Scientific Digest
PICK YOUR HOPS BEFORE THE ONION TAKES OVER!
ABSTRACT
Sulfur components in hops have many different faces.
Though we love them for bringing us flavors such as
rhubarb, passion fruit, grapefruit and black currant
flavours, they also surprise us with nasty flavours such
as onion-like, garlic-like or just cheesy. By name, these
are known as S-methyl-thioisobutyrate, S-methyl-thio-2-methylbutyrate, S-methyl-thioisovalerate, S-methylthio-4-methylpentanoate, and S-methyl-thiohexanoate.
One parameter that significantly influences the
formation of these compounds is the harvest time of
the hops. This article shows how the concentration of
the onion/garlic compounds increases during harvest
time for varieties as Cascade, Mandarina Bavaria,
Polaris, Hallertau Blanc and Hüll Melon. Although many
studies have shown that a later harvest brings a more
overall flavourful aroma profile for some varieties, e.g.
Hallertau Mittelfrueh (and I put here my hypothesis
that this includes many varieties that express intense
fruitiness such as Citra, Mosaic, Cascade, etc.), the
harvest date should be chosen carefully.

Flavour Hop Varieties Cascade, Mandarina Bavaria, Hallertau Blanc, Huell Melon and Polaris.

USA: US alcohol consumption estimated to have declined 0.2% last year
|
The IWSR, the leading provider of data and analysis on the global beverage alcohol market, has released initial 2017 category results for the US market as part of its US Beverage Alcohol Review (US BAR) database, Eurasia Review reported on January 10.
After analyzing preliminary 2017 volume, the IWSR says total US beverage alcohol consumption declined for the second consecutive year by -0.2%. This loss is more than double that of 2016, a decrease of 17.6m gallons, or 7.4m nine-liter cases.
Beer volumes continued to slide in 2017 (-0.5%), which weighed down the performance of total beverage alcohol. The growth of spirits (+2.3%) and wine (+1.3%) were unable to make up the difference in volume due to beer’s overwhelming 79% share of total beverage alcohol.
The decrease in total beverage alcohol consumption is directly related to the slow-building trend of moderation or not drinking at all. Signs of health and wellness permeate the industry with increasing frequency. From all-natural ingredients to low-ABV to zero-proof mocktails, consumers are clearly gravitating toward ‘healthier’ drinking experiences.
The bright spots of 2017 were wine and spirits which stole share from beer and increased in volume. The long-term trend of premiumization has continued to spur growth. Premium-and-above offerings currently

USA: Legal marijuana could make 2018 another rough year for MillerCoors' light lagers
|
For years, sales of domestic light beer—once the undisputed king of American booze—have tanked as imbibers turn to craft brews, wine and spirits. Now an even bigger threat looms: the growing reality of legal, readily available and socially condoned marijuana, Crain’s Chicago Business reported on January 5.
Recreational pot took another step forward Jan. 1, when California—the first state to legalize medical marijuana more than two decades ago—began allowing cannabis retail sales. That doesn't bode well for Anheuser-Busch InBev or MillerCoors, which has pledged to revitalize Coors Light and Miller Lite this year and next. One industry expert says the beer industry stands to lose 7.1 percent of its overall sales, or more than $2 billion, as the rest of the country gets on board with legalization.
"There's a ton of overlap in marijuana and domestic beer consumption among younger college males," says Rick Maturo, co-founder of Cannabiz Consumer Group, an Inverness-based research company. "This is the group that drinks beer at a heavier volume and is most likely to cut back if cannabis is legally available."
He says 27 percent of beer drinkers say they've already substituted marijuana for beer or would do so if the drug were legalized in their state.

China: China Resources Beer confirms ‘moderate’ price hike for some of its products in certain regions
|
China Resources Beer (Holdings) Co Ltd said on January 8 it had “moderately” raised prices of some of its products in certain regions, becoming the latest Chinese drinks maker to confirm price increases in response to higher packaging, raw material and labour costs, Reuters reported.
The owner of China’s top beer brand, Snow, said it had adopted various measures, including lean marketing and production as well as product refinement, to absorb the cost pressure. It gave no further details on the price increases.
The company’s shares hit a record high in Hong Kong on January 5 on press reports that brewers, including China Resources and rival Tsingtao Brewery Co Ltd, raised some prices from Jan. 1 citing rising costs of materials, labour, transportation and for environmental protection.
A stronger pricing environment in China is also good news for European alcoholic drinks companies, said Liberum analysts, pointing out that Carlsberg, Anheuser-Busch InBev, Remy Cointreau and Pernod Ricard boast the highest China sales.
Tsingtao Brewery, the maker of China’s best known Tsingtao beer, said on January 5 that it had raised product prices by up to 5 percent, in a bid to offset pressure from higher costs of production and raw materials.

Costa Rica: Costa Rican craft brewers working on increasing export of their products
|
A group of Costa Rican craft beer producers has been working on creating a cluster, in conjunction with the Foreign Trade Promoter, the Promotora de Comercio Exterior de Costa Rica (Procomer), to export their products to new markets, Q Costa Rica News reported on January 7.
Initially aimed at the United States, the initiative is much more ambitious and hopes to bring their craft beers to Central America, South America and Europe.
The cluster was formed two months ago. Ignacio Castro, president of the Asociación de Cerveceros Artesanales de Costa Rica (ACACR) - Association of Craft Brewers of Costa Rica - explained that the cluster is just in a formative stage, but they expect to officially present it in February of 2018.
The cluster must first meet the requirements for export.
“We have more than 100 associates that are dedicated to the production of craft beer in the country, but we are grouped into chapters. In this cluster, 39 producers in the microbrewery category may participate, although they must first meet the requirements for export, so we believe that we will start with about 10 or 12 producers,” said Castro.
The craft beer market in Costa Rica reached a level of maturity that allows it

Australia: New South Wales brewers passing container deposit scheme costs on to their customers
|
Coca-Cola Amatil is already passing on the costs of the New South Wales container deposit scheme to its customers, increasing prices between A$3 to A$5 for a 24-drink carton, The Guardian reported on January 8.
The scheme began on 1 December, allowing NSW residents to return bottles for a 10c refund at depots, over-the-counter collection points and vending machines.
But, as expected, the scheme has brought costs for manufacturers. Those costs are now being passed on to their wholesale customers and, in turn, to the public.
Coca Cola-Amatil has increased prices by 13.6c per container, excluding GST, or more than A$3.20 for a 24-drink carton of soft drink or water, according to a release to the ASX. The beverage giant said the scheme – along with similar projects being planned across the country – had caused considerable uncertainty for its near-term earnings in Australia.
Major brewers have also increased prices by between A$4 to A$5 for a carton of beer, according to the Liquor Stores Association of NSW.
The chief executive of the Brewers Association of Australia, Brett Heffernan, confirmed the scheme’s costs were now being passed on to customers of the big breweries.
“While I can’t comment on individual prices, it’s fair to say
