 Brewery News
Colombia: SABMiller picks BNP to carry out public offer on Bavaria
London-based SABMiller PLC said May 24 it chose French investment bank BNP Paribas
SA to carry out an obligatory public tender offer to purchase the stake it doesn't
own in Colombia's biggest brewer Grupo Empresarial Bavaria SA, Dow Jones’ MarketWatch
announced May 25.
In December, SABMiller paid $1.2 billion to buy a 25.2%
stake in Bavaria in a public tender offer. With that operation, SABMiller raised
its stake in Bavaria to 97%. The company then further raised its stake, buying shares
on the open market and owns all but a little more than 2.3% of the beer maker.
Under Colombian law, if one disappointed minority shareholder requests an additional
public tender offer, the company is forced to undertake the operation. In July, SABMiller
had agreed to pay $7.8 billion to Bavaria's previous owner, Julio Mario Santo Domingo
for his 71.8% stake in the company.
Juan Claudio Morales, a former manager
of the bankers' association, Asobancaria, and also a minority shareholder in Bavaria
claimed in December, SABMiller had paid Santo Domingo more than the minority shareholders.
Colombian traders are speculating the new public tender offer might take
place on late August.

Estonia: Saku Õlletehase AS released its financial results of Q1 2006
Estonia’s largest brewery Saku Õlletehase AS said its beverage sales for the first
quarter of 2006 totalled 15.48 million litres, 656,000 litres or 4.4% up on the corresponding
period in 2005. Revenue amounted to EEK 125.1 million (€7.9 million), an EEK 15.6
million (€997,000) or 14.2% improvement compared to a year ago, the company released
May 31.
The growth resulted, above all, from larger beer sales and a rise
in profitability.
"Saku Õlletehase AS ended the first quarter with strong
results: our beers expanded their market share and the company's profitability improved.
We have succeeded in implementing our strategy through systematic enhancement of
the product range and consistent reduction of the cost base. We have launched new
and reduced the share of less profitable products and have rationalised our logistics
structure," said Acting Chairman of the Management Board Janno Veskimäe in his commentary
on the company's first quarter results.
Expenses for the quarter totalled
EEK 113.7 million (€7.2 million), EEK 8.3 million (€531,000) or 7.9% up on the same
period in 2005. Expenses have grown mainly on account of rising raw materials prices
and changes in the product range which have resulted in additional expenses of EEK
2.1 million (€135,000). Transport expenses

Canada: Labatt Breweries rolls out its own version of Brahma
Molson Coors Brewing Co. couldn't get anyone to drink its Brazilian import, but
that hasn't stopped Labatt Breweries of Canada from rolling out its own version this
spring, The Canadian Business posted June 01.
Now available from Quebec
westward, Brahma supposedly fills a gaping hole in Labatt's lineup: an "international
player in clear glass," says spokesman James Villeneuve. Apparently, beers are no
longer categorized by style or price, but by bottle colour and location. That's understandable,
since Brahma doesn't exactly offer an exotic taste explosion. Indeed, Labatt seems
proud that Brahma, the world's sixth-best-selling beer, has a "clean flavour" and
"no aftertaste." In that respect, Brahma isn't much different than A Marca Bavaria,
Molson's Brazilian experiment, but the similarities end there.
Molson tried
selling A Marca Bavaria using a tacky soft-porn television ad that boasted "there
are no sins below the equator." It also positioned the beer as "super premium," even
though it was clearly neither of those things — especially in Brazil, where it is
considered a poor man's brew. Of course, this is the same company that believes its
own Canadian brand deserves the "premium" designation.
With Brahma, which
is broadly targeted at a younger market, the legendary Brazilian sex appeal

