125th Anniversary Review: Developments in brewing and distilling yeast strains
ABSTRACT
Progress during the past 25 years regarding our knowledge of brewer's yeast strains is considered. This is not a comprehensive review but rather focuses on some specific areas. These areas include a brief description of genomics, proteomics and metabolomics as applied to brewer's yeast strains. This review subsequently considers differences between ale and lager yeast strains, the uptake and metabolism of wort sugars and amino acids, yeast flocculation, yeast management between fermentations and yeast strain genetic stability. The question of process intensification, with particular attention to high-gravity brewing, is also addressed. Fermentation systems and processes are considered with an emphasis on novel procedures for stirred fermentations.

UK: Great British Beer Festival expected to pour almost 1,000 different craft beers and ciders to more than 55,000 visitors
|
This month, the Kensington Olympia Exhibition Centre is hosting the Great British Beer Festival.
Some 55,000 people will attend the event and sample almost 1,000 different real ales, craft beers and ciders, International Business Times reported on August 8.
Scattered among the exhibitors will be up to 70 London craft breweries, demonstrating the enormous growth the sector has enjoyed in recent years.
"Six years ago when I got here it was still a lot of mainstream lagers, ales and cask which I didn't find very interesting. Now it's grown... there were only five or 10 breweries in London. Now you're up to 60ish roughly and within the next couple of years you'll be hitting the three figures, 100, which is fantastic," Durham Atkinson, the managing director of the Hops & Glory craft beer pub on the Essex Road said.
The pub brews a couple of its own beers to go along with the dozens of external beers it sells on premises. Atkinson is about to install a one barrel kit in the basement which will allow them to increase the amount they make and, all being well, sell their product elsewhere.
And it doesn't seem like there will be any issue with demand.

India: SABMiller revamps Foster’s beer to claw back ground lost to competitors
|
SABMiller, the world's second largest beer manufacturer by volume, has revamped its flagship international brand Foster's in India in a bid to claw back ground lost to European rivals Carlsberg Group and Anheuser-Busch InBev, The Times of India reported on August 13.
Post a massive, six-month long consumer research, the biggest of its kind done in India by SABMiller, the company re-launched Foster's recently, with the aim of putting its third biggest beer brand by revenue in India back on a high-growth trajectory. The two regional brands it acquired, Haywards and Knock Out, are its top two performers by revenue and volume, respectively.
"India is one of the most important markets for Foster's in terms of case volume after the US and UK. We relooked at literally everything in the brand. The taste of the brew has now been designed to be more refreshing and suited for the Indian palate," said Darioush Afzali, director, marketing, SABMiller India.
The company also rebranded the two-year-old Strong variant to Foster's Gold, in a bid to appeal to a larger consumer base. Nearly 80% of the beer market comprises of strong brew which has an alcohol content between 5% and 8%.

Malaysia: IS extremists planned to attack Carlsberg’s brewery in Malaysia
|
With more and more Malaysians and Indonesians becoming involved in the Syrian and Iraqi conflicts, western companies operating in the region, Carlsberg included, have suddenly found themselves in the crosshairs, The Copenhagen Post reported on August 11.
Over the past seven months, Malaysian security forces have arrested 19 Islamic extremists looking to launch terror attacks on a number of targets in Malaysia and Indonesia, including a Carlsberg factory near Kuala Lumpur.
“During questioning, they [the suspects] admitted one of their main objectives was to attack the government,” Ayub Khan, a senior official at Malaysia’s Special Branch Counter-Terrorism Division, told South China Morning Post.
“They also discussed planning attacks against a disco, pubs in Kuala Lumpur and a Carlsberg factory in Petaling Jaya.”
The Malaysian government revealed that 20 of its citizens had left for Syria to fight alongside the brutal militants of the Islamic State (IS), formerly known as ISIS. At least 56 Indonesians have also joined the IS ranks.
Some have been killed, but anti-terror experts fear that many will return home with plans to attack targets in the region.
“This is just like veterans from the wars in Afghanistan. Apart from Malaysia and Indonesia, there are also recruits from the Philippines going to Syria,”

China: Tsingtao Beer launches fruit-flavoured beer to win over female consumers
|
Tsingtao Beer, one of China's biggest beer brands, launched a fruit-flavored beer on Chinese Valentine's Day, on August 2, in an effort to win over female followers with its cute design and sweet flavor, womenofchina.cn reported.
The new product, which is called "Peach Beer" or "Xuanqi" in Chinese, is the brewery's latest endeavour to attract certain targeted groups and create new products that fit special occasions, following its launch of tailored drinking packages during the Chinese New Year and the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The pink-canned drink won instant success as soon as it hit the market.
"I used to enjoy this kind of beer in Taiwan while it was not available in China's Mainland," said a female consumer. "I'm excited that this sweet flavored beer can now be bought here so that I can share this nice experience with my girlfriends."
The new product is now on sale in Tsingtao Beer's flagship store on Tmall.com with surprise discounts, gifts and cash rewards.

