Scientific Digest
CO2 EXTRACT FOR BETTER
FLAVOUR STABILITY
ABSTRACT
A German research group is looking into beneficial
compenents in hops to improve flavour stability. In
their latest publication, they summarize their trails
using CO2 extract in context with reducing the iron
content in beer. In comparison to dosing the extract
at the beginning of boil they tried different versions of
dividing the hop dosing throughout the boil. With
this they were able to reduce the iron content by
about 30%, resulting in improved flavour stability
not only based on analytical values but also on
sensory evaluation.

Asia: Kirin Holdings to export its ‘craft’ beers around Asia
|
Kirin Holdings Co. plans to export its premium “craft” beers around Asia, starting with Taiwan in mid-May, and have regional demand account for 10 percent of overall sales of the series this fiscal year, Asahi Shimbun reported on April 11.
The beverage giant, citing the products’ high reputation among foreign visitors to Japan, intends to further tap into the overseas market with three products that are part of Grand Kirin series launched in 2012.
One of the beers, Japan Pale Lager (JPL), which went on sale in Japan in March this year, boasts a gorgeous flavor through the use of domestically produced malt and hops, Kirin said.
The JPL’s bottle is covered with cherry blossom designs to give it a Japanese appearance.
A 330-milliliter bottle of JPL will be priced at about 320 yen ($2.90) in Taiwan, twice the cost of Kirin’s mainstay Ichiban Shibori draft beer that is already available on the island.
Despite the higher price, Kirin expects to expand its market around Asia, where rich people, younger customers and others have shifted to alcoholic beverages that boast distinctive tastes and consist of well-selected ingredients.
Kirin plans to start exporting the beers to South Korea and China by around summer. Southeast Asian countries, such

USA: Boston Beer’s Jim Koch laments the effect of acquisitions by big brewers on the craft beer industry
|
A beer battle is brewing between Sam Adams and Miller Lite, Fortune reported on April 10.
The companies that make those beers, Boston Beer and Molson Coors respectively, have found themselves in a war of words after The New York Times published an op-ed by Boston Beer founder Jim Koch in which the brewer lamented the effect Big Beer mergers have had on the craft beer industry. According to Koch, mergers and acquisitions led by Molson Coors' subsidiary MillerCoors and Anheuser-Busch InBev have led to $2 billion in higher prices annually, thousands of lost jobs, and a more restrictive wholesaler channel that favors Big Beer over craft upstarts.
"I worry that yet another major shift in the beer landscape is upon us — and this time, American consumers will be the losers," writes Koch in a Times op-ed entitled "Is It Last Call For Craft Beer?" That piece comes shortly after the trade organization Brewers Association—which advocates for the craft industry—reported 2016's volume increased a fairly modest 6%, partly due to Big Beer binging on craft rivals at a rapid pace. When large-scale beer concerns buy craft brewers like Ballast Point and Lagunitas, sales of their ales are no longer deemed "craft"—though

Japan: Sapporo demands return of tax paid for Goku Zero Drink
|
Sapporo Breweries on April 11 filed a lawsuit with the Tokyo District Court demanding the Japanese government return 11.5 billion yen ($104 million) in liquor tax that the brewery paid for its Goku Zero drink, the Nikkei Asian Review reported.
The Japanese brewery introduced the canned, quasi-beer alcoholic drink in 2013 as a "third beer," which is subject to a lower tax rate than regular beer.
The company's standoff with the government began when the National Tax Agency subsequently claimed that the product is "happoshu," another legal definition for quasi beers. This type of beverage is subject to a higher tax rate than third beer but lower than regular beer.
After the agency notified Sapporo of its views, the brewery conceded and suspended shipment of Goku Zero, which was introduced as the first beer of its type that does not contain carbohydrates or purines. It then paid back taxes on the drinks that had already been sold.
The unexpected tax payment forced Sapporo Holdings, Sapporo Breweries parent company, to book an extraordinary loss for the year ended December 2014.
Sapporo Breweries subsequently restarted selling Goku Zero in 2014 after changing its manufacturing method.

UK & Ireland: Diageo to ‘manage through’ Brexit without disruptions of Guinness supplies
|
Drinks giant Diageo has moved to dismiss suggestions it could close its east Belfast Guinness packaging facility if a hard border is introduced post Brexit, The Irish News reported.
Just last month Diageo Ireland's country manager Oliver Loomes argued that a hard border would be “very unwelcome”, but said it would hit suppliers more than the business itself.
He warned small businesses and farms that supply Diageo with milk and barley for its liqueur and beer would face “enormous disruption” and very significant additional costs that could cost jobs.
Diageo has operations north and south of the border and has more reason than most to fear a return to custom posts.
The company, which owns Guinness and Baileys, makes 18,000 border crossings a year and there are fears a hard border could lead to delays and additional cost to its operations in Ireland.
Roughly 13,000 crossings are made transporting Guinness between the St James Gate brewery in Dublin and the east Belfast packaging facility on the Marshalls Road and then to Dublin for worldwide shipping. A similar process is also carried out with Baileys at Diageo's production facility in Mallusk.
Seamus Leheny from the Freight Transport Association (FTA) said a hard border would spell bad news

