Brewery news Japan: Japan’s brewers extend their lines of non-alcoholic beer-like beverages
Ahead of the summer peak demand season, Japanese brewers are extending the product lines of nonalcoholic beer-like beverages that they claim offer healthful benefits, Jiji Press reported on June 2.

The popularity of such drinks is on the rise, although the beer market is shrinking amid the country’s falling birth rate.

Beer-makers aim to attract health-conscious consumers, stressing the supposed added value of their nonalcoholic beverages, such as blocking the absorption of fat.

Last week, Sapporo Breweries Ltd. launched Sapporo Plus, the first nonalcoholic beer-like beverage certified by the Consumer Affairs Agency as tokuho, a food for specified health uses.

The new beverage containing a dietary fiber called indigestible dextrin helps suppress the absorption of sugar in meals, according to the Sapporo Holdings Ltd. unit.

This month, rivals Kirin Brewery Co. and Asahi Breweries Ltd. are scheduled to launch similar beer-flavored, alcohol-free drinks.

Kirin’s Perfect Free and Asahi’s Style Balance both claim they reduce the absorption of sugar and fat.

Unlike Sapporo Plus, which has certification from the government, the two companies tout such health functions on their own responsibility under a new labeling system that was introduced in April for functional foods.

Suntory Beer Ltd., which sells All-Free, Japan’s most popular nonalcoholic beer, plans to launch a ...More info on site


Brewery news UK: Carlsberg UK’s craft portfolio now includes 39 beers

The portfolio has been sourced through Carlsberg UK’s third party partners and the Carlsberg Group global portfolio and includes lagers, bitters, pilsners, pale ales, porters and wheat beers – with a mix of draught, bottled and canned products available.

New additions for 2015 include:

Boulevard Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale – Tank 7 is a strong, yet crisp and refreshing beer that combines the best of American hops with the classic fermentation aromas and flavours of Belgian Saisons. ABV 8.5% and available in 355ml bottles.

Fuller’s Frontier – Frontier is unique in that it embodies a wealth of flavours, due largely to the special blend of high quality new-world hops, and the traditional brewing style to which Fuller’s is so accustomed. ABV 4.5% and available in 30l kegs.

Grimbergen Blonde – Belgian Ale, slightly fruity and round and harmonious in the mouth. ABV 6.7% and available in 330ml bottles and 20l kegs.

Brewery news Ethiopia: Heineken launches Ethiopia’s first non-alcoholic beer
Heineken Breweries S.c. launches Buckler, its first non alcoholic beer in Ethiopia, 2Merkato.com reported on May 29.

Buckler 0.0% alcohol, as the label indicates, is brewed at Harar Brewery and will initially be available in Harar, Dire Dawa, and Addis Ababa.

The decision to launch a non-alcoholic beer, which is the first of its kind in Ethiopia, is based on the understanding that there are consumers who like the natural taste of beer but do not want to consume alcohol or do not want to consume alcohol at times when alcohol consumption is inappropriate. This gives Heineken Breweries S.c. the opportunity to excite its consumers with new and unique choices. The recommend retail price of Buckler 0.0% is 13 Ethiopian Birr and it will be available in major retail outlets.

Heineken has a long history with Africa. Already in 1900 Heineken was exporting beer to various African countries (Ghana, Nigeria, Liberia and Sierra Leone). The first brewery in DRC was established in 1923. For many years the business expanded across the continent and in 2011 the acquisition of Harar and Bedele Breweries in Ethiopia was made. In August 2014, the new Greenfield brewery in Kilinto, Addis Ababa became operational. Heineken Ethiopia's key ...More info on site


Brewery news Cambodia: Former Heineken beer distributor signs agreement to sell Corona beer
Cambodia’s former Heineken beer distributor has signed an agreement to become the exclusive partner of Corona beer in the Kingdom, on the heels of its dispute over Heineken branded-beer that has left fresh stock of the Dutch lager widely unavailable across the country, The Phnom Penh Post reported on June 2.