Kenya: East Africa Breweries could stop bottling low priced Senator Keg beer because of higher taxes
|
East Africa Breweries could stop bottling low priced Senator Keg beer following a 75 per cent drop in sales after the government slapped tax on keg beer, AllAfrica reported on August 9.
Managing director Charles Ireland said the company "could take a hard decision on Senator" if the government does not revise its decision on the excise tax adding that already several jobs have been lost as a result.
"Senator consumers are extremely price sensitive consumers... the current position for Senator Keg is not a sustainable one," he said.
Speaking during the release of the company's financial results for the full year period ended June 2014, Ireland said sales growth grew by a modest four per cent, weighed down by Senator Keg performance.
Net sales stood at Sh61.29 billion with profit after tax hitting Sh6.86 billion, a five per cent rise from the previous year. Kenya accounted for 64 per cent of the company's sales, Tanzania 11 per cent, Uganda 18 per cent while South Sudan and Rwanda jointly contributed seven per cent.
In Uganda, profits were up by 50 per cent boosted by high sales of Waragi gin. Its flagship brand Tusker beer retained market leadership, with sales growing by 17 per cent, Guinness

South Korea: The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety investigating complaints about Oriental Brewery’s Cass beer
|
The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety of South Korea launched an investigation after it received consumers’ complaints that they noticed a strong smell of disinfectant when they opened a Cass can, Oriental Brewery’s flagship product. As it fuels fears among consumers, the rumor seems to have a bad effect on its sales, The Korea Bizwire reported on August 9.
On August 7, the beer brewer said consumers have complained that they felt or smelled disinfectant when they had Cass. Moreover, the news went viral on social media tools such as Facebook, Twitter or KakaoTalk.
As the problem persists, the ministry is carrying on scrutiny with experts to identify any problem on the 5th. In last June, the ministry already had conducted an investigation only to conclude that there was no problem in it. As complaints are continuously being brought up, however, the food safety agency resumed its investigation. As of late August 5, more than 10 complaints have been received.
Oriental Brewery sees the problem occurred during distribution, not during the production process. “Beers tend to go bad on scorching hot days while they are distributed,” it explained.
Despite its explanation, the rumors don’t seem to be silenced. On the 5th, a rumor

USA: Barley prices continue to fall
|
Following the lead of corn, feed barley prices continued to fall during the past two weeks, and feed barley’s current price puts the crop in a unique situation, according to Valley Grain Milling’s Randy Brag quoted on August 9 by Farm & Ranch Guide.
“When you look at barley prices right now, there is actually a premium for feed barley over corn,” Brag said. “Feed barley has 90 percent the feed value of corn and in some parts of the country we are seeing $2.50 to $2.30 corn and feed barley at some elevators is at a $2.50 level.”
Brag feels producers are finally starting to see a true market price for the various commodities, including barley, that were impacted earlier in the year by lack of grain movement.
“We had a market held up by freight,” Brag said. “If we would have had rail cars moving on an orderly fashion all winter long and if we would have had enough truck drivers to move this crop, this market would have been in the tank in March.”
Brag wouldn’t be surprised to see the feed market dip even lower now that we are moving into harvest and everybody is full of grain.

Australia: New Charger barley variety expected to make it possible for beer to retain flavour for up to a year
|
Beer that retains its flavour for up to a year is expected to hit the shelves by the end of next month, after Australian scientists spent a decade developing a new type of malting barley, The Australian Reported on August 13.
Coopers Brewery estimates its first batch of Carlsberg lager featuring the new Charger malt barley variety developed by University of Adelaide scientists and the European brewing giant will be brewed this month.
Coopers managing director Tim Cooper said that using the new barley variety would not change the flavour of its product but it would slow down the deterioration of flavours into a “papery characteristic”.
“It’s just going to give the flavour more longevity, possibly postponing it by 50 per cent longer,’’ Mr Cooper said.
Adelaide University’s Plant and Food Science barley program leader Jason Eglinton said the new barley varieties were particularly important for delicate beer styles, where a slight off flavour is easily detected as a cardboard-type taste.
A typical light beer style stored in warm climates can go stale within four months but the new variety could extend a beer’s life for as long as 12 months, Professor Eglinton said.
Carlsberg and Japan’s third largest brewer Sapporo have separately worked with the
