Scientific Digest
WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF POLLINATED HOPS IN BEER?
ABSTRACT
In the world of hops, the male plants are mostly
considered as gate-crashers and utilised only for
controlled pollination. In English hops, pollinated cones
are accepted, however over the centuries prejudices
have been established that seeded hops decrease
flavour stability due to increased amounts of fatty acids
and also cause lower alpha acid concentration. These
German researchers were able to show in comparative
brewing trials with seeded and unseeded hops that these
two points are not necessarily true. However they also
discovered that the beers with seeded hops showed a
higher beta-glucosidase activity, though a higher content
of aroma active compounds and a higher aroma intensity
in the beers could not be shown. So there is maybe too
much ado about nothing.

USA: Molson Coors’ worldwide sales up 0.2% in 2017
|
Despite continued negative domestic volume trends for its flagship light lager brands, Molson Coors’ worldwide sales increased 0.2 percent to more than $11 billion in 2017, according to company earnings released on February 14.
In 2017, Molson Coors’ global brand volumes increased 1 percent while its revenues per hectolitre were up 2.6 percent, which the company credited to “revenue management and portfolio premiumization.”
The company also shared fourth-quarter highlights, including a 4.5 percent increase in global net sales to about $2.6 billion and a 5.8 percent increase in revenues per hectoliter. However, global brand volumes decreased 1.1 percent during the quarter.
Molson Coors’ full-year domestic sales to wholesalers (STWs) declined 3.3 percent compared to 2016. Sales to retailers (STRs) were down 2.9 percent, which the company attributed to lower volumes in the premium light and below premium segments.
Meanwhile, for the three months ending December 31, the company’s STWs declined by 1.5 percent while its STRs declined 3 percent.
In a press release, Molson Coors president and CEO Mark Hunter said the company was able to deliver “financial and commercial results” despite “a backdrop of integration and challenging market conditions during 2017.” He added that the company “over-delivered on cost savings and free cash flow”

Australia: AB InBev’s Pirate Life to build the largest craft brewery in South Australia
|
Craft brewer Pirate Life has announced it will develop a A$15 mln site at Port Adelaide, creating the largest craft brewery in the state of South Australia, the Business Chief Australia reported on February 13.
The company was recently acquired by the world’s largest beer producing company, Belgium’s AB InBev, and it appears its mammoth spending power is being put into practice.
Pirate Life wants to nearly quadruple its output from 3 mln to 11 mln litres annually. It currently produces a range of different beer, from stouts and IPAs to golden ale and American-style hoppy pale ales.
Set up in 2014, Pirate Life has grown enormously in a short time, shown by the fact it produced just 600,000 litres in its first year compared to the 11 mln litres it now wants to make.
Co-founder Red Proudfoot told ABC: “We've been looking around for a new site for quite a while, looked at a number of locations, loved the Port and identified this gorgeous old wool store.”
He was joined in setting up the company by two fellow Western Australians, who decided that South Australia was the best base to grow the company from. Pirate Life already exports to the likes of

The Philippines: San Miguel Corp planning largest ever equity deal in the Philippines
|
San Miguel Corp., the biggest Philippine company by revenue, has asked investment banks to pitch for a role in a planned sale of shares in its listed food business this year, Bloomberg reported on February 13 citing people with knowledge of the matter.
The conglomerate is expected to appoint advisers as soon as the end of this month, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private. The offering of San Miguel Pure Foods Co. stock could raise around $1.5 billion, though the exact size is still under discussion, the people said.
San Miguel President Ramon Ang said in a mobile phone text message on February 13 he confirms the information, without elaborating. A share sale would boost Pure Foods’s public float after a deal combining San Miguel’s food, beer and liquor businesses under a single publicly-traded company, the people said. Pure Foods will be worth an estimated $9 billion to $10 billion following that transaction, Ang said in November.
A $1.5 billion offering would be the largest ever equity deal in the Philippines, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It would take the crown from the so-called re-IPO of billionaire Lucio Tan’s holding company LT

Ireland: Growth of whiskey sales leads to increased demand for Irish barley and malt
|
The continuing global growth in Irish whiskey sales means that ensuring a sustainable future supply of barley and malt is critical to the continued growth of Irish whiskey, according to the Irish Whiskey Association.
Irish whiskey represents a third of the value of all Irish drinks exports. It is estimated that nearly 120 million bottles (10 million cases) were sold in 2017, worth over €600 million in exports from Ireland, up 20% from 2016.
Speaking at the Heritage Malting Barley Seminar in Celbridge, Co. Kildare, this week, William Lavelle, head of the Irish Whiskey Association, said that the industry aims to maintain this growth. He said that the industry’s 2014 target to double sales from €6 million cases to 12 million by 2020 is on target to being met and exceeded.
He asserted, “Consumers have acquired a taste for new, premium whiskey and are willing to spend more on innovative products that have a distinct character and heritage. Irish whiskey has those qualities. In 2014 there were just four whiskey distilleries in the country. Today there are eighteen, and we expect that number to surpass thirty by 2020 to meet growing international demand.
“The growth of the Irish whiskey industry is good news not

USA: Speciality hop market sent to bust by slowdown in craft beer sales
|
A sharp slowdown in US craft beer sales growth has sent the speciality hop market from boom to bust with its effects starting to be felt by growers beyond its shores, the Financial Times reported.
The fall comes as growers both in the US, the world’s leading hop producer and exporter, and abroad have increased their planting areas as the number of craft brewers increased rapidly, causing demand to surge for popular aroma varieties.
“People [in the hop industry] are very concerned; this is a problem that’s affecting everybody,” said Douglas MacKinnon, chief executive of trader 47hops in Yakima Valley in Washington, a leading producing area. The hop merchant was forced to file for Chapter 11 creditor protection last year as buyers reneged on their contracts and cash flow dried up.
Many of the hop varieties popular among craft beer makers have plunged from their peaks between 2015 and 2016. For example, Citra, known for its smooth floral and citrus aroma and flavour, has almost halved from $23 a pound, according to Lupulin Exchange, a US online hop exchange.
“The [price declines] are widespread,” said John Bryce at Lupulin, which is planning to expand into the UK this year.
Another variety, Cascade, was trading at
