Scientific Digest


Less skunky with more hops

ABSTRACT
Sunstruck flavor is a widely known off-flavor in beer often described as skunky. It occurs when beer is exposed to sunlight during storage owing to photodecomposition of isohumulonein the presence of riboflavin. Polyphenols are known to be off-flavor inhibitors. Since hops are rich in polyphenols the aim of this study was to specify a suitable hop product and the process parameters to reduce the sunstruck flavor perception in beer. Because of the high total and single polyphenol content the tannin extract was selected for further trials. After exposure to light, the tasting results concluded that the higher the tannin extract level the lower the sunstruck perception.

Brewery news South Africa: Competition Tribunal approves Diageo’s purchase of remaining 50% in Brandhouse Beverages
South Africa's Competition Tribunal has approved Diageo’s purchase of the 50 percent stake it did not already own in local firm Brandhouse Beverages from Heineken, iNVEZZ reported on November 26.

Earlier this year, Diageo and the Dutch brewer ended their distribution joint venture in South Africa, basing the decision on their belief that the respective businesses would fare better alone.

The two drinks companies said that they would call time on the partnership three years earlier than planned, underscoring divergent interests with the spirits and beer categories having performed very differently in recent years.

As part of the deal, Diageo agreed to sell its 25 percent equity stake in South Africa’s Sedibeng brewery to Namibia Breweries and its 15 percent equity stake in Namibia Breweries and 42.25 percent equity stake in Diageo Heineken Drinks, to Heineken. In return, Diageo agreed to acquire the remaining shares it does not already own in Brandhouse Beverages – the joint venture established in 2004 between the drinks giant, Heineken International and Namibia Breweries. The venture was established to sell Diageo’s spirit, RTD, cider and Guinness brands alongside the two other companies’ beer portfolio. On November 25, the Competition Tribunal approved the move on condition that it ...More info on site


Brewery news The Czech Republic & Vietnam: Czech beer becomes increasingly popular with consumers in Vietnam
Czech beer is becoming increasingly popular in Vietnam, and the Vietnamese show a growing demand for restaurants brewing beer under the supervision of Czech brewers, the daily Lidové noviny (LN) wrote on November 27.

Czech brewers have already built around 20 mini breweries in Vietnam, with an annual capacity of several thousand hectolitres each, LN notes.

“Unlike other Asian countries which prefer sweet beer, the Vietnamese drink the Czech type of beer a lot. … This is partly because a number of Vietnamese got used to the European style during their studies or work (in the Czech Republic) and want to have the same after they return home. The number of offers from Vietnam is increasing,” Jan Šuráň, the head of the Czech association of mini breweries, told the daily.

Josef Krýsl, a brewer from Plzeň, western Bohemia, built one brewery in Vietnam several years ago. Now he has received an offer to take part in a project entailing the construction of up to 30 mini breweries, according to LN.

The company LUKR of Krýsl’s brother Luboš and the company Pivo Praha were the first ones to launch the construction of restaurant mini breweries in Vietnam in 2001. They built and put into operation ...More info on site


Brewery news Thailand: Brewers and homebrewers slowly and surely changing the beer scene in Thailand
Koh Kret is a small island located about 20 kilometers north of Thailand's capital city in Nonthaburi province. It's where Wichit Saiklao - friends call him P'Chit - founded Chit Beer, his open-air, riverside microbrewery and the de facto home base of a growing resistance to long-standing laws prohibiting Thai people from brewing and distributing their own beer, CNN reported on November 27.

As outlined in the country's 1950 Liquors Act, those caught doing so face a nominal fine of 200 baht (about $5.50) for brewing, and another 5,000 baht ($140) and/or six months in jail for selling it.

Since launching Chit Beer in 2012, P'Chit has not only committed both acts openly - and paid 10,000 baht ($280) in fines following a minor sting operation - but also trained scores of aspiring homebrewers at his on-site Brewing Academy.

"We all know that brewing is illegal, and I know they can come any time they want and shut this down," says P'Chit.

"But at the same time I want change, and I think the only way we can create change is to create an army of brewers."

On weekdays P'Chit, an active colonel in the Royal Thai Army, manages two IT firms and teaches electrical ...More info on site


Brewery news New Zealand: Moa Group registers a smaller first-half loss
Moa Group confirmed a smaller first-half loss as increased sales volumes helped widen its gross margin, and as the unprofitable craft beer brewer slashed its spending on sales and marketing, The Scoop reported on November 27.

The loss narrowed to NZ$1.7 million, or 3.5 cents per share, in the six months ended Sept. 30, from a loss of NZ$3.2 million, or 9.5 cents, the Auckland-based company said in a statement. Revenue rose 32 percent to NZ$3.3 million on a 43 percent increase in the volume of beer sold to 978,000 litres, while gross margin widened to 29 percent from 20 percent a year earlier.

Total expenses dropped 30 percent to NZ$2.7 million, due largely to a 36 percent decline in Moa's spending on sales and marketing to NZ$1.1 million.

"The board is focused on ensuring bottom line performance continues to improve by increased sales, better margins and tight control of costs," the company said. "The focus markets for Moa remain New Zealand and Australia where our channel to market includes our own sales team."

The company overhauled its business strategy in late 2013, changing to a direct distribution model, shifting focus to the New Zealand and Australian markets, and outsourcing much of its beer ...More info on site


Brewery news India: Bihar chief minister bans alcohol in the state
Shares of liquor making companies were battered on November 26 after Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar said he was fulfilling his poll promise of banning alcohol in the state, The Economic Times reported.

Bihar, Kumar, said will formulate a plan of banning liquor in the state from April 1, 2016. Stock market analysts, however, were not much worried and feel there was nothing more than sentimental impact to the November 26th's fall in liquor stocks. Liquor stocks have witnessed a sharp rally in the past couple of months after announcement of global mergers and takeovers in the segment.

Diageo-controlled United Spirits, UP based Radico Khaitan and United Breweries were the stocks that fell the most as the news of Bihar banning alcohol broke on television channels. While not all companies give state wise break-up of revenues, analysts say less than 3% of United Spirits revenue came from the state.

"At such times, street tends to act more fearful and extrapolate things," said Rajat Rajgariah, head of research, at Mumbai based brokerage Motilal Oswal. "This is more of a sentiment dampener than a number dampener."

United Spirits fell Rs 159 or 4.74% to close at Rs 3,211. Before the news the stock had touched a ...More info on site

Whisky news India & China: Pernod Ricard expects India to overtake China as its second-largest market by sales shortly
Pernod Ricard SA, Europe's second-biggest distiller, expects India to overtake China as its second-largest market by sales shortly as it expects its operations in India to post double-digit growth over the next five to 10 years, Reuters reported citing top executives of the group.

India currently contributes 9 per cent to the group's total sales and is being seen as key growth driver.

"Because of the growth in the middle class and the size of the whisky market in India, we are confident we can keep posting double-digit growth," Pernod Ricard finance chief Gilles Bogaert told Reuters in an interview, adding “It's a fair assumption, based on the growth pattern, that India will soon overtake China from a sales standpoint."

Pernod Ricard, the owner of several brands including Chivas Regal whisky, Absolut vodka, Jameson whiskey and Martell cognac, is also looking to augment its imported brands portfolio in the country, said Guillaume Girard-Reydet, chief executive of its India business.

Meanwhile, the group is looking to launch new products and acquire some brands in its top two markets—the US and China—to perk up growth in these markets.

For the medium term, the group has set an annual sales growth target of 4-5 per cent ...More info on site