“We are very pleased to bring the most popular Mexican beer in the world to Cambodia,” said Attwood Import Export founder Lim Chivv Ho at a signing ceremony at the Intercontinental Hotel in Phnom Penh on May 29.

The agreement became effective on June 1.

A messy dispute erupted after Attwood lost the distribution rights for Heineken beer in December of last year to Cambodia Brewery Limited (CBL), a local brewery which has been fully bought out by Heineken over the years.

The dispute has since led to a shortage of Heineken beer in Cambodia, with restaurants, bars, and wholesalers having little luck purchasing new stock.

“We regret that Heineken is currently not widely available in the Cambodia market,” CBL, whose portfolio also includes Anchor and Tiger beers, said in a statement last week.

Attwood had been distributing Heineken for 17 years, and lamented the loss of the lucrative contract, saying in January that it ...More info on site


Brewery news South Korea: Imported beer continues to increase its share at large discount stores
Imported brands continue to increase their share of total beer sales at large discount stores in South Korea, The Chosun Ilbo reported on June 01.

Homeplus said on May 31 that imports accounted for 40.2 percent of its total beer sales in the first five months of this year, up from 12.1 percent in 2009 and 32.8 percent last year. Other large discount stores including E-Mart reported similar sales ratios over the period.

According to the Korea Customs Office, beer imports grow by an average of more than 20 percent every year. Last year's sales were double the 2011 level.

Homeplus attributed the rise to lower prices and a wider choice of brands resulting from free-trade agreements with the U.S. and the European Union, and the overall popularity of low-alcohol beverages, among other factors.

Barley news UK: Barley varieties Irina and Talisman receive full approval for brewing
High-yielding barley varieties Irina and Talisman have received full approval for brewing from the Institute of Brewing and Distilling (IBD) in the UK, Farmers Weekly reported on May 29.

Irina from breeder KWS becomes the highest-yielding spring malting barley fully accepted by the industry. Likewise, Senova’s Talisman takes the industry’s winter malting barley top spot.

According to KWS value chain manager Dr Kirsty Richards, the new UK approval follows successful large-scale macro-malting and brewing tests carried out for the IBD by Molson Coors, Bairds Malt, Crisp Malting and Boortmalt.

“It comes after Irina’s acceptance from leading brewers on the continent last year, including Heineken, Carlsberg and Radeberger, who have already seen a significant commercial tonnage from farmers in France, Germany and Denmark.

“As a result, UK growers can be confident that it will readily find a premium market on the continent as well as on home soil,” she says.

Dr Richards points out that industry assessments confirmed Irina has a high water extract, ahead of Propino and Tipple and just behind Concerto.

“Irina is 6% higher yielding in Recommended List trials than the next best IBD-approved varieties and on par with the best feed-only varieties such as Shada.”

Newly approved winter malting barley Talisman is now the ...More info on site


Barley news Australia: Coopers Brewery convinced Australia’s barley growers are entering a golden age
Australia’s barley growers are entering a golden age, according to Coopers quality manager Doug Stewart, with varieties boasting great yields and high quality, Farm Weekly reported on May 31.

Dr Stewart was a guest speaker at a recent Rural Media SA lunch, where he spoke about the importance of barley and malt grades to brewers, alongside Coopers Brewery managing director and chief brewer Tim Cooper, who gave a colourful history of the 153-year-old family business.

Coopers is the largest remaining Australian-owned brewery and last financial year produced a record 75.3 million litres of beer.

Dr Stewart has been with the company for six months, previously working for the Adelaide Malting Company, Joe White Maltings and then Cargill.

He said there was no magic answer on what barley variety growers should seed, but there was more opportunity now in the industry than ever before.

"Today's malting barley varieties are yielding better than some feed barley varieties," he said.

"That's an enormous upside for Australian barley growers, in that there is no longer that risk associated with growing a malting variety.

"Commander from the University of Adelaide is the highest-yielding malting barley at the moment and is very robust agronomically, while Latrobe from Intergrain is accredited and has a ...More info on site
