ABSTRACT
Finding an easy analysis to identify a hop variety or even
the growing region has proven to be challenging up to now.
A U.S. research team is currently developing a GCSulfur-
Chemiluminescence method in combination with a
Gertl Twister(TM) for sample preparation to determine the hop
variety and also the growing region. After establishing a data
library, the variety matching was proven to work. For the
regional matching, the proof of concept is viable but further
work needs to be carried out.

USA: Proximity Malt nearing completion of construction of its Delaware malting plant
|
Specialty malted grain producer Proximity Malt LLC is nearing completion of construction on its new Laurel, Delaware processing plant, several local news organizations reported this week. The company said it hopes to make its first shipment of product manufactured at the site by Christmas, the Powder Bulk Solids reported on November 30.
Serving end users in the beer brewing industry, the Laurel plant has a planned capacity of 25,000 tonnes/yr of malts produced from wheat, barley, and other grains, according to a December 2015 company press release announcing the project. The company said it intends to hire 20 full-time staff at the plant.
“We really liked the site,” Amy Germershausen of Proximity’s sales and marketing department told the Seaford Morning Star this August. “It had an existing grain elevator which wasn’t the prettiest, [as] it had been abandoned for several years, but the concrete silos were sound, and it’s perfect for the various product segmentation that we want to do with malt, with our finished product.”
Proximity’s reasoning for selecting the Laurel location was its proximity to the area’s grain growers. The firm is also building another malt processing plant in Monte Vista, CO. Both sites will contain pilot malting and roasting labs

World: More brewers start experimenting with malt rather than hops
|
Heavily-hopped beers may be on the way out as farmers continue to raise the cost of their crops, according to Sharp’s beer sommelier Ed Hughes.
“The beer industry has been too hop-centric for several years,” Hughes told the Drinks Business.
“What we’re starting to see now is more brewers experimenting with traditional flavourings like malted barley.”
Hops have dominated the craft brewing for nearly a decade, but a combination of high demand and new agricultural advances could mean that the crop’s reign is coming to an end.
A new study published this week has found even more notable differences in the taste of beers malted from barley varieties than previously thought.
The researchers, led by Oregon State University, said the findings are an important first step toward a potential new market for beer connoisseurs.
Pat Hayes, one of the experts leading the study, told Eurekalert: “We started this project with a question: Are there novel flavours in barley that carry through malting and brewing and into beer? This is a revolutionary idea in the brewing world. We found that the answer is yes.”
“These positive beer flavour attributes provide new opportunities for brewers and expanded horizons for consumers.”
The news comes as hop farmers continue to raise the

Malaysia: Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia posts dip in net profit despite stronger revenue in Q3 2017
|
Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia Bhd posted a slight dip in net profit in its third quarter of the financial year 2017 despite stronger revenue, as earnings were dragged by trade offer adjustments in Singapore, The Edge Markets reported on November 30.
Net profit slid 2% year-on-year to RM42.85 million in the three months ended Sept 30, 2017 (3QFY17), from RM43.61 million, its income statement filed to Bursa Malaysia on November 30 showed. It said the adjustments in Singapore relate to provisions for trade offers of RM18.2 million, of which RM14.2 million relates to prior years.
After excluding trade offer adjustments by its subsidiary Carlsberg Singapore Pte Ltd (CSPL), the group's organic net profit grew 19.8% to RM54.7 million, driven by strong performance in Malaysia operations, it said in a separate statement.
Revenue grew 8% to RM423.51 million from RM393.31 million, as sales at its Malaysian operations grew 18%, driven by stronger demand for the group's flagship brands, Carlsberg Green Label and Carlsberg Smooth Draught.
"Premium brands like Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc, Somersby Cider and Connor's Stout Porter continued to deliver double-digit growth in sales. Profit from operations increased by RM16.7 million or 47.9% in this quarter arising from better product mix as well as effective cost

