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,

USA: European malt remains extremely popular among US craft brewers
|
When Ron Barchet set up his Pennsylvania craft brewery after quitting his job as a financial analyst, he turned to Europe for the malted barley needed to make a distinctive-tasting beer.
Two decades on, and Barchet’s Victory Brewing Co. has been joined by a brigade of small American brewers, now multiplying at a rate of about 20 percent a year, in a $22 billion industry that’s helping drive record exports of European malt to the U.S., Bloomberg reported on August 16.
“We’ve been using European malt from day one in our brewery, and that was one of the things that we did think would differentiate us,” Barchet said in an interview. “The barley that they grow in Germany and in Europe in general is more suitable for all-malt beers, which most craft beers are.”
Craft brewers tend to use more than three times as much malt as their industrial-scale peers, which typically brew with a mixture of malt and cheaper grains such as corn and rice, known as adjuncts.
While craft volumes made up 7.8 percent of the U.S. beer market in 2014, they accounted for a quarter of malt consumed, data compiled by the beer makers’ lobby show. Meanwhile, numbers of producers

Vietnam: Sabeco contemplating listin on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange
|
Vietnam’s largest brewer Saigon Beer, Alcohol and Beverage Corp (Sabeco) is contemplating a listing on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange, where the country’s largest blue chips are currently listed, the local industry ministry said, in a document.
“The ministry has reported to the government about its privatization plan for Sabeco four times since 2012, and the overall goal is to list the company’s stocks as the state capital is divested,” the Ministry of Industry and Trade said in a response to the Vietnam Association of Financial Investors, which favours state exit from commercial businesses.
“The ministry acknowledges that the delay in listing has disappointed investors. Therefore, it will ask the government for consideration of listing on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange,” it added.
VAFI had earlier urged the government to accelerate the divestment in Vietnam’s two biggest beer firms, Sabeco and its Hanoi-based peer Habeco. Accordingly, the association expects the industry ministry, which represents the state holdings in these two enterprises, to act swiftly in selling significant stakes from almost 90 per cent (in Sabeco) and 82 per cent (in Habeco), to minority holdings.
The local government had indicated that it would bring down state ownership

Sri Lanka: Ceylon Beverage Holdings reports Rs501 mln loss in June quarter because of floods
|
Sri Lanka's Ceylon Beverage Holdings, brewer for Lion and Carlsberg in Sri Lanka, lost Rs501 million in the June quarter as the floods disrupted production, interim accounts filed with the Colombo Stock Exchange showed.
Revenues fell 36 percent to Rs5.93 billion in the June 2016 quarter from a year earlier.
Sri Lanka experienced severe flooding in a low-lying area near the capital Colombo where the factory is located.
Production is expected to resume later this year.
Lion Brewery said its brands will be made in breweries owned by its partner Carlsberg group.
The government has reduced duty on the firm's imports to allow it to import and sell beer.
Sri Lanka's The Sunday Times newspaper said customs duty for beer with alcohol of less than 5 percent has been cut to Rs129 per litre from Rs500 and for beer with over 5 percent alcohol to Rs246 from Rs500.
The firm will also pay taxes such as port and airport levy.
The import levies paid by the firm is expected to be broadly the similar to the excise duties it would have paid on domestically produced beer.

Italy: Retail beer sales up 6.9% in value in January-May this year
|
Italian beer sales, in the retail channel, have grown by 6.9% in value, and by 4% in volume, during the first five months of 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, ESM reported on August 17.
According to data published by IRI, total turnover amounted to €1.2 billion, with “speciality” beers, although still representing a niche market, boosting the growth.
Light pale ales (representing 95% of sales) grew by 4.3%; flavoured beers were up by 36%, red and pale ales (+6% alcohol) grew by 14%, while weiss beer increased by 8%.
Italy is third in Europe for the number of microbreweries, producing 445,000 hectolitres in 2014, equivalent to 3.3% of the total production.
The three major players (Heineken, Peroni (SABMiller), and AB InBev), together account for 66% of the overall beer market in Italy, according to IRI.
For its part, the Italian Association of Beer and Malt Producers (Assobirra) claims that Heineken has a 28% in volume, followed by SABMiller (18.6%), AB InBev (8.7%), and Carlsberg (6.1%).

World: SABMiller boss may see his share awards decline if SAB’s share price continues to compare unfavourably with rivals
|
The Brexit vote could hit the blockbuster windfall that SABMiller’s boss will enjoy from the brewer’s £79 bln sale to rival Anheuser-Busch InBev, The Telegraph reported on August 13.
Alan Clark, a 25-year veteran of SAB and chief executive since 2013, has some long-term share awards that are valued in part by comparing the brewer’s share price performance against a group of rival consumer goods companies, including London-listed spirits giant Diageo and Unilever.
While shares in Diageo and Unilever have surged following the vote to leave the EU, SABMiller’s gains have been capped by AB InBev’s takeover offer.
If SAB’s share price continues to compare unfavourably with its rivals when the AB InBev deal completes, it will diminish the value of some of Mr Clark’s share awards, weighing on his overall windfall, which was expected to be £57 mln based on the pound’s value prior to the referendum.
Diageo shares have leapt 19pc since the Brexit vote as investors bet that the owner of Smirnoff vodka and Captain Morgan rum will benefit from the pound’s slump after the referendum, because it generates the majority of its revenues overseas in currencies other than sterling.
Unilever stock has also climbed 13.9pc since the June vote on hopes

South Africa: Food and Allied Workers Union accepts R1.5 bln deal from AB InBev, SABMiller
|
SABMiller and Anheuser-Busch InBev passed another hurdle on August 12 as after months of negotiations, the Food and Allied Workers Union (Fawu) accepted a R1.5 billion deal from the merging parties on the South African Breweries (SAB) Zenzele employee share programme, IOL reported.
Fawu general secretary Katishi Masemola said on August 14 that a R1.5 bln payment would be made not only to the 9 146 employee portion of the beneficiary base as originally envisioned, but was now extended to other Zenzele beneficiaries, totalling 41 000 registered and qualifying liquor store and tavern owners.
This was now an advanced payment - and not an ex-gratia, once-off payment - on an interest-free basis at about R32 per Zenzele scheme participation right - effectively an SAB or SABMiller’s South African operations’ share - and deductible at the end of the scheme.
For a worker who has 1 000 shares they will now receive R32 000.
Masemola said on August 14 that the outcome was not the “expected first prize, but the best outcome in the circumstances”.
He said when consulting with Fawu workers, the members had opted not to strike and had wanted the advance payment.
Fawu has taken an active interest in the mooted multibillion-dollar merger between

India: United Breweries withholds RS1.64 crore payment to Vijay Mallya
|
United Breweries Ltd has withheld Rs 1.64 crore payment to its Chairman Vijay Mallya after tax authorities barred any payments made to him in view of ongoing tax case against his defunct Kingfisher Airlines, NDTV reported on August 13.
Without naming Mr Mallya, the company said it has received an order dated June 28, 2016 from the Commissioner of Income Tax (TDS), prohibiting the company from making any payment in the nature of salary, remuneration, allowances etc to a director.
In a stock exchange filing, United Breweries Ltd (UBL) said: "The company has accordingly withheld payment Rs 1.64 crore relating to the director commission and sitting fess payable to the aforesaid director."
