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).

USA & RU: Pabst Brewing Company reportedly sold to Oasis Beverages and TSG Consumer Partners
|
America’s most hipster beer company is reportedly being sold to the Russians, brewbound.com reported on September, 18.
Both the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times are reporting that Pabst Brewing Company – the Los Angeles-based producer of heritage beer brands like Pabst Blue Ribbon, Lone Star and Olympia - will be sold for upwards of $750 mln.
Russian brewer Oasis Beverages and TSG Consumer Partners, a New York-based private equity firm that invests in middle-market consumer brand, are partnering to purchase the Pabst Brewing Co., according to multiple reports citing sources familiar with the transaction.
In March, it was rumored that Pabst, which was acquired by food industry investor C. Dean Metropoulos from the Kalmanovitz Charitable Foundation in 2010 for a reported $250 mln, was in the early stages of trying to sell the 170-year-old brewery. At the time, it was said that advisory firm Perella Weinberg Partners had been tapped to shop the brand.
Pabst’s estimated EBITDA is $80 mln, sources familiar with the company's financials told Brewbound in March.
Oasis, which was founded by a group of beverage industry entrepreneurs in 2008, is the leading independent brewer in Russia and is also the exclusive importer for Heineken in Ukraine and Kazakhstan.

Canada: Alberta Barley, Saskatchewan Barley Development Commission (SBDC) pleased with government's move to ensure accountability on the railways
|
Alberta Barley and the Saskatchewan Barley Development Commission (SBDC) are pleased with the federal government's move to ensure accountability on the railways, Ein News reported on September 18.
On September 17 it was reported that the government is fining Canadian National Railway Co. (CN) as a result of their failure to meet minimum grain shipping requirements.
"This fine is the type of accountability we've been looking for," said Alberta Barley Chairman Matt Sawyer. "Without these enforceable regulations, we run the risk of another grain transportation crisis like we had last winter."
As evidenced by CN's failure to adhere to the federal government's requirements under Bill C-30, Alberta and Saskatchewan's barley farmers will continue to advocate for the increased rail capacity needed to effectively move Canadian grain. Both groups also look forward to participating in the ongoing Canada Transportation Act review.
"Farmers need a transportation system that can deliver their production to customers in a timely and reliable manner," said SBDC chair Cam Goff. "The railways are a critical player in this, and the fines are a signal to them that they will be held responsible now and into the future."
Approximately nine out of every 10 farms in the country are dependent on exports, making

USA, CO & NC: Oskar Blues named one of the fastest growing companies in America
|
Oskar Blues Brewery, the first craft brewery in the country to brew and hand-can its own beer, continued explosive growth in 2014 and earned a position in the top half of the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in America, brewbound.com reported on September, 16.
The average company on the list grew a mind-boggling 516 percent. Nine plus years of consecutive double digit growth (triple digit growth before that) catapulted Oskar Blues onto the list.
Oskar Blues Brewery has more than doubled production since 2011, packaging more than 119,000 barrels in 2013, and increasing distribution to 35 U.S. states and four countries overall. Growth was fuelled by the addition of a second brewery and Tasty Weasel Taproom, both in Brevard, North Carolina, in late 2012. Both East and West Oskar Blues breweries are continuing to expand in 2014, including adding 60,000 square feet of production space in Colorado. That space will include a six-lane bowling alley that will be open to Tasty Weasel customers.
Oskar Blues has grown to become the largest American craft brewery to package beer exclusively in cans, and currently is ranked 24th on the Brewers Association Top 50 Breweries list. Oskar Blues was named “Craft Brewer of

USA, TX: Real Ale Brewing Co. to expand its operations
|
Real Ale Brewing Co. in Blanco, just north of San Antonio, is planning to expand its operations with a new bottling line in an effort to meet rising demand, bizjournals.com reported on September, 17.
The company said statistics look good for continued growth for regional craft brewers across the country. According to the Brewers Association, despite the 2013 1.9 percent decrease in overall beer sales in the U.S., craft beer sales grew 17.2 percent. The niche market is now worth $14.3 bln.
The new bottling line is expected to quadruple Real Ale Brewing’s bottling speed from 100 bottles per minute to 400 bottles per minute.
San Antonio-based Alamo Beer contracts with Real Ale Brewing to produce its line of Alamo Golden Ale.

USA, CO: Great Divide Brewing Company expands distribution to Iowa
|
Great Divide Brewing Company expanded into Iowa, increasing their scope in the Midwest, brewbound.com reported on September, 16.
Partnering with Johnson Brothers of Iowa for their distribution, Great Divide’s full portfolio of year-round and seasonal beers will be available throughout the state beginning mid September.
“We are thrilled to be adding Great Divide Brewery to our Craft Beer portfolio. Named one of the 12th Best Brewers in the world and one of Beer Advocate’s ‘All Time Best Brewers,’ their accolades speak volumes for the quality of beer they produce,” said Lyle Stutzman, President, Johnson Brothers of Iowa.
Great Divide has been making big strides to increase efficiency and maximize production out of their original downtown Denver location, adding another 10,000 to annual barrelage over the last two years. At maximum capacity, they still have to be strategic in where they send their beer.
“Getting Great Divide to Iowa is no accident. We regularly get requests from all over the country to distribute in one state or another. Our decision to enter Iowa was just as much influenced by the rapidly increasing number of craft beer lovers in the state, hungry for new options, as it was by the passion and persistence of Stutzman

USA, AL: Cheaha Brewing Co. beers to be distributed by Supreme Beverage Co.

