Scientific Digest
Discoveries in the bitter reception world
ABSTRACT
Flavonoids and Isoflavonoids, not only from hops but
also from other plants, are in the focus of several
health related investigations and potent candidates
for nutraceuticals. However they have a relatively
strong bitter taste. These researchers discovered the
relevant bitter taste receptors for these compounds
namely hTAS2R14, a recepter that has been regarded
as a more broadly tuned receptor (also know to
interact with isohumulones), and hTAS2R39 a less
"famous" bitter receptor. These Dutch researchers
were able to identify many different flavonoids as
intrinsically bitter and elucidated the structural
requirements for bitterness of (iso)flavonoids.
However their objective is not to take advantage of
the bitterness these compounds cause but rather to
prevent the introduction of bitter taste in the design
of functional foods enriched with (iso)flavonoid
bioactives. Isn't this bitter? Read more

Australia: Asahi Premium Beverages to facilitate the production of one-off craft beers
|
Asahi Premium Beverages will acquire a pilot brewery to facilitate production of one-off beers for recently acquired boutique brand Cricketers Arms, as the Laverton, Victoria site increases its overall focus on beer, The Shout reported on November 22.
Beer currently represents just five per cent of the output of the former Independent Distillers facility, which to date has been predominately about production of ready-to-drink spirits.
But beer is forecast to eventually represent 25 per cent of production, following the redevelopment of the Laverton plant with considerable investment by new owner Asahi.
Unveiling the new kit this week, Asahi Premium Beverages CEO Greg Ellery told journalists the future growth in beer production will come from Cricketers Arms, as well as the company’s private label business, for which it already counts Coles, Woolworths and Aldi as customers.
“It’s very common knowledge, we’re very acquisitive,” he added.
“We’ll continue to buy businesses that we believe fit our portfolio.”
Ellery said Cricketers Arms will be developed to an optimum scale of 400,000-plus cases annually, which he believes would still preserve its credibility as a craft beer brand.
“How big do you take Cricketers before it loses its sexiness [or] quirkiness? We won’t take it over that level,” he said.

Australia: Molson Coors and Coca-Cola Amatil introduce Australian publicans to the Blue Moon craft beer range
|
Molson Coors and Coca-Cola Amatil executives introduced Australian publicans to the Blue Moon craft beer range this week, as CCA reaffirmed its ambitions for its December 17 re-entry into beer and cider, The Shout reported on November 22.
At the Sydney launch function at Black By Ezard restaurant, CCA managing director of Australian Beverages, John Murphy told customers the company has retained valuable intellectual property from its previous beer venture, enabling it to hit the ground running in a few weeks’ time.
He was referring to capabilities such as draught beer services, CCA’s FORMULA app and on-line beverage training technology, its in-house point of sale and promotions agency and existing beer and cider sales force.
“We’ve spent the last two years getting ready,” he said.
“A lot of it’s been with your help as well and a lot of other customers in Australia as to how we would do that.”
“Tonight, we won’t be able to take any orders, but we can take IOUs,” Murphy joked.
The dinner was hosted by Blue Moon founder and brewmaster Keith Villa, who introduced the brand’s flagship Belgian White Ale, which is served with an orange garnish.
Guests also experienced several other beers from Blue Moon’s total portfolio of 28 different

China: Craft beer pubs proving to be hugely popular in Beijing
|
Brew pubs offering hearty English-style real ales and beers with unusual ingredients such as watermelon, Sichuan peppers and tea are proving to be hugely popular in Beijing, packed with drinkers who, at last, have an alternative to bland local offerings, South China Morning Post reported on November 22.
The main three newcomers, Great Leap Brewing, Slow Boat Brewery and Jing-A Brewing Company, initially targeted their craft beers at expatriates. They knew they would have a ready-made clientele of British, Americans and Germans pining for the high alcohol-content beer and pub atmosphere of their homelands.
But the alehouses have quickly developed a strong following of mainlanders, who have acquired a taste for more complex beers. All nationalities appreciate that the craft ales are brewed with real expertise - and sold at prices that undercut already-established outlets serving imported keg beers.
Serious drinkers, especially those who endured the wasteland years of having a choice of only bland lager, or paying a hefty price for a properly brewed pint at the German-style brauhaus operations, still can't quite believe places such as Great Leap Brewing offer up to 16 beers at any one time, all brewed on the premises by owner Carl Setzer.

Australia: Australia’s most expensive beer hits shelves
|
With a recommended retail price of A$99 for 750ml, Crown Ambassador Reserve Lager 2013, Australia's most expensive beer, has hit retailers' shelves, Food Magazine reported on November 22.
Ten thousand individually boxed bottles of the beer, Carlton and United Breweries' (CUB) sixth vintage, are now available, and were brewed from 100 percent Australian malt and hops, it is reported.
CUB produces the beer once a year to coincide with the Myrtleford, Victoria hop harvest, using Galaxy hops which are hand harvested and added to the kettle within 24 hours.
A portion of the beer is matured in French oak barrels, and the product boasts a 9.6 percent alcohol content. This, combined with its level of hops, means the beer can be cellared.
