Scientific Digest
A HOLISTIC VIEW ON HOP AROMA IN BEER
ABSTRACT
A very comprehensive overview about hop aroma in
hops and beer was given by Dr. Rettberg at the recent
Microbrew Symposium in Nuremberg. Dr. Rettberg
detailed what is known so far and supported by the
analytic results of his team, starting with the aroma
potential in hops itself and what is left of it in beer.
What and how much is lost in the boil and what
happens in the whirlpool. Also, the influence of yeast
and the extraction time for dry hopping is
controversily discussed.

USA: AB InBev announces acquisition of Colorado-based Breckenridge Brewery
|
Anheuser Busch-InBev is on a craft beer bender, announcing a third acquisition in a five-day span that shows just how important the fast-growing category is to the world’s largest brewer, the Fortune reported on December 22.
On December 22, AB InBev said it agreed to buy Colorado-based Breckenridge Brewery, adding a seventh U.S. craft brewer to a portfolio that already includes Goose Island, Blue Point, and Elysian. AB InBev announced a deal with U.K.-based Camden Town Brewery on December 21 and scooped up Arizona’s Four Peaks Brewing on December 18.
The recent deals are meant to add faster-growing beers to AB InBev’s massive portfolio, which already includes Budweiser and Stella Artois. Because the craft brands are tiny in comparison, they won’t move AB InBev’s sales needle much – though the deals give the craft brewers vast distribution potential.
Breckenridge Brewery is one of the larger craft brands InBev has acquired. It ranked No. 50 on the Brewers Association’s 50 largest U.S. craft brewers in 2014, and sales are expected to reach about 70,000 barrels in 2015. With the deal with InBev, it will eventually be removed from that list – as only small, independent brewers can be included.
Breckenridge will continue to produce

UK: AB InBev buys Camden Town Brewery in London
|
Anheuser-Busch InBev has agreed to buy Camden Town Brewery for an undisclosed price, the companies said on December 21, even as the world's biggest brewer seeks to sell rival London craft brewer Meantime Brewing.
The acquisition is expected to close by 7 January.
AB InBev, which is trying to buy its largest rival SABMiller, is in the process of selling three SAB brands to avoid regulatory scrutiny. The brands being sold are Peroni, Grolsch and Meantime.
With the Camden Town deal, AB InBev gets a European craft brewer that started full production in 2010. It has grown to a team of 95 and sold 12 million pints this year, with the beers sold in over 1,000 pubs and bars.
Camden Town’s owners essentially conceded that the deal made sense for the same reason many small craft brewers have decided to sell: an opportunity to increase distribution.
“We can’t do this on our own,” wrote founder Jasper Cuppaidge in a blog post. “That’s why I’m proud to say I’ve signed a deal with AB InBev.” The deal comes several months after Camden Town launched and completed a funding round via crowdfunding to help build a second brewery in London.

USA: AB InBev set to acquire Arizona’s leading craft brewer Four Peaks Brewing
|
Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV is set to acquire Tempe, Arizona-based Four Peaks Brewing Co. in a move that underscores AB InBev's relentless efforts to strengthen its position in the booming craft beer segment, Nasdaq reported on December 21.
Founded in 1996, Four Peaks is Arizona's leading craft brewer. The company is expected to sell nearly 70,000 beer barrels in 2015. In fact, Four Peaks will continue brewing its beers, including its signature Scottish-style ale Kilt Lifter - the strongest contributor to the company's sales (60%) - even after it joins AB InBev.
This deal, which is anticipated to close in the first quarter of 2016, will mark AB InBev's sixth buyout in the craft and import brands business, since 2011. Consequently, Four Peaks will join AB InBev's superior brands including Goose Island, Blue Point, 10 Barrel, Elysian and Golden Road.
Notably, all craft brewers acquired by AB InBev so far have been based in different states. The addition of these brewers to AB InBev's kitty not only enhances the latter's business, but its solid distribution network also helps these craft brewers to expand their presence in the market. Industry observers expect Four Peaks to benefit in the same lines

Myanmar: Myanmar Beer adjusting to increasing competition on Myanmar beer market
|
Drinkers buying a beer at Yangon’s roadside bar shacks used to face a limited choice: more likely than not, they would order a mug of Myanmar Beer, sometimes with a shot of coarse whisky to give the light local brew an extra kick, Deal Street Asia reported on December 20.
These days there is more variety, thanks to the arrival of Denmark’s Carlsberg and its Dutch rival Heineken, which began brewing in Myanmar this year as economic reforms uncorked a market protected under military rule.
Now, Myanmar Brewery Limited (MBL), the military-linked producer of the old favorite Myanmar Beer and four other brands, faces stiff competition from global giants for a rapidly growing consumer market set to lift beer consumption from among Asia’s lowest.
Just months after opening, Heineken is doing so well it plans to double capacity at its Yangon facility to 50 million litres from 25 million litres, said Lester Tan, managing director at the APB Alliance Brewery Company which produces Heineken.
The company has accelerated an expansion plan it had expected to execute after three or four years, he said.
“Heineken volumes have just gone through the roof, it has taken us all by surprise,” Tan said.
Heineken’s economy brand Regal Seven is

For the purposes of the AB InBev pro forma financial information, the "Transaction" includes the proposed cash offer with a cash and share alternative for the acquisition of SABMiller by AB InBev announced on 11 November 2015, along with the related financing, and the divestiture of SABMiller's interest in the MillerCoors LLC joint venture and the Miller brand portfolio outside of the USA to Molson Coors Brewing Company.

UK: British public increasingly favouring alcohol-free beer
|
A new study by AB InBev UK has found that the British public is increasingly favouring alcohol-free beer products, KamCity reported on December 18.
The study found that 31% of Brits have tried such drinks, with 10% of women enjoying it on a weekly basis and 18% of Londoners drinking it whenever they go out. Londoners were also found to be the most inclined to consume alcohol-free beer, compared to any other UK city.
Additionally, 21% of millennials said they are likely to choose alcohol-free beer in January, an increase of 10% on 2014. Across the UK, 19% of consumers are unable to taste the difference between alcohol and alcohol-free beer, which may go some way to explaining why - among those looking to moderate their alcohol intake in January - 34% will be looking to consume alcohol-free beer. This is an increase of 16% from 2014.
Daytime occasions and weekday evenings are key occasions for alcohol-free beer consumption, with 23% saying they were happy to take it to a festive gathering. For those who are celebrating this year, the most common reason to choose alcohol-free beer is being the designated driver (29%), or not wanting to drink too much and feel
