key to the success of canned chuhai, and beverage makers have been successful in changing the image the concoction, which had a

World: Alpha acid content in hops crop 2004
With the 2004 hop harvest, the percentage shares of the world market, which had been disrupted by the unusually dry weather conditions in Europe in 2003, returned to normal, according to this summer Barth report.
Germany and the USA between them accounted for 70.9% of total world alpha production in crop year 2004 (2003: 63.5%). With a share of world alpha production totalling 37.7% (2003: 24.4%), Germany overtook the USA, whose share fell to 33.2% (2003: 39.1%), as the world’s biggest alpha producer. China remained in third place, although its share of 15.8% in 2003 dropped to 8.0% in 2004 as a result of the reduction in acreage and the lower average alpha content there.
In Alpha Group I – fine aroma hops – Germany produced 40.7% (2003: 27.4%), beating the Czech Republic, with 35.6% (2003: 40.6%), into second place. In Alpha Group II – aroma hops – Germany,with 44.0%, also regained the top position it had lost to the USA in 2003 with a share of only 30.2%. The USA’s share in 2004 was only 22.3% (2003: 34.5%). The USA, on the other hand, was able to maintain leadership in Alpha Group III – bitter hops/high-alpha hops – with 38.8%,