Australia: AB InBev buys Australian craft brewer Pirate Life
|
The world's biggest beer company, Anheuser-Busch InBev, has continued its acquisition spree of smaller craft brewers in Australia, this time snapping up the Pirate Life operations in Adelaide, The Financial Review reported on November 30.
It comes just two months after AB InBev bought Sydney craft beer company 4 Pines, as the global giant accelerates in a craft beer sector that is growing much faster than the stagnant mainstream beer industry.
AB InBev already owns the Carlton & United Breweries business in Australia that makes Victoria Bitter and Carlton Draught.
AB InBev's president of Asia Pacific South, Jan Craps, said on November 30 that the company would also inject A$10 million into Pirate Life for a new brewery for the brand because it had outgrown its facilities in the inner western suburb of Hindmarsh in Adelaide.
"With its focus on canned packaging that gives consumers fresh, well-crafted beers and consistent quality, Pirate Life has resonated with Australian beer drinkers who want something different," Mr Craps said.
The purchase price was undisclosed. Pirate Life produces about 3 million litres of beer annually, and when the new brewery is up and running that will accelerate to about 8 million litres.
Pirate Life was founded in 2014 by Jack

Nigeria: Nigerian Breweries to reconsider composition of its board
|
The board of Nigerian Breweries Plc has scheduled a meeting to reconsider the composition of the board of the second most capitalised quoted company in Nigeria, The Nation Newspaper reported on November 29.
A regulatory filing at the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) indicated that the company has scheduled a meeting of its directors for December 8 to consider the board changes.
However, details of the changes in the composition were not available. Such changes usually take the form of reconsideration of the appointments of some directors or reduction or expansion of the size of the board.
Already, the Nigeria’s largest brewer, which is owned majorly by Heineken International, has a 16-member board of directors. Heineken N.V holds a majority equity stake of about 55.95 per cent while some 111,342 Nigerian and foreign individuals and associations hold the balance of about 44.05 per cent.
There are nine non executive directors against seven executive directors currently on the board of the brewer. The board consists of 10 Nigerian directors and six foreign directors. Most Nigerians are non-executive directors. The Nigerian non-executive directors include Chief Kola Jamodu, chairman; Mr Olusegun Adebanji, Chief Samuel Bolarinde, Mr. Obadiah Mailafia, Mrs Ndidi Nwuneli, Mrs Ifueko Okauru and Mr Atedo Peterside.

USA: Boston Beer’s exotic Utopias beers not helping the company out of its predicament
|
Boston Beer founder and Chairman Jim Koch is both one of the brewer's greatest assets and also one of its biggest liabilities. His love of craft beer is evident in his willingness to use the best, sometimes most expensive ingredients to create great-tasting beverages, but his inability to stay focused seemingly keeps Boston Beer from being able to turn its business around, The Motley Fool reported on November 25.
The introduction of the 10th edition of Samuel Adams Utopias is a case in point. A high-end beer that's only brewed every other year, it challenges the notion of what a beer can become. It's more like a fine liqueur, and at $200 a bottle is not something everyone can afford. Or get their hands on. Only 13,000 bottles of Utopias are expected to hit the shelves 2017, and they typically sell out right away.
One of the more notable features of the Utopias is their alcohol content, which clocks in at 28% by volume and makes it illegal in about a dozen or more states. To put that into context, Anheuser-Busch InBev's Budweiser is 5% ABV, the same as Samuel Adams Boston Lager, while wine can run around 11% ABV. Mead can

Japan: Kirin Brewery to raise prices of some of its beers and other products
|
Kirin Brewery Co. said on November 28 that it will raise the prices of some of its food service-use beer and quasi-beer, and liquor products, starting with shipments on April 1, 2018, The Japan News reported.
The price hike, the first in some 10 years for the Kirin Holdings Co. unit, reflects rising distribution costs and a liquor tax law revision. The amended law, which took effect in June, prohibits sales of alcoholic beverages at excessively low prices.
The hike will affect some of Kirin’s barreled and bottled beer, “happoshu” low-malt quasi-beer and so-called third-segment beer-like drinks, and liquor-based beverages for restaurants.
Prices of bottled beer products for liquor shops will also be raised. Retail prices of large bottled beer are expected to rise by some 10 percent.
Meanwhile, Kirin will keep the prices of its canned products unchanged.
Among rivals, Asahi Breweries Ltd. and Suntory Holdings Ltd. earlier announced their plans to conduct price hikes next spring.