World: Beer industry to be focused on brand identity
The aggressive consolidation within the global beer industry continued apace in
2005, with SABMiller’s acquisition of Grupo Empresarial Bavaria leading a host
of takeovers. Although this trend is expected to continue, the pace should be more
relaxed during 2006. With this in mind, strengthening brand identity could now become
a priority for the leading brewers, Canadean analysts announced June 01.
According
to a brand new report from leading beverage industry analysts Canadean, Anheuser-Busch
boasts the two largest brands by volume, but the strength of Bud Light and Budweiser
lies mainly in the USA. Only Heineken can be regarded as a truly ‘global’ brand and
sits firmly at the centre of the Dutch brewer’s business.
Strong branding
and a unique on-trade pump have helped Scottish & Newcastle lead the way in the ‘Super-Chilled’
segment. Within 18 months of its launch, some 50,000 ‘condensation’ pumps were installed
in the UK alone delivering Foster’s, Kronenbourg Blanc, John Smith’s Extra Cold and
Strongbow. InBev’s ‘Big Chill’ campaign is among the competing offerings.
The
mature beer markets of Western Europe and North America continue to decline. As a
result, the major brewers have focused on high growth emerging markets and in doing
so, appear to be

Malt News
EU: Malt production costs are to increase this year, analysts said
According to recent specialty reports on malt production, the European malt market
is undergoing serious changes. And there are victims to be listed among market
actors who find themselves affected by such severe market conjuncture.
Following
the example of Weissheimer, IMC (International Malting Cooperation) had expressed
its willingness to abandon the problematic European malt market. This strategy is
likely to result in closing its Northern France, Lille 150,000 t malt capacity factory
and to inspire upcoming closures of malt facilities in France and other EU countries.
Nevertheless, European malt demand of 8.1 million t is satisfied by a nearly
equal malt supply, or recent estimates say that further malt production facilities
closures will balance malt production capacities and malt needs through eliminating
excess capacities caused by the building of new factories and declining export opportunities.
Exports of malt are steadily growing despite significant fall to Russia, reports
say. Exports of malt to other regions represented a growth incentive, as the 2005/2006
exports campaign demonstrated.
Further, the energy supply cost raised malt
production costs through inducing a higher malting barley price calculation. It is
estimated that the energy price increment will generally determine a EUR 7 – EUR

Hops News
USA: Researchers say hops might be effective in the prevention of cancer
About ten years ago, Oregon State University researchers took an interest in hops.
In particular, the flavonoid compound xanthohumol found in hops. Although xanthohumol
was first discovered almost 100 years ago, no one was aware of the possible health
benefits of the compound, The Cancer Blog released May 31.
In the last ten
years, Fred Stevens, assistant professor of medicinal chemistry in OSU's College
of Pharmacy, as well as a Linus Pauling Institute researcher - with a team of researchers
- have been able to determine that hops might be effective in the prevention of cancer.
In the latest published research paper, the researchers are stating that
beer looks promising in prostate cancer prevention and prevention of prostate enlargement.
Before you get excited at the prospect that drinking beer is cancer prevention, according
to the research, you would need to drink more than 17 beers to consume the same amount
used in the study. Or you could travel to Germany.
There is a microbrewed
beer manufactured and distributed in Germany that is xanthohumol-enhanced, and contains
ten times the normal amount of the compound found in regular beer. The beer is not
available outside of Germany. Researchers think that a drug containing a

Scientific Digest
Polyphenols and Pyrazines
in Beer During Aging
Asaf A. Qureshi, W. C. Burger, and N. Prentice, USDA-SEA, Barley and Malt Laboratory, 501 N. Walnut Street,
Madison, WI53705 and Department of Agronomy, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Abstract:
Concentrations of 18 polyphenols and 13 pyrazines in aging bottled beer
were determined by high performance liquid chromatography with a
reverse phase octadecyl-silica (/*-Bondapak®Ci8) column. Ten to 50 v\ of
beer could be directly applied to the column and assayed. Most polyphenols
decreased during storage for up to 84 days, but vanillic acid and
epicatechin remained constant, and catechin and chlorogenic acid
increased markedly. Quercetin was the polyphenol in largest quantity,
followed by catechin. Pyrazines were monitored for 56 days' storage. Most
levels decreased quickly during the first 48 hr. During the latter half of
storage, increases were found in 2-methylpyrazine, 2,6-dimethylpyrazine,
and 2-ethyl-5-methylpyrazine, but the remaining pyrazines did not change
markedly after five days' storage. No significant changes were observed
during storage of frozen beer or of lyophilized beer. No measurable loss in
pyrazines occurred during lyophilization. The simple assay procedure has
ready application for monitoring these compounds in beer stored under
commercial conditions.
Key words: Flavor-active compounds, HPLC, Storage changes
