Scientific Digest
The hop flavour database
ABSTRACT
By number, about 450 flavour volatiles in beer are hop derived. In this very ambitous work, M.
Zunkel catalogued all this components according to their origin, flavour thresholds, flavour
description, molecular structure and references. The outcome is an impressive excel list that could be called the hop flavour bible. An excerpt of the database was presented as a poster at the ASBC annual meeting and the entire database will soon be available through the ASBC.

USA, NY: Grimm Artisanal Ales to open in New York
|
Grimm Artisanal Ales announced the release of the first batch of beer called “From the Hip”. Only twenty barrels of this limited edition beer will be made, Beer Pulse reported on June, 18.
Beginning in July 2013, the beers will be available on draft in craft beer bars across New York City as well as a select few outlets in upstate New York including Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, and Albany.
A small portion of the company’s production will be bottled, and will be available in boutique bottle shops across the state.
As New York City’s only brewers specializing in beers inspired by Belgium’s freewheeling brewing traditions, Grimm Artisanal Ales’ approach is to make sophisticated yet inventive ales that push boundaries.
Being a small upstart company, Grimm Artisanal Ales’ business model is based on principles of the shared economy; rather than investing in their own physical space, they brew their beer in other breweries’ facilities, helping them to keep their brewing pipeline full and benefitting both parties. Each recipe is extensively tested in the company’s Brooklyn home, before they travel to their host brewery to and leave the beer to ferment on-site until it is ready to be kegged or bottled.

USA, FL: MIA Brewing Company to open in Doral this fall
|
MIA Brewing Company's honey wheat beer or IPA known under the brand Most Wanted is hoping all that good word of mouth and multiple tastings will get paid back when the brewery opens to the public in Doral this fall, New Times Miami reported on June, 20.
The company recently changed its name to Mia Brewing after the owners discovered that High Plains Distillery in Kansas makes Most Wanted Vodka, but the new name seems to fit the brand better, according to Piero Rodriquez, brew master for MIA.
"In a way, we're happier because MIA links us to Miami in a much more obvious and fitting way than Most Wanted did." The names of the beers -- such as Crimin Ale and Hops & Robbers -- will stay on.
The space they prepared for the brewery’s opening looks empty now, but Piero assures us that things will start moving fast. The large-scale equipment, capable of turning out 600 gallons of beer every four hours, will arrive in July, and the tap room is slated for an October opening.
"By next year, it's going to be all about breweries here in Miami. We put out a good product, and so does Wynwood Brewing

Canada, ON: The Hamilton Brewery to open by the end of the year
|
After years of depending on other Ontario towns and cities to supply its craft beer needs, Hamilton will soon be home to a small brewery of its own, Canadian Beer News reported on June, 20.
The Hamilton Brewery is being launched by Warren Pyper, a chef and ex-military master corporal with an interest in craft beer that began during a visit to New Zealand.
With the assistance of several family members, Pyper is preparing to install a brew house and retail outlet in a 4200 square foot warehouse in the north end of Hamilton, Ontario, with an aim to start selling three core brands – “an easy-drinkin’ west coast pale ale, a creamy Irish red and a hoppy India pale ale” – and assorted seasonals by the end of 2013.

USA, TX: Saint Arnold Brewing Co. starts selling bottles of Bishop’s Barrel No. 3
|
Saint Arnold Brewing Co.’s owners will no longer have to leave their brewery to purchase bottles of beer. Thanks to a recently approved package of brewery bills, the Houston brewery will begin selling bottles on the premises, Houston Business Journal reported on June, 18.
The sale follows the June, 14 approval of Texas' legislative package of brewery bills, which allowed craft breweries to sell limited amounts of their beer for on-premise consumption.
The sale at Saint Arnold's location in Houston will be the first time that the brewery has sold beer directly to a consumer.
The new laws raise production limits on Texas brewpubs and allow them to sell beer to wholesale distributors, which will level the playing field with out-of-state brewpubs that were already allowed to sell their beer in Texas.
Saint Arnold brewery tours began on Monday, June 17th.

USA, NC: Ship Bottom Brewing is the newest and tiniest brewery in Delco
|
Fully licensed and operational, Ship Bottom is brewing up minuscule batches of two barrels each, or enough to fill just over 100 six-packs - if it had a bottling line. It is the newest and tiniest new brewery in Delco, North Carolina, Philly reported on June, 20.
If small beer makers like Sly Fox and Yards are known as microbreweries, Ship Bottom is a nanobrewery; all of its product are draft and are distributed mainly to three or four bars around Media.
Rob Zarko, the owner, started the business as a hobby. Over the years, he added equipment and experimented with various recipes. A couple of years ago - about the time that he built an electronic monitoring panel that could be controlled with his Smartphone - Zarko realized that it had become more than a hobby.
"I was investing more and more money into home-brewing," he said. "I was making 10-gallon batches every weekend, more beer than I could possibly drink. I shared it with friends, and people would tell me it's pretty good."
Nanobrewing is very young, it has no legal definition. Generally, it's a brewing system that makes less than four barrels at a time, and fewer than 500 barrels

