Scientific Digest
From wort to beer, the evolution of hoppy aroma
ABSTRACT
A team of researchers took a deeper look
into the evoluation of hoppy aroma of single hop
beers according to brewing regime. They found
that the level and composition of the floral and
sesquiterpenoid hop oil fraction significantly
changes through the brewing process. Fermentation and centrifugation were identified as
the crucial process steps. They also found that
methyl esters, branched esters, terpenoids as well
as oxidized derivatives of alpha-humulene and
beta-caryophyllene are characteristic for early and
late kettle hopped wort. Highest concentrations of
geraniol and linalool are found in the late hopped
wort. Although dry-hopping has a predominantly
quantitative influence on the volatiles, high
concentrations of compounds like β-citronellol
were found to be characteristic for dry hopping,
which partly explains the often more intense fruity
and citrusy characters of dry hopped beers. Read more

Zimbabwe: SABMiller’s Delta Corp. reports 5% rise in H1 revenue
|
Delta Corp., the Zimbabwean brewer that’s the nation’s biggest company by market value, said first-half revenue climbed 5 percent as an increase in sales of sorghum-based beer offset a decline in lager volumes, Bloomberg reported on October 16.
Revenue from sorghum brews, which comprised 60 percent of sales in Delta’s beer category in the year ended March, rose 9 percent in the six months ended Sept. 30 from a year earlier, the Harare-based company said in a statement on its website. Lager sales fell 10 percent, it said.
“Consumer demand has remained generally soft, a trend that has been evident since the beginning of the calendar year,” Delta said.
Lager-beer sales in Zimbabwe have been curbed after an excise duty increase in December 2012 and a lack of small coinage in a multi-currency economy. Delta is an affiliate of SABMiller Plc, the world’s second-largest brewer, which holds a stake of 25 percent, according to the London-based company’s annual report for the year through March.
Sales of sparkling beverages climbed 8 percent in the first half, Delta said. The company didn’t provide figures in its trading update. Delta will publish the results on Nov. 14.
Zimbabwe emerged from almost a decade of recession when the government

EU: VLB to investigate the problem of gushing in beer
|
"Gushing", where the contents of a beer bottle or can empty when the top or ring pull is removed, can be caused by many factors. Several of these are well understood, and can be controlled by the brewer, but there is a contribution to gushing that correlates with the malt and the barley used, HGCA reports.
It is highly likely that there is an interaction between the malt and other factors, as malt which is associated with gushing in one brewery does not cause it in another. Suspicion rests with fusarium infection of the barley and there is a hypothesis that proteins produced by the mould – called hydrophobins – are a cause of gushing.
To test this hypothesis, and to conduct a wider investigation, the maltsters and brewers of Europe have banded together to fund a research project at the Berlin School of Brewing (VLB).

Africa: Dutch Bavaria brewery to launch new dark beer in Africa
|
The Bavaria brewery from the Netherlands is to launch 8.6 Black, a dark version of its classic Bavaria 8.6 beer on the African market, PackagingEurope reported on October 14.
8.6 Black is the latest addition to the 8.6 range from tradition-steeped Dutch brewers Bavaria. The newcomer, a dark beer, comes in alongside Bavaria’s existing Original, Red and Gold beers. The new beer is brewed on the basis of the classic 8.6 Original. Likewise featuring an alcohol content of 7.9 percent, 8.6 Black hits the shelves first in Africa and Asia, where the stout beers segment is currently seeing enormous growth.
8.6 Black will be launched to start with in Tanzania, Kenya, Mali and Burkina Faso. Thailand, Asia, Canada and the USA will follow, the company said.
Since its foundation in 1680, Bavaria has always used all-natural ingredients. The family-owned Dutch brewery in Lieshout solely uses top-quality water, hand-selected hops and malt from its own malt house.
