Scientific Digest


Hop aroma needs to breathe


ABSTRACT
US researchers are exploring the idea that oxidized hops may be more beneficial than once believed. The exposure to prooxidative conditions led to an increase in the oxygenated fraction of hop aroma compounds and a generalized decrease in the hydrocarbon fraction. The researchers also produced dry hopped beers (using 600g/hl) with oxidized and non-oxidized hops. Panelists were able to detect the flavor difference and the beer produced with the oxidized hops was described as more fruity, floral, and herbal! This may break a German brewer's heart, but maybe oxygen is not always the bad guy... May this also have an impact on flavor stability?

Brewery news Nigeria: Beer industry competition intensifies as brewers adjust strategies
A change in strategy by Nigeria’s dominant brewers has intensified competition in the sector, BusinessDay reported on September 1.

Nigerian Breweries (NB), the country’s largest brewer by market value, and Guinness Nigeria (GN) are the dominant players who are adjusting to the fluid alcoholic beverage market.

“GN had previously been happy to concentrate on the premium segment, leaving the value segment and the mainstream to NB; however, consumers’ low spending power has prompted GN to change tack,” said Omair Ansari, SSA breweries analyst at Renaissance Capital, in an August 27 note.

“Historically, advertising spend amounted to around 5 percent of revenue, but we see this increasing in the future, as competition intensifies among the three largest brewers. NB has a larger distribution network and is more efficient from a cost perspective than GN, and we do not believe this will change. We believe GN will experience a pick-up in costs as it attempts to regain lost market share,” he said.

Ansari added that with the proposed consolidation of NB and Consolidated Breweries, NB would retain its dominant position in the market place, accounting for close to 70 percent of market share.

Brewery news India: United Breweries’ Vijay Mallya declared 'wilful defaulter' by United Bank of India
The wilful defaulter tag stamped on Vijay Mallya by United Bank of India on September 1 will potentially cut off bank finance for UB Group companies, empower banks to change managements at defaulting firms and initiate criminal proceedings against Mallya and force him to quit company boards, LiveMint.com reported.

The Kolkata-based bank has declared Mallya and three Kingfisher Airlines Ltd directors—A.K. Ganguly, Subhash Gupte and Ravi Nedungadi— as wilful defaulters. According to Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines, once a wilful defaulter notice is issued, the borrower has 15 days to defend himself in front of the bank.

“The wilful defaulter tag ensures that the borrower and any firm on the board of which he is a director, will not get a loan from any financial institution henceforth. Banks can also initiate loan recovery options aggressively,” said an official at a state-run bank seeking anonymity, since his bank has an exposure to Kingfisher Airlines.

According to Mint research, Mallya is on the board of Bayer CropScience Ltd, Kingfisher Airlines, Mangalore Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd, Sanofi India Ltd, United Breweries Ltd, United Breweries (Holdings) Ltd and United Spirits Ltd.

“Creditors and shareholders of these companies should ask the board to remove ...More info on site


Brewery news South Africa: SABMiller launching small-scale “speciality” beer brand
The South African Breweries (SAB) — which commands about a 90% share of the local beer market — is dipping its toes into the fast-growing craft beer segment again, with a small-scale "speciality" brand to be launched later this month, Business Day Live reported on September 1.

The rise of craft beer, typically brewed by independent microbreweries, has been fuelled in recent years by beer festivals and a growing number of restaurants and bars selling their often unique products.

With the belief that the craft beer niche promotes the beer category as a whole, SAB has supported microbreweries by sponsoring festivals, supplying ingredients at cost price and offering its expertise. It has also begun to offer nontraditional types of beers, including its flavoured Flying Fish beer.

Parent company SABMiller — the world’s second-biggest brewer — has also stepped up its focus on the niche segment, particularly in the US where it has launched new craft-styled brands and acquired others.

SAB said last week its new small-batch beer brand, called No3 Fransen Street, would be distributed to only about 70 outlets in Gauteng, and would offer Cream Ale, Irish Red Ale and Krystal Weiss draughts.

The speciality beers would be brewed at SAB’s recently redeveloped Fransen ...More info on site


Brewery news India: Kingfisher Premium beer brand proclaimed as one of India’s most valuable brands
Kingfisher Premium, the flagship brand from United Breweries Limited, has been proclaimed as one of the most valuable Indian brand by the BrandZ™ - Top 50 Most Valuable Indian Brands ranking. Valuated and conducted by Millward Brown in conjunction with WPP, this is the only study in India that keenly measures consumer opinions in gauging a brand's business success.

Apart from being the only beer brand to be featured in the Top 50 ranking, Kingfisher Premium also bagged the award for the 'Most Differentiated Brand' - testimony of the brand's unvarying mantra to 'set the trends' by staying ahead of the curve and giving its consumers a taste of the novel. Renowned for ushering in the 'Good Times', the brand reflects this spirit through its pioneering associations with major sports, fashion and music events.

In India, the survey studied 800 different brands across 60 categories. This intensive in-market consumer research differentiates the Brandz methodology from competitors that rely only on a panel of experts or purely financial and market desk research. Globally the research covers 2 million consumers and more than 10,000 different brands in over 30 countries.

Samar Singh Sheikhawat, Senior Vice President - Marketing, United Breweries Ltd. said, "Kingfisher Premium is ...More info on site


Brewery news USA: Philippines’ San Miguel beer expands distribution to three more states
Due to growing consumer demand in the United States for San Miguel’s beer brands, the Philippines company is expanding San Miguel’s distribution in California, Arizona and Nevada, Inquirer.net reported on September 1.

San Miguel Corporation granted exclusive importing rights to G.K. Skaggs as a result of their successful longstanding partnership.

G.K Scaggs currently imports and distributes San Miguel Beer to 20 of the US States including the leading market of Hawaii.

“We are thrilled that G.K. Skaggs will now be an exclusive importer for San Miguel Beer throughout these new territories. We look forward to the exponential growth of our brand as a result,” San Miguel said in a press statement.


Brewery news USA: MillerCoors names new CEO of Tenth and Blake Beer Company
Coors Distributing Company president Scott Whitley has been tapped as the new CEO of MillerCoors’ craft and import division, Tenth and Blake Beer Company, brewbound.com reported on September, 2.

Effective October 1, Whitley will replace outgoing CEO Tom Cardella, who is retiring at the end of the year.

In a note to employees, MillerCoors CEO Tom Long describes Whitley as a “uniquely qualified” veteran with more than 33 years in the beer industry.

“As president of Coors Distributing Company in Denver since 2008, Scott has gained invaluable experience in growing a diverse portfolio of craft and import brands, including leading brands from Blue Moon Brewing Company and Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company,” the letter said.

Tenth and Blake, whose headquarters are in Chicago, markets a variety of craft and import beverages including those from Blue Moon Brewing, Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing, Henry Weinhard’s, Pilsner Urquell, Peroni and Crispin Cider, among others.

Whitley previously held a number of senior roles, including vice president of integration planning at MillerCoors, vice president of global strategy at Molson Coors and chief market development officer at Molson Coors Canada.
