Scientific Digest
Come on, let's dip hop!
ABSTRACT
Japanese researchers introduced this hopping
technology already 2013 at the EBC. Dip hopping means
the addition of hop after wort cooling before start of
fermentation. With this hopping technology they found the following results: hop enzymes do not contribute
to main fermentation, myrcene levels in finished beers
are very low, which was found favourable in this case.
Also, the production of 2M3MB an onion type of flavour
(derived from iso-alpha acid) is supressed due to a lower
H2S content in the beer.

Ireland: Beer remains Ireland’s most popular drink of choice
|
Ireland’s most popular alcoholic drink of choice has been revealed and there are no prizes for guessing what’s come out on top, the Irish Post reported on April 11.
Beer remains the tipple of choice on the Emerald Isle, according to a new report published by Drinks Industry Group of Ireland (DIGI) and Dublin City University (DCU).
The report reveals beer made up 45.2% of all alcohol purchased over the past year.
That represents a 2.7% increase in consumption levels compared with figures for the previous year.
Wine came in a distant second, with an overall share of 26.7%, which represents a 2% decline on the year before.
Spirits are an increasingly popular choice, with whiskey and the like accounting for 20.5% of all the alcohol imbibed in Ireland last year.
That represents an impressive 5.6% increase on last year.
This means that of all alcohol imbibed last year, 20.5% of it was whiskey, vodka, gin and other popular spirits.
Cider remained someway off the pace, despite a 0.4% increase, with pints of Strongbow and other such tipples accounting for just 7.5% of all booze drunk.
Commenting on the report, Rosemary Garth, chairwoman of DIGI and director of communications and corporate affairs at Irish Distillers, noted that increasing popularity

Thailand: Government considering alcohol-free beer tax hike
|
Thailand’s government said it’s considering a tax increase on alcohol-free beer in order to discourage drinkers from eventually switching to alcoholic drinks, Khaosod English reported on April 12.
Patchara Anantasilpa, director general of the Excise Department, announced on April 11 a possible increase in tax on zero-alcohol beer, a recent entry into the Thai beverage market.
Patchara said that the Health Ministry wants non-alcoholic beers to be branded as “malt drinks” instead of “beer” on the basis of public health concerns. He reasoned that once drinkers develop a taste for non-alcoholic beers, they will likely progress to the alcoholic version.
Non-alcoholic beer is currently taxed at 14 percent – around 5 to 12 baht per can – making prices anywhere between 39 to 99 baht per can. This is compared to the 22-percent tax slapped on alcoholic beer, according to Patchara.
Patchara added that there should be clarity on the matter after Songkran, or later next week. He also said that cough syrups, which sometimes contain minor amounts of alcohol, could be affected by the tax increase if approved. This is because non-alcoholic beer or “malt drinks” are actually defined by alcohol contents of 0.5 percent.

India: AB InBev planning to launch two non-alcoholic beers in India
|
Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) is planning to launch two non-alcoholic beers in India, Mint reported. The Belgian beverage maker is set to launch Budweiser 0.0 and Hoegaarden 0.0 in the next three months. Till then, the products will be imported into India, the report stated.
The new drinks are for "those who don't want to drink alcohol, but want to socialise and that’s a way for them to be included in the beer category," Ben Verhaert, Business Unit President, South Asia, AB InBev, told the newspaper.
AB InBev’s plan comes six months after United Breweries (UBL) launched two non-alcoholic beverages in India - lemon-based drink Radler and non-alcoholic beer Heineken 0.0.
According to Statista, the beer market generated $3.8 billion in revenue in 2018 and is expected to grow eight percent annually from 2019-23.
On the subject of craft beer, Verhaert told the newspaper, "As a company we are always open to these opportunities. The only point is you need to bet on the right future trends. Today, we have a large portfolio that we can leverage. I would say we are looking at any kind of future trends that could actually pop-up."
AB InBev has been trying to boost its presence in the non-alcoholic

South Korea & USA: South Korea’s Booth Brewing successfully conquers craft beer lovers out of its US production facility
|
Booth Brewing, one of South Korea's most visible craft beer producers, doesn't make its beer where Korean beer giants Hite and OB produce their ubiquitous watery lagers. Instead, most of Booth's beers are brewed in Eureka, the California city near the Oregon border most known for redwood trees and marijuana cultivation, KPBS reported on April 9.
Booth launched in Seoul in 2013 after husband and wife team Sunghoo Yang, a former investment analyst, and Heeyoon Kim, a former doctor, wanted to help correct the dearth of craft beer in South Korea. Part of their impetus was an article that ran a few years prior in The Economist. "Brewing remains just about the only useful activity at which North Korea beats the South," the article concluded, while declaring North Korea's government-brewed Taedonggang as more memorable than South Korea's beer offerings.
Like many South Koreans, Yang and Kim wanted to prove that conclusion wrong. So they teamed up with Daniel Tudor, the article's author, and opened a pub that served pizza and craft beer out of a Seoul alley. Their patriotic origin story and quirky branding — their bottles have colorful labels featuring the adventures of a blue creature called the Boothman — quickly

USA: Clothing company Patagonia sues AB InBev for selling Patagonia beer
|
Clothing company Patagonia is suing Budweiser's parent company for selling a beer that bears its name and evokes its rugged, environmentally friendly brand and logo, CNN reported on April 10.
AB InBev was granted a trademark to sell Patagonia beer in the United States in 2012, but the company sat on the name until 2018, when it started selling beer with the branding.
Patagonia, the clothing company, accuses AB InBev of trademark infringement for copying the brand's name and aesthetic on its beer. AB's Patagonia beer packaging includes a silhouette of a mountain and the word Patagonia in bold lettering.
What's worse, the clothing company said, is AB InBev has been selling the brew and its own Patagonia-branded apparel at pop-up stores at ski resorts, which is Patagonia clothing territory, the company said in the suit.
"In short, AB has done everything possible to make it appear as though this PATAGONIA beer is sold by Patagonia."
The company said that AB InBev "has gone as far as creating a logo that is strikingly similar to Patagonia's famous mountain silhouette logo that has appeared continuously for decades on millions of products."
In a short emailed statement to CNN, an AB InBev spokesperson wrote the company will fight

Canada: Barley carryout forecast to be lowest in six decades
|
Canadian barley carryout is forecast to be the lowest in six decades, the Western Producer reported on April 11.
Agriculture Canada estimates 900,000 tonnes of carryout. Index Mundi has charted ending stocks going back to 1960 and they have never been lower.
Neil Townsend, senior market analyst with FarmLink Marketing Solutions, said the low stocks are the result of a combination of factors.
Canadian barley acres are hovering around the 60-year lows and there have been good malting barley exports to China, but the biggest factor is that the Canadian feed industry has been a voracious consumer of the crop.
“Animal numbers in Western Canada are pretty strong, so we’ve had good feeding of barley,” he said.
Feed prices vary widely but feedlots have commonly paid $5 per bushel for old crop feed barley in 2018-19. The last couple of years the price has been below C$4 and before that C$2.50 to C$3 was the norm.
“This is a very strong price right now,” said Townsend.
He wouldn’t be surprised if old crop prices appreciated further in the May/June/July period if dry conditions persist on the Prairies and buyers decide to stock up.
New crop feed barley prices are about C$1 per bushel lower, indicating that the market
