Tsingtao Brewery the leading Chinese brewery based in the eastern port city of Qingdao, has
recently integrated its 9 production facilities in north and northwest China to become the largest
brewer in northwest China Tsingtao Brewery Xian Hans Group, Asia Pulse announced on September 9.
The new group makes the Hans brand beer, with an annual output of 1.1
million kiloliters. The Hans is a beer brand born in Xian in 1988 and

from 24,500 kiloliters in 1996 to 600,000 kiloliters in 2004.
Its gross profit hit 431
million yuan (US$53 million) in 2004, a turnaround from a loss of 24.32 million yuan

USA & China: Anheuser-Busch wants more acquisitions in China
America’s Anheuser-Busch could make more acquisitions in China to tap a market that's growing as
much as seven times faster than the US, according to the head of the company's
international operations, China Daily reported on September 7.
Anheuser-Busch, the world's biggest brewer, in April
tripled its stake in Tsingtao Brewery Co Ltd, China's biggest beer maker, to 27 %.
China's beer market will expand by as much as 5 % a year until
2008, compared with growth of 0.7 % for the US and 2.5 % for Europe
through 2005, beverage research firm Canadian estimates.
Each of China's 1.3 billion people drinks an
average of 18 litres of beer a year, compared with as much as 80 litres
each in Europe. "Obviously we'd like them to drink as much per capita as they
do in Germany," Burrows said. Beer consumption in South Korea and Japan stands at about
35 litres per person, according to Burrows. "If it reached that, the market would double
in size."
In 2004 Anheuser-Busch beat back London-based SAB Miller to acquire Harbin Brewery Group
Ltd, China's oldest and fourth-largest brewer, in a transaction valued at HK$3.5 billion (US$444 million).
The American brewer first entered

EU: Analysts’ overview on the crops of EU main barley producers
Barley harvests are over except for the very North, Scotland, Central Sweden and Finland, where
at least 50 % have been combined in good condition.
The U.K., Denmark and South Sweden
harvested very good crops of malting barley, early poor results in England proved to be
exceptions. Colour, grain size, protein and moisture are optimal.
On the other hand, latest evaluations
of the French crop show excessive proteins all over the East/Northeast. In the whole country
only 1.2- 1.3 Mill. tonnes of spring barley have protein contents below 11.5 % and
a few hundred thousand tonnes between 11.5 and 12 %.
South Germany, the Czech Republic
and Slovakia have had rainstorms during the last part of their harvests, which led to
downgrading of sizeable quantities of malting to feed barley. The German Malting Barley Assn. estimates
a selection of 1,523 Million tonnes of malting barley, trade estimates in Bavaria are even
lower.
A private Czech estimate puts the sound barley at 60 % of the total
spring crop, which would still be 1 Million tonnes. Slovakia had losses in the east
of the country.

World: Alpha acid content in hops crop 2004
With the 2004 hop harvest, the percentage shares of the world market, which had been
disrupted by the unusually dry weather conditions in Europe in 2003, returned to normal, according
to this summer Barth report.
Germany and the USA between them accounted for 70.9% of
total world alpha production in crop year 2004 (2003: 63.5%). With a share of world
alpha production totalling 37.7% (2003: 24.4%), Germany overtook the USA, whose share fell to 33.2%
(2003: 39.1%), as the world’s biggest alpha producer. China remained in third place, although its
share of 15.8% in 2003 dropped to 8.0% in 2004 as a result of the
reduction in acreage and the lower average alpha content there.
In Alpha Group I – fine
aroma hops – Germany produced 40.7% (2003: 27.4%), beating the Czech Republic, with 35.6% (2003:
40.6%), into second place. In Alpha Group II – aroma hops – Germany,with 44.0%, also
regained the top position it had lost to the USA in 2003 with a share
of only 30.2%. The USA’s share in 2004 was only 22.3% (2003: 34.5%). The USA,
on the other hand, was able to maintain leadership in Alpha Group III – bitter
hops/high-alpha hops – with 38.8%,
