Scientific Digest


PLEASE MEET THE NEW MEMBERS OF THE HOP FAMILY

ABSTRACT
Boomerang, Gaia, Country and Jazz are the names of 4 new hop varieties coming out of the Czech breeding program. They were developed from UK and continental European breeding material and characterized with the classical flavour profiles of herbal, woody and citrus notes. Boomerang and Gaia have high oil and alpha contents (1.5-3ml/100g and 10- 15% alpha). Country and Jazz have lower oil and alpha contents (0.4-1.5ml/100g and 3-7% alpha). Welcome, and good luck to our new friends. Competition is high!

Brewery news India: United Breweries to introduce offerings in all price categories
Beer maker United Breweries is planning to introduce offerings spanning all price points. It also plans to get into the craft beer segment, BusinessLine reported on May 23.

According to Samar Singh Sheikhawat, Chief Marketing Officer, the compaby will look at more launches in the super-premium category (within this fiscal).

Some of the premium brands that UB would like to introduce include the Dutch brand Amstel (from Heineken stable) — its first super premium strong beer — and compete with the likes of Carlsberg Elephant and other global ones. Its craft beer, in both mild and strong categories, is also expected to be launched within this year.

“Wherever there is the potential consumer for beer, we will have an offering from our portfolio to address that consumer. New products, marketing budgets and upping distribution is what we are looking at,” he told BusinessLine on the sidelines of a CII event.

It will look to grow its market share by expanding into more outlets with its current portfolio across Kingfisher and Heineken.

Some of the focus offerings will include Kingfisher Ultra, Kingfisher Ultra Max, Kingfisher and Heineken, apart from Kinghfisher Storm — which has already been well received.

Brewery news India & Nepal: United Breweries launches its Kingfisher beer in Nepal
Tying up with Yeti Brewery, Indian beverage company United Breweries Ltd announced on May 18 the official launch of Kingfisher Beer in Nepal, The Himalayan Times reported.

Shekhar Ramamurthy, the managing director of United Breweries Ltd, told The Himalayan Times that United Breweries Ltd aims to be a part of the burgeoning beer industry of Nepal.

“We always wanted to be in Nepal and we had a brewery here a few years back that produced the popular Star Beer. However, it was shut down due to some labour issues,” informed Ramamurthy, adding that United Breweries has once again forayed into Nepal to become a part of the country’s growing beer industry.

Citing that Nepal is an important market, as the beer industry here has been growing rapidly for the past few years, Ramamurthy said that Kingfisher is a popular beer brand among youths and will target the same group in Nepal.

Ramamurthy believes that though per capita beer consumption is low in Nepal, the annual industry growth rate of almost 25 per cent witnessed in recent years has developed Nepal into a strategic and potential beer market.

On Kingfisher’s plans to create its space in a market brimming with other brands, Ramamurthy said, “Kingfisher is ...More info on site


Brewery news Romania: Ursus Breweries launches Japan’s Asahi Super Dry beer in Romania
Ursus Breweries launches Asahi Super Dry, Japan’s number one beer in the world and beer number one in Japan, a fine and refreshing beer, perfected by Japanese technology, the Business Review reported on May 23.

Asahi Super Dry is the first product of the Asahi Breweries Europe Ltd. portfolio launched on the Romanian market under the license that complements the Ursus Breweries super premium brand portfolio.

Asahi Super Dry is a non-pasteurized blonde beer with a complex flavor made from the finest ingredients that gives it a sophisticated flavor, fine, fresh and refreshing (Super Dry). In addition to the basic ingredients, water, malt, hops and yeast, Asahi Super Dry also contains a unique ingredient specific to Japanese culture, namely rice, which gives it a delicate taste and complements the flavor of the product.

”Known as Karakuchi in Japanese, the Super Dry and Refreshing Super Dry is certainly the distinguishing feature of the Asahi Super Dry brand on the Romanian market. In 1987, when it was launched in Japan, it produced a revelation in the beer category due to its unique taste and especially because it was easy to drink and could be enjoyed by any type of food, even fish or seafood, ...More info on site


Brewery news USA & South Korea: South Korea’s HiteJinro accused of copying Miller Lite logo
MillerCoors has recently filed an opposition suit against HiteJinro over an application the South Korean brewery filed last year to register the new logo for Hite lager as a trademark in the U.S., according to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

The U.S. brewing giant has accused the Korean firm of copying the Miller Lite logo.

If the USPTO rules in favour of MillerCoors, HiteJinro will face a setback in its expansion in the U.S. market and will pay a significant amount of money for the damages the U.S. brewery claims.

HiteJinro has already spent a huge amount of money hiring attorneys for registering the logo, according to industry officials.

The Korean firm, which filed with the USPTO an intent-to-use application on February 14 last year, was about to register the logo for Hite as a U.S. trademark, because the trademark office published the trademark in its official gazette on January 9 this year.

The USPTO planned to approve the registration, if there was no objection by May 9.

However, MillerCoors filed an opposition suit that day, saying, “The word Hite in the logo is stylised in a Germanic font that is nearly identical to that of MillerCoors’ Lite.”

“The applicant and MillerCoors operate in ...More info on site

Hops news Hungary: Heineken Hungary teams up with charity organization to revive local hops and help the poorest
Brewery Heineken Hungária is teaming up with charity Hungarian Interchurch Aid to revive local hops and provide a cash crop to some of the countryʼs poorest. New Minister of Agriculture István Nagy participated at the signing ceremony of the cooperation agreement, the Budapest Business Journal reported on May 23.

The Dutch brewing giantʼs local unit is donating HUF30 million to Hungarian Interchurch Aid, which will use the money to add hops to crops grown in a model rehabilitation program for underprivileged families in Kastélyosdombó (252 km southwest of Budapest, close to the border with Croatia), national news agency MTI reported.

Nagy noted that the area on which hops are grown in Hungary fell to just five hectares in 2011, from 550-550 hectares in the 1980s.

Heineken Hungária CEO José Matthijsse said that the brewer uses only locally grown barley for its "Soproni" brand beer.

Last year tensions arose between Heineken and the Hungarian government regarding a trademark dispute between the Dutch brewer and a Hungarian-owned craft brewery in Romania. The government applied added pressure by citing a ban on Communist and Nazi-era symbols to protest over Heinekenʼs long-used red star in its logo. It seems now, however, that all concerns have been smoothed out.

Whisky news Japan: Some whiskeys in short supply due to increasing popularity overseas
Some Japanese whiskeys are in short supply due to their increasing popularity in overseas markets and a recent domestic boom of highballs, or whiskey and soda, The Japan News reported on May 21.

Under such circumstances, Suntory Spirits Ltd., an affiliate of Suntory Holdings Ltd., announced plans to suspend sales of two of its whiskeys — Hakushu 12 Years and Hibiki 17 Years — from June. While makers are preparing to increase production, the shortage will likely last for some time because of the lengthy whiskey aging process.

Since the suspension of sales of Hibiki and Hakushu was reported, customers have flocked to the whiskey corner at the Kintetsu department store flagship shop at the Abeno Harukas commercial complex in Osaka. “I’m shocked as they are my favorites,” said a 43-year-old company employee, who had looked in vain for the products at several stores.

The suggested retail prices are set at ¥8,500 for the Hakushu 12 Years and ¥12,000 for the Hibiki 17 Years, both excluding consumption tax. The department store has restricted the sale of the Hakushu 12 Years to one bottle per customer over the past few years and began refusing to accept reservations for the product about a month ago.
