DRY HOPPING: MORE OIL = MORE HOPPY?
ABSTRACT
If I would ask you if you think a higher addition of hop
oil equivalent for dry hopping would result in a hoppier
beer, I am sure all of you would be quite confident that
this is correct. However US researchers say perhaps
not. An unhopped beer was dry hopped with 23
individual Cascade hop lots, and the resultant beer was
evaluated with sensory descriptive analysis. The results
demonstrated a negligible role of total oil content (mL/
100 g) as an indicator of hoppiness. In fact, there was
no correlation between total oil content and overall hop
aroma intensity with this study. The Cascade samples had
oil contents ranging from 0.6 up to 2 ml/100g of hops.
I am as surprised as you are, but wouldn't life be boring
without occasional results such as these?

India: Asking Vijay Mallya to step down from United Breweries board was merely following a regulatory order - Heineken
|
United Breweries merely followed a regulatory order in asking chairman Vijay Mallya to step down, Heineken NV, the Indian brewer’s largest shareholder, said in its first comment on the businessman since he got embroiled in a series of cases related to overdue loans, the Economic Times reported.
Heineken, the world’s second-largest brewer, said also there had not been any disruption to its Indian business or management after partner United Breweries sent the notice to Mallya.
About three weeks ago, the Securities and Exchange Board of India banned Mallya from the securities market as well as holding any board or key managerial positions at listed companies. The order also covered some former executives of United Spirits, a company Mallya previously owned and is now controlled by UK’s Diageo. Mallya, according to legal experts, is expected to challenge the Sebi order.
Sebi issued an executive order to Mallya and it was not the will of the shareholders or board of directors, but just a court order that had to be executed, Jean-Francois van Boxmeer, Heineken’s chairman of the executive board, said on an investors call on February 14.
“It’s for Dr Mallya to react on that if he

Malaysia: Heineken Malaysia opts to tighten its belt instead of hiking its beer prices
|
Heineken Malaysia Bhd says it has opted to tighten its belt amid the challenging market condition via various cost management measures and will not increase prices of products any time soon, The Star Online reported on February 16.
Its finance director Teo Hong Keng said any price increase will only be carried out on the basis of commercial consideration, which among others include commodity price hikes on the backdrop of global uncertainties.
“We need to weigh it out first to see if the market can accept a price increase. However, in a soft market such as this, we have resorted to tightening our belts to keep costs down,” said Teo at the sidelines of Heineken’s financial results announcement for the quarter ended Dec 31, 2016.
Heineken last increased price of products in July, 2016 after the implementation of Anti Profiteering Act.
Teo said because the company was part of Heineken N V, it benefitted them as the group purchased raw materials under the global procurement.
Hence it wasn’t too worried about the rising raw material prices.
Despite the subdued economic landscape, Heineken posted a good set of results for its financial quarter ended Dec 31, 2016.
Its net profit was up 15.2% at RM104.68 mln from RM90.84

UK: Carlsberg launches competition for craft brewers
|
Carlsberg UK has launched a competition for craft brewers and importers offering the chance to get their beer listed in its ‘Crafted 2017’ portfolio, the Morning Advertiser reported on February 15.
Brewers can enter the contest, named 'Your beer, here?' by submitting their beers for evaluation by a judging panel including beer writer Pete Brown, Mark Stretton of Fleet Street Communications and members of the Crafted portfolio team.
The winning selection will be showcased in the company’s Crafted portfolio and handbook when it launches in April – making it available to thousands of pubs over the next 12 months.
Carlsberg Crafted marketing manager Adrian Rigby said: “The craft beer category is brilliant, diverse and innovative but, above all, it’s competitive and the route to market can be challenging.
“As a brewer, we are committed to building the craft beer category and community in the on-trade and believe that through this opportunity and the established profile of our award-winning Crafted handbook, we can give and up-and-coming craft stars a hand.”

Canada: Molson Coors Ontario plant workers continue strike
|
Molson Coors plant workers in Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada, have been on strike since January 12, 2017, after a list of concessionary demands were made by the brewer that negatively impacted employee benefits, pensions, and hours, BeverageDaily reported on February 15.
The concessionary demands made by Molson Coors would make “deep cuts” to retirement security and health and welfare benefits and the company “left no room for negotiations,” president of Canadian Union of Brewery and General Workers Local 325), Robert Folk, said in a statement.
With the help and guidance of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU), 320 plant workers have formed a picket line and started a boycott against Molson Coors’ US-produced beers.
As a result of the strike, beer production at the Toronto plant is mostly shut down with Molson Coors being unable to access its products.
“The list of demands just about attacks every part of the collective agreement,” president of OPSEU Warren “Smokey” Thomas, told BeverageDaily.
According to Thomas, OPSEU bargains 754 contracts a year and is able to settle about 99% of those contracts. “The ones that go out on a strike start out with the employer attacking every part of the collective agreement there is,” he said.

UK: Heineken’s deal to acquire pub chain Punch Taverns under antitrust probe
|
Heineken's deal to acquire pub chain Punch Taverns could be under threat as the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) probes the agreement, Sky News reported on February 16.
The CMA has issued an 'invitation to comment' to interested parties as it looks at whether the deal, which will see Heineken take over almost 2,000 pubs in the UK, could result in a "substantial lessening of competition".
Concerns have already been raised about the deal by parts of the licensed industry, and this move by the CMA will allow them to formally submit their reasons for opposing the deal.
Heineken clinched a deal to take over the Punch Taverns company in partnership with private equity firm Patron Capital.
The two firms successfully fought off a counterbid by Punch Taverns' co-founder, Alan McIntosh, by offering to pay 180p-per-share for the company.
It will see Heineken acquire 1,895 UK pubs on top of the 1,100 it already controls, with Patron securing the remaining 1,329.
The CMA said it was "considering whether it is or may be the case that this transaction, if carried into effect, will result in the creation of a relevant merger situation" and, if so, "whether the creation of that situation may be expected to result,

Nigeria: Guinness Nigeria denies Pharma Deko’s debt claims
|
Guinness Nigeria Plc on February 17 said it had responded to a court process at the instance of Pharma Deko Plc which alleged that the company was contractually indebted to Pharma Deko Plc in the sum of N175. 7 million, the Guardian reported.
Corporate Communications Manager, Guinness Nigeria Plc, Mr Sesan Sobowale, said in a statement the amount represented an arbitral award made against the company and in favour of Pharma Deko Plc.
It said that the award suggested that Guinness Nigeria was unable to pay this debt.
“Guinness Nigeria denies that it is indebted to Pharma Deko Plc in the stated amount or any amount at all and its solicitors have filed a robust defence to Pharma Deko’s claims in court.
“The amount claimed by Pharma Deko Plc in the court process is an insignificant amount when compared with the revenue, cashflow and balance sheet of the company and management is very confident of being able to repudiate the claims in court.
“The management of Guinness Nigeria wishes to assure its employees, customers, shareholders and other stakeholders that it is capable of meeting its financial and other obligations to its various stakeholders and that it continues to operate as a going concern,’’ the statement said.
