Scientific Digest
Next generation sequencing for next generation hops?
ABSTRACT
Hops have a relatively large and complex genome, which
combined with the fact that hops are dioecious (with male
and female plants), makes the genetics of hops somewhat
difficult to research and understand. Large numbers of
high quality molecular markers are required in order
execute genetic studies with enough finesse to generate
reliable outcomes. These US researchers report the
application of next generation sequencing technology to
the development of high quality molecular makers in hops. The steady improvement in the number and quality of
molecular markers available for hops will provide for more
target cultivar development (for disease resistance or
aroma for example), and may be applied to “true to type”
testing (either in field or of processed product). It might
possibly also contribute fundamentally to our
understanding of the biology of hop and its valuable
metabolites. Where will it get us? Time will tell!

Australia: Carlton & United Breweries say Cascade Bright Ale is its most successful draught craft release in years
|
Australia’s Carlton & United Breweries has revealed that Cascade Bright Ale is its most successful draught craft beer release in years, The Shout reported on March 17.
Speaking at the Cascade First Harvest Ale festivities in Tasmania, head brewer Mike Unsworth said the subdued bitterness of Bright Ale - launched six months ago - had won excellent feedback from consumers – particularly women.
“We’ve got three different types of hops in the Bright Ale, but it’s not overly bitter. What you are actually getting is some really good aromas and flavours,” he said.
Craig Maclean, CUB’s general manager of craft beer and cider, added: “Just to let everybody know just how well it’s going sales-wise, six months from launch, Bright Ale’s actually our most successful craft draught launch since Fat Yak.”

USA: Heineken’s lager margaritas will be launched in April to replicate the success of AB InBev’s Bud Light Ritas
|
Heineken will launch lager margaritas in the US from April as it bids to replicate the success of Anheuser Busch InBev’s Bud Light Ritas line, BeverageDaily.com reported on March 14.
Heineken’s Dos-A-Rita launch differs from AB InBev’s in that it uses a splash of Dos Equis lager, where use of the brew from its Mexican import portfolio is perhaps the key point of difference from mainstream premium light Bud Light.
Another difference is the fact that the 7.2% ABV drink ‘with natural flavors and caramel color’ is sweetened with agave nectar, a ‘natural’ sweetener that is principally fructose.
Surprisingly large 24oz (680ml) single-serve cans and 8oz (227ml) cans in 12 packs will be trialled across southern and mid-western states.
Namely, Texas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, New Mexico North Carolina, South Carolina and Alabama.
Predictably, and perhaps with Bud Light Lime Ritas in its sights, Monique Acevedo, VP of innovation at Heineken USA, is talking up the drink’s status “as a more premium and authentic lager margarita that leverages the strength and momentum of the Dos Equis brand”.
“Independent research confirms that Dos-A-Rita generates strong interest among 22-34 year-old consumers and is viewed as an exciting product,” she added, noting double-digit growth for

Hong Kong: Hong Kong Beer Company relaunched by new owners
|
Hong Kong Beer Company Limited, established in 1995, was acquired in August 2013 by Devin Otto Kimble and Daniel Flores, the founders of Singapore's multiple award-winning Brewerkz Restaurants & Microbreweries. Brewerkz was a pioneer of the local craft beer movement when it opened in 1997 and since that time the Singapore beer industry has grown to nearly a dozen breweries and all but one of them specializes in making craft beer. Looking to be part of the same kind of vibrancy in the local Hong Kong scene, the new owners have re-launched HKBC and put in place a team with over 100 years of craft beer industry experience in Asia and the United States, Menafn reported on March 13.
"For over a decade, Daniel and I have been looking for the right opportunity to enter the Hong Kong market and are thrilled to be part of the great group of craft beer people now involved with this historically significant company," says HKBC co-owner and director Devin Otto Kimble. "We believe Hong Kong's craft beer scene is becoming the most exciting in Asia. A wave of imported craft beers is now washing over the market and a couple of new local