UK: BrewDog sells 22% stake to private equity house
|
Early investors in “punk” beer firm BrewDog will be able to bank a hefty profit this week. An injection of cash from a private equity house valued the company at £1 bln, 10 years after it began life in its co-founder’s mother’s garage, The Guardian reported on April 9.
San Francisco-based TSG Consumer Partners agreed to buy 22% of BrewDog, whose idiosyncratic beers and international network of bars have won it a cult following, in a deal worth £213 mln.
Some £100 mln will be invested in the business while TSG, which also owns US brewer Pabst, also spent £113 mln buying shares from existing investors, according to the Sunday Times.
Founders James Watt and Martin Dickie are understood to have made £100 mln between them as a result of the deal, a decade after they used a £20,000 bank loan to start brewing in Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire.
BrewDog’s army of nearly 50,000 “Equity Punks”, its name for investors in four previous rounds of crowdfunding, will be able to sell up to 15% of their shares from this week, the company said.
Watt told investors that they stand make a return of 2,800% if they were among those who bought in at the first opportunity in

India: Carlsberg India launching Tuborg Classic
|
Carlsberg India is launching a new version of its Tuborg beer - Tuborg Classic - to further strengthen its strong beer portfolio to compete with rivals United Breweries (UB) and SABMiller, ETRetail.com reported.
Presently launched in Maharashtra, Tuborg Classic will be available in select markets over the next few months.
“Today, consumers appreciate the distinctive quality and taste of premium beers,” said Michael Jensen, managing director of Carlsberg, the third largest player in India. “Keeping in line with the trends, we have launched Tuborg Classic, a brew made with Scotch Malts offering a stronger and smoother taste,” he added.
In beer, UB dominates with 52% market share but Carlsberg has gained the most with 15% share in the last five years giving stiff competition to SABMiller which is at 20%.
“With Tuborg Classic, we aim to further strengthen our commitment to the Indian market and expand our portfolio,” said Mahesh Kanchan, director marketing, Carlsberg.
According to a recent report by Ambit Capital, SABMiller has been losing market share to Carlsberg, which has followed an aggressive on-premise marketing of Tuborg and Carlsberg brands in larger cities through price promotions and branding exercises.

Ethiopia: Guinness Beer introduced to Ethiopia’s market
|
Guinness Beer, the internationally known stout beer and product of Diageo, has been introduced to Ethiopia’s market at Sheraton Addis on Friday, April 7, 2017, 2merkato reported.
Currently Ethiopia’s total beer consumption stands at 12 million hectolitres of beer per year. This made the Horn of Africa nation a desirable place for multinational companies to invest heavily in the beer industry of Ethiopia.
Diageo entered the Ethiopian market after acquiring Meta Abo Brewery in 2012 through privatization for 225 million USD.
The beer is scheduled to be launched in Addis Ababa on April 14 and expected to reach retailers throughout Ethiopia. The price is also expected to be higher than other local beers, including Heineken which is retailed at 15 Birr.

Angola: Castel to grow maize in Angola for beer production
|
The French group Castel plans to sign in the short term a contract with the Capanda Agro-Industrial Pole Development Company (Sodepac) regarding the concession of a 4,500 hectare property to produce maize, the managing director of Companhia União de Cervejas de Angola (CUCA) stated.
That company was founded on 26 April 1952 and nationalised in May 1976 after Angola’s independence. It was later sold to the French group during the process of privatising public enterprises.
Managing director Pilippe Frederic also said, as reported by the newspaper Jornal de Angola that the maize will be planted on the land on a concession basis and be used to produce beer. The group is one of the major beer produces in both Angola and Africa.
At the end of an audience with the provincial governor Malanje, Norberto dos Santos, Frederic explained that the expected harvest will be 24,000 tons of maize per year.
The Castel group is a family business founded in Bordeaux in 1949 by nine brothers and sisters. It initially focused on the production and worldwide marketing of French wines.
With the acquisition of Brasseries et Glacières Internationales (BGI) in 1990, the group expanded its activity to the beer and beverage business in Francophone Africa and

World: China’s Kweichow Moutai overcomes Diageo and becomes world’s most valuable liquor company
|
Chinese alcohol brand Kweichow Moutai, best known for brewing the fiery grain-based drink baijiu, has overtaken Johnnie Walker-brand owner Diageo Plc. to become the world’s most valuable liquor-company, The Financial Times reported on April 10.
Moutai’s market capitalisation reached $71.5 bln on the Shanghai exchange on April 7, while Diageo’s London capitialistion is $71.1 bln. The Chinese company’s share price has soared in the past year as it has seen rising sales from Chinese consumers upgrading to premium brands, and as a culture of business banqueting and gifting has recovered after a fierce crackdown on lavish spending in officialdom.
Baijiu has few fans outside China, and about 95 per cent of Moutai’s sales are from the domestic market. But total baijiu sales values have surged ahead and now account for 37.5% of total global spirits values, according to the Brand Finance’s most recent Spirits 50 report.
Meanwhile, whisky’s value share of the global spirits market shrank from 37 per cent to 28 per cent. More than 90 per cent of Diageo’s revenue was from North America and Europe in the fiscal year to June. Moutai has been able to increase prices, with the retail cost of its Feitian-label rising RMB100 each month for
