Let the yeast control the hop flavour
ABSTRACT
When we think of yeast and hop aroma, we first
think about the biotransformation reactions
that take place, where the contribution to flavor
is still debatable. Yeast can also be seen as a biosorbant for selective adsorption of hop
aroma components. In this context non-viable
brewing yeast was used successfully by these
Japanese researchers. This application could be
used to add hop flavours into alcohol free beers
or for identifying hop aroma compounds in
beer.

Japan: Government may decide to overhaul beer tax system in fiscal 2017 - sources
|
Japan’s government and ruling camp are likely to forgo a beer tax overhaul under annual tax system reforms for fiscal 2016, which starts in April, informed sources were quoted as saying by The Japan News on October 21.
This is partly because discussions on introducing a reduced tax rate to cushion the impact of the consumption tax increase from 8 percent to 10 percent in April 2017 are expected to take a long time.
Another reason is that the government and ruling bloc hope to avoid the public feeling a heavier tax burden from the beer tax change ahead of the House of Councillors election in summer next year, the sources said.
Currently, a tax of ¥77 per 350 millilitres is imposed on beer, ¥47 on “happoshu” low-malt quasi-beer and ¥28 on so-called third-segment quasi-beer drinks with little or no malt content.
In its fiscal 2015 tax reform package, the ruling camp said that the differences in taxes affect the product development and sales volumes of beer and lead to lower tax revenue.
Against this background, the government has been considering narrowing the tax differences gradually and introducing a unified tax of about ¥55.
But some ruling bloc officials are now concerned about raising taxes on

Vietnam: Alcohol and beer consumption increasing every year
|
While alcohol consumption in other countries has barely changed in the past decade, the number of people consuming alcohol and beer is increasing every year in Viet Nam, Viet Nam News reported on October 20.
According to Pham Thi Hoang Anh, director of non-governmental organisation HealthBridge, Viet Nam consumes over 3 billion litres of beer and nearly 68 million litres of alcohol each year, costing US$3 billion a year.
In 2005, the average consumption of alcohol per capita of Vietnamese adults was at 3.8 litres per person, but this figure doubled to 6.6 litres per person in the following year.
A recent survey shows 57.72 per cent of Vietnamese households often use alcohol while rich families and highly educated people have shown a quantum leap in their consumption.
The survey also showed that alcohol and beer are on their regular daily food list, and not just on holidays.

EU: Study finds out the highest prices for pint of beer are paid in Sweden, Denmark, and France
|
The average cost of a pint of beer in the UK is GBP 3.46 (some EUR 4.7), more than three times higher than in Romania, where the same pint costs GBP 1 (EUR 1.36).
The Czech Republic, which is famous for its high beer output and consumption, has the lowest beer price out of 13 European countries, only GBP 0.72 (EUR 1), according to an infographic made by British real estate consultancy firm Citybase Apartments.
Romania has the second lowest price for the beer pint. Beer is also cheap in Belgium (GBP 1.27), Lithuania (GBP 1.30), the Netherlands (GBP 1.69), and Spain (GBP 1.74).
On the other hand, the highest prices for the pint of beer are in Sweden (GBP 5), Denmark (GBP 4.7), and France (GBP 4.66), the same analysis shows.

USA: US senators to hold hearing on AB InBev-SABMiller deal
|
The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee's antitrust subcommittee will hold a hearing to discuss Anheuser-Busch Inbev SA's plans to buy rival SABMiller PLC, two senators said on October 20.
The world's biggest brewer, Anheuser-Busch InBev, and SABMiller, the world's No. 2, said in mid-October that they had agreed on terms for a deal that is expected to top $100 billion (65 billion pounds).
Senator Mike Lee, a Utah Republican and chairman of the Senate's antitrust panel, announced the hearing along with the top Democrat, Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Reuters reported.
No date or other details of the hearing were given.

