Scientific Digest
How much creep do I get?
ABSTRACT
Dry-hopping brewers are aware of "hop creep". Dry hop creep is a gradual reduction in beer gravity after dry-hopping in the presence of yeast due to generation of fermentable sugars
from nonfermentable dextrins by hop-associated enzymes. However, it is very important for brewers to know what hop creep will do to their beer in terms of alcohol content, degree
of fermentation and generation of CO2. A new paper proposes a method adapted from ASBC Method of Analysis Wort-5 whereby a benchtop, forced fermentation is performed using a consistent dosage rate for dry-hopping and assessing the apparent extract and apparent degree of fermentation after 72 hours. This approach offers brewers the potential of estimating the enzymatic power, or hop creep potential, of the hops being evaluated. The researchers discovered challenges with changing the form of yeast (dried vs wet). Results indicated that a small-scale dry-hopped forced fermentation is a promising tool for assessing the potential magnitude of hop creep in a given lot of hops, and that differences in apparent extract and/or apparent degree of fermentation of forced fermentations can be used to estimate the terminal gravity post-hop creep of full-scale fermentations.

The Czech Republic: An average Czech consumes 292 beers, 100 glasses of wine and 175 shots of hard alcohol per year
|
According to the Czech Statistical Office, an average Czech consumes 292 beers, 100 glasses of wine and 175 shots of hard alcohol annually. “The latest comparative study by the World Health Organization ranked us third in the world in terms of alcohol consumption per capita. According to this study, the average Czech drinks 14.4 litres of pure alcohol per year,” said Ladislav Csémy from the National Institute of Mental Health, as quoted by Brnensky Denik.
The study says that one reason for the heavy alcohol consumption in the Czech Republic is the low cost and easy accessibility of alcohol. An average Czech household spends nearly CZK 8,800 per year on beer alone. However, this works out as more of a liability than an economic boon, as the country spends over CZK 56 billion treating health problems related to alcohol consumption, such as liver cancer, mental disorders or high blood pressure.
However, help could be at hand. Researchers from the Biological Center of the Academy of Sciences in České Budějovice are working on new types of beer which would include substances that fight against harmful bacteria and cancer. In the first month of 2021, the researchers announced that by using bitter

UK: Heineken acquires full ownership of London’s Brixton Brewery
|
Heineken has acquired full ownership of London’s Brixton Brewery, following the acquisition of a minority stake in 2017, BeverageDaily.com reported on February 2.
Brixton Brewery was founded in 2013 by two local couples who met in a Brixton bar and shared a passion for the emerging London beer scene.
Starting life with one employee and mainly making deliveries on foot around Brixton Market, the 2017 investment from Heineken funded a purpose-built brewery and kept the brewery’s original railway arches site as a tap room and experimental brewery.
The company now employs 25 people, and its brand is based on the Brixton community, such as naming beers after local landmarks.
Jez Galaun, founder of Brixton Brewery, said the business has built a strong relationship with Heineken over the last three years and benefited from the Dutch multinational company’s expertise.
“When we look back over the past seven years, we honestly can’t believe how far we’ve come – from home brewing to starting a small brewery, to building a highly recognisable community-based brand, with a large new brewery and Tap Room. It makes us want to dream even bigger for the next seven.

South Africa: Brewers welcome lifting of third blanket ban on alcohol but fear for future
|
A relieved Beer Association of South Africa (BASA) has welcomed the lifting of the third blanket ban on alcohol by President Cyril Ramaphosa in his address to the nation on February 1, but cautioned that the sector is still hamstrung by restrictions, the Independent Online reported.
This follows BASA’s multiple pleas to government for urgent intervention, in order to ensure both the survival of the industry, as well as the survival of small businesses and craft breweries, who find themselves on the brink of closure.
BASA indicated that with trading restrictions still in place, it will continue to limit the beer sector’s recovery, with there being no guarantee that craft brewers will recover.
“The President has offered small businesses a glimmer of hope - although it may be too little too late for some,” BASA said in a statement last night.
Trading may resume according to the following restrictions – the sale of alcohol for off-site consumption is to be permitted from Monday to Thursday, from 10:00 – 18:00, while micro-breweries will be allowed to sell alcohol for off-site consumption during their licensed operating hours.
Restaurants will be permitted to sell alcohol for on-site consumption from 10:00 – 22:00.

Australia: Brewers Association slams latest excise hike
|
Beer drinkers and the hospitality sector have been hit with higher taxes from February 1 as government excise once again increased, the Brewers Association of Australia said in an official press-release.
With the hospitality sector still battling to recover from the economic impacts of Covid-19 and many households facing real economic uncertainty, this is a terrible time for a further tax increase on beer, the Association said.
Australians already pay the fourth highest beer tax in the industrialised world and these continued increases are damaging the brewing industry and the nation’s hospitality sector.
Australians have demonstrated consistently that they understand the importance of drinking in moderation with Australian alcohol consumption now at its lowest levels since the 1970s – local drinkers have earned some relief.
Many beer drinkers will feel the impact of the tax increase, especially at a time of real cost of living pressures.
Australia’s tax regime is out of step with many other similar countries. Early last year, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic Germany deferred its beer tax from the equivalent of 13 Australian cents to zero and Britain froze its beer tax at $1.52 (AUD).
The US Federal Government also passed legislation at the end of December making permanent significant tax

China & France & Canada: China keeps sweeping up huge volumes of French and Canadian barley
|
China's buying spree of French and Canadian barley is spilling into the 2021/22 crop with large forward purchases, due to its major feed grain needs and a prohibitive tariff on Australian barley, traders and analysts said.
China has been sweeping up huge volumes of foreign crops to help feed a pig herd being rebuilt after a disease epidemic. In barley, an 80.5% tariff slapped on Australian supplies last year, amid diplomatic tensions with Canberra, has focused demand on other suppliers, Reuters reported on February 3.
A large amount of Canada's 2021 barley crop has already been booked by Chinese buyers, traders said, with one citing at least one million tonnes.
That would be in line with at least one million tonnes of new-crop European barley thought to have been sold so far, traders said.
Some said France would supply the European volume, with one trader putting French sales at up to 2 million tonnes, although others said the sales were on an optional basis and could be sourced partly from Ukraine.
Shipment would be mainly over July-September, traders added.
Barley export premiums for this summer's French crop surged last week as traders said exporters covered some of their hefty advance sales made to China since late

USA: Spirits sales rise in 2020 despite pandemic and higher tariffs
|
U.S. spirits sales rose in 2020 despite the double whammy of the pandemic and tariffs. In its 2020 Economic Briefing, the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS) credited a combination of consumers upgrading to super-premium spirits as "affordable luxuries" as they sheltered in place and creative approaches in states and cities to support the hospitality business, the Food Dive reported on February 1.
Supplier sales of spirits rose 7.7% in 2020 to $31.2 billion, with volumes up 5.3%, according to DISCUS. Total beverage alcohol sales by volume increased 3%. Spirits were able to gain 1.3 percentage points in market share over beer and wine in 2020, commanding 39.1% of total beverage alcohol sales. This marks the 11th consecutive year of market share gains for spirits, according to DISCUS. Each point in market share represents an additional $800 million in revenue for suppliers, the group said.
This growth came despite a series of retaliatory tariffs slapped on U.S. alcohol segments, including spirits, by the European Union that were triggered by an escalating trade dispute. An early spike in off-premise consumption helped offset revenues lost from restaurant and bar closures. DISCUS applauded new legislation in 18 states that allowed to-go cocktails
