HOPS DO NOT NECESSARILY
NEED TO TOUCH BEER FOR
DRY HOPPING PURPOSES
ABSTRACT
A German research team that came up with the idea of
extracting hop aroma into beer by applying a combined
desorption/absorption process. The process-dependent
mass transfer was predicted using two different
approaches: a thermodynamic approach, and response
surface modelling. The methods offer the following
advantages: no beer losses, no clarification steps
needed, potential reuse of hops for bittering. Using
response surface methodology was clearly superior
as compared to calculating the mass transfer using
thermodynamic approximations.

Transferring Hop Volatiles into Beer, poster presentation at the Trends in Brewing Conference,

China: China antitrust authority’s approval of AB InBev and SABMiller merger may significantly affect future transactions
|
The Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM), China’s antitrust enforcement agency for mergers, has conditionally approved the USD108 billion acquisition of SABMiller PLC by Anheuser-Busch InBev NV, in a Decision published July 29, 2016.
The MOFCOM Decision requires divestiture of the 49% interest in China Resources Snow Breweries currently held by SABMiller to the other owner, China Resources Beer. This not surprising; in a 2008 MOFCOM decision, AB InBev was specifically prohibited from acquiring any interest in Snow Breweries, as one of the conditions MOFCOM imposed in InBev NV’s acquisition of Anheuser-Busch. However, this is the first time a MOFCOM published decision has distinguished relevant product markets based on mass brands versus mid-to-high end brands and defined the geographic market as local provinces instead of all of China.
AB InBev made the notification of this transaction on March 8, and the case was initiated on March 29. On March 14, InBev proposed to divest SABMiller’s 49% stake in Snow Breweries to China Resources Beer, the 51% owner. AB InBev may have proposed the remedy even before the case was accepted by MOFCOM because the combined entity would have to divest the interest anyway under the 2008 MOFCOM decision.

Malawi: Carlsberg sells its stake in Carlsberg Malawi to Castel Group
|
Danish brewer Carlsberg A/S on August 10 announced the sale of its stake in Carlsberg Malawi Limited to Castel Group for an undisclosed fee, as it executes its strategy to slim down the company and focus on core businesses.
As part of the deal, Carlsberg has signed a license agreement allowing Carlsberg beer to continue to be produced and sold in Malawi, it said.
"In line with Carlsberg Group's new strategy, we have evaluated all businesses in order to focus our efforts against a narrower and more precisely-defined set of priorities," said Graham Fewkes, executive vice president of Asia.
Earlier this year, the brewer laid out a new strategic plan that it hopes will position it for growth and reverse a lacklustre earnings trend amid pressure from declining eastern European markets and a weak rouble, in particular.
The initiatives adopted include an overhaul of its Russian business, a focus on premium brands in big cities and an expansion of both non-alcoholic drinks and craft beers. The company has merged all its existing profit improvement initiatives into a new single program, which it hopes would generate total net benefits of 1.5 billion to 2 billion Danish kroner ($225 million-$300 million) by 2018.

Australia: With overall rate of beer drinking declining the craft beer industry continues to grow
|
The rise of craft beer in Australia is leading some experts to believe the brew might be the perfect drink for Australia's changing alcohol consumption habits, ABC reported on August 5.
As the rate of beer drinking declines in Australia, the craft beer industry continues to grow, with large-scale brewing operations, local craft beer gardens and gypsy brewers (contract brewers) carving out their portion of the market.
According to the most recent Australian Health Survey, between 2010 and 2013 alcohol consumption in Australia dropped, with daily drinking at its lowest level since 1991.
IBISWorld senior industry analyst Andrew Ledovskikh said alcohol consumption habits in Australia were changing, contributing to the rise in popularity of boutique brands.
"We definitely are seeing a shift in the way Australians are looking at alcohol," Mr Ledovskikh said.
"People are turning away from traditional beer, so while craft beer is booming, actual beer consumption is dropping.
"Although they are reducing their overall alcohol consumption, craft beer is a little less associated with excess drinking or binge drinking.
"It is seen as a bit more of an experience — an experience that can be enjoyed without the negative connotations of alcohol."
Beer blogger and brewer Darren Magin agreed, saying craft beer encouraged a more

USA: Beer continues to edge out wine and liquor as America’s preferred alcoholic drink
|
Beer continues to edge out wine and liquor as the preferred alcoholic drink for adult Americans, according to the latest Gallup poll.
Forty-three percent of US adult drinkers say they drink beer most often, the highest percentage recorded since 2002, when 44 percent said the same.
Meanwhile, 32 percent of adult Americans say they prefer wine and 20 percent say they prefer liquor.
Beer has been the top choice for adult Americans who drink alcoholic beverages in the past three years, Gallup said.
Generally, 65 percent of adult Americans say they drink alcoholic beverages, while a quarter of them occasionally drink too much, found the poll.
“Drinking remains a popular pastime for most Americans. For the nearly two in three Americans who imbibe, beer is consistently the preferred beverage of choice,” Gallup said in a report.
Americans’ drink of choice differs by gender, as it has since the 1990s, Gallup found.
Half of female American drinkers prefer wine, based on combined data from 2010 to 2016, while beer and liquor tie as their next-favored beverage, at 23 percent.
Meanwhile, 54 percent of male drinkers name beer as their preferred drink, followed by liquor, 22 percent, and wine, 18 percent, according to Gallup.
It found that while one in four

