Scientific Digest
A new approach to hop freshness
ABSTRACT
Chinese researchers propose a new way to
evaluate hop freshness, the HFI (Hop Freshness
Index). The hitherto established method is the HSI
(Hop storage index) where the degradation of alpha
and beta acids is measured with absorbance reading.
The determination of the HFI is based on the content
of alpha, beta and iso-alpha acids measured by a
new HPLC method. Within their trials they also
discovered that the degradation of alpha (and beta)
acids is hop variety dependent.

Germany: Craft beer trend finally taking off
|
In Germany, home of Oktoberfest and a five-century-old brewing law, beer consumption has been on an unstoppable decline, prompting Europe’s biggest producer of the beverage to turn to an unlikely place for help: the U.S., Bloomberg reported on October, 1.
Oliver Lemke has been making trips to Colorado, New York and California, learning how craft brewers grabbed a sizable portion of the U.S. market. Lemke, who says his American counterparts have taught him to be bolder and experiment with new categories, is now expanding his Berlin brewery as the trend reaches Germany, where the number of micro breweries has increased by more than 30 percent since 2005 to about 670.
“We Germans were convinced we’re making the world’s best beer but meanwhile, beer diversity suffered,” Lemke said while sipping his newest creation, an India Pale Ale with a hint of grapefruit and mango. “Craft brewing is a lucrative and interesting niche and it was a mistake not to do it earlier.”
Germany, home to the world’s oldest active brewery started by Bavarian monks a thousand years ago, is synonymous with beer and the country’s 8 billion-euro ($10 billion) industry. Yet consumption and output in Germany - which has beer gardens in cities such

World: Selling of shares by AB InBev officials over the past two weeks undermines speculation it plans to buy SABMiller - report
|
Anheuser-Busch InBev officials sold shares in the company worth more than 9 million euros over the past two weeks, further undermining speculation the world's largest brewer is planning to buy SABMiller, Reuters reported on September 26.
Chief Strategy Officer Jo Van Biesbroeck and directors Paulo Lemann and Stefan Descheemaeker sold shares between Sept. 16 and 19, the days after frenzied speculation about a major beer deal, according to data from the Belgian financial markets regulator.
Share trading by key company insiders is strong evidence that AB InBev was not planning to buy the world's second biggest beer maker at the time. A person with knowledge of such an acquisition would not be allowed to trade.
Dutch brewer Heineken, the world's third largest brewer, said on Sept. 14 it had been approached by SABMiller, but that its controlling shareholder intended to keep the company independent.
The move by SABMiller was seen as a way of protecting itself from a potential takeover by global leader AB InBev and sparked share price rises for all the major brewers.
The Wall Street Journal said on Sept. 15 that AB InBev was talking to banks about funding a possible $122 billion takeover. AB InBev shares rose 2.8 percent that day,

Ukraine & China: Obolon Brewery planning to expand on China’s beer market
|
Ukraine’s Obolon Brewery intends to expand significantly its presence on the Chinese beer market and set up own production facility in China, Pivnoe Delo reported on September 29 citing the company’s General Manager Igor Bulakh.
“This year we have already shipped to China around 60 containers (of 25 thousand cans each), and next year we plan to export to China 200-300 containers,” he said. According to Mr. Bulakh, the company entered the Chinese market in 2012 and is already a well-known brand there.
“We are well represented in southern China, less – in Shanghai and are just about to enter the market in Beijing,” he said.
The CEO noted that owing to the increasing sales volume in the country, Obolon has initiated negotiations on setting up a joint venture and buying a brewery in northern China.
