How to quantify hop aroma utilization
ABSTRACT
We all know that there is no easy way to quantify the hop oil utilization due to the complexity of the hop oil composition. However Belgian researchers have developed a methodology to bring light into the darkness. With the combination of HS-SPME and GC-MS plus SIM (selected fragmentation monitoring) they were able to determine selected markers for floral and spicy aromas selecting specifications. Within their work they also discovered that a certain compound, trans-nerolidol, can be used as a marker in beers to measure flavor instability. So if you have some money aside, why not invest in some decent analytical instruments ?

World: Analysts say 3G Capital’s Kraft Fods – Heinz deal puts possible takeover bid for SABMiller by AB InBev on hold
|
MegaBrew may have to wait a bit, Bloomberg reported on March 26.
The possible combination of Anheuser-Busch InBev NV and its $85 billion rival SABMiller Plc has been the subject of deal chatter for at least a year. The Brazilian investors behind 3G Capital are some of the top holders of AB InBev. Some analysts have speculated that 3G could help orchestrate a transaction just as it did when InBev NV bought Budweiser maker Anheuser-Busch in 2008 to create the No. 1 brewer.
The problem is, that’s the same 3G Capital that just helped facilitate the merger agreement announced on March 25 between food giants Kraft Foods Group Inc. and H.J. Heinz. 3G may only have room for one mega-deal at a time.
“One of the possibilities would have been that 3G and AB InBev would have gone for SABMiller in sort of a combined way,” Richard Withagen, an Amsterdam-based analyst at Kepler Cheuvreux, said in a phone interview. “They could do it on their own. But obviously the involvement of 3G would be of help.”
Combining SABMiller with AB InBev would probably yield about $1 billion in annual savings, less than the $1.5 billion that Kraft and Heinz are aiming for, said Morningstar

World: AB InBev close to proposing JAB Holding Chief Executive Olivier Goudet as its next chairman - sources
|
Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest brewer, is close to proposing JAB Holding Chief Executive Olivier Goudet as its next chairman, Reuters said on March 26 claiming it got the information from four sources familiar with the matter.
The ascent of Goudet, a Frenchman who has been on the AB InBev board since 2011, highlights the close ties between the associates of JAB and 3G Capital, two of the most important private investors in the global consumer goods industry. 3G Capital has four of its founding partners on the brewer's board.
Goudet, a former Mars Inc CFO, would replace Dutchman Kees Storm whose term expires this year. He would bring expertise in operations and deal-making, both core to AB InBev, which has grown into the world's largest brewer through a series of cross-border combinations over the years.
"When it comes to pursuing organic growth, he's got a lot of expertise from his Mars days that I'm sure will be relevant but these guys don't need any help when it comes to knowing how to do deals," said Bernstein Research analyst Trevor Stirling.
Large mega-brewers are struggling with low growth in developed markets as weak economies curb consumer spending and many young drinkers choose cocktails

Zimbabwe: Delta invests US$17 mln in Chibuku project
|
Construction of Delta Corporation’s US$17 million Chibuku plant at Fairbridge, just outside Bulawayo, will get underway in the next few weeks after the country’s biggest brewer last week received the first batch of equipment from Germany and South Africa, reported Zimbabwe Daily, March 26.
The delivery consisted of the main packaging plant procured from the world’s leading packaging and bottling machine manufacturer, Krones of Germany and brewing and fermentation tanks from Interfab of South Africa.
C&M understands that the remainder of the equipment, which consists of brewing and refrigeration plant sourced from GEA Process Technology of South Africa and grain silos from Cimbria of Denmark, are now expected in the country next month.
Alex Makamure, the company secretary for the cash-rich beverages’ firm which is listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange, confirmed the company had received the first batch of equipment, saying the remainder would be delivered next month.
“We have started receiving the plant from Krones and tanks from South Africa with the remainder of the equipment expected in April,” Makamure said, adding that the new plant would be commissioned by June this year.
“The project, inclusive of civil works and ancillary services, will cost US$17 million,” said Makamure.

She said the company will produce 10 times more beer than it currently does once the plant is operational.

EU: European companies under pressure to display nutritional labels on alcoholic drinks
|
Nutritional labelling on alcoholic drinks could become the norm after four of the world’s biggest brewers backed plans to add calorie counts to their products in Europe, reported Wall Street Journal, March 26.
The Brewers of Europe, a trade body representing beer makers across the continent, said members soon would begin listing nutritional information on their brands. Anheuser-Busch InBev SA, SABMiller PLC, Heineken NV and Carlsberg A/S were among those to endorse the proposal. Some of them planned to start of 26th of March.
Alcohol producers are coming under pressure to follow the food industry by providing more detail on nutrition, especially in developed markets where consumers increasingly make health-based decisions.
In 2014, 71% of Americans said "healthfulness" was a consideration when buying foods and beverages, up from 58% in 2010, says the International Food Information Council Foundation.
Diageo, the world’s biggest alcoholic beverages company, said it would begin offering per-serving calorie counts on products including Smirnoff vodka and Guinness.
Labels could hit stores in the US within two months, it said. Some beer companies already list nutritional information on their websites — SABMiller has done so since 2008 — but the new plans commit the companies to providing uniform breakdowns for all products sold

Russia: Dangerous under the counter alternatives to beer and vodka rise in popularity
|
As the economic crisis sweeps through Russia, a dangerous trend is emerging: the rise in consumption of potentially lethal moonshine, medical alcohol or even cleaning products, reported UsNews, March 25.
Layoffs, wage cuts and price increases are combining to worsen the problem, by increasing the mix of dangerous products in the market. Those who can no longer afford store-bought drinks are turning to "under the counter" alternatives that can cause serious damage, even death.
"A number of patients who previously could afford expensive spirits are now forced to reorient in the sense that they use cheaper and lower-quality spirits," Alexander Polikarpov, the head doctor of the Alcospas chain of alcohol rehab clinics in Moscow, says in his consulting room.
Sales of legal beer and vodka have fallen sharply as prices rise, buoyed in part by the rising cost of imported ingredients after the ruble's value tumbled last year. Analysts say falling sales likely don't mean that demand is falling, simply that it is being pushed into an illegal and dangerous black market.
The alternatives to increasingly costly legal alcohol are many and varied. At the safer end of the scale is vodka production diverted and sold on the side by workers at legitimate distilleries,

New Zealand: A 3 per cent beer price increase to be passed to customers
|
The price of beer will increase by nearly 3 per cent as New Zealand's biggest brewers try to recoup costs in a flagging market, reported businessday, March 27.
Overseas-owned breweries Lion, DB and Independent Breweries are all hiking beer prices by the end of April.
DB spokesman Simon Smith said it would increase tap and packaged beer prices by 2.8 per cent from April 13.
"We have kept this price rise to a minimum, despite tough market conditions and increased operating costs," Smith said.
Lion national sales director Danny Phillips said that from March 30, Lion was increasing its price for all pack beer by 2.8 per cent.
However, Pak 'n' Save supermarket owner Foodstuffs marketing manager Katherine Klouwens said the three breweries were putting some prices up.
Countdown spokeswoman Kate Porter said it would pass price increases on to customers.
In March 2012, DB bumped up its tap-beer price by 1 per cent. Lion increased its prices by 1.5 per cent a week later.
Lion, owned by Japanese beverage giant Kirin, produces beers including Stella Artois, Steinlager, Speights and the Mac's range.
DB, owned by Dutch brewer Heineken, produces Heineken, Double Brown, Tui and Export Gold while Independent Brewery, owned by Japanese brewer Asahi, produces Haagen, NZ Pure
