Scientific Digest
ASK THE HOPS WHEN THEY WANT TO BE
PUT INTO THE BEER
ABSTRACT
For this study a group of US researchers have chosen two
very different varieties, Simcoe and Hallertau Mittelfrueh,
and brewed beers using the following different hopping
regimes: 60 min boil, 25 min whirlpool, or 48 h dry
hopping. Additionally, the impact of the yeast strains
used on treatment was investigated. Each treatment
was compared with an unhopped control using stir-bar
sorptive extraction GC-MS with a descriptive sensory
analysis. Results indicate that whirlpool additions
produced beers with the highest concentrations of
geraniol, linalool, and beta-citronellol, which is in line with
intense citrus flavours one often achieves with high
whirpool additions. Beers with Simcoe produced more
intense and individually distinct aromas with each
hopping regime compared to the Hallertau Mittelfrueh
hopped beers. Conversely, beers brewed with Hallertau
Mittelfrueh hops showed less intense aromas with less
distinction, except for the dry-hopped treatment, which
was characterized by a more floral type of aroma than
the other Hallertau Mittelfrueh treatments. So find out
which time of addition suits best your favourite variety!

China: Brewers increasingly looking to move away from mass-market bottled beers
|
It is a Tuesday night, yet World of Beer on Shanghai's Fumin Road is packed with a mixed crowd of expatriates and locals. The bar is stocked with craft beers from around the world, and manager Jacques Zhu is busy making recommendations - he has 41 different beers on tap, and around 300 in bottles. Meanwhile, a Filipino band belts out classic rock songs, the Nikkei Asian Review reported on June 3.
World of Beer, based in Tampa, Florida, has 75 locations around the U.S., but the Shanghai branch is its first international franchise. Dezan Shira & Associates, a business intelligence company, estimates that the craft market makes up only 1% of China's total beer market, compared with 20% in the U.S., but still represents $400 million in annual sales.
The attractiveness of the Chinese market to global beer giants was illustrated in March by the takeover of Shanghai's Boxing Cat Brewery by Belgium's Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's biggest brewer, which earlier in the year bought Kaiba, a Shanghai-based bar chain selling Belgian beer.
However, while China is the world's largest market for beer by volume, accounting for a quarter of the total, Deutsche Bank estimates that it accounts for only 3% of

Angola: The Refriango Group to invest €32 mln to triple the production of its Tigra beer brand
|
The Refriango Group has decided to invest €32 mln in order to triple the production capacity for its Angolan beer brand Tigra, the Drinks International reported on June 2.
Refriango launched Tigra in April 2016 and the factory currently produces 60 mln litres of beer a year, but the decision to expand will also create 50 jobs within the company.
A Tigra spokesperson said: “Tigra is a brand that looks to the future with optimism and wants to show that it is possible to offer innovative solutions that continue to surprise, with a high quality product that wins consumer preference, in an estimated market of 800 mln litres.”
Tigra is produced at the Kikuxi factory, in the outskirts of Luanda, Angola which cost $50 mln to build. In its first year, Tigra beer has invested $10 mln in marketing across all platforms.
Refriango says Tigra is a soft, ‘easy-drinking Pilsner beer’ with 5% ABV and is triple filtered.

Cambodia: Cambodia’s Kingdom Breweries now contract-brewing for a dozen companies in Southeast Asia
|
As the craft beer craze sweeps from West to East amid intensifying demand for diverse, flavorful beers, a microbrewery in Phnom Penh is positioning itself as one of the leading producers in the region, the Nikkei Asian Review reported on June 5.
Kingdom Breweries, launched in 2010 alongside the Tonle Sap river in the Cambodian capital, has gone from producing own-brand craft beers for the domestic market and Bruntys cider for local brand Asia Pacific Cider to making around 30 beverages for a dozen companies in Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, and the Philippines that lack their own breweries.
In Thailand, where strict rules block independent brewing, beer makers are increasingly looking to contract brewers to cope with expanding demand and to legitimize their operations.
"Going to Kingdom allows us to bring beer and sell it legally," said Mike Roberts, founder of Outlaw Brewing, which launched in 2015 as a brewpub in Thailand's northeastern Loei province and recently contracted Kingdom to produce its American-style India Pale Ale.
"A lot of us are getting busy, so we need to take the steps for volume, and brew at a proper brewery," said Roberts. He currently produces around 1,000 litres a month at his brewpub, but recently contracted

Japan: Government move to protect small liquor shops could further damage Japan’s beer market
|
A move by a group of lawmakers to protect small neighborhood liquor shops could end up further drying out the beer market in Japan, the Nikkei Asian Review reported on June 2.
The revised liquor tax law took effect on June 1, leading to higher beer prices at some major retailers and triggering much grumbling among beer lovers.
One supermarket in Tokyo’s Adachi Ward raised the price of a six-pack of 350-milliliter cans of beer by 150 yen ($1.35).
“The situation facing beer is a very severe one because sales stop suddenly when prices rise even by a few yen,” said the employee in charge of alcoholic beverages at the supermarket.
An 80-year-old woman who buys three six-packs of beer a week said the law might force her to switch to the harder stuff.
“I am searching for the cheapest beer by going to different supermarkets in the neighborhood,” she said. “I may cut back on beer and change to shochu.”
The revised liquor tax law is designed to help small mom-and-pop retailers compete against large supermarkets and discount liquor shops that have attracted customers with lower prices.
The revisions essentially ban sales of beer products at prices that are less than the costs involved in retailing

