Scientific Digest
Assessment of changes in hop resins and polyphenols during long-term storage
ABSTRACT
The storage stability of hop pellets is a concern of every brewer and it has been shown in the past that certain varieties exhibit a better storage stability than others. This study was an extensive investigation about the storage stability of the
Czech hop varieties Sladek, Agnus, Saaz and Premiant. Aging of hop pellets was negilible during storage if the pellets were protected from oxygen. When exposed to oxygen, the degradation of alpha and beta acids was severe and accelerated after 6 months. In this comparison, Saaz was found to be the most stable Czech hop variety.

Africa: Heineken trying to attract female drinkers with lemon-flavoured Radler beer
|
A thirst for beer among Africa's middle classes is driving the world's biggest brewers to invest on the continent, but getting women to drink the beverage is another matter, Reuters reported on May, 13.
One brewer, Heineken, is attempting to woo the elusive female African drinker with a sweeter, low-alcohol beer made from malt and lemon that it hopes will persuade them to try its other lagers.
Siep Hiemstra, head of Heineken's African operations, said beer consumption on the continent was still predominantly male, but the new drink, Radler, with a 2-3 percent alcohol content, could change women's perceptions.
"For female drinkers this is the first step towards the beer category," Hiemstra said. "If that is the case, it will probably also allow them to enter the beer category and taste a nice Heineken."
The Dutch brewer, which operates in 20 African countries and competes with SABMiller and Diageo , introduced Radler in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) last month and plans to launch it elsewhere in Africa and Western Europe this summer, Hiemstra said.
Heineken is not alone in trying to tap the market for women drinkers. Danish brewer Carlsberg, for example, has the Eve brand of lychee-flavored lower alcohol beer.
However, some beer

India: United Breweries, United Spirits get Rs 91cr service tax notice
|
Directorate General of Central Excise Intelligence (DGCEI) has issued a show-cause-cum-demand notices to Vijay Mallya-owned firms United Breweries and United Spirits Ltd, for allegedly evading service tax of Rs 91 crore, The Indian Express reported on May, 13.
"Both the firms have evaded the service tax on sponsoring various shows and sports events," a senior DGCEI official said.
The notice is pertaining to sponsoring events like the Indian Premier League, East Bengal Football Team, Force India Team, Wills India Fashion Week, Mohan Bagan Team.
The notice issued to United Breweries is for the amount of Rs 21.7 crore, while that to United Spirit is of Rs 69.3 crore.
According to the officials, a DGCEI team had recently visited the Bangalore offices of both the firms.
Officials said that if the amount was not paid within a month, penalty of 25 per cent would be imposed on the total amount.
Meanwhile, United Spirits in its statement to PTI said that the DGCEI Mumbai has asked them to furnish the soft copy of the ledger extract of Advertisement & Sales Promotion expenses for the period 2007 - 08 to 2011 - 12.

Israel: Boutique brewers unhappy about government’s new beer tax
|
Israel’s new austerity drive has given the country’s boutique brewers a hangover, The Wall Street Journal reported on May, 14.
The beer-makers have joined the legions of Israelis who are unhappy about the cuts imposed by the Israeli government to close its budget deficit, just months after the inauguration of a government elected on promises from rookie politicians like Finance Minister Yair Lapid to protect middle income earners.
Purchase taxes on beer nearly doubled last year as tax authorities sought to limit so called “negative’’ social fallout from alcohol consumption. Despite appeals from the brewers who claimed the tax could risk the closure of start-up enterprises that employ hundreds, the parliament’s finance committee last month voted to make the hike permanent.
Though Mr. Lapid said in a late April speech that the vision behind his fiscal plan was to put “the working man at the center”, Israeli brewers claim the new beer tax hits precisely the small time entrepreneurs the new finance minister pledged to champion.
“We thought that promoting small businesses in rural areas fits his vision,” said Ori Saguy, the chief executive of the Alexander Beer Brewery and the chairman of the association of small brewers.
“The message has not spread,” Mr. Saguy

Singapore: Fraser and Neave shares rise on news of cash payout to shareholders
|
Fraser and Neave Ltd (F&N) shares rose on May, 13 after the Singapore property and drinks company proposed to distribute S$4.73 billion ($3.8 billion) in cash, or S$3.28 per share, to shareholders, Reuters reported.
The proposed cash payout accounts for around 85 percent of the S$5.6 billion proceeds from selling its 40 percent stake in Tiger Beer maker Asia Pacific Breweries Ltd to Dutch company Heineken NV last year.
F&N shares gained as much as 3.7 percent to S$9.21, the highest since April 22. Shares of Thai Beverage surged as much as 6.4 percent to a record of S$0.67. More than 84 million Thai Beverage shares were traded, 1.6 times the average full-day volume over the past 30 days.
Thai billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi, through Thai Beverage and TCC Assets Ltd, is F&N's biggest shareholder. In January, the tycoon won a two-month battle with a group led by Overseas Union Enterprise Ltd for F&N's remaining businesses.
After the cash payout, CIMB Research expects F&N to have a net gearing of 0.17 times and RNAV (revised net asset value) of around S$7.75.
F&N's second-quarter earnings were lifted by its food and beverage as well as property units, CIMB said, adding that the second half of 2013 is

Taiwan: Taiwan to be the first country to taste new Heineken Light beer
|
Taiwan will be the first country to taste Heineken Light, the newest light beer brewed up by Heineken, scheduled to hit store shelves on May 15, The China Post reported on May, 11.
With 140 years history and a market presence in 198 countries, the international brewing company is looking to increase its customer base even more through Heineken Light. The new variety has a lower alcohol content of 3.3 percent and a chic bottle design to attract more urban customers.
The Dutch headquarters choose Taiwan as the launch country for the new product as people here have become more and more open-minded in recent years to embracing new things, according to Heineken Marketing Manager Jeff Wu.
“We hope to provide local customers more options in order to have more fun in their beer consumption,” said Wu.
The Dutch brewer will expand sales channels to unconventional venues, including local cafes serving food and beverages.
