Scientific Digest


HOW ABOUT PRODUCING A DRY HOPPED ALCOHOL FREE BEER?

ABSTRACT
Alcohol-free beer and functional drinks are two strongly growing markets within the beverage sector. The success of alcohol-free beer and functional drinks with relaxing, stress reducing properties might be largely based on their health-benefits. Additionally, exotic flavors along with a high product quality are also key value propositions of these products. In this study, the main potential health benefits of alcohol-free dry-hopped beer and dry-hopped relaxation drinks are reviewed and the main target consumer groups are described.

Brewery news Thailand: New alcohol excise rates expected to drive drinkers of spirits to beer
Thailand's overall alcohol consumption is expected to be flat this year thanks to low purchasing power and more morose consumers, as well as a recent hike of excise tax, the Bangkok Post reported on December 7.

According to Thanakorn Kuptajit, president of the Thai Alcohol Beverage Business Association (Tabba), the new excise tax rates for alcohol, which came into force on Sept 16, have driven drinkers of spirits to beer.

But he said higher beer consumption is yet to offset the drop in spirits.

The new excise tax is aimed at making state tax collection more transparent and fair by conforming to international standards as well as protecting public health.

The new tax rates for liquor is based on the volume of alcohol content, meaning higher alcohol concentrations will be subject to higher taxes.

"The spirits companies have been adjusting themselves with price strategies. We expect the spirits industry will fare better in 2018,'' said Mr Thanakorn, also the corporate relations director of Diageo Moet Hennessy Thailand, the distributor of Johnnie Walker spirits in Thailand.

The quantity of alcoholic drinks consumed in Thailand have increased annually in the past two years. In 2015, 2.86 billion litres of alcoholic beverage were consumed, a 0.6% growth year-on-year; while ...More info on site


Brewery news USA: MillerCoors CEO says Miller Lite has passed Budweiser for third most popular beer nationally
For MillerCoors, there's still a long way to the top to reach the domestic dominance of AB InBev's signature offering, Bud Light.

Still, MillerCoors CEO Gavin Hattersley excitedly shared on December 8 that Miller Lite has passed AB InBev's "Great American Lager," Budweiser, for third most popular nationally, behind Bud and Coors light brands. Hattersley said that Miller Lite and Coors Light have been steadily gaining in domestic markets, the Milwaukee Business Journal reported.

"Between Miller and Coors Light, we've taken share in the premium light category away from Bud Light," Hattersley told an audience of more than 350 Milwaukee-area business executives at the Milwaukee Business Journal's Power Breakfast at The Pfister Hotel in downtown Milwaukee. "We've been doing that now for two-and-a-half years, every single quarter."

Hattersley partially chalked that up to the way MillerCoors portrays its two main premium light beers in the market.

"We think our positioning of Miller Lite being the 'Original Lite Beer' and Coors Light being 'The World's Most Refreshing Beer' are great positions and we're building on those," Hattersley said.

It's not all about the two signature brews at MillerCoors these days however, and Hattersley was sure to point out the other beers making inroads domestically for the ...More info on site


Brewery news Australia: AB InBev’s purchase of Pirate Life reignites concerns about craft beer takeovers by global powerhouses
AB InBev’s AU$10 mln deal for South Australian craft brewer Pirate Life has reignited concerns over the number of independents being taken over by global powerhouses, Food Navigator Asia reported on December 6. Pirate Life, founded just in 2015, was crowned best craft brewery at Beer Cartel’s 2017 Australian Craft Beer Survey. It carries a portfolio of different styles of beer including stout, IPA, pale ale, golden ale and a mosaic.

The firm says the acquisition by AB InBev subsidiary Carlton & United Breweries has come at the right time.

“The reality is we have run out of capacity at Hindmarsh. With this partnership we’re in a fortunate position to upgrade to a new, bigger brewery while dedicating Hindmarsh to innovate and craft a whole range of new styles to make sure we keep pushing the boundaries and evolving,” said Jared Proudfoot, co-founder and chief brewer of Pirate Life.

The investment is said to enable further innovation for the Adelaide-based craft brewers. Apart from a new brewing facility, Pirate Life’s current brewery in Hindmarsh will be dedicated to creating new beers, including “sours, seasonal and barrel-aged products”.

Brewery news UK: Carlsberg UK launches its first limited-edition Christmas beer
Carlsberg UK launches its first Christmas beer - a first for the brand, which has not done a festive brew before, Inapub reported on December 6.

The limited edition will be exclusively available on draught in 29 Northampton pubs, with proceeds from sales donated to local charity, the Northamptonshire Community Foundation.

Master brewer Jon Elks has brewed the festive lager in the company's Northampton brewery.

It is described as having a, "full bodied taste with a balance of sweetness and bitterness" and is flavoured with Christmas spices, orange peel and cinnamon.

"This is the first time Carlsberg UK has brewed a Carlsberg beer for Christmas. We were inspired by our colleagues in Denmark, where the famous Tuborg Christmas beer, Julebryg, is so popular this time of year," said Liam Newton, vice president marketing at Carlsberg UK.

"We think beer-drinkers in Northamptonshire deserve a unique brew of their own and our brewers were proud to craft it for them."

The Christmas beer also has its own limited edition stemmed glass.

Barley news UK: Three new malting barley varieties added to the recommended spring barley list
UK’s arable growers aiming at the lucrative malting market have some new high yielding spring barleys in their armoury, unveiled in the latest Recommended Lists from the industry levy-funded Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board, The Scottish Farmer reported on December 7.

This year Lists have gained no less than 22 new varieties, all demonstrating continued improvements in yield, disease resistance and quality, while 27 varieties have been removed because they now fall short.

Three new specifically malting varieties have been added to the Spring Barley list – RGT Asteroid, LG Tomahawk and LG Diablo.

AHDB senior crop scientist Jenna Watts said: “There are now three very high performing new varieties on the list. LG Diablo which yields strongly in the north and is under test for brewing and malt distilling, LG Tomahawk which also yields very highly and is undergoing testing for malt distilling, and RGT Asteroid which is being tested for brewing, malt distilling and grain distilling.

“They all compare favourably with Concerto and Laureate in terms of yield and agronomic features.”

In trials in the north region, LG Diablo has yielded 109% compared to the control, LG Tomahawk yielded 107%, while RGT Asteroid is sitting at 102%. This compares with recently approved Laureate ...More info on site


Barley news Ukraine: Barley and wheat stocks as of November 1 lower than last year
According to the State Statistics Service, grain and pulse inventories in Ukraine totaled 24.23 mln tonnes as of November 1, 2017, or 10.6% less than at the same time last year (27.11 mln tonnes), UkrAgroConsult reported.

Wheat stocks as of the reporting date were down 4.2% year-on-year at 11.62 mln tonnes against 12.13 mln tonnes as of November 1, 2016. Barley stocks were down 28.3% year-on-year at some 1.98 mln tonnes (2.76 mln tonnes was in November 2016).

Corn inventories are also lower than last year. They totaled 9.23 mln tonnes as of the reporting date, or 12.4% less than last year (10.54 mln tonnes).

The decrease in grain inventories stems primarily from some crop downturn this year. In addition, barley and wheat exports were quite active in the first third of the season, unlike corn shipments.
