Scientific Digest
THE TRUE BITTERNESS OF HUMULINONES
ABSTRACT
A couple of recent studies revealed that the increased
bitterness in dry hopped beers is greatly influenced by
the formation of humulinones (oxidized hop alpha-acids). Using previously established synthesis methods and
preparative liquid chromatography, high-purity extracts
of humulinones and hulupones were prepared for
sensory testing. A trained flavour descriptive panel
found humulinones to be 66% as bitter as iso-alpha-acids,
and hulupones to be 84% as bitter as iso-alpha-acids.
This study also found that the bitterness intensity of
humulinones and hulupones are substantially higher
than previous estimates of 35% and 50%, respectively.
Whereas iso-alpha-acids were confirmed to be more bitter
than oxidized alpha-acids and beta-acids, both hulupones and
humulinones were bitter enough to potentially have
a significant impact in beer, especially in dry hopped
beers. The threshold value of humulinones was found
to be around 8 mg/L in unhopped beer.

USA: AB InBev purchases North Carolina’s Wicked Weed Brewing
|
Anheuser-Busch InBev is making its first U.S. craft brewery purchase of 2017, announcing on May 3 the acquisition of North Carolina’s Wicked Weed Brewing, Brewbound reported.
Specific financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed and the deal is subject to regulatory approval. Recall that last year, the U.S. Department of Justice promised to “carefully scrutinize any future craft acquisitions” by AB InBev.
“We have chosen to partner with The High End to position ourselves to make Wicked Weed what we imagined it could be when we first sat at a craft beer bar and talked about opening a brewery,” co-founder Walt Dickinson said via a press release. “As a brewer, giving our team more resources to continue innovating our portfolio and the ability to reach more craft drinkers, allows us to keep putting the beer and the people first.”
Wicked Weed, based in the popular craft beer-soaked mecca of Asheville, North Carolina, is the 10th U.S. craft brewery to sell to Anheuser-Busch InBev since 2011. It joins Goose Island (Chicago), Blue Point Brewing (New York), 10 Barrel Brewing (Oregon), Elysian Brewing (Seattle), Golden Road (Los Angeles), Breckenridge Brewery (Colorado), Four Peaks Brewing (Arizona), Devils Backbone (Virginia) and Karbach Brewing (Texas), in A-B’s

USA: Per capita beer consumption decline would have been more if it weren’t for craft beer – Jim Koch
|
Per capita beer consumption in the US has declined 25% since 2000 and “it would’ve been significantly more than that if it weren’t for craft beer,” Boston Beer Company founder, Jim Koch, said at the Beverage Forum in Chicago last week, BeverageDaily.com reported on May 2.
Volume loss comes from the declining consumption of mass domestic beer, Koch said, but the relationship between big beer and independent craft beer is somewhat symbiotic.
“They (large domestic beer companies) create the customers that we can trade up to more flavorful, craft beer,” Koch said.
“We’d all be better off if we could see some success with mass domestic brands and they could get their mojo back.”
Large domestic beer companies need to figure out a way to regain cultural relevance and this should not come by way of acquiring small craft brewers, Koch explained.
“If you’ve got a 50% market [share], you’re not supposed to buy up the other 50% of what you don’t own. You’re supposed to grow by innovating,” he said.
Koch has spoken against continued consolidation in the US beer industry: most recently with the US Department of Justice approving AB InBev's takeover of SABMiller, 'creating a new duopoly' between AB InBev and Molson Coors.

USA: Constellation Brands prices offering of $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes
|
Constellation Brands, Inc., a leading beverage alcohol company, announced on May 3 that it priced the public offering of $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes, consisting of (i) $500.0 million of 2.70% Senior Notes due 2022 (the "2022 notes") for a public offering price of 99.782% of the principal amount of the 2022 notes; (ii) $500.0 million of 3.50% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 notes") for a public offering price of 99.766% of the principal amount of the 2027 notes; and (iii) $500.0 million of 4.50% Senior Notes due 2047 (the "2047 notes") for a public offering price of 99.559% of the principal amount of the 2047 notes (collectively, the "notes").
The notes will be senior obligations that rank equally with all of Constellation's other senior unsecured indebtedness, and will be guaranteed by the subsidiaries of Constellation that are guarantors under Constellation's senior credit facility.
Closing of the offering is expected to occur on May 9, 2017. Constellation intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay all of its outstanding 7.250% Senior Notes due May 2017 in the aggregate principal amount of $700 million and to repay a portion of the

Ireland: Guinness removes isinglass from filtration process
|
Guinness has removed fish guts from its filtration process after announcing the move in 2015, The Irish Sun reported on May 1.
For over 200 years, the stout was filtered using isinglass, a protein which comes from dried fish bladders.
The change to the brewing process means that vegans can now enjoy a pint of the black stuff, guilt free.
Guinness shared the following statement with PETA, who praised that news:
“The first stage of the roll out of the new filtration system concentrated on Guinness Draught in kegs.
“The brewery is delighted to confirm that this phase of the project is complete and all Guinness Draught produced in keg format at St. James’s Gate Brewery and served in pubs, bars and restaurants around the world, is brewed without using isinglass to filter the beer.”
