Scientific Digest


Screening of Geraniol-rich Flavor Hop and Interesting Behavior of Beta-Citronellol During Fermentation under Various Hop-Addition Timings


ABSTRACT
Japanese researchers already reported a couple of times about the flavour interaction between linalool, geraniol and Beta-citronellol. Here they publish some new data investigating the influence of the timing of hop addition. They brewed beers with the geraniol enriched hop varieties Cascade, Bravo, and Mosaic. The content of geraniol in finished beer was increase by delaying the timing of hop addition, while the yeast growth phase was avoided. However the Beta-citronellol content in the finished beers made with the same hop variety was not dependent on the timing of hop addition, but was constant. This article provides a good insight into concentrations of monoterpenes during the course of brewing including dry hopping.

Brewery news Belgium: UNESCO considering a petition to include Belgian beer culture on its list of immaterial cultural heritage
Belgium has petitioned the United Nations' education and cultural agency UNESCO to include Belgian beer culture on its list of immaterial cultural heritage, Expatica.com reported on April 2.

UNESCO officials in Paris will have the final say, but the first signs are very positive.

It was Belgium's Germanophone community that handed in the dossier with support of its Flemish and Francophone counterparts.

The recognition procedure has been underway for many years.

Belgium's Flemish Community made a start in 2011.

It was followed by the Francophone Community the following year. All three of Belgium's language-based communities needed to back the initiative if it was to stand any chance of succeeding.

Belgium's dossier will now be scrutinised by the Secretariat of the Convention for the Protection of Immaterial Cultural Heritage.

If accepted Belgian beer culture will join the following Belgian events or activities on the UNESCO list: the Ros Beiaard Procession in Dendermonde, the Holy Blood Procession in Bruges, Carnival in Aalst, falconry and shrimp fishing at Oostduinkerke.

Brewery news South Korea: Lotte Liquor’s first Kloud beer to take on current market leaders
Lotte Liquor is throwing down the gauntlet in the domestic beer market by launching its first beer, Kloud, Korea JoongAng Daily reported on April 7.

Lotte Liquor said last week that it is launching the new Kloud - which refers to Korea and a rich, cloud-like foam - to take on market leaders Oriental Brewery, which has 60 percent of the market with Cass and OB brands, and Hite Jinro, which has 40 percent.

The company said it would be the first beer made in Korea to use the original gravity method of production, which is used in Germany.

The gravity method does not add water to the fermented solution of raw materials, and beers manufactured that way have rich foam and taste.

Kloud is a premium beer that uses European hops and yeast from Germany, the company explained.

“We chose the original gravity method to reflect the consumers’ dissatisfaction over the taste of beer currently available,” said a spokesman for Lotte Liquor.

“In order to emphasize that it is Korean beer, we used the letter K for Kloud,” said Woo Chang-kyun, marketing director of Lotte Liquor.

It also reflects its ambitions to seize the Korean beer market with richer foam, which rises like ...More info on site


Brewery news Brazil: Ambev to freeze beer prices till the end of FIFA World Cup
Brazil’s beer industry giant Ambev announced on April 4 it would not be increasing the prices of its products until the FIFA World Cup ends (in mid-July).

The company’s portfolio includes such popular brands as Skol, Antarctica, Brahma, Bohemia, and Original.

The announcement came after the government raised the tax on beer and some other drinks, betting that consumption during the soccer World Cup in June and July would help shore up its finances. The tax is equal to around 1 cent an item, the government said.


Brewery news Singapore: Carlsberg Singapore adds Japan’s Asahi beer to its portfolio
Carlsberg Singapore said on April 7 that it was adding Japan's number-one beer brand, Asahi, to its portfolio.

The company acquired a 51 per cent stake in MayBev Pte Ltd, the sole distributor of Asahi in Singapore.

MayBev's core business comprises the sales, marketing and distribution of a wide portfolio of international beverages, including Pravda and Heavy Water vodkas, Zonin wines and various specialty Japanese soft drinks.


Brewery news Sierra Leone: Sierra Leone president sees Heineken as a friend of the nation
Sierra Leone president Ernest Bai Koroma on April 4 described Heineken as a friend of Sierra Leone; a friendship that is borne out of the fact that Heineken has been with Sierra Leone through thick and thin, AllAfrica reports.

"The war hit Heineken badly, but its loyalty to our country has been unshakable. Heineken is very much part of the historical narrative of Sierra Leone; and we believe it will continue to be part of the narrative of the rise of Sierra Leone," he said.

President Koroma made this statement during his visit to the headquarters of the company in Amsterdam, Holland. He also noted that a friend of a country acts in concert with a country's aspirations. "Our aspirations for foreign direct investment saw Heineken investing over EUR10 mln in the last four years."

He further disclosed that Sierra Leone's aspirations for increased local content in production activities saw Heineken sourcing 40% of its raw materials locally, and added: "We applaud your ambition to increase it to 60% by 2020."

Siep Hiemstra, Regional President Africa and Middle-East in his welcome statement said Heineken is one of the major international brewers and its Heineken beer is the only beer brand sold in almost all ...More info on site

Barley news USA: Idaho barley growers to increase barley acreage going against trend
Idaho growers anticipate increasing their barley acres, while the other major barley states plan to plant less, Capital Press reported on April 7.

Idaho is poised to further distance itself from North Dakota, Montana and Washington this season as the nation’s top barley production state, a March 31 USDA planting intentions report suggests.

Though Montana growers will plant far more acres, and North Dakota will plant a comparable barley crop, industry leaders say it’s a safe bet Idaho will again emerge as the barley production leader thanks to its strong yields under irrigation. Gem State growers told USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service they intend to plant 660,000 acres of barley this spring, up by 30,000 acres from last season.

Idaho became No. 1 in barley production in 2011, before being supplanted by North Dakota the following year. Idaho reclaimed its top position last season with a crop USDA estimated at 55.8 million bushels.

According to the recent USDA report, growers nationwide intend to plant 3.165 million barley acres, down from 3.48 million acres. North Dakota growers are expected to plant 650,000 barley acres, down by 110,000 acres. Montana growers intend to plant 900,000 barley acres, down 90,000 acres. Growers in Washington, the No. 3 ...More info on site