Jamaica: Heineken invests €16 million in a new production line at its factory in Kingston
|
Heineken has invested €16 million in a new production line at its factory in Kingston, used to brew the Jamaican lager Red Stripe, FoodBev.com reported on August 9.
The Dutch company said that the new line would double the plant’s capacity to around 1 million hectoliters – or ten million cases – and would be dedicated to producing beer for the export market.
“With that new capacity, the intention is for the export market mainly so that we will keep our current line completely focused on the domestic market,” Red Stripe Jamaica managing director Ricardo Nuncio was quoted as saying by the Jamaican newspaper The Gleaner. “We expect a big uplift in our volumes in exports and so we feel that we will be using about 50% capacity; but that should be ramped up going forward, say the next three years.”
Heineken acquired Red Stripe from Diageo last year as part of a deal for brand owner Desnoes & Geddes.
At the time, Heineken CEO Jean-François van Boxmeer said the deal would allow it to ensure that it was “optimally structured to support our strategic agenda”.
“Having greater commercial control in the important regions of South-East Asia and the Caribbean will allow us to maximize

Canada & EU: Canada's mounted police force emerges as one of the surprise bidders for SABMiller’s European beer brands
|
Canada's mounted police force has emerged as one of the surprise bidders in the race for SABMiller’s £4 bln ($5.22 bln) Central and Eastern European beer brands.
PSP Investments, a Canadian pension fund manager which invests on behalf of the mounted police force, is one of a number of bidders for a portfolio of beers which are being sold off as part of Anheuser-Busch InBev’s takeover of SABMiller, according to a report in the Sunday Times newspaper.
According to the report, PSP has looked at a range of targets to build its business.
In February this year, PSP joined a consortium in a bid for London’s City Airport, but lost out to rival Canadian pension fund managers including Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan.
PSP’s interest in SABMiller’s beers is a surprise as the pension fund is usually interested in investing in infrastructure projects which are low risks.
PSP Investments declined to comment.
AB InBev offered to offload SABMiller’s beer brands in Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and Poland in April to help ease regulators concerns over the deal which has been dubbed “megabrew”.
Last week, AB InBev and SABMiller said the merger is expected to be completed on 10 October.

India: Beer and specifically craft beer increasingly setting the trend in India
|
Beer, and specifically craft beer, has been increasingly setting the trend in the last few years in India, with even hardened drinkers switching off from hard liquor, The Hans India reported on August 5.
"The beer market is the fastest growing alcohol segment in India by consumption and revenue change, especially with the entry of microbreweries about five years ago," Debjeet Banerjee, who manages the Lagom Kitchen and Brewery in Gurgaon and the Hype nightclub in south Delhi, told said.
"Now, all that you need to do is get yourself to the nearest microbrewery for a couple of glasses of freshly crafted beer that is free of synthetic preservatives and, if made well, packed with flavour, at reasonable prices.
"We are also celebrating the International Beer Day (August 5) with a 1+1 offer on freshly curated beer," Banerjee said.
With the revolution of the microbreweries in the Millennium City, more and more youngsters are opting for freshly-brewed craft beer, ditching the traditional bottles and cans. Also, with the rise in the number of global travellers and health conscious people, "more and more people are developing new tastes, habits and look forward to consuming unique and refreshing beer for a good, stress-free day," Banerjee said.

Burkina Faso: Beer taxes up 5% to 30%

Excise duty on beer in Burkina Faso has been increased from 25% to 30%, Agence Ecofin reported on August 6.
Taxes on other alcoholic beverages were increased in April and beer was exempt from the increase at that time.
The country’s government said it does not expect the tax increase to result in higher selling prices for consumers but admits no negotiations with local brewers have been conducted on this matter.

USA: Barley prices flat for new crop but this may change if weather affects corn and soybean production
|
Barley prices are flat for new crop, but prices could change if weather problems affect corn and soybean production in August, Farm & Ranch Guide reported on August 5 citing Frayne Olson, NDSU crops economist/marketing specialist.
“Soybean markets are extremely volatile. Soybean yields are a more important fact in what is happening to prices,” Olson said.
There are three ways the U.S. gets grain: annual production, imports and carryover.
Carryover is the big one concerning markets for most grain crops, and there is carryover in all stocks.
With barley, there is still an uncertainty with how many bushels will be produced this year and the quality of those bushels. But barley buyers don’t have to worry about where to find barley because of very good production last year.
The USDA divides barley into feed, exports, seed usage and food, alcohol and industrial use.
“The vast majority of the food, alcohol and industrial use is for malt,” Olson said.
The long-term trend in consumption of barley is down, and acreage of barley has dropped, along with feed usage. Producers feed more corn than barley because it is more available.
The barley market moved from the 80s when there was some 600 million bushels, down to the 200 million bushels
