Scientific Digest


MORE HOPS - MORE ONION?

ABSTRACT
Hops bring a lot of wonderful flavours into beer but possibly also some nasty ones. A group of Japanese researchers looked into the formation of 2-mercapto-3-methyl-1-butanol (2M3MB) during wort boiling and cooling. These compounds give an onionlike flavor recognizable at levels as low as 0.4ppb. The researchers were able to identify the relevant precursor component, 2,3-expoxy-3-methylbutanal (EMB) and propose it's derived from iso-alpha acids involving oxygen. The transformation into 2M3MB requires H2S and a yet undefined action of the yeast. Though they have gained a good understanding of the concentrations of the precursor during boiling and cooling, further work is required to determine effective measurments that can prevent the formation of 2M3MB.

BreweryBrewery News Brewery


Brewery news Australia: Craft beer industry slowly swallowed by large corporations
Australians may be drinking beer at 65-year lows, but one segment is bucking the trend — craft beer.

According to a recent report, Australian craft breweries generate almost A$500 million in yearly revenue, and this is growing at 10 per cent per year, ABC reported on October 18.

But while drinkers may imagine their craft beer is being brewed by a small operation, the reality is the industry is being swallowed by large corporations.

There are a number of reasons for this. Large corporations obviously want access to a lucrative and growing market, but craft brewers also need access to capital, better distribution deals and marketing expertise.

Despite there being almost 400 craft brewers in Australia, global giants Lion and AB InBev control more than 50 per cent of the market.

It's not just market share, though. Large corporations own many of our most prominent craft beer brands, such as Little Creatures, James Squires, and White Rabbit (Lion), as well as Matilda Bay Brewing, Wild Yak, and Goose Island (AB InBev).

Even soft drink manufacturers like Coca-Cola Amatil have moved into the market, snapping up brands like Blue Moon and Yenda. Last week, Coca-Cola purchased the iconic Feral Brewing.

The nation’s major supermarkets are also getting in ...More info on site


Brewery news Zimbabwe: Delta Beverage warns suppliers against temptation to hike prices
Delta Beverages has warned its suppliers to carefully manage their value chain and desist from the temptation to hike prices, local newspaper Bulawayo reported on October 17.

In a memo sent out by the company's Supply Chain director Cynthia Malaba dated October 16, 2017, a copy of which Bulawayo’s Harare Bureau is in possession of, the beverages maker notes that it has been inundated by appeals from its suppliers who are seeking to hike prices due to the increasing cost of foreign currency.

But the group has flatly turned down the proposals, which would have seen them passing the price hikes to consumers, rather saying the suppliers should manage their value chain or opt out of supplying the group if they can't continue with current rates.

"Recently, a number of suppliers have approached us with proposed increases motivated by difficulties in sourcing foreign currency," wrote Mrs Malaba.

"We would like to advise our valued suppliers as follows: We are unable to take selling price increases on our beverage portfolio. Instead we are continually searching for ways to improve our value chain to make our products more affordable to our customers.

"We urge business partners to carefully manage their value chains with particular focus on competitiveness ...More info on site


Brewery news Spain: Cervezas San Miguel moves registered headquarters from Barcelona to Malaga
Cervezas San Miguel S.L.U., one of the firms that belong to the Mahou San Miguel beer group, has decided to move its registered headquarters from Barcelona to Malaga, where it has had a brewery since 1966, SurInEnglish.com reported on October 9.

The decision has been explained by the firm's "commitment to guarantee maximum legal security for the company and its professionals", sources said last week.

San Miguel wasn’t the first firm to announce its departure from Catalonia due to the uncertainty created by the regional government's drive towards a unilateral declaration of independence.

The first was Banco Sabadell on October 5, which was followed by Caixabank, Gas Natural and several others.


