1 World: Underlying beer and brewing major trends

World beer sales totaled 157.8 billion liters in 2005 with the top 10 companies accounting for approximately 60% of global volume of branded beer.

Although twenty large multinational and regional producers head the industry tables on branded beer volume, small production dominates total beer production when “commodity” beer products are considered (“commodity” beer is 62% of total beer production), the International Center for Alcohol Policies provided on its March 2006 report.

Although the largest global brewers have significant international production, their brands are essentially local. Due to its large volume, beer is generally produced in the country in which it is consumed.

International brands, when available outside their “home” countries, are usually produced locally either by a brewery established by the brand owner or under license by a local brewery.

Exports are important only for a few countries with prominent brands (e.g., Heineken, Carlsberg, Stella Artois or Guinness), which are produced by some of the world’s largest brewing companies.

Over the past five years, changes in beer consumption patterns have varied by region. In low and middle-income countries, the main developments have been shifts from consumption of unrecorded, locally produced beer to commercial, regional brands.

Also noteworthy in low and middle-income countries is the ...

Scientific Digest
The Effect of Germination Temperature on Malt Quality of Buckwheat
H. H. Wijngaard and H. M. Ulmer, Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences and National Food and Biotechnology Centre, University College Cork, College Road, Cork, Co. Cork, Ireland; and E. K. Arendt,1 Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences and National Food and Biotechnology Centre, University College Cork, College Road, Cork, Co. Cork, Ireland

Abstract: J. Am. Soc. Brew. Chem. 63(1):31-36, 2005 Common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) with and without hull was malted at four germination temperatures, 9.5, 14.9, 16.5, and 20.2°C. Optimum characteristics of malts and resulting worts were obtained when buckwheat was germinated at 16.5 and 20.2°C. Buckwheat without hull germinated at these temperatures showed similar values in soluble nitrogen and free amino nitrogen to barley malt. Both a- and ß-amylase activity levels were low in malted buckwheat. The maximum activity level of a-amylase was 47.79 units g–1 (wet wt) in buckwheat without hull and germinated at 16.5°C. The maximum activity level of ß-amylase was induced in buckwheat germinated at 20.2°C: 129.80 and 125.68 units g–1 (wet wt) were found in buckwheat with and buckwheat without hull, respectively. Maximum apparent fermentability (56%) was reached when buckwheat was germinated at a temperature of 20.2°C. Although amylolytic activity and fermentability levels were low in malted buckwheat, buckwheat malt appears to have potential as a brewing ingredient once malting and mashing conditions are optimized.
