Brewery News

0 Japan: Kirin to release new 3rd-category quasi-beer to secure its position as the top player in the business segment

Kirin Brewery Co. announced on August 21st it will release a new third-category quasi-beer on Oct. 27 to secure its position as the top player in the business segment, Jiji Press communicated.

The new Sparkling Hop is mainly targeted at people in their 20s, among whom beer and beer-like beverages are losing their appeal.

The drink features a distinctive aroma created by blending Japanese and New Zealand hop varieties. Strong pressure gives the product a rich head and a refreshing finish, Kirin officials said.

Sparkling Hop is made by mixing a "happoshu" low-malt drink with spirits. Under Japan's liquor tax system, the new product is classified as a liqueur, whose tax rate is lower than those for beer and happoshu.

This is Kirin's third product in the third category, following "Ryoshitsu Sozai" and "Nodogoshi Nama." With the three products, Kirin hopes to beat out its rivals in the heavily crowded third-category market.

Sparkling Hop is expected to retail at around 135 yen for a 350-milliliter can. Sales are estimated to reach 1.6 million cases by the end of this year. Each case contains the equivalent of 20 633-milliliter bottles.

0 USA: Organic beer still represents less than 1 percent of U.S. beer sales, but those sales are booming

Domestic sales of organic food and drink grew from $1 billion in 1990 to $14 billion in 2006, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Organic beer still represents less than 1 percent of U.S. beer sales, but those sales doubled to $19 million between 2003 and 2005 (the last year with available figures), according to the Organic Trade Association, azcentral.com communicated on August 21st. In 2005, organic beer ranked with coffee as the fastest-growing organic beverage.

At Butte Creek Brewing Co. of Chico, Calif., whose product line is almost entirely organic, first quarter 2007 sales were up 60 percent over last year. And organic beer, brewing professionals say, has shed its associations with a hippie fringe.

"Originally people thought, Organic beer? What's that? Why would you want that?' but not anymore," says Scott Burchell, Butte Creek's director of sales. "The organic beer industry is booming."

Hops hunt

USDA standards for organic beer are the same as those for organic foods: ingredients must be grown without toxic pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, in soil free from chemicals for at least three years, and no genetically modified ingredients can be used in brewing.

Organic beer began appearing on store shelves in the late 1990s. Butte Creek ... More Info

0 Germany: Barley crop 2007 is estimated lower yoy due to the heat and drought in April and the rain during the harvest time

Germany's leading trading house Toepfer International forecasted on Monday, August 20th a barley harvest 2007 of 10.5 to 10.8Mt from 12Mt last year.

Wheat - 20Mt, down from the 22.4Mt harvested last year. This confirms previous trade and official estimates.
Rye - Greater planted area meant the rye crop was forecast to increase over 3Mt from 2.6Mt last year.
Maize - 3.4 to 3.5Mt from 3.2Mt last year.
Triticale - 2 to 2.1Mt against 2.2Mt last year.
Rapeseed - 5.2 to 5.3Mt against 5.3Mt last year.

This gave an overall cereal harvest of 40M to 41Mt from 43.3Mt last year. The trading house Toepfer International said that the main reasons for the decline in the forecasts is the heat and drought in April and the rain during the harvest time that interrupted the harvest repeatedly.
