Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer.

Scientific Digest
POURABLE HOP EXTRACTS
ABSTRACT
An article from JIH researchers provides a very good overview of the hop extract
product range. CO2 extraction offers a wide range of conditions to produce products with slightly different properties. What can make CO2 hop extract difficult to use, however, is its consistency, as conventional CO2 extract has to be warmed up before dosing to make it flowable. Throughout the past few years, we have developed flowable hop extracts that are easy to dose.
They can be used on the hot side or cold side of the brewing process, for bittering or aromatic purposes.

India: Microbreweries report drop in sales for the first time ever
|
Sales at microbreweries across India have fallen for the first time ever, as the segment faced dry days during elections, a prolonged monsoon and an overall economic slump that forced consumers to cut down on discretionary spending, the Economic Times reported on December 6.
About half a dozen microbrewery owners said 2019 has been the worst year so far, making them cut operational and logistic costs to keep business afloat and compensate for 20-30% loss in the past three months.
“For the first time I have borrowed money from the bank this quarter to meet the shortfall,” said Ajay Nagarajan, co-founder of Bengaluru-based brewpub Windmills Craftworks which witnessed a 12% decline in revenue in the past three months. “We have either lowered price or removed exotic food such as salmon and lamb from the menu. We have trimmed our food cost, HR budget and discretionary staff by 10%.”
The ongoing economic slowdown has forced many companies to reduce their entertainment budgets which in turn has affected footfalls at brewpubs and bars. Traditionally, summer months are considered to be the best period for beer segment, followed by October-December due to weddings and year-end parties. So far, microbreweries have

Belgium: AB InBev in talks with unions after breweries return to work
|
Anheuser-Busch InBev is in talks with unions after staff staging a blockade of breweries in Belgium returned to work, local media reported on December 6.
The company said its Belgium production sites went back to production in the evening on December 5. Discussions with unions were scheduled to take place on December 6.
According to media reports, staff at AB InBev's breweries in Jupille and Leuven blockaded the sites from the afternoon of December 2. Unions and the company are in dispute over guarantee of income in the event of dismissal, the Brussels Times reported.
In September, drinks giant Diageo averted industrial action at its Scottish production facilities after securing a last-minute deal with trade unions. The Scottish sites handled bottling, maturation and distillery operations for Diageo brands including Johnnie Walker, Gordon's gin and Smirnoff vodka.
AB InBev's Leuven brewery produces a number of brands including Stella Artois. The Jupille brewery is best known for Belgian beer Jupiler.

India: United Breweries Limited launches specialty beer Ultra Witbier
|
India’s largest brewer, United Breweries Limited (UB), on December 4 announced the rollout of speciality beer - Ultra Witbier - under its flagship Kingfisher brand, riding on the growing popularity of craft brews in India’s top metros, LiveMint reported.

As a result, brands such as Bira, Simba, The White Owl, among others, have seen a surge in popularity in the country's top cities. Ultra Witbier 330 ml is priced at par with Bira White and Simba Jungle Wheat in Bengaluru.

Canada: CMBTC issues list of recommended malting barley varieties
|
The Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre (CMBTC) has issued its list of recommended malting barley varieties for the 2020-21 marketing year. The list contains varieties that hold the most promise for producers in terms of performance, quality and marketability. All varieties on the 2020-21 Recommended Malting Barley Variety List have been pilot scale tested by the CMBTC and exhibit good malting and brewing characteristics.
In addition to established varieties such as CDC Copeland, AC Metcalfe and AAC Synergy, Canada has a promising suite of new varieties under market development with excellent malting and brewing characteristics as well as improved agronomic and disease packages. Up-and-coming varieties such as CDC Bow, AAC Connect and CDC Fraser are among the next generation of high-quality performers and will be available in commercial quantities in 2020.
“We are at a crossroads with respect to malting barley varieties in Canada. After nearly 20 years as the dominant variety, AC Metcalfe production has dropped considerably over the past three years. It’s a marvelous variety that has served customers of Canadian barley well, however our new varieties have excellent malting and brewing quality characteristics, and exhibit significantly improved field performance, including higher yields and better resistance to lodging,” says Peter
