Scientific Digest
Volatile vs non-volatile
ABSTRACT
The volatile world of beer is complex, we know. Together
with the non-volatile even more! These US researchers
looked into the interaction of volatile aroma compounds in
beer and non-volatile fractions as proteins and
carbohydrates. They found an increase in aroma intensity
(apple and banana) with increasing protein levels (perhaps
due to the binding of aroma components), and a decrease
of dry hop aroma intensity with increasing carbohydrate
levels (due to changed viscosity). Read more

South Korea: Oriental Brewery to invest $117 mln in improving quality of its products
|
Oriental Brewery (OB) CEO Chang In-soo apologized on September 16 for a recent dispute over the alleged odour of disinfectant in its Cass beer and pledged to invest 120 billion won ($117 million) to improve the quality of the company's products, The Korea Times reported.
In a press conference, Chang said the brewer has been making all-out efforts to upgrade its quality-control system to be on a par with those of Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) and other global brewers.
''OB is overhauling its entire business process, spanning from production to sourcing and distribution, to introduce world-class product quality management systems at our three plants,'' Jang said. "I apologize for causing concerns for the dispute (over the smell)."
OB operates three plants in Gwangju and Icheon, Gyeonggi Province; and Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province.
"In 2006, AB InBev introduced a stringent quality management program called Voyager Plant Optimization (VPO). In cooperation with our parent firm, we will produce Cass and other beer brands in accordance with the VPO standard. We will place top priority on our quality control procedures and meeting customer needs,'' the CEO said.
In April, AB InBev acquired OB, which accounts for about 60 percent of Korea's beer market, for $5.8 billion.

India: SABMiller India Ltd launches new strong beer to compete with Carlsberg and AB InBev
|
SABMiller India Ltd, the country’s second-largest brewer, has launched a new brand called Miller Ace, as the company looks to tap Indian consumers’ preference for strong brews with a pricey strong beer that will compete with brands sold by Carlsberg Group and Anheuser-Busch InBev, Livemint reported on September 16.
Strong beer, which refers to brews with alcohol content of 5-8%, accounts for 85% of all beer sales in India. Kingfisher Strong, made by United Breweries Ltd, is the best-selling brand in the country but recently people have also shown willingness to shell out cash for far more expensive strong beer labels such as Carlsberg Elephant and Budweiser Magnum.
SABMiller, which owns brands such as Miller High Life, Foster’s and Haywards, will distribute Miller Ace in retail outlets across India over the next six months. A 650 ml bottle of Miller Ace will cost Rs.140 in Delhi. Budweiser Magnum sells for Rs.175 while Kingfisher Strong costs Rs.85 in Delhi. Beer prices vary across states.
SABMiller was planning to launch Miller Ace this financial year to compete with Budweiser Magnum and Carlsberg Elephant, Mint first reported in June.
“Many consumers were expressing the need to trade up to a world-class strong beer

Malaysia: Craft beer’s advent restrained by local beer giants so far
|
Faced with increasing gains across Asia-Pacific, not least in Australia where traditional brewers are fast losing market share, craft beer importers are now eyeing Southeast Asia as a new growth market, Food Navigator-Asia.com reported on September 16.
We often hear how Asia’s developing economies are bringing Western tastes to areas where there was previously little appetite for products like breakfast cereals, dairy products and tinned soups.
Beer, a category which is already well established with most countries having their own brewery majors, is of course not a new product but tastes are changing on a similar path to what we are seeing in developed markets, in that the mass-produced segment is making way for increasingly popular ciders and craft beers.
In Australia, this is happening to the point where consumption of mainstream beers is at its lowest level in over 70 years, whereas craft brewers are cashing in on the rise of the Aussie hipster. Ciders too are becoming a big hit with the young market.
But residents of Kuala Lumpur with a constant thirst for anything containing hops and alcohol may feel like they’ve been left out of this charge.
It is rare to be surprised by a KL pub’s beer selection: more

Iraq: Beer and spirits prices increase as Islamic State militants demand money for each truck passing through their territories
|
Baghdad’s beer-drinkers have it tough. Already shot at and persecuted, they have found prices soaring since Islamic State militants seized large swaths of northern Iraq in June and barred alcohol, Bloomberg reported on September 16.
Liquor shipments heading to the Iraqi capital must bypass Islamic State territory and instead run the gauntlet of Shiite militia check-points, where gunmen demand money for each truck, according to traders. The price of a can of Heineken has surged from $1 to $5, and a bottle of the popular moonshine whiskey Black Jack has jumped from $15 to $50.
“Drinking is our only way to forget about the mayhem, but it’s become very expensive,” said businessman Laith Nadhum, 42, by phone from Baghdad.
Islamic State, an al-Qaeda breakaway group, has declared a caliphate in areas under its control that include parts of northern Iraq, enacting brutal measures against the country’s Christian community that has traditionally sold liquor. While Islam prohibits alcohol, Baghdad has had a flourishing drinking scene in the past. Drinkers of all faiths once congregated on Abu Nuwas street, along the east bank of the Tigris.
“We are increasingly losing our customers because of the security situation, a lot of them fled the country,” said
