Scientific Digest
How alcohol boosts aroma perception
ABSTRACT
While the influence on alcohol content on bitterness
perception has been studied, it has remained unclear what
increasing levels of ethanol do to hop aroma perception.
Researchers studied the effect with the compounds betadamascenone,
carophyllene, citronellol, geraniol, geranyl
acetate, humulene, linalool, myrcene, and nerol in alcoholic
solutions of 5, 10, and 15 percent. Results indicate that
Beta-damascenone, carophyllene, and humulene aroma
thresholds are significantly affected by ethanol content,
while other compounds are not! Just like with anything else
in hop research, results show that contexts are never
simple! Read more

Ireland: Craft beer industry on course for sales of more than €15 million this year
|
The Irish craft beer industry is on course for sales of more than €15 million in 2014 with sales increasing by 50 per cent this year alone, The Irish Times reported on September 5.
A report, scheduled to be published later this week, will reveal that sales have increased by 180 per cent since 2011, albeit from a low base.
The craft beer industry now constitutes approximately 1.5 per cent of the entire beer market, still way behind countries such as the US or the UK. By the end of the year there will be more than 50 craft beer brewers in the whole of Ireland.
In the US, craft beer sales now account for 7.8 per cent volume of the total market last year and 14.3 per cent by dollar sales.
The Irish craft beer industry believes it can reach a similar level of market share in Ireland which would see a five-fold increase in sales.
Speaking at the launch of the Irish Craft Beer Festival in the RDS on September 4, festival organiser Seamus O’Hara of the Carlow Brewing Company said the recession had actually helped sales of craft beers.
“The recession helped us because it disrupted the beer business and the bar business.

France: Craft beer really taking off in France
|
Three decades after microbreweries faced near extinction in wine-dominated France, craft beer is finally taking off, The China Post reported on September 6.
With the number of small breweries nearly doubling since 2010, some craft beers are even making it onto the menus of some of Paris's best restaurants.
Former photographer and beer enthusiast Bruno Torres didn't hesitate to try his hand at brewing when he found himself looking for a new career in 2012.
The 42-year-old, whose La Baleine microbrewery opened last year in Paris, admits it might have seemed like a “mad” idea to some.
Two years on, however, he has his own range of beers and finds himself part of a small but rapidly expanding industry.
“I love the creativity, the freedom which exists with beer,” Torres said, explaining that he deliberately set out to make beer that could accompany food.
In addition to his peat-smoked and citrus-flavored beers, he also produces two others — a dessert beer and a fruity one that goes well with meat or seafood.
“When we do tastings people are always drawing parallels with different foods, especially women who are really keen on these beers,” he said.
“They suggest what would go well with the different beers. They do it

Ireland: Diageo to open its new €168 million brewery in Dublin soon
|
Guinness producer Diageo is to open a new €168 million brewery St James’s Gate in Dublin, The Irish Times reported on September 10.
The new brewery, which was one of the largest construction projects to take place in Dublin in recent years, will consolidate all brewing by Diageo in Ireland at Victoria Quay, St James’s Gate.
The creation of the technologically advanced brewery was first announced in 2012 when Diageo said it would close its breweries in Kilkenny and Dundalk, with the loss of 100 jobs. The two plants manufactured Smithwick’s, Kilkenny ale, Budweiser and Harp Lager.
Diageo had originally planned a €650 million investment to overhaul its brewing activities in Ireland, but this was shelved as a result of the global financial crisis.

Vietnam: Ministry of Industry and Trade tries to control beer production and consumption but province authorities encourage people to drink local beer
|
While Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) attempts to control beer production and consumption, the leaders of many provinces and cities are encouraging people to drink beer, VietnamNet Bridge reported on September 8.
In a draft decree on beer production and consumption, MOIT stipulates that the activities of selling beer at schools, hospitals, offices, on the pavement, or to those who show “signs of getting drunk”, pregnant women, breast-feeding women, or to those who have abuse alcohol, will be considered illegal.
The ministry believes that if the beer production and market can be controlled with measures suggested in the draft decree, the brewery industry will develop well and increase revenue from beer for the state budget.
It estimates that once the decree takes effect, taxes will increase by VND3.1 trillion a year. The fee expected to be collected from beer production licensing would be about VND3.5 billion.
The draft decree which has been opened for public opinion has been described as “impractical” and “unfeasible”.
Phan Chi Dung, director of the MOIT’s Light Industry Department, admitted that it is difficult to clarify “the people with signs of getting drunk”, “pregnant women” and “breastfeeding women”.
He said that the enforcement of the decree, if it