Brewery news USA: Craft brewers launch crowdsourcing campaign to buy Anheuser-Busch InBev
The Brewers Association (BA), the not-for-profit organization that represents America’s small and independent brewers, has announced the craft brewing community’s intent to Take Craft Back from Big Beer. The #TakeCraftBack campaign—launched at TakeCraftBack.com—seeks to crowdsource the funds to buy Anheuser-Busch InBev, the international conglomerate that has been busy acquiring small breweries across the country. Over the past several years, Big Beer has been attempting to buy their way into the craft beer movement by acquiring small breweries at a rapid rate and using their acquisitions to invent craft brewing bona-fides, the Association said. The Take Craft Back campaign features a not-yet-superstar, Andy—an avowed lover of craft beer—who has stated that his affinity for craft beer makes him highly qualified to serve as a campaign spokesperson. “Since 2011, Anheuser-Busch InBev has quietly acquired 10 small and independent breweries, but they won’t tell you that on their packaging,” said Andy. “Just try to name all 10 without Googling…exactly. Big Beer creates an ‘illusion of choice,’ but we are presenting them with a reality check—and hopefully, at the end of the day, with a real check too. “Independent craft brewers refuse to be muscled out by Big Beer,” Andy continued, “And we ...More info on site


Brewery news Myanmar: HEINEKEN launches new Tiger Crystal light lager
HEINEKEN Myanmar has officially introduced a new beer in Myanmar for beer drinkers in search of new tastes and experiences. Tiger Crystal, a light lager, is a new variant of Tiger Beer, one of the country’s most-loved beers, according to company press release.

“At HEINEKEN Myanmar, we strive to bring more international choices and experiences to our consumers who are keen to explore new tastes.

BarleyBarley News Barley


Barley news Canada: Barley acreage to decrease by 10% in 2017-18
For 2017-18, Canada’s barley-seeded area is forecast to decrease by 10% from 2016-17 to a record low of 2.3 million hectares, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada said in its October report.

Production is forecast to decrease 17% to 7.3 mln tonnes or record lows due to the lower area and a below average total yield. Although carry-in stocks are at a seven-year high, the lower production will cause total supply to decrease by 7% to 9.5 mln tonnes. Total domestic use is forecast to increase by 3% due to higher feed and industrial use. Total barley exports are forecast to decrease by 7% to 2.15 mln tonnes because of lower world barley trade due to high corn and wheat supplies. Barley carry-out stocks are forecast to decrease by 36% to 1.4 mln tonnes, falling below the previous five and ten year averages. The Lethbridge In-store feed barley price is forecast to increase due to the tighter total barley supplies, a higher US corn futures price and the decline in other feed grains supplies.

The average Canadian barley yield is estimated to be slightly below the previous five-year average. The updated yield estimate increased total barley production by about 100,000 tonnes. Lethbridge barley ...More info on site

Barley news Zimbabwe: Delta Corporation looking for alternative raw materials markets
Beverage maker Delta Corporation is scouting for alternative markets to source cheaper brewing grain, as the bulk of farmers who traditionally produce for the company under a contract arrangement are shifting to Command Agriculture, which is offering a higher price, the Zimbabwe Independent reported on October 17.

This summer cropping season, government plans to spread a capital outlay of about US$334 million to support production of key crops such as maize, sorghum, and soya beans under Command Agriculture.

An attractive maize producer price being offered to farmers under Command Agriculture by the Grain Marketing Board (GMB), currently pegged at US$370 per tonne, has attracted producers previously enlisted by the brewer.

In an email sent to businessdigest, the brewer said it would not be able to offer a producer price to compete with the US$370 per tonne price offered to farmers under the government programme.

“The major challenge in the contracting arrangement for brewing cereals is the new framework under Command Agriculture that guarantees very high producer prices to farmers,” the beverage manufacturer said.

“The Company is unlikely to attract enough farmers into its schemes, as most of them have moved over to the Command scheme.

The business is unable to match the high producer prices, as ...More info on site
