Brewery News

0 Japan: Kirin stays ahead of Asahi in beer shipments in January-March

Kirin Brewery Co. barely remained ahead of Asahi Breweries Ltd. in terms of beer shipments in the January-March period, according to data released Wednesday by the nation's top five beer producers, Kyodo News International reported April 11.

Asahi, however, closed in on Kirin by raising its market share to 37.1 percent while Kirin's share was 37.5 percent, according to the data.

The close race between the two firms is expected to continue. Asahi came top in the shipment rankings for the six years through 2006 on a calendar-year basis. Kirin shipped 36.50 million cases in the January-March quarter. One case contains 20 633-milliliter bottles.

Kirin’s total of beer and beer-like shipments dipped 2.2 percent year on year with the sales of low-malt, "happoshu" beer and beer-like, so-called third-category products losing steam. But regular beer sales rose thanks to the release of a new product in March.

Shipments by Asahi climbed 3.2 percent to 36.05 million cases because sales of its happoshu and third-category beer began picking up last September. As a result, the difference between the market shares of Kirin and Asahi narrowed by 2.0 percentage points from a year earlier to 0.4 percentage point.

Sapporo Breweries Ltd. came third with a 13.1 percent market ...

0 Australia: Promising new Victorian barley variety still undergoing commercial malting and pilot brewing trials

The Chairman of the Western Region Barley Council (WRBC) Steve Tilbrook said the promising new variety was still undergoing commercial malting and pilot brewing trials, and farmers should have no expectations at this stage, Seed Quest reported April 12.

Mr Tilbrook said Buloke’s grain yield was very competitive against Stirling, Hamelin, Gairdner and Baudin.

“In statewide variety evaluation trials conducted by the Department of Agriculture and Food over the four seasons of 2003 to 2006, it out yielded Baudin and Gairdner by six per cent, and Hamelin and Stirling by ten per cent. It also has a better over-all disease resistance package than the other four varieties,” Mr Tilbrook said.

“There is understandably strong interest in Buloke. However, Barley Australia is still carrying out commercial acceptance trials, and there are many decisions yet to be made. There should be no expectation that Buloke will be accredited as a malting barley, and no expectation that it will be received as a malting barley in Western Australia,” Mr Tilbrook said.

“Once trials are complete, the WRBC will review the results and their implications for WA,” he said.

“It will then be up to member companies such as the Grain Pool, Joe White Maltings and Kirin Australia to ...
