SPEBU - A NEW ALTERNATIVE
METHOD FOR BITTERNESS?
ABSTRACT
A combination of Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) to
the BU method was established already in 2011 by
Wietstock. Now after further optimisation and more
ring studies, this method is presented by a U.S.
researcher team. The accuracy is comparable to current
methodology and with no need for iso-octane is more
environmentally friendly and also economical.

UK: AB InBev extends partnership with C&C Group
|
Magners producer C&C is outsourcing the distribution of its cider portfolio through an expansion of a deal with AB InBev, The Drinks Business reported on December 12.
The global beer giant will take on distribution of C&C’s cider brands, which includes its flagship Irish cider brand, as well as Blackthorne, its ‘craft’ cider line Chaplin & Cork’s among others.
As part of the reciprocal agreement, C&C Group will continue brewing, kegging, bottling some of AB InBev products at the C&C Wellpark Brewery in Glasgow, including Stella Artois and Beck’s, which it will distribute across the UK and Republic of Ireland.
The two companies have worked together since 2009 and Jason Warner, President of AB InBev UK & Ireland, said he was happy to see the strengthening of business ties in what had proved to be a “close, strategic partnership”.
“The new and extended contracts will utilise AB InBev’s world class distribution network to bring people in England, Wales, Channel Island and the Isle of Man more choice in the cider category. This partnership will provide our customers in both the on and off-trade with a renowned, complementary portfolio including Budweiser, Corona, Stella Artois, Goose, Camden, Magners, Chaplin & Cork’s, Blackthorn and K from

Kyrgyzstan: All-woman craft brewery little short of revolution in Bishkek’s drinking culture
|
Tucked away in an unlikely spot, wedged between a domino club popular with Turks and a Soviet-built apartment block, is a treat for beer-lovers in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan’s capital, EurasiaNet reported on December 9.
Save the Ales, a microbrewery set up by a Kyrgyz-Kazakh pair, Aida Musulmankulova and Arzu Kurbanova, may be small and spartan. But what it is doing to Bishkek’s drinking culture is little short of revolutionary. While bland imported lagers and watery local brews have long been the norm, Save the Ales is turning out its own homemade craft brews, borrowing from a trend that has established deep roots in the United States and elsewhere.
“Wherever we have traveled, we have always tried good beer,” said Musulmankulova.
Around three years ago, she and her partner, Kurbanova, decided to take the plunge.
“We decided to brew it [ourselves]. We learned everything from the Internet. It wasn’t as difficult as we thought.”
Craft beers tend to be more experimental than classic European-style lagers and pilsners, and are brewed in kegs rather than casks, as is the case with traditional British real ale. And it is not cheap either. Save the Ales charges an eye-watering $2.80 per glass, a sum way

UK: Heineken in advanced talks to buy British pub company Punch Taverns
|
Heineken is in advanced talks to buy Punch Taverns, Punch said on December 14, but the Dutch brewer faces competition from a higher rival bid from a fund backed by one of the British pub company's founders, Reuters reported.
Shares in Punch, Britain's second-biggest pub operator, jumped as much as 39 percent on Wednesday, December 14 after it said it had received a "proposal" from Patron Capital Advisers, working with Heineken, about a possible cash offer of 174 pence per share, and "an approach" from Emerald Investment Partners about a possible cash offer at 185 pence per share.
Punch said it was in "advanced discussions" with Patron and Heineken and in "discussions" with Emerald. Officials for Patron and Heineken declined to comment.
Emerald confirmed that it had made a proposal about a possible 185 pence per share offer and said it currently held 2.2 percent of Punch's shares.
Emerald's founder, Alan McIntosh, is the former Punch finance director who helped to build up the company through a series of acquisitions alongside entrepreneur Hugh Osmond.
Heineken's offer values Punch's equity at about 386 million pounds ($488.95 million) while Emerald's offer would equate to a 410 million pound valuation, according to Reuters calculations.
Punch said that both proposals

South Africa: AB InBev’s first year on Johannesburg stock exchange about to end well down on its debut price
|
Anheuser-Busch InBev is in line to end its first year on the Johannesburg stock exchange well down on its debut price, according to a report.
The company, which listed on South Africa's main bourse on 15 January ahead of its US$103 bln takeover of SABMiller, is down about 27% in the year so far, South Africa's Business Day said on December 15. Accounting for currency fluctuations, which have hampered trading in South Africa this year, the AB InBev stock is down 15% in dollar terms.
AB InBev has been hit by weakness in a number of markets this year including Brazil, where a third-quarter volumes drop dragged down the nine-month performance. Analysts have also highlighted a stalled US as well as pressure in China and Mexico.
The SABMiller takeover was targeted at expanding AB InBev's presence in Africa. The Budweiser owner's listing on the Johannesburg stock exchange was partly to show the brewer's commitment to the market and to appease South African anti-trust regulators.
At the time, CEO Carlos Brito said the listing "will provide us with access to the South African investor base and broaden participation in AB InBev's strong prospects for future growth".

USA: Federal government approves AB InBev’s acquisition of Texas-based Karbach Brewing Company
|
The federal government has approved Anheuser-Busch InBev’s acquisition of Texas-based Karbach Brewing Company, Brewbound reported on December 12.
“We have received federal antitrust approval to close our transaction with Karbach Brewing Co., which we anticipate will occur in the next several weeks,” Adam Warrington, senior director of communications for AB InBev’s The High End division, said in a note to reporters.
The global beer titan announced the purchase of Karbach, the fastest-growing craft brewery in the Lone Star State, on Nov. 3. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, and there was some question as to how the U.S. Department of Justice would react to AB InBev acquiring another brewery after the government agency vowed to “carefully scrutinize any future craft acquisitions” in the wake of an investigation into the purchase of Devils Backbone.
Earlier this year, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Juan Arteaga said the division would “consider whether these transactions, either singularly or collectively, are likely to harm competition by, among other things, giving AB InBev the ability to prevent its craft rivals from effectively getting their products to the market.”
In a conversation with Brewbound, High End president Felipe Szpigel said he anticipated receiving approval of the transaction in late 2016 or