USA: Molson Coors signs deal to import and distribute Heineken’s Mexican Sol beer
|
Molson Coors has tapped Heineken to ensure the Big Beer producer behind Miller Lite and Coors Light can participate in swelling American interest for Mexican-produced ales.
On June 5, Molson Coors announced that it signed a 10-year import deal to allow it to import, market and distribute the Mexican-made Sol brand to the U.S. market beginning this fall. Sol, which is a brand that was established in 1899, is a pale lager with an ABV of 4.5% that has been part of Dutch brewer Heineken's U.S. portfolio since 2004. Heineken has owned the brand outright since 2010, when it paid $7.6 billion to buy a handful of Mexican beer assets including Dos Equis and Tecate.
"Given the steady growth of the Mexican import segment in the US over the past few years, the addition of Sol represents a key addition to our portfolio," Molson Coors CEO and President Mark Hunter said in a statement.
The deal will give Molson Coors access to a strong-performing Mexican beer import business that has benefited both Heineken and Corona and Modelo Especial maker Constellation Brands. Mexican-made beers have been strong sellers in recent years because they are easy to drink, much like many U.S.-made light lagers, but

Germany & UK: Germany’s Radeberger Group entering the UK market
|
Germany’s biggest brewer, the Radeberger Group, is entering the UK market with its best-selling Pilsner, which distributor Copestick Murray said had the potential to be “huge” in the UK market, the Drinks Business reported on June 6.
Radeberger Pilsner was established in 1872 and is brewed by the Frankfurt-based Radeberger Group, Germany’s largest brewery, which has a 14.7% share in the German beer market and reported a total group turnover of around €2 billion in 2016.
The beer brand is one of the top five Pilsners in the German market, but until now has not attempted to enter the competitive UK market, despite building “substantial” sales in the domestic market, the US, Canada, Europe and being in a total of 87 export markets. But its UK distributor Copestick Murray said it was the “perfect time” to launch the brand in the UK, and it was the “natural partner” to take it to the UK market. The German brewery group is owned by the Oetker Group, and is a sister company of Copestick’s parent company Henkell & Co, the Oetker Group’s sparkling wine, wine and spirits division.
“As with wine, people are drinking less but better, so there is a trend of people trading

UK: Carlsberg UK releases this year’s Crafted portfolio and handbook
|
Carlsberg UK has released this year’s Crafted portfolio and handbook featuring a new selection of craft beers including ‘Your beer, here?’ winner, Toast Ale, The Drinks Business reported on June 5.
This year, Carlsberg UK has worked with beer writer Pete Brown to create its craft beer offering and accompanying handbook, Crafted. It boasts 65 beers and ciders, including five new draught beers and 12 new packaged world, craft and speciality beers.
Toast Ale, launched in January 2016 on Channel 4’s Jamie Oliver and Jimmy Doherty’s Friday Night Feast, uses unsold bread from bakeries and sandwich makers to brew beer. The UK’s first ‘bread to beer’ ale, it replaces a third of the barley used in the traditional beer production process with bread, while all profits are given to Feedback, a charity that aims to eradicate food waste. It partners with other brewers including Hackney Brewery, Hambleton Brewery, Wiper & True and St Austell and was recently launched in the USA. Toast Ale was awarded a ‘special commendation’ in last year’s Green Awards, impressing the judges with its striking business concept that highlights the importance of recycling.
‘Your beer, here?’ was launched by Carlsberg UK in February to give craft brewers and importers

Japan & Taiwan: Japan’s largest craft brewer Yo-Ho Brewing enjoys strong sales in Taiwan
|
Fresh off the success of a limited-time partnership with 7-Eleven in Taiwan, Japan's Yo-Ho Brewing plans to make its Yona Yona Ale and other signature beers available in all of the chain's convenience stores on the island. Permanently, the Nikkei Asian Review reported on June 4.
It is also collaborating with a local craft brewer to create a beer just for Taiwan.
Yo-Ho, Japan's largest craft brewer, enjoyed strong sales in Taiwan during last year's trial run. The success prompted the chain to ask Yo-Ho to supply beer to all 5,000 or so of the republic's 7-Elevens year-round. The brewer has decided to acquiesce to this request, perhaps by the end of this year.
Other products in the range include Aooni India pale ale and Suiyoubi no Neko Belgian White.
Masafumi Morita, in charge of brewing at Yo-Ho, explained the brewer's popularity in Taiwan. "In addition to a feeling of trust in made-in-Japan products," he said, "many [Taiwanese] buy our beers for the distinctive packaging."
The company is also developing a special beer with Taihu Brewing, a Taiwanese craft brewer.
One recipe under consideration calls for Japanese hops and yuzu, a Japanese citrus fruit, as well as a native Taiwanese citrus called liu ding.

World: AB InBev secretly buys minority stake in RateBeer
|
Through its so-called “global disruptive growth group” ZX Ventures, Anheuser-Busch InBev has acquired a minority stake in RateBeer, one of the most popular and reputable beer ratings and resource websites in the world, Good Beer Hunting (GBH) reported on June 2.
But the deal isn’t exactly new. In fact, it closed this past October following eight months of talks. It went unannounced, however—to both the public and RateBeer stakeholders—because the two sides wanted to get “points on the board” to prove the value of the partnership without the “disruption” of making it public. On June 2, though, AB InBev confirmed to GBH that it has, in fact, invested in the website.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Speaking with GBH, though, ZX Ventures says that aligning with RateBeer enables it to gather a deeper and “more global” understanding of the beer industry at large.
“It’s really insight,” says Samantha Roth, ZX spokesperson. “It’s insights into consumer trends. It’s a better understanding of the beer consumer, and the beer markets globally. That’s really going to help us kind of keep our finger on the pulse.”
Guilherme Lebelson (AB InBev’s VP of E-Commerce), speaking about the larger goals and mission of ZX,
