Scientific Digest
The answer to a lot of questions?
ABSTRACT
The dream of all hop aroma researchers is to identify all
sensory relevant components that cause the different
unique hop aromas in beer. Maybe Inui et al have come
pretty close to answering at least some important
related questions. Brewing five single variety trial beers
(with Hallertauer Mittelfrueh, Hallertauer Tradition, Saaz,
Perle, Cascade) they looked into the correlation of six
specified sensory aroma characteristics in beer with
analytical results of GCxGC/TOF-MS measurements.
The relevant components to six generic hop aroma
characteristics were verified by multivariate analysis of
organoleptic evaluation together with component
analysis results. Those components with significant
differences among five hopped beers were selected.
These initially 297 could further be narrowed down to
67 compounds. Their conclusion is that hop aroma in
beer probably consists of more than 100 compounds,
and some of these are only present below their
threshold concentration. However, these compounds
may show influences on aroma or flavor in beer by the
effect of other coexisting compounds in beer.
Therefore, it is incomplete to estimate the key
components in hoppy aroma in beer just from
thresholds and GC-O results.

Ireland: Heineken Ireland CEO calls on the Government to reverse the planned increase in beer excise
|
The head of Heineken Ireland has called on the Government to reverse the 18 per cent increase in excise on beer, saying it will be damaging for publicans, exports, tourism and jobs, The Irish Times reported on October 25.
Maggie Timoney criticised the Government’s decision to levy a second consecutive year of excise increases on alcohol, saying the average price of an alcoholic drink in Ireland is now among the most expensive in Europe.
While the lower VAT rate will have a positive impact on publicans, she said the excise increase on alcohol prices could lead to further pub closures and job losses.
Roughly 1,000 pubs have closed in the past five years, with per capita consumption down one-third since 2000, she said.
“The excise is so egregious we need to look for a reversal of that 18 per cent excise. We need to start rebuilding the economy and help publicans,” she said.
She said the excise duty has increased by nearly 40 per cent in the last two years, which would affect pubs, tourism and exports.
“We need to fuel the economy. The pub is the hub of the community. We need to help the publicans out, not add more taxes that is going to

Denmark: Carlsberg aims to remove a rule in its charter determining the majority shareholder’s minimum stake
|
Danish brewer Carlsberg said on October 25 its majority stakeholder, the Carlsberg Foundation, aims to remove a rule in its charter which says that the foundation is obliged to own at least 25 percent of the company.
The company also said its Supervisory Board intends to propose at the next annual shareholders' meeting that dividend payouts should equal at least 25 percent of adjusted net profit.
"If such a payout ratio had been applied for 2012, the dividend paid would have been more than 50 percent higher," the company said.

The Czech Republic: Pilsner Urquell raises prices of its bottled and canned beer
|
The leading Czech beer producer, Pilsner Urquell, has announced a slight increase in the prices of its bottled and canned beer on the domestic market. The Plzeň-based group says it will not raise the price of its world-famous brew sold in kegs and tanks, ostensibly to attract more people to pubs and restaurants. But experts say the move will do little to reverse the trend which has seen more and more Czechs having a beer at home rather than out on the town, Radio.cz reported on October 24.
Every autumn, Pilsner Urquell raises the prices of its beer to match the inflation and higher ingredient costs. This year, however, the increase will only apply to its bottled and canned beer, and will be very moderate – on November 1, the prices of bottled Urquell, Gambrinus, Radegast and Velkopopovický Kozel will rise by 0.7 percent. Kateřina Krásová is a spokeswoman for Pilsner Urquell, part of the multinational brewing company SABMiller.
“The current price adjustment will only affect beer in bottles and cans; the prices of kegs and tank beer will remain the same. We believe this will also contribute to our efforts to support beer culture in the Czech Republic, and it will

USA: Tax and Trade Bureau resumes its activities as government shutdown ends
|
The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) — the federal agency that approves new beer labels and brewing companies – is once again operational following a 16-day government shutdown that ended October 17, reports Brewbound.
“We understand that the shutdown imposed hardships on many of you, the industry members we regulate, and on the public we serve,” the agency wrote On October 22 in its newsletter. “We want to assure you that TTB is committed to reducing the impact of the shutdown in as many ways as possible, and as quickly as possible, to lessen the effects on your business operations.”
The branch officially resumed its operations last Thursday, October 17.
The TTB said it is currently reviewing brewing applications and label submissions that were automatically rejected during the shutdown. It will also add 21 days to the status date for all applications that were in a “needs correction” status prior to the shutdown.
The backlog could have delayed the production of some seasonal craft beer offerings, like New Belgium Brewing’s new Spring Blonde. Earlier this month, New Belgium spokesman Bryan Simpson told USA Today that the company would need to pay extra for rush delivery of its new labels if the

