Scientific Digest
COMPLEXITY OF BEER BITTERNESS
ABSTRACT
A UK research team developed a sensory bitterness
lexicon to describe many types of differently hopped
beers. With sensory PCA analysis, they concluded
that beers low in hop bitter acids and polyphenols were
described as having artificial, rounded, and diminishing
bitterness. Conventionally hopped beers high in hop
acids, e.g. alpha-acids, were rated as having a sharp and
instant bitterness. While beers bittered with a blend
of tetra and pre-isomerised iso-alpha-acid products were
shown to have a smooth and diminishing bitterness. The
bitterness of dry-hopped beers high in hop bitter acids
and polyphenols was perceived as harsh and progressive.

USA: Overall beer market expected to decline 0.7% this year
|
Millennials aren't drinking enough beer to keep brands afloat in the United States, the Business Insider reported on July 24.
According to CNBC, Goldman Sachs downgraded both Boston Beer Company and Constellation Brand on the data that younger consumers aren't drinking as much alcohol as older generations, and the ones that do prefer wine and spirits.
"We view the shift in penetration and consumption trends as driven by a shift in preferences in the younger cohorts," Goldman Sachs Chief Analyst Freda Zhuo wrote.
Beer penetration fell 1% from 2016 to 2017 in the US market, while both wine and spirits stood unmoved, according to Nielsen ratings.
Goldman Sachs now expects the overall beer market in the US to decline 0.7% in 2017. It downgraded Boston Beer Company from neutral to sell and Constellation Brands from buy to neutral.

Brazil: Heineken to end distribution of products with Coca-Cola bottlers, use Kirin Brazil’s distribution routes for its products
|
Mexico's Coca-Cola Femsa, the world's largest Coke bottler, said on July 24 it is poised to lose a key distribution contract in Brazil, sending its shares down 5 percent, even as it reported an 11.5 percent jump in quarterly net profit, Reuters reported.
Coke Femsa said Dutch brewer Heineken, which holds a stake in its parent company Femsa, had told the company it would end its distribution of products with bottlers of the Coca-Cola system in Brazil from Oct. 31.
Shares in Coke Femsa slumped 5.25 percent to 151.71 pesos as of 1 p.m. local time, and were the biggest drag on Mexico's benchmark stock index.
It was not clear exactly when the distribution contract with Heineken will end, said Hector Trevino, chief financial officer at Coca-Cola Femsa.
Heineken maintains the contract can be terminated with six months' notice, but Coke Femsa disagrees, Trevino said.
"We firmly believe that the contract terminates in 2022," he said.
Heineken acquired the Brazilian breweries of Japan's Kirin Holdings Co Ltd earlier this year. The Dutch company will use Kirin Brazil's distribution routes to bring Heineken products to market in the region going forward, Heineken spokesman John-Paul Schuirink said in a statement.
"As Heineken, Femsa and the Brazilian Coca-Cola bottlers are

Nigeria: Guinness Nigeria starts receiving subscriptions for its 39.7 bln naira share sale
|
Guinness Nigeria has started receiving subscriptions for its 39.70 billion naira ($126 mln) share sale to existing shareholders, which will end in five weeks' time, Reuters reporting citing company officials on July 24.
The beer maker, the local unit of the world's leading spirit maker Diageo, said in a statement shareholders can buy five new shares from the company for every 11 held, at 58 naira each, before the offer closes on August 30.
The company, which is 54 percent owned by Diageo, reported its first annual loss in 30 years in September last year, triggering the rights issue.
Its British-based parent has said it was willing to take up its rights in the share issue to maintain its shareholding.
Guinness Nigeria shares, which have fallen 20.4 percent so far this year, traded flat on July 24 at 65.10 naira on the Lagos bourse, a 12 percent premium to the rights price.
The stock fell 31 percent last year.
Investors who do not currently hold Guinness shares but want to participate in the offer can do so by buying the rights of an existing shareholders who is unable to subscribe to the offer through the stock market, it said.

USA: Heineken’s Lagunitas acquires 20% stake in Michigan’s Short’s Brewing Co.
|
Short's Brewing Co., which until last year used the slogan "Michigan only, Michigan forever," announced on July 26 that it sold a 19.99% stake to California-based Lagunitas Brewing Co., the Detroit Free Press reported.
But since Lagunitas was recently bought out by Heineken, that chunk of the celebrated Michigan brewery is actually in the hands of big beer.
Short's, which is based in Bellaire and Elk Rapids – and known for such beers as fruit ale Soft Parade and IPA Huma Lupa Licious – last year expanded distribution beyond Michigan to several nearby states.
Short's founder, Joe Short, said in the news release on July 26 that he's found success surrounding himself with "the best people," and that the Lagunitas deal is one of many strategic decisions to ensure the brewery's continued success.
"This partnership with Lagunitas is just another part of evolution in the cycle of our dynamic and growing business," he said in the news release, which doesn't mention Heineken.
The partnership comes as many other craft breweries, such as Lagunitas, have been purchased by large, mass-production brewing companies. Short's deal with Heineken is only for a minority stake, so in the eyes of its peers in the national Brewers

Australia: BrewDog exploring possible locations for its first brewery in Australia
|
BrewDog has set its sights on establishing a brewing facility in Australia, insider.co.uk reported on July 25.
The Ellon, UK-based brewer, which sold a 22 per cent stake in the business for £213 mln to US-based private equity group TSG Consumer Partners in April, has appointed in-house staffer Zarah Prior to lead its Australian business.
Prior, an Australian, was previously ‘Head of People’ at BrewDog's Ellon headquarters.
BrewDog said it is currently exploring “possible locations” for a new brewery facility in Australia, with initial searches focused on the Brisbane and Newcastle areas.
The brewer said it is “open” to re-developing an existing industrial site with a 2,000 to 4,000 square meter (21,500 sq ft – 43,000 sq ft) built-up facility or for land capable of housing a new-build facility “of that size with expansion capabilities in the future”.
Commenting on the plans for Australia, Prior said: “Our Australian Equity Punk community has been crying out for BrewDog to set up shop closer to home, so we are excited to finally be making that happen.
“We’ve thrived on the loyalty that our shareholders and peers have shown over the past 10 years, and we can’t wait to deliver brewery-fresh beers to our Equity Punks and BrewDog fans

South Korea: Domestic beer sales surpass those of imported beers in July
|
South Korean breweries have been on a roll as of late, surpassing sales of imported beers after steady growth over the past three months, according to one of the biggest supermarket chains in the country, The Korea Bizwire reports.
HomePlus said on July 24 sales of domestically brewed beers accounted for over 50 percent of all beer sales, with the supermarket giant’s original products Haeundae, Gangseo, and Dalseo beer experiencing a drastic surge in sales in recent weeks.
During the first three weeks of July, sales of Gangseo Beer and Dalseo Beer increased by 20.1 and 27.3 percent, respectively, compared to the previous month, with HomePlus planning to sell local offerings from small and medium sized brewers around the country during the summer.
“Considering the sales of popular beers including Cass, Hite and Kloud rose less than 10 percent, it’s true that the three locally brewed beers helped boost total beer sales,” a HomePlus official explained.
Earlier this week, retail giant Lotte Mart reported increased sales of locally sourced vegetable products, signaling a new preference among South Korean consumers for locally sourced food and beverage products.
