Scientific Digest
A new approach to hop freshness
ABSTRACT
Chinese researchers propose a new way to
evaluate hop freshness, the HFI (Hop Freshness
Index). The hitherto established method is the HSI
(Hop storage index) where the degradation of alpha
and beta acids is measured with absorbance reading.
The determination of the HFI is based on the content
of alpha, beta and iso-alpha acids measured by a
new HPLC method. Within their trials they also
discovered that the degradation of alpha (and beta)
acids is hop variety dependent.

South Korea: Hite catching up fast with beer industry’s front-runner Oriental Brewery
|
Competition is flaring up in South Korea’s beer market as the No. 2 player Hite is catching up fast with the front-runner Oriental Brewery, Korea IT Times reported on October 2.
Hite is accelerating marketing efforts in recent days to take advantage of Oriental Brewery’s recent “bad odor” scandal arising from the strong-smelling substance in the company’s flagship brand Cass beer.
According to a local discount store which compiled the sales of beers by brand during the period from September 1 to 29, Oriental Brewery had a share of 46.9 percent, followed by Hite Jinro with 38.3 percent, and Lotte Liquor with 14.8 percent.
Considering that the gap between Oriental Brewery and Hite averaged at 30.4 percentage points during the January-April period of this year, Hite narrowed the gap to 8.6 percentage points. For the first time in three years, the Oriental Brewery/Hite market share gap is narrowed to a single digit figure.

Greece: Beer showing resistance to overall decline in alcoholic beverages market
|
In Greece, beer is showing robust resistance to the overall decline in the alcoholic beverages market, the latest statistics have shown.
Beer sales posted an increase in the first seven months of the year both in the so-called warm market (supermarkets, small retail points etc) and the cold market (restaurants, entertainment venues etc). Given that the data do not include the rest of the summer, it is possible that the rise in beer sales will be far greater for the whole of the year thanks to the country’s record tourism arrivals, Balkans.com reported on October 3.
IRI research data showed beer market turnover in the year to end-July to have reached 123.4 million euros at retail chains and small sales points (such as kiosks), recording 1.4 percent growth from the same period in 2013.
There was also a 3.2 percent increase in sales volume, which reached 58.1 million liters.
In addition, there was a remarkable 1.1 percent yearly rise in consumption at catering establishments, in contrast to the rest of the alcohol market reports Kathimerini.

UK: Report shows discontinuing beer duty escalator very beneficial to beer industry
|
The British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA) has released its ‘Cheers 2014’ report, detailing how consecutive beer duty cuts have created 16,000 jobs and boosted beer sales, at very little cost to the Government. The report, produced in partnership with CAMRA and SIBA, was presented to Chancellor George Osborne at the Conservative Party Conference, along with a new, special-edition beer, ‘George’s Budget Booster’, to celebrate the benefits of the duty cut.
On the report itself, the BBPA commissioned Oxford Economics to examine the impact of the Budget decision to discontinue the beer duty escalator and cut two consecutive pennies off a pint in 2013 and 2014. It is forecast that by next year an additional 16,000 more people will work in the sector than if the escalator had remained in place.
The successive cuts have boosted beer sales by over 500 million pints, and channeled an extra £44 million in capital investment (alongside over £400 million already planned) into the brewing and pub sector.
Duty cuts have led to renewed optimism across the sector. The BBPA surveyed brewers and pub operators after the March 2014 Budget to assess the impact of the Chancellor’s decision. Over three-quarters of respondents intended to launch new products,

Nigeria: Beer consumers becoming increasingly price-conscious
|
Nigerian beer consumers are becoming increasingly price-conscious and are opting more for products in the value segment, which are more affordable than the well-known mainstream brands, Business Day reported on October 3.
The shift is prompting brewers into the innovation of new value brands and increased spending on advertising, with a view to establishing and maintaining a positive impact on the customers’ hearts and minds.
Analysts identify factors that drive consumer demand for the value beer segment as advertisement, peer group influence and situational variation, among others.
Value beer products are low-cost brands, or brands which are cheaper and more affordable to low-income consumers. In Nigeria, prices of most beer brands in this segment range between N150 and N170 per bottle.
On the other hand, mainstream or premium beer brands are often readily available and appealing to the general public, as opposed to being of interest only to a very specific subset of the market. Prices of mainstream or premium beer brands are upwards of N200, say experts.
Jude Fejokwu, principal analyst, Thaddeus Africa Independent Research, says the trend has mostly affected Guinness Nigeria, whose sales declined in the country due to the emergence of a more price-aware and sensitive consumer base.
According to Fejokwu, the

Vietnam: Proposed ban on sidewalk alcohol sales withdrawn by Ministry of Industry and Trade
|
Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade has withdrawn its proposed ban on sidewalk alcohol sales following widespread criticism, Thanh Nien News reported on October 2.
Pham Chi Dung, director of the ministry’s light industry department, said they shelved the proposal following several discussions on the draft decree on producing and trading alcohol products.
“It is illegal to occupy sidewalks for trading in many places and beer is just one of many products being sold in this manner,” he said, echoing a criticism raised during internal reviews of the proposal.
“Other controversial proposals were also eliminated, including banning the sale of alcohol to pregnant and breastfeeding women and people who exhibit “signs of being drunk and/or diseased due to alcohol abuse.”
Instead, the ministry called for a new rule mandating warning labels on beer, he said.
Dung said the ministry would also continue to seek a law barring the sale of alcohol to people under 18 years old.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade’s proposed ban had drawn virulent criticism for being ill-conceived and unfeasible.
According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Vietnam produced 2.02 billion litres of beer so far this year, a 6.5 percent increase over last year. The country ranked third in Asia in
