Scientific Digest
So what is the difference between seeded and unseeded hops?
ABSTRACT
Most of the hops available today are unseeded. However in the UK you will still find male hop plants in the hop gardens. Brewers would like to know if the presence of seeds in hops has an impact on brewing characteristics (for the good or bad). This German team of researchers have now found that neither foam characteristics nor the hop oil composition was affected in brewing trials comparing seeded and unseeded hops, but what proved to be different was the beta-glucosidase activity (higher with unseeded hops). This might eventually have an impact on the aroma development overtime with the release of bound aroma compounds in the finished beers.

Asia: Thailand moves further in countering growing demand for alcohol
|
Thailand will ban alcohol sales near universities and technical colleges, putting the nation at the forefront of efforts in Asia to curb consumption, Bloomberg reported on July 23.
Under amendments to the Alcohol Control Act endorsed by the government on July 22 and to be implemented nationwide late next month, bars, clubs and retailers will be prohibited from selling alcoholic beverages within a 300-meter (328 yards) radius of colleges. The measures are aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle and tackling alcohol-related problems, including underage sex, the Ministry of Public Health said.
Thailand is moving further than other governments in countering growing demand for alcohol in Asia and the Pacific, the fastest-growing beer market for brewer Heineken NV. The World Health Organization has called for a 10 percent reduction in the harmful use of alcohol by 2025 from 2010 levels, implicating it in more than 200 diseases and injury conditions that the UN agency says kill about 3.3 million people a year.
“Thailand has the strongest tradition of trying to curb alcohol consumption and reduce alcohol-related harms,” said Juergen Rehm, professor and chair of addiction policy at the University of Toronto’s Dalla Lana School of Public Health.

Singapore & Myanmar: Dispute between two stakeholders in Myanmar Brewery set to go on even longer
|
A lengthy dispute between the two stakeholders in Myanmar Brewery (MBL) is set to go on even longer with the parties in conflict over the amount to be paid for Fraser & Neave (F&N)'s stake in the firm, Straits Times reported on July 23.
An independent valuer said on July 21 that the fair value of F&N's holding is estimated to be 500 billion kyat (S$586 million). The valuer's report was welcomed by the other stakeholder, Myanma Economic Holdings (MEHL).
But MEHL said on July 22 that it disagrees with F&N's position that the sale should take place in United States dollars according to the 2013 exchange rate.
F&N estimates this to be US$560 million (S$765 million).
"MEHL stands ready and willing to conclude the sale and purchase of F&N's stake in MBL at 500 billion kyat within the 30-day period ordered by the arbitral tribunal," MEHL director Nay Wynn said.
MEHL had started legal proceedings against F&N after Thai tycoon Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi won control of the drinks-and-property conglomerate in a US$11 billion deal in 2013.
A court ruled that MEHL, which holds a 45 per cent stake in MBL, is entitled to buy F&N's 55 per cent share, after MEHL argued that its partner breached

Malawi: Forensic auditors uncover huge ‘cashgate’ at Carlsberg Breweries Malawi Ltd.
|
Forensic auditors have uncovered a huge 'cashgate' amounting to more than K5.2 billion at Malawi's giant brewery, Carlsberg Brewery Malawi Limited, AllAfrica reported on July 13.
The scandal has led to the suspension of Carlsberg Malawi Financial Controller Geobra Kamanga, his deputy Austin Phiri and Ezzra Njobvu (Procurement Manager) who are suspected to have colluded to defraud the company.
According to Nyasa Times sources, the forensic experts who include one from the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) uncovered the fraud mainly through purchase of raw materials like sugar and compromised procurement of raw materials and services.
"It was a network of people and this has been happening for a long time and that is why the figure is huge," said a source privy to the investigation.
He added, "This could be one of the most complicated white collar crimes in Malawi so far and it was only because of these foreign investigators that the fraud was unearthed."
A Carlsberg Malawi official who did not want to be named said some big gurus at the company became suspicious of Kamanga when he 'mysteriously' missed his flight to Hong Kong two weeks ago where he was going for a Board meeting together with some bosses.