Belgium: Trappist brewery production under threat from expansion of a limestone quarry
|
Since 1595 the Notre-Dame de Saint-Remy-Rochefort abbey in southern Belgium has been plundered, invaded and ravaged by fire, but still today the monks rise each morning to brew a potent dark ale prized the world over for its depth and flavour, The Independent communicated on June, 20.
Now production at one of the world's eight remaining Trappist breweries is again under threat, this time from the expansion of a limestone quarry which will cut off their water supply.
The Belgian monks who brew Rochefort say the water from a nearby well is crucial to taste of their sought-after ale, which frequently appears in lists of the best beers in the world.
But plans by a limestone mining company to deepen a quarry in the vicinity of the Abbey threaten to plug the water source that the monks have relied upon for centuries. The Flanders News website reported that the mining firm, Lhoist, had offered to dig more wells to supply the monastery, but the monks are wary that the flavour will simply not be the same.
“We only have guarantees about the quantity, not about the quality of the water,” said a spokesman for Rochefort, Christopher De Doncker. Negotiations are continuing, with beer-lovers hoping

China: Beijing enjoying microbrewery boom
|
China consumed 59.3 billion litres of alcohol in 2012 - nearly double the amount drunk in the U.S. Beer accounted for 84% of that figure, according to market research firm Euromonitor. Yet per capita, Chinese consumption was only about 35 litres annually - less than half of the United States, according to Bloomberg - and still has enormous room to grow, CNN reported on June, 20.
That has led to a microbrewery boom in Beijing. "There's a whole slew of places that are about to emerge," said Ryan O'Neal Johnston, owner of Beijing's The Drive-Thru Bar. "For anyone interested in anything besides lagers and Tsingtao, it's on."
Carl Setzer is a 31-year old native of Cleveland, Ohio, who had barely touched alcohol until he was 25. After college, he landed in Shiyan, Hubei Province where an agency found him work at Dongfeng Motors. Setzer, an IT specialist, walked away from his lucrative career and jumped into the microbrewery business because he saw a niche. "Never let a market that has a requirement go unsupplied," said Setzer, who opened Great Leap Brewing in October 2010.
Last year, Great Leap grossed $225,000 with China's low operating costs cutting into only about a quarter of that

UK: SY Venture – now the highest-yielding winter malting barley for brewing on the HGCA Recommended List
|
A new, high-yielding winter malting barley variety, only launched last summer, has received industry recognition for its malting quality – by being awarded Full Approval for brewing use by the Institute of Brewing and Distilling, Western Morning News reported on June 19th.
SY Venture, from Syngenta, is now the highest-yielding winter malting barley which has Full IBD approval for brewing on the 2013/2014 HGCA Recommended List, said Syngenta cereal campaign manager Mark Britton.
With its UK treated yield of 101% of controls, he said it also showed a 5% yield increase over a number of established winter malting barley varieties on the list. And now, this latest promotion by the IBD also demonstrated that Venture had met the quality standards for malting required by end users, he added.
"With growers currently considering which varieties to grow for next season, the promotion of Venture to Full Approval has come at an ideal time," said Mr Britton. "It will give farmers even greater confidence to plant it this autumn. This is especially so since Venture is also a practical variety to grow. For example, not only is it high yielding, but it also combines its high yield with stiff straw – having very good resistance

Sri Lanka: Sri Lankans shifting towards drinking beer packed in aluminum cans
|
A shift in the consumption pattern of Sri Lankans towards strong beers packed in aluminum cans has been registered according to Piramal Glass Ceylon PLC’s reports of June 20th.
Chairman of the company, Vijay Shah in his review made to the firm’s latest annual report says, this factor along with several others impacted its domestic sales volumes.
According to him, the major decline has been in the Liquor segment which plays a vital part in the Piramal’s local sales.
“Part of our low end liquor market was lost to the cheap second-hand low quality liquor bottles which were imported into the Country”, Vijay revealed.
However, despite the drop experienced in the domestic market, the firm’s profit after tax during the financial year 2012 /13 has seen a year-on-year growth of 6-pct to stand at Rs. 725 million.
The company has earned Rs. 1.37 billion as export income during the reference year, an increase of 12-pct.
Vijay believes diversification of the firm’s export mix has helped the growth and also has reduced its dependence on the fiercely competitive Indian market.
“We have diversified our mix of export markets to now include Australia and New Zealand where we have launched several new products in different shapes and colours”,
