Scientific Digest
HOPS MAKE YEAST HAPPY!
ABSTRACT
In 1893 Morris and Brown reported, "We are now to
ascertain how far the sugars of the hop are accountable
for the after-fermentation induced of dry-hopping." This
phenomenon is familiar to craft brewers and in 1941 Walker
proposed that a maltase enzyme in hops is responsible for
this. This U.S. research team was able to confirm with dry-hopping an increase in VDK production and a decrease in gravity. Testing at different temperatures, they were able to
show that the secondary fermentation that takes place at
70 degrees F is reduced when the temperature is lowered to 60 degrees F
before dry-hopping.

Asia: Heineken betting on Formula One to reclaim leadership in Asia and worldwide
|
Heineken is betting on Formula One to help it reclaim the title of leading global lager from Budweiser, a strategy that depends on broadening the sport’s appeal in Asia and persuading fans to pay more for their beer, Reuters reported on October 24.
Heineken has grown strongly in Asia over the past five years, but the sales boost was driven by its cheaper Singapore-based Tiger beer brand rather than its higher-margin namesake lager, which it promotes at the Grand Prix.
Asian drinkers have also turned to its cheaper rivals Budweiser and Tuborg. Heineken brand sales have grown more slowly in the region than globally for the past three years and fell 7.1 percent in the first half of 2017.
The Dutch brewer, Budweiser’s Belgian owner Anheuser-Busch InBev and Danish Carlsberg, which makes Tuborg, need regions like Asia to cut reliance on lower-margin Europe, or North America, where craft brewers are muscling in.
Heineken has ruled out an all-out scrap for market share, leaving it vulnerable to rivals selling “premium” products at a lower price. Formula One presents a risky choice in a region where some countries have dropped the race, although Asia had as many races as the sport’s heartland Europe in 2017.

Australia: Coopers Brewery launches biggest share buyback in more than 10 years
|
The family-owned Coopers Brewery has launched its biggest share buyback in more than 10 years, with a price of A$375 per share that values the largest Australian brewer at more than A$436 million, The Australian reported on October 23.
Coopers has agreed to buy back shares from its investors a number of times over the last decade but the current offer, seeking to buy 8 per cent of the brewer, is its biggest since 2006. It is supported by record low interest rates that make corporate debt very cheap and a buyback an efficient use of capital.
In a document sent to Coopers shareholders, and obtained by The Australian, the brewer has also revealed to investors its latest unaudited accounts, which show the strains of a difficult trading environment for beer companies.
The unaudited accounts provided to Coopers investors show sales of A$253.6 mln for fiscal 2017, up slightly from A$245.9 mln in 2016. Coopers was forced to further impair its US home-brewing business, Mr Beer, to the tune of A$8 mln, on top of a A$7.5 mln impairment in 2016. Group net profit for 2017 was down slightly to A$34.95 mln, from A$35.67 mln in the prior year.

India: Vijay Mallya persuaded to step down from United Breweries board - sources
|
Vijay Mallya has been persuaded to step down from the United Breweries Ltd (UBL) board and he will propose a successor following a Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) order that’s made him ineligible to be director of any listed company, several people close to the development said. The move has also been prompted by the dwindling possibility of his voluntary return to India. He hasn’t revealed the identity of his nominee, said the persons cited above, The Economic Times reports.
The regulator’s decision came after lenders declared him a “wilful defaulter.” The Articles of Association between Heineken and Mallya, joint venture partners in United Breweries, entitles him to be UBL’s chairman for life and remain a non-retiring director, unless he nominates someone to replace him or voluntarily steps down.
Mallya did not respond to an email seeking comment. Heineken declined to comment.
UBL has nominated CY Pal, one of the directors, as acting chairman. The board has been pushing for appointment of a chairman, citing corporate governance norms. “The board is functioning smoothly and operations are in good shape. But it is not the best corporate governance move to have an acting chairman, especially when

The Czech Republic & the Philippines: Budvar beer to be marketed as Czechvar in the Philippines
|
The Czech Republic’s signature beer will soon be available in the Philippines, the Business Mirror reported on October 22.
Globally known as Budvar (after its home city with the German name Budweis) the beer will be marketed locally as Czechvar, it is reported.
The brand is brewed by Budejovicky Budvar, the only state-owned brewery in the Czech Republic, which produced its first batch in 1895.
According to the Czech Embassy in Manila, “The recent entry into the [Philippine] market provides an opportunity for the Filipinos not only to taste the real traditional Czech beer but also [for them] to further explore the culture that can be viewed through the lens of traditional crafts and history. It is more than safe to assume that the Czechs know their beer as the Czech Republic tops the per-capita beer-drinking table for 23 consecutive years, with over 140 litres per person.”
Also, it said that, “The aim for high-end beers available in the market is to provide [Filipinos] with new choices in the market and expand their palates. There is no better way to do this than by introducing a high-end, award-winning and traditional beer, such as Czechvar.”

South Korea: Diageo releases low-alcohol whiskey in response to growing preference for weaker drinks
|
Diageo Korea released a low-alcohol whiskey for the local market on October 24 in response to growing consumer preference for weaker drinks, the Korea JoongAng Daily reported.
The Korean affiliate of the British liquor maker launched W Signature 12, a blended whiskey with an alcohol content of 35 percent. The company said the whiskey has been blended by world-renowned masters Douglas Murray, Craig Wallace and Caroline Martin using whiskeys that have matured in Scotland for at least 12 years.
“The value of whiskey made out of years of maturation is unquestionable,” Cho Kil-soo, CEO of Diageo Korea, said at a press event on October 24 at the British Embassy. “I believe W Signature 12 blended by global masters will become a safe choice for our consumers.”
On top of the deep tint coming from years of aging, W Signature 12 is topped with what Murray describes as “triple smoothness,” offering sweet flavor and mild texture.
Diageo Korea said it is targeting the “late millennial” generation in their mid-30s and 40s with its latest whiskey product. Hyun Bin, the 35-year-old heartthrob best known for his role in the television drama “Secret Garden,” will be the brand ambassador, and the bottle design, with shades of
