Scientific Digest
Stabilize your bitterness by dry-hopping
ABSTRACT
It is well known that the bitter substances in beer undergo different degradation processes over time once bottled. However, there is not much data on the stability of bitter
substances in dry-hopped beers available. A new study investigated the stability of various bitter compounds in a lager type beer that was late and dry-hopped. The brewed beers
were stored for two years at 4 °C, 22 °C and 30 °C. The aging of the beers stored at 4 °C resulted only in minor changes. The beers stored at warm temperatures confirmed the high susceptibility of trans-iso-alpha acids versus the cis version to degradation (up to 8 times higher). The interesting result was found in the dry-hopped lager: all of the bitter substances in the dry-hopped beers showed less degradation due to ageing than those in the late-hopped beers. Whether the higher stability of the bitter substances in dry-hopped beer can be attributed to the changes in its composition through the addition of dry-hops was not clearly established. Additional polyphenols may play a beneficial role in this context.

Germany: Bavarian Brewers' Association fears a wave of upcoming bankruptcies in the industry
|
Beer is a massive part of German culture - particularly in Bavaria. But the shutdown is hitting small breweries hard, The Local Germany reported on February 5.
Like many sectors, Germany's beer industry has been hit hard by the pandemic, with sales down around 4.1 percent.
But while large breweries are profiting from increased sales in the food retail trade due to people buying a lot in supermarkets, smaller beer producers are struggling to survive.
Last year most beer festivals like Oktoberfest in Munich as well as smaller ones were cancelled - but that's only the tip of the iceberg as bar and restaurant closures have hit these breweries the hardest.
Above all, the many smaller beer producers who do not have a retail presence need pubs, bars and public festivals to survive.
Georg Schneider, President of the Bavarian Brewers' Association, told local broadcaster BR24: "If there is no turnover but the costs are there, you simply have a business problem."
According to the brewers' association, about 30 percent of Bavarian beer is sold in restaurants, bars, cafes and clubs.
As these places have been closed for months and no beer is being sold, the association fears a wave of upcoming bankruptcies in the beer industry.

Japan & China: Suntory now seeing China as its most important market in the world
|
As 2021 marks the beginning of China's 14th Five-Year Plan, Tetsuho Kikuchi, director president of Suntory (China) Holding Co, shared his goals for the next five years, Shine.cn reported on February 8.
Kikuchi plans to further promote the Suntory brand to more regions in the country, hoping it becomes more of a household name in China.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the company suffered a 5 percent retreat in its global business, while the Chinese market turned out to be a rare bright spot where Suntory saw positive figures for 2020 sustaining its performance in 2019 "thanks to China’s effective prevention and control of the pandemic and the steady economic recovery," he said.
“Based on the surprising performance of the Chinese market in 2020, our Japanese headquarters has asked us to further increase our sales in China from around 2 billion yuan (US$310 million) to 20 billion yuan over the next decade, expanding its business from the East China market to the whole country,” he added.
“We now see China as the most important market in the world, and Suntory wants to keep pace with China’s growing economy.”

USA: AB InBev to start brewing Stella Artois in the US
|
Long known as a product of Belgium, premium beer brand Stella Artois will soon lose its “import” status and be manufactured in the United States, as parent company Anheuser-Busch rolls out a major $1 billion, two-year domestic investment across its portfolio that’s aimed at stimulating the American economy, AdAge reported on February 9.
Under the terms of the arrangement, Stella’s bottling will first shift to St. Louis this summer with cans and draught production transitioning before the end of 2021. Four existing Anheuser-Busch breweries are slated for long-term upgrades to handle the increase in volume, with facilities in Los Angeles, Newark and Jacksonville, Fla., joining the company’s St. Louis flagship in taking on the brand’s manufacture.
In addition, AB is set to invest a further $296 million in Stella’s domestic distribution over the next two years.
“Throughout the pandemic, our advanced planning and proactive actions have put our U.S. supply chain in a strong position; however, we are subject to the instability of the international supply chain when it comes to some of our imports,” says Brendan Whitworth, AB’s chief sales officer in the U.S.
The large-scale investment in Stella will “help create and sustain jobs” across the country, Whitworth adds, while cutting more

Thailand: Craft Beer Association proposes new rules in hope of reopening Bangkok’s bars
|
Thailand’s Craft Beer Association has proposed new rules in the hope that Bangkok’s bars might be allowed to re-open after a month-long closure aimed at curbing the spread of Covid-19, The Thaiger reported on February 6.
The rules include limiting drinks to 2 per customer, limiting sitting time to 90 minutes, and banning dancing and toasts. The association says it has come up with the rules on behalf of craft beer venues adding that, while they might not cover cocktail bars and other pubs, they could serve as a blueprint for those businesses to design their own rules.
Last week, representatives from bars and breweries in the capital staged a protest outside the Ministry of Health, emptying kegs of spoiled beer down the drain. The measure was aimed at highlighting the financial fallout from the enforced closure of bars and the ban on alcohol sales in the capital’s restaurants.
Association member Artid Sivahansaphan says the new rules have been drawn up in the hope that bars might be allowed to re-open.
“We felt the need to come together and form this association in order to represent ourselves, our ideals, and our hopes and dreams for elevating the drinking culture here in Thailand. Instead

Uruguay & China: Uruguay to ship its first cargo of barley to China this month
|
Uruguay is expected to ship its first cargo of barley to China this month after first approving the country as a supplier to the Chinese market back in February 2019, AgriCensus reported on February 9.
Local newspaper El Observador reported that the initial shipment of 35,000 tonnes is scheduled to depart from the Nueva Palmira port this month.
Ruber Martinez, director at the port operator Corporacion Navios said that this shipment is exceptional as the country does not usually export barley, as it is mostly oriented for consumption in the domestic market.
“I believe that this is a very interesting news as Uruguay has the capacity to produce and export barley as it currently does with wheat. With this initial shipment we can open up new opportunities to export this grain,” he said.
According to the report, the protocol conditions signed by China and Uruguay for this initial barley shipment will be revealed later this month.
The Chinese General Administration of Customs (CGAC) originally approved the import of corn and barley from Uruguay into China two years ago, with the imports subject to GMO regulations in China and can only be imported through "designated ports" and processed by "designated crushers".
Uruguay is expected to export 100,000

USA: Commercial hop acreage up 3.37% but total production falls below 2019 crop
|
Commercial U.S. hop acreage increased another 3.73% in 2020, although total production fell below the 2019 crop by 7.29%, the Hop Growers of America said in their latest report published on January 25.
Citra®, HBC 394 widened its lead as the US hop acreage leader, while CTZ retained the #2 spot. Cascade fell to fifth place as Mosaic®, HBC 369 and Simcoe ®, YCR 14 took over the third and fourth place slots. Proprietary hop varieties now account for six of the top ten acreage slots.
Average yields in the Pacific Northwest fell to 1,770 pounds per acre due to severe weather challenges and heavy smoke cover during harvest, while most production regions outside of the PNW experienced average or better yields. Washington was hardest hit with a 12.56% yield reduction from 2019, followed by Idaho with 8.8% lower yields than last year. A severe storm on Labor Day brought sustained high winds, breaking many bines from the trellis and desiccating the ripe hop cones. Serious wildfires erupted as a result of this storm, blanketing much of the Pacific Northwest with heavy overcast skies and sending hop plants into early dormancy due to the lack of sunlight – causing dry cones that