South Africa: South African unions want to block takeover of SABMiller by AB InBev
|
Powerful unions in South Africa have called on competition regulators to block the £68 billion takeover of SABMiller by Anheuser-Busch InBev, This Is Money reported on October 20.
London-listed SAB is Africa’s biggest brewer with a heritage dating back 120 years. But workers’ groups in South Africa fear the deal will trigger job cuts.
Budweiser owner InBev has a track record of growing by debt-fuelled acquisitions and repaying loans through fierce cost-cutting.
South Africa’s Food and Allied Workers Union (FAWU) said it would oppose the merger as did the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu).
It said the government, regulators and pension funds should not agree to the takeover, which would create the world’s largest brewer, bringing together a host of lagers including Stella Artois, Peroni and Budweiser.
The deal would also trigger a huge payday for SAB chief executive Alan Clark, who stands to walk away with £70 million from the shares and options he holds.
It is possible that the government could block the deal if it looks like jobs may be affected, or the amount of taxes collected reduced.
A delay is more likely while specific assurances are negotiated. SAB employs around 8,800 workers in South Africa and contributed £780 million

Cyprus: Beer sales up 3.05% in January-September this year

Beer sales in Cyprus recorded a 3.05% increase on an annual basis between January and September this year, reaching 28.28 million litres, compared to 27.44 million litres during the same period in 2014. At the same time beer exports were up by 23.3%, FG News reported on October 19.
Data released by the Cyprus Statistical Service on beer deliveries for local consumption shows that deliveries were up in the warmest months of the year, with July in the lead with 4.7 million litres and August following with 4.42 million.
Consumption equals on average 39 litres per person if one takes into consideration the 2011 census of 705,111 of people in the age group of 15 to 64.

Australia: Coopers Brewery not really interested in expanding imported beers portfolio
|
The managing director of Australia's third-largest beer company, Coopers Brewery, says there might not be room for any extra imported beer brands in his portfolio if any were to spring free in Australia from the proposed global A$146 billion merger of Anheuser-Busch InBev and SABMiller, The Sydney Morning Herald reported on October 20.
Tim Cooper says Coopers has been able to deliver solid growth from the Carlsberg brand and Kronenbourg 1664, which it took over from Foster's Group in 2012 under a licensing deal following the A$12.3 billion takeover of Foster's by SABMiller.
"It's been growing every year," Dr Cooper said of the Carlsberg brand, which is the flagship imported brand.
Coopers also has the Japanese brand Sapporo in its international portfolio.
"They both keep us pretty busy," he said.
Foster's surrendered the licences to Carlsberg, Corona and Stella Artois in the space of a few months after the takeover by SABMiller under change of control clauses. Arch rival Lion took on Corona, which is the No 1 imported beer in Australia and has 5.9 per cent of the total market by volume, and Stella Artois.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission says it will take into account a number of factors, including imported beer

South Korea: Shortage of recycled glass bottles forces brewers to cut production
|
A shortage of recycled glass bottles has hit South Korea’s Hite-Jinro, Oriental Brewery (OB) and other alcohol companies, forcing them to cut production ahead of the year-end party season, according to industry officials quoted by Korea Times on October 21.
The officials blame the government for its plan to hike bottle deposits in January, which they say has encouraged consumers and retailers to hoard empty glass bottles to receive higher deposits from alcohol companies next year.
Makers of soju, beer and other alcoholic beverages are expected to further slash production in November and December, because of the worsening bottle shortage, when alcohol demand is at its peak.
According to the Korea Alcohol & Liquor Industry Association (KALIA), the average recovery rate of glass bottles at liquor companies stood at 78.9 percent in September, down sharply from 96.8 percent a year earlier.
The association projects that the recycling rate will further decline in the fourth quarter, saying more consumers, junk shops and retailers will hold onto empty bottles until January to get higher deposits from brewers and distillers.
On Sept. 3, the Ministry of Environment unveiled the revised recycling promotion bill, stipulating that the amount of deposits consumers can get for returning empty liquor bottles to

Ireland: Irish distilleries want more local malting barley
|
The surge in whiskey sales may not be having an impact on grain prices but it is delivering increased demand for malting barley, The Irish Independent reported on October 21.
Irish whiskey exports are worth €300 mln a year but Irish Farmers' Association (IFA) grain committee chairman, Liam Dunne, says not all Irish whiskey under production is being made with Irish grain.
"We would like to see that Irish produced whiskey has the maximum amount of native grains in it instead of importing other grains such as maize.
"The guys (distillers) themselves have to make up their own minds about what they want to put into it. That's what decides what the whiskey is going to be like afterwards and we're not in a position to interfere in telling them what should be in their mash.
"We would like to think that if they want to put Irish on the bottle, and it is a growing brand, they should have it as Irish as possible," he said.
Mr Dunne added that Ireland is capable of growing plenty more barley to match the excelling industry.
"Our capacity to grow malting barley is not limited - we can grow a lot more of it," said Mr Dunne.
