Brewery News
Denmark: Carlsberg could raise $12.7 bln by making a major beer acquisition
Danish brewing giant Carlsberg A/S said on June 26 it was likely to make a
major beer acquisition and could raise as much as 70 billion Danish crowns ($12.7
billion) for such a deal, according to Reuters. "A major deal is likely.
Carlsberg has the strength to become bigger," Chairman Povl Krogsgaard-Larsen told
Reuters in an interview following the surprise announcement last week that the group's
chief executive was departing. The world's fifth-largest brewer, which makes
Carlsberg, Tuborg, Holsten and Baltika beers, is permitted to raise more equity following
a change last month in the statutes of its controlling shareholder, the Carlsberg
Foundation charity. Krogsgaard-Larsen said Carlsberg was an intermediate-size
brewer along with Scottish & Newcastle Plc and Molson Coors. This, he said, put pressure
on the group to do deals so it could compete with the world's top brewers including
InBev and SABMiller Plc. Carlsberg shares ended up 0.61 percent at 659 crowns,
while S&N closed 1.6 percent higher at 650.5 pence as analysts contemplated a possible
Carlsberg bid for its Edinburgh-based rival. Carlsberg Chief Executive Nils
Smedegaard Andersen, who is set to resign after third-quarter results on Nov. 7,
said the company could raise both equity and debt. Last week, Andersen, 48, was

USA: The strike at Western Beverage is not expected to halt flow of Anheuser-Busch beers for July 4
The strike at Western Beverage Co. is not expected to create a shortage of
Anheuser-Busch beer in local stores for the July 4 holiday, executives of Western
Beverage Co. said on June 28, according to the Statesman Journal. Jack Willis,
executive vice president for Western Beverage, said the company has drawn on a pool
of temporary workers and administrative employees to replace the drivers and delivery
people on strike. "I'm going to have all the beer out," Willis said, although he
added that he'd be working through the weekend in some locations. About
35 Salem employees of Western Beverage -- which locally supplies Budweiser, Michelob
and other Anheuser-Busch products -- are on strike. The workers have been picketing
outside Western Beverage's warehouse at 300 Lancaster Drive NE since Monday afternoon,
said Robert McKinney, representative for Teamsters Local 324. They are part
of a larger strike also affecting Western Beverage facilities in Eugene, Medford,
Newport and Coos Bay, McKinney said. The union has reached an impasse with the company
in contract negotiations, particularly over pension and insurance plans.

EU & Russia: Russian beer Baltika has its eyes on the European market
Baltika beer is ubiquitous back home in Russia. But the company's recent decision
to permit production under licence in the UK marks a significant stage in the international
development of the St Petersburg-based group, Financial Times News commented on June
26th. But Anton Artemiev, its president, was in no doubt about the significance
of the licensing deal with Scottish & Newcastle, Britain's biggest brewer. "The start
of licensed production in western Europe of Baltika, one of Russia's most popular
brands, is a natural step in the process of integrating Russia into the world economy,"
he said. Interviewed recently in Edinburgh, Mr Artemiev said: "It is the
first licence for consumer goods from modern Russia to a western company. "It is
quite normal for it to be the other way around. We just hope there will be some more
examples – but we are happy to start." He said Baltika was particularly
pleased to be coming to the UK – and not just because the country has a long history
of brewing and demanding consumers. "The UK is a country very much inhabited
by Russian speakers – in London alone there are 300,000 Russian-speaking people,
a lot of high-society people who spend a week in

USA: New two-rowed barley released by North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station
Pinnacle, a new two-rowed barley variety, has been developed and released by the
North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station, says Al Schneiter, North Dakota State
University Department of Plant Sciences chair, Seed Quest reported June 29.
Pinnacle has barley parentage of mostly experimental lines, but includes Logan
and Foster in its early ancestry. The original cross was made in 1999 by Jerry Franckowiak,
former NDSU two-rowed barley breeder who retired in 2006. Pinnacle has a
white hull, smooth awns and long rachilla hair. Stephen Neate, NDSU barley plant
pathologist, says Pinnacle has greater resistance to spot blotch than Conlon, North
Dakota's leading two-rowed barley, and approaches that of Lacey and Drummond, which
are six-rowed varieties. Fusarium head blight resistance, measured as a percent of
infected kernels, is slightly less than that of Conlon, while the deoxynivalenol
(DON) level is slightly higher. Based on four years of trials in North Dakota
by the NDSU barley breeding program, Pinnacle has a 15 percent yield advantage over
Conlon. Pinnacle heads out about three days later than Conlon, but has greater straw
strength than Conlon and approaches that of the strongest six-rowed varieties.
One of Pinnacle's strengths is its excellent quality, making it a possible candidate
for malting and
