More about the hard resins
ABSTRACT
We learned last month that the composition of the hard resins might contain a good portion of prenylated hop flavonoids. This article now explains how to brew with it. The authors found that both varietal dependencies and hopping regimes to have an influence. Should we ever run into another shortage on alpha, we will have the hard resins to count on.

Ireland: Ireland’s 60-70 craft brewers now hold 1.2% of the market
|
For most people, knowledge of Irish beer begins and ends with Guinness.
Seamus O’Hara is trying to change that a pint at a time, The Toronto Star reported on July 30.
As chairman of the Independent Craft Brewers of Ireland, O’Hara has his work cut out for him in a country where one out of every three beers sold is a pint of Guinness. It’s work he’s been doing since founding based Carlow Brewing in 2006.
“People thought I was completely insane,” said O’Hara, who was in Toronto this past weekend with a small vanguard of his fellow Irish craft brewers for the Toronto Festival of Beer.
When he founded Carlow, there were “about 10” independent breweries in Ireland. Today, there are between 60 and 70. Roughly 50 of them have their own brewing facilities (the rest make their beer on contract at other breweries). Despite the growth, craft beer holds just 1.2 per cent of the Irish market, says O’Hara.
“We’re not going to take over from Guinness,” O’Hara chuckled.
While some smaller Irish craft breweries push the envelope with bolder styles more common to the North American craft brewing scene, O’Hara and many others take a more traditional approach.
“The vast majority of what we

Canada: Molson Coors to launch its US Blue Moon beer nationally
|
Molson Coors Canada is hoping that a beer by another name will be a sweet selling point for discerning drinkers, The Globe and Mail reported on July 29.
The brewing giant announced on July 29 that it is bringing its US “craft” beer brand, Blue Moon, to Canada starting August 15. The wheat beer will be sold nationally at bars and restaurants, under the name Belgian Moon.
The brand, which launched in 1995, has come under criticism in the U.S. in recent years for not making its link to MillerCoors LLC known on its packaging – a tactic that some believe indicates a big brewer trying to pass off one of its products as a smaller-scale craft beer. Other brands have encountered similar scepticism, such as Shock Top, which is sold by Anheuser-Busch InBev; and the Granville Island Brewing Co. brand, which Molson purchased in 2009.
The Brewers Association, a craft industry group in the U.S., defines craft beer as having an annual production of six million barrels or less, produced by a brewery that is less than one-quarter owned or controlled by another company in the alcoholic beverage industry that is not a craft brewer. While there is no official definition, industry

Sri Lanka: Fitch Ratings confirm Lion Brewery’s National Long-Term Rating at 'AA-(lka)' with a stable outlook
|
Fitch Ratings said on July 30 it has confirmed Lion Brewery (Ceylon) PLC's National Long-Term Rating at 'AA-(lka)' with a stable outlook.
The rating agency also confirmed Lion's senior unsecured rating and the rating on its debentures at 'AA-(lka)'.
“The National Long-Term rating takes into account Lion's strong business profile as the leading beer producer in Sri Lanka,” a statement said.
“The rating also factors in the growing demand for beer driven by increasing urbanisation and preference for lower alcohol content beverages.”
Lion is the largest producer of beer in Sri Lanka, where beer is the second most-consumed alcoholic beverage after arrack. Its flagship brand, Lion, accounts for close to 80% of its revenue, with its domestically produced and imported brands making up the rest. Lion's leading position helps the company secure new brands and access a wide distribution network.
Lion's leverage increased to 2.9x during the financial year ended 31 March 2015 (FY15) from 2.2x at end-FY14 after the MBL acquisition was completed in October 2014, and following capacity expansion over the last two years. However, Fitch believes the financial risk is partially offset by improvement in its competitive position stemming from the investments. The acquisition of MBL will bring brands such

Hungary: Competition authority orders the largest breweries to reduce sales via exclusive contracts
|
Hungary's competition authority on July 30 ordered the largest breweries operating in Hungary to reduce their beer sales via exclusive contracts to pubs, hotels, restaurants and other catering venues so that smaller firms can gain market share, Nasdaq reported.
The largest breweries - the local arm of Dutch brewer Heineken NV, London-based SABMiller PLC, and Molson Coors Brewing Co. - have agreed to comply, so the authority, GVH, decided no infringement was committed and didn't impose any fines.
Based on its investigation of the big breweries' contracts between 2007 and 2013, GVH established that the firms, together with brewer Pecsi Sorfozde Zrt., controlled by Ottakringer Getraenke AG of Austria, commanded about 44% of beer sales in Hungary's catering sector.
With Carlsberg A/S, which has no brewery in Hungary but is a major importer, these five biggest participants share up to 95% of the market, GVH said.
"As a result, neither imported products nor smaller breweries could obtain market share from the big breweries because of the exclusive contracts," GVH said.
Heineken Hungary has always conducted business in compliance with the legal regulations and the rules of fair market behavior, the company said in an emailed statement to The Wall Street Journal. The company operates

New Zealand: Moa Group well positioned to take advantage of growing demand for craft beer
|
Moa Group says it is well positioned to take advantage of a growing market for craft beer, with lower overheads and improved margins, Radio New Zealand reported on July 30.
Shareholders elected two new directors, and a chair with industry experience to lead the board, at its annual meeting in Auckand on July 29.
Chief executive Geoff Ross said the company had made a number of operational improvements over the past year which had reduced costs and positioned the business to develop new market opportunities.
"We're focusing on New Zealand and Australia, that's where we've got our own people and resource.
"China's really exciting for us at the moment ... we've got a great distributor there, we've been working hard with them (and) we see growth there," he said.
Moa's share price ended half a cent down to 28 cents on July 29, a fraction of its 107.5 cent price just two years ago.

South Korea: Koreans want their imported beer in big cans
|
Beer cans are getting bigger with growing popularity of imported beer. Most canned beers sold in South Korea have been 330 ml or 355 ml, but people in their 30s and 40s who have developed a penchant for imported brews are plumbing for the half-litre and boosting the sales dramatically, The Chosunilbo reported on July 30.
Imported beer sales have grown steeply from a couple of years ago, and they now account for about 40 percent of total sales in major supermarket chains E-Mart, Lotte Mart, and Homeplus.
Sales of imported beers at Lotte Mart increased by 9.7 percent so far this year, and sales of domestic beers went down by 4.7 percent.
Most of bestselling imported beers come in 500-ml cans, which accounted for 23 percent of total beer sales at Lotte Mart this year, up four percentage points from a year ago.
In the same period, sales of 330- and 355-ml cans, which are mostly produced domestically, dropped five percentage points to 59.8 percent.
The Netherlands' Heineken in 500-ml can has been the import bestseller at Lotte Mart this year. For E-Mart, it has been Japan's Asahi, while Paulaner from Germany is most popular in Homeplus.
