Scientific Digest


WHATEVER IRON MALT BRINGS IN - HOPS CAN FIX IT!

ABSTRACT
A German research team discovered a couple of years ago that hops act as a chelator for iron, and this can help to improve oxidative stability. Their most recent work investigates hops capability of reducing iron in the brewing process from different special malt types. The results of their study indicate that this only works for a certain amount of accessible iron.

BreweryBrewery News Brewery


Brewery news USA: Mid-year off-premise craft beer sales up just 1.7%
Midway through 2018, off-premise volume sales of craft beer across a variety of large-scale retail stores in the US are up just 1.7 percent, according to market research firm IRI Worldwide, Brewbound reports.

While craft beer dollar sales at grocery, club, drug, dollar, mass merchandiser and convenience stores were just shy of $2 billion through June 17, up 2.9 percent year-to-date, the most recent trends point to a slowdown as brewing companies head into an important summer season.

Volume sales of craft beer at multi-outlet and convenience stores were up just 0.2 percent during the latest four-week scan, while dollar sales increased 1.4 percent.

Sales for some of the country’s largest craft beer suppliers – Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, New Belgium Brewing, Craft Brew Alliance and Deschutes Brewery – are in the red.

Off-premise volume sales of California-headquartered Sierra Nevada Brewing, which is ranked by industry trade group the Brewers Association as the third largest craft beer company in the U.S., were down 2.2 percent during the four-week period ending June 17. The company’s year-to-date trends, however, are about flat.

Year-to-date volume sales of New Belgium, CBA and Deschutes products, meanwhile, were down 10.4 percent, 8 percent, and 10.4 percent, respectively, thru the halfway point ...More info on site

Brewery news Zambia: AB InBev’s Zambian Breweries launches US$30 mln expansion project
AB InBev’s Zambian Breweries Plc on 28 June 2018 officially opened the US$30 million expansion project of the packaging line located on the Copperbelt, Zambia’s industrial and Mining hub, the Zambia Business Times reported.

Speaking at the official commissioning of the plant in Ndola, company operations director Franz Shepping said the introduction of the state of the heart hi-tech technology will help in improving production and ensure efficient use of resources such as water and energy.

“We are also investing in our employees through training them on how to effectively use and operate this advanced modern equipment,” he said. Shepping said the company is determined to continue contributing to the sustainable growth of the economy, as more than one thousand youths have been employed through the same project.

Minister of Trade, Christopher Yaluma who graced the occasion said the programs been undertaken by Zambian Breweries are a clear testimony of the company’s commitment to the growth of the local economy. “We have to engage the private sector if we are to achieve growth, it is everyone’s responsibility to improve the lives of people. We are committed to enhance the brewing sector and the economy at large,” Yaluma said.


Brewery news Germany: AB InBev resumes talks to sell German brands Hasseroeder and Diebels
Anheuser Busch InBev’s German unit said it was resuming talks to sell its small German beer brands Hasseroeder and Diebels as a planned sale to financial investor CK Corporate Finance has stalled, Reuters reported on July 2.

“CK Corporate Finance Group has so far not been able to meet all the contractual conditions to complete the transaction by mid-2018,” AB InBev Deutschland said in a statement on July 2.

The company said it was holding talks with selected interested parties in parallel to the sale to CK Corporate Finance Group.

“It is important to us now to make clear to all involved parties that we are actively working on alternatives and looking at offers, especially with an eye to our staff, brands and sites,” it said.

AB InBev said its goal was still a sale of the two beer brands and the associated breweries.


Brewery news Japan: Japan’s major brewers split over own-brand beers
Major Japanese beer companies are split over how to deal with own-brand products manufactured for such retailers as supermarkets and convenience stores, the Inquirer reported on July 2.

Own-brand products are products planned by retailers such as supermarkets and convenience stores and sold under their own brand labels. They outsource production to manufacturers. As they can cut such costs as distribution and advertisement expenses, they can sell their own-brand products for less than those of the big brands.

Kirin Brewery Co. has gone on the offensive by accepting a series of requests for manufacturing such own-brand products — known as “private brands” in Japan — but other beer firms, such as Asahi Breweries Ltd. have adopted a wait-and-see stance.

As the domestic market for beer and beer-like alcoholic beverages is shrinking, it has become more important for beer firms to cooperate with retailers. However, how to deal with own-brand beers has become a thorny issue for them, as such products are likely to compete with the manufacturers’ branded products.

In June, major supermarket chain operator Aeon Co. updated three beverages of its own-brand line-up of so-called third-segment quasi-beers, Topvalu Barreal.

The price for a 350-milliliter can remained the same at ¥84, but Aeon switched manufacturers ...More info on site


Brewery news Lithuania: Carlsberg and Brooklyn Brewery open new brewery in Lithuania
Danish brewing company Carlsberg and US-based Brooklyn Brewery have opened a new brewery in Lithuania, the Drinks Insight Network reported on July 2.

Called the Svyturys Brewery, the new facility is located in the Klaipeda port area. It was opened after three years of reconstruction work, which was carried out using a joint investment between the two companies.

Svyturys Brewery features a new craft beer line, a beer museum, a gastropub and a shop, as well as conference and degustation halls.

Svyturys-Utenos Alus’ managing director Rolandas Virsilas said: “Today the Svyturys Brewery embarks on a new journey, changing a closed and outdated brewing space into a modern, open and social place where it is all about brewing the perfect craft beer.

“Our ambition is to nurture and support the rich beer culture in Lithuania and to make Svyturys Brewery the centre of this culture not only within Lithuania but also in the entire Baltic region.

“I am sure that this day also marks the beginning of a greater change within the brewing market of Lithuania.”

The opening of the new brewery in Lithuania is expected to further strengthen the partnership between Carlsberg and Brooklyn. The project is said to be the companies’ fourth major joint undertaking ...More info on site

Brewery news USA: Constellation Brands says its first two major Corona innovations already exceeding expectations
Corona Premier and Corona Familiar – the first major Corona innovations in over 25 years – are already exceeding expectations, says Constellation Brands, while it is also experimenting with premium spiked refresher Corona Refresca in test markets, BeverageDaily.com reported on July 3.

Corona Premier – ‘a smooth, perfectly balanced lager with only 90 calories and 2.6g carbs’ – is a light beer launched in the US in March. Corona Familiar – a ‘full flavored lager that taps into the tradition of sharing with family and friends’ - was launched in Constellation Brands’ major Hispanic markets in 12 oz bottles last year.

The Corona portfolio is brewed in Mexico by Constellation Brands and imported and marketed exclusively to the US by the company. Corona Extra has been the top imported beer in the US for more than 20 years and the number five beer brand overall.

Constellation Brands says the test launch of Corona Premier last spring validated the interest in a light beer alternative, targeting men over 35 who want to trade up. “Corona Premier offers the light beer experience men 35 plus have been waiting for …these guys have upgraded just about every brand in their life since ...More info on site
