Scientific Digest
LATER HARVEST DATE =
MORE INTENSE DRY HOP AROMA?
ABSTRACT
Previous studies have shown that harvest date can
have a significant impact on the flavour profile of
beer depending on hop variety. To further illustrate
the effect, this study evaluated the variety Mandarina
Bavaria. A group of German researchers produced dry
hopped beers with Mandarina Bavaria hops harvested
at different dates within a 4 week period. Although
it was shown that some of the known important hop
aromatic compounds in dry hopped beers (especially
myrcene) changed in concentration when using hops with different harvest dates, with other compounds (especially linalool) the result of sensory data
showed that the harvest date of Mandarina Bavaria
is not important for final top-fermented beer aroma.
It is unclear which aroma components are the key
components of Mandarina Bavaria.

sensory evaluation of dry-hopped top-fermented beer

Greece: Greek brewery sues Heineken for abusing position of power in Greece
|
Greek brewery Macedonian Thrace Brewery is claiming 100 million euros from Heineken in a lawsuit filed with the court in Amsterdam. According to the Greek brewery, the Dutch beer giant abused its position of power in Greece, NU.nl reported on February 24.
Officially the lawsuit is filed against Athenian Brewery, Heineken's Greek subsidiary. Macedonian Thrace Brewer claims that Heineken stalled the competition in the Greek beer market for years by making exclusive deals with retailers. The brewer claims that it could not achieve its growth potential due to Heineken's unfair competition.
Macedonian Thrace Brewery wants the court to hold Heineken responsible for disrupting the Greek beer market and order the Dutch company to stop its disruptive competitive practices. And to pay 100 million euros in compensation.
Macedonian Thrace Brewery produces about 200 thousand hectolitres of beer per year. It is a very small player in the market compared to Heineken, which produces about 200 million hectolitres of beer per year.

Ukraine: Carlsberg Ukraine market share increases to 29.9% last year
|
The market share of Carlsberg Ukraine in 2016 amounted to 29.9% by volume, which is 0.3 percentage points higher than in 2015, Interfax Ukraine reported on February 23.
Last year Carlsberg Ukraine managed to significantly increase its sales in major network supermarkets.
The company estimates that in 2016 the beer market in Ukraine decreased by 7% compared to the previous year. There are several reasons for the fall of the market: the unfavourable economic situation in the country, the national currency devaluation, reduced purchasing power of the population, as well as the consequences of fundamental changes in the industry regulation and a sharp increase in excise tax in 2016.
“Our company manages to increase its market share and show economically efficient activities, as well as maintain its place among the largest taxpayers in the country,” Carlsberg Ukraine CEO Yevhen Shevchenko said.

USA: Boston Beer may have outgrown the craft revolution
|
Sam Adams brewer Boston Beer helped propel the beloved craft beer movement when it first opened for business in 1984. It may have outgrown the revolution, the Fortune reported on February 23.
On February 22, Boston Beer reported alcoholic beverage shipments are now almost certainly expected to decline in 2017, following a 6% drop in shipments last year to about 4 million barrels as demand dropped for the core Sam Adams beer brand, Angry Orchard cider and the craftier Traveler and Coney Island Brands. With a little over $900 million in annual net revenue, the brewer only commands about 1% of the total U.S. beer market. But to some, that might be too big to be deemed "craft."
"New craft brewers continue to enter the market and existing craft brewers are expanding their distribution and tap rooms, with the result that drinkers are seeing more choices, including a wave of new beers in all markets," said Chairman and founder Jim Koch.
During a conference call with investors, Koch explained that retailers were cautious when it comes to buying aggressively on new styles after getting recently burned by the "hard" soda trend that quickly fizzled. Then there is the issue of too much variety:

UK: Heineken launches two new beers for “beer-curious” drinkers
|
Heineken has launched two beers under new brand Maltsmiths, Morning Advertiser reported on February 23.
The two beers, a Bavarian-style pilsner and an American-style IPA (both 4.6% ABV), were brewed at the company’s Caledonian brewery but will be released under the Maltsmiths brand across the on-trade on 27 March after being unveiled at the Craft Beer Rising festival in London this week.
Heineken said it wanted to target “beer-curious” drinkers – customers looking for an accessible entrance point into the craft beer market – with the two brews.
It will be available on draught, in cans (330ml) and in bottles (330ml).
Sam Fielding, new beer team director at Heineken UK, said: “It’s not for use to define what is or isn’t craft beer. We have brewed two beautiful beers that will appeal to the more curious drinker.
”Despite brewing the two beers at Caledonian Brewery, Heineken opted not to release them under the already-established Caledonian brand so it could focus on showcasing the company’s younger brewing talent, he added.
“We are confident that if you put this in a pub where you haven’t already listed craft beer – it will perform very strongly,” he said.
“We want to simplify and make this area

UK: AB InBev making second attempt to introduce Bud Light to the UK
|
Bud Light will appeal to young drinkers seeking a lower-alcohol beer with a more contemporary image, according to AB InBev, which is making a second atempt to introduce the US's number one beer brand to the UK, CampaignLive reported on February 24.
Launching in retailers this weekend, and in pubs from March, the brand will supported by a campaign from lead creative agency Wieden & Kennedy London across TV, digital out of home and social media, that aims to announce the arrival of the brand and introduce its personality.
"Bud Light is what we call the younger kid brother of Budweiser, with a bit more of a fun personality," said Andre Amaral, senior brand manager for Bud Light.
"You can expect to see a tone of voice that’s youthful, light hearted, playful, easy going." He confirmed this meant it would shy away from the kind of bold humour and loud personality often employed by Budweiser.
The drink, said Amaral, was targeted at what he called "aspirers": largely 18- to 24-year-olds who are very urban, like premium brands, are interested in travel and are heavy social media users. He said this set the brand apart from most other lower-alcohol lagers – such as Carling and
