Scientific Digest
Contributions of Hop Hard Resins to Beer Quality
ABSTRACT
The brewing value of hops (Humulus lupulus) is primarily attributed to the flavor- and bitter-active compounds found in the resins. These resins are synthesized and accumulated in the lupulin glands of the female hop cones. Early work on the fractionation of hop resins, based on the solubility of resins in various organic solvents, classified them into soft resins and hard resins. The hard resin is mainly composed by oxidation products insoluble in hexane. Hitherto, research has primarily focused on studying the impact on beer properties of the major hop bitter acids (alpha- and beta-acids) present in the soft resin. Therefore, little information is available on the functionality of the hard resin and for years it has been considered of no brewing value. Further the exact role of the hard resins in the brewing process is not well understood. For these reasons, a detailed study of the hard resins contributions to beer quality was performed. Brewing trials were conducted in which hop pellets were replaced with resin rich extracts. Thereby it was possible to establish the brewing potential of the hop hard resin. There is evidence to suggest that further degradation products were formed upon vigorous boiling of the hard resin. It is believed that upon extended storage periods these ultimate oxidation products are also formed. From the analytical data it was established that the hard resins positively contribute to the foam stabilizing properties. Furthermore, in the different sensory evaluations of the fresh beers, the hard resins proved to impact all analyzed attributes. With increasing hard resin concentrations, higher bitter intensities were recorded. The perceived bitterness of the hard resin beers suggested that the hard resins have a high bittering potential. Finally, at high hard resin concentrations a pleasant bitterness was produced and the overall flavor stability of the beers was high.

Myanmar: Beer industry set to grow rapidly with four new brewery licenses offered by the government
|
Despite Myanmar’s comparatively low beer sales, the largely untapped industry is set to grow rapidly with four new brewery licenses offered by the government, Mizzima reported on May, 9.
Speaking at the Myanmar Consumer Summit at Yangon’s Park Royal Hotel on May, 9, Myint Zaw, senior CEO of Myanmar Brewery Ltd, said, “There is huge room to grow for hard liquor and beer in Myanmar. Every year the market growth has been quite significant.”
However, expansion in the industry is limited with companies needing to invest massively in marketing, while most expand into the soft drinks market to make real gains, he said.
“Beer is still low compared to other [drinks] categories in Myanmar,” said Ralf Matthaes, regional managing director of TNS Indochina, a consumer consultancy group that opened a Yangon office in March. He also noted that while there was a smaller penetration of beer, there was in fact a higher consumption rate among the individual population.
There are currently three breweries operating in Myanmar: Myanmar Brewery Ltd, a joint venture (JV) between Union of Myanmar Economic Holdings with Fraser & Naeve, a Singaporean company, and which has an 83 percent share of the market; Dagon Beverages Co, a JV between Myanmar

UK: SABMiller shares slip on sales concerns in key market
|
SABMiller slipped from a record high on May, 9 on concerns that investor appetite for defensives had overshadowed slowing beer sales in its key markets, Financial Times reported.
The shares fell following weak results overnight from Efes, the Turkish brewer that bought SAB’s Russian business in 2011. Efes said destocking and a price war meant its Russian operations barely broke even in the first quarter, with sales dropping 23 per cent year-on-year.
Efes was not individually significant to SAB, as its 24 per cent stake provided about 3 per cent of group earnings, said Canaccord Genuity. But, with SAB’s MillerCoors joint venture and its key rival AB InBev also reporting disappointingly poor sales in recent weeks, the risk was on the downside, said the broker. It downgraded SAB to “sell” ahead of the brewer’s full-year results due on May 23.
“Disappointing margins and momentum in the US, weakening performance in Latin America in the wake of price increases, and difficult trading conditions in South Africa persuade us that now is the time to take profit,” said Canaccord. It added that AB InBev was probably too focused on integrating its Modelo acquisition in the short term to consider a bid for SAB.

The Philippines: San Miguel Brewery’s delisting on May, 15 approved by the Philippine Stock Exchange
|
Shares of San Miguel Corporation (SMC) beer unit San Miguel Brewery Inc. (SMB) will no longer be traded on the Philippine Stock Exchange starting May 15 for not meeting the required 10 percent public ownership rule, GMA News reported on May, 9.
In a board meeting held on April 24, the PSE board of directors granted the petition for voluntary delisting filed by San Miguel Brewery.
"... The shares of SMB shall be delisted from the Exchange effective 15 May 2013, Wednesday," the PSE said in a memo posted on its website.
The delisting is subject to the payment of a delisting fee.
In a separate disclosure posted on its website on May, 9, SMB said it received on May, 6 a letter from the bourse dated May, 3 on the approval of the delisting.
"The company paid today (May, 6) the delisting fee as required by the PSE in the said letter," the company said.
The beer maker, a joint venture of SMC and Japanese beer brewery Kirin Holdings Company Limited, set a tender offer from March, 4 to April, 3 to buyback minority shares at P20 per share, or at a 31.74 percent discount from its last traded price of P29.30 last December 28.

USA: Barley expected to hold its ground in Montana this year
|
Barley, long on the decline in the Upper Midwest, is expected to hold its ground, literally, this year. Commodity group leaders say that reflects barley’s continued, albeit reduced, importance, Grand Forks Herald reported on May, 7.
“It’s a crop that still fits for a lot of people,” says Ryan McCormick, a Kremlin, Mont., farmer and president of the Montana Grain Growers Association.
Farmers in his state, which traditionally ranks second in barley acreage behind North Dakota, will plant 1 million acres of the crop, up from 900,000 acres in 2012, according to an estimate by the National Agricultural Statistics Service, an arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Barley prices are attractive enough in Montana to draw interest, McCormick says. He notes that the number of craft breweries in Montana is growing, generating more interest in the crop.
Montana now has 32 breweries, ranking the state second per capita behind Vermont, according to the Montana Office of Tourism.
McCormick also says that Montana barley acreage, though projected to be higher this year than in 2012, has fallen sharply since the 1990s.
If USDA is right, Montana farmers will plant more acres of barley this year than their counterparts in North Dakota, something that rarely happens.