UK: Scottish brewer releases the world’s strongest beer at 67.5%
|
Scottish brewer Brewmeister has released the world’s strongest beer named Snake Venom at a whopping 67.5%. The new product beats their own record beer Armageddon at 65%, which was released last year, Brewbound reported on October 24.
The beer contains special ingredients to achieve such a high volume of alcohol including smoked peat malt and two types of yeast: beer yeast and champagne yeast.
Unlike normal beers, Snake Venom is freeze distilled, a process whereby the fermented beer is frozen and ice is removed to increase the concentration of beer.
Lewis Shand of Brewmeister said, “Unlike Armageddon, Snake Venom is not designed to mask the taste of the alcohol. The alcohol is very strong but the beer still tastes like a beer rather than a spirit. It’s hoppy, malty and very pleasant”.
Snake Venom is so strong that Brewmeister has put a warning label on the neck of the bottle warning drinkers to beware.
Aberdeen University in collaboration with Brewmeister will be testing the beer to confirm the brewery results.
The beer is currently sold online for £50.

World: Feed barley exports from the EU increase this year
|
Feed barley export sales for this year’s crop were concluded at the beginning of the calendar year, mostly for optional origins.
As Australia and Argentina were sold out for old crop barley, and Black Sea sellers started slowly into the new campaign, EU barley gained a large share of the early barley shipments to North Africa and the Middle East. Malting barley shipments of 150,000 tons to Russia, South America and China completed a program of 3.4 mln tons in less than three months of the grain year, industry analysts reported at the beginning of October.
More than 2 mln tons were shipped from France and Germany, but the U.K., Baltic and Black Sea ports, even Spain participated in the business, too. Barley shipments as of the beginning of October were almost 1.6 mln tons ahead of last year, just like wheat with 6.2 mln vs. 3.3 mln tons a year ago.

USA: USDA crop reports will continue to be released during CME Group Inc trading hours
|
A top U.S. Agriculture Department official said key monthly U.S. crop reports will continue to be released during CME Group Inc trading hours, despite complaints from the grain industry that high-speed traders have access to the data before it becomes available on public websites, Reuters reported on October 22.
"This business of the markets being open during the release of the reports is not going away and will stay with us for a while," Gerald Bange, chairman of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's World Agricultural Outlook Board, told a group of agricultural economists and traders at a meeting in Chicago.
Since last year, when the USDA began releasing its key monthly crop reports while the CME grain markets were open, hedgers have complained bitterly that high-speed traders armed with algorithms and super-fast data feeds have distorted the price discovery function of the markets. Previously, the reports were released when the markets were closed.
On the sidelines of the industry meeting between USDA government officials and market analysts, Bange told Reuters that USDA made the change at the request of CME more than a year ago.

USA, ID: Idaho malting barley contract prices are higher than expected
|
The new leaders of the Idaho Barley Commission say the future looks bright for malting barley, with 2014 contracts coming in higher than they expected.
Idaho Barley Commission leaders say they’ve been pleasantly surprised by 2014 malting barley contract prices that are relatively strong compared with wheat, Capital Press reported on October 23.
Though malting barley contract prices have been below last year’s levels, new IBC Chairman Pat Purdy, a Blaine County farmer and rancher, said he’s been pleased, nonetheless, to see them hovering slightly above $13 per hundredweight.
“From our point of view, we’re a lot more motivated to plant barley again this year than to try wheat again. I think it’s a very favorable (barley) price,” Purdy said. “I do expect we should see some acres move into barley.”
Barley prices typically run $1.50 to $2 per bushel below wheat. Lately, the gap has narrowed to about 75 cents per bushel, Purdy explained. Malting barley has significant advantages over wheat, requiring less nitrogen to raise and having contracts with an act of God clause, which Purdy explained protects growers who sustain weather-related crop losses from penalization for their inability to supply the full contract amount.
IBC Administrator Kelly Olson anticipates barley acreage will