Anniston-based Cheaha Brewing Co. will now be statewide after announcing that they would mass-distribute their craft beer in kegs, bizjournals.com reported on September, 17.
The beer was previously available only at the Cheaha Brewing Co. restaurant and brewpub, but now, a limited number of kegs will be provided to Supreme Beverage Co., who will then distribute it across the state.
“Supreme Beverage is very proud and excited to partner with Cheaha Brewing Company to bring local beer to our family of the top craft brands that we already distribute,” said Barry Clough, a branch sales manager for Supreme Beverage. “This partnership will give us the opportunity to sell Cheaha Beers in other counties where folks are eager to buy locally brewed beer.”
As the popularity of the brewing company grew, establishments around the state requested kegs of their craft beer. Even though the majority of the beer made will be served at the restaurant, distributors will now have access to the limited supply, which will include pub favorites Noble Street Wheat, Old Reliable Ale and Pinhotti Pale Ale.

USA, MD: DuClaw Brewing Co. beers to be distributed in four new states
|
DuClaw Brewing Co. is headed into its next phase of expansion, setting its sights on distribution in four new states as craft beer sales across the U.S. continue to explode, Baltimore Business Journal reported on September, 18.
The beer maker plans to enter North Carolina, Ohio, New York and West Virginia by May. DuClaw, headquartered in Rosedale, currently distributes in all of Maryland, Washington, D.C., Delaware, New Jersey and the bulk of Pennsylvania and Virginia.
The expansion comes as DuClaw adds two new fermentation tanks, allowing it to double its 25,000 barrels brewed this year to between 50,000 and 55,000 barrels in 2015, said President Dave Benfield.
DuClaw is on pace to boost sales 50 percent this year, he said, and adding North Carolina could boost growth by 20 percent to 30 percent, alone.
“With growth being so intense, it’s hard to make strong predictions,” Benfield said of making sales projections, noting that DuClaw will brew 40 different beers in 2014.
DuClaw moved in April 2013 from Bel Air to Baltimore County, where it occupies 60,000 square feet.

Australia: Australians looking to embrace more diverse flavours in their beer
|
When you’re making a beer in honour of Australia’s first brewer—a noted womaniser who arrived as a convict on the First Fleet—a lack of respect for authority goes with the territory, The Malay Mail Online reported on September 19.
But it also says something about the changing beer tastes of Australians, known for their love of a “cold one”, that they are now looking to embrace more diverse flavours in their tipples from beetroot to liquorice, says brewmaster Chuck Hahn.
“We’re out to offend people,” declares the New York-born brewer from Sydney’s Malt Shovel Brewery who has been experimenting with beer for more than 40 years.
“We get lovers and haters. We want to be distinctive,” he told journalists from inside the brewery where he has produced the successful James Squire ales, in honour of Australia’s first brewer, since 1998.
Hahn is one of the country’s most high-profile brewers, and is widely credited with helping kickstart the boutique beer industry Down Under after a successful career with big brewers in the United States, New Zealand and Australia.
Over this time, he has seen the Australian palate move on from drinkers simply asking for whatever beer was on tap to something more discerning.

Namibia: SABMiller's first Namibian brewery produces its inaugural brew

SABMiller's first Namibian brewery has produced its inaugural brew, with bottles of Carling Black Label rolling off the packaging line, Interactive Investor reported on September 18.
This marks a significant milestone for SABMiller Namibia, which previously imported all its beer from neighbouring South Africa.
Construction of the new $33.3-million, 260,000 hectolitre brewery in Okahandja began in mid-2013 and will be completely finalised at the end of October 2014.
SABMiller's investments in Namibia, and more broadly across the continent, underline the company's belief in the region and its ability to drive long-term growth in Africa. Its commitment in Namibia also aligns with the national government's Vision 2030 of an industrial nation.

Zimbabwe: Delta revises beer prices in response to declining volumes and low disposable income

Zimbabwe’s largest beverages maker, Delta, has reviewed the prices of beer across the whole portfolio in response to the declining large volumes due to low disposable income, News Day reported on September 18.
The new prices came into effect on September 15 and have already been communicated to clients.
Delta Beverages general manager for lager beer business unit Munya Nyandoroh said affordability has become a big issue for the Zimbabwean consumer, thanking customers who have been complying with the recommended retail prices thereby keeping the products affordable.
“The price of the quart pack has been reduced to $1.60 from $1.75 making it the most affordable bottled mainstream beer offering. Eagle quart which was retailing at $1.20 has been reduced to $1,” Nyandoroh said.
He said the magnum 660ml returnable bottle for Golden Pilsener, Zambezi Lager and Bohlingers has also been reduced to $1.75 from $1.80. Also reduced is Castle Lite non-returnable bottle which was retailing at $1.20 now down to $1.15 including its popular 440ml can which is now $1.25 from $1.30.
Nyandoroh said while most outlets in the country tend to price the 375ml returnable bottle (pint) at $1, Delta Beverages recommended retail price was $0.95.
Nyandoroh said all other pack prices remained unchanged.

India: State of Kerala raises beer and other drinks taxes
|
The Kerala government, which is ushering into prohibition in a decade, on September 17 decided to further increase the tax on liquor and tobacco products. The decision to further tax the tipplers in Kerala came amidst the claim of the Congress government that it was ready to forgo the revenue from liquor business, The Indian Express reported.
After the cabinet meeting, chief minister Oommen Chandy said the tax on Indian made foreign liquor would be increased from present 115 per cent to 135 per cent. Apart from that, the IMFL would fetch a cess charge of 5 per cent on retail price. This is expected to fetch an additional income of Rs 1130 crore to the state exchequer. Besides, the tax on beer and wine would be increased from 50 per cent to 70 per cent, a step that is expected to give an additional income of Rs 100 crore for the cash-strapped government. The tax on tobacco products would be go up from 22 per cent to 30 per cent, a chunk of it would be ploughed back for the treatment of cancer patients.
At present, the liquor business forms 22 per cent of the state’s revenue. As a first step
