Scientific Digest
NO OXYGEN WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES PLEASE!
ABSTRACT
We have to breathe and to sweat to live but beer
doesn't and shouldn't. Intensive research has been
carried out to identify the staling mechanisms in lager
beers. However, the impact of dissolved oxygen on
dry-hopped beers is poorly investigated. US
researchers evaluated the impact of dissolved oxygen on the sensory and hop volatile profiles of dry-hopped
beer during storage. Commercially-brewed dry-hopped
beer was dosed with oxygen in a controlled fashion
to create beers with a range of dissolved oxygen
concentrations from approximately 40 to 250 mg/L and
then stored under chilled or accelerated storage conditions.
Sensory results identified storage temperature as having the
greatest effect on aroma during storage. Dissolved oxygen
concentration was observed to have a lesser, but significant,
impact at both high and low storage temperatures after
only two weeks of aging. Higher temperature and dissolved
oxygen concentrations resulted in decreased tropical, citrus,
and hoppy characteristics and the expression of malty, dried
fruit, and cardboard aromas. However, by chemical analysis
it was observed that hop-derived monoterpenes were not
significantly affected by treatment temperature or dissolved
oxygen, suggesting that the stale character expression
comes from alternate sources such as lipid oxidation or
Strecker aldehyde formation.

USA: Beer volume down 2.4% in the past five years
|
Beer is in a bear market, CBS Boston reported on December 7.
Domestic brews, such as Budweiser, Coors Light and Miller Light, once dominated the US beverage market. But sales are declining while alternatives are spiking. Drinkers think beer is stale, compared to the innovative new brands and creative concepts emerging from other places, so they are craving a variety of other boozy drinks, including premium liquor, canned wine, spiked seltzers and pre-made bottled cocktails.
In 2018, alcohol consumption in the United States dropped for the third-straight year, according to IWSR Drinks Market Analysis. And beer is to blame: sales of a case of beer declined 1.5%. For the past five years, beer volume in the US declined 2.4%, the firm said.
The trend doesn’t appear to be reversing itself. Sales of domestic beer slipped 4.6% between October 2018 and October 2019, according to Nielsen. Microbrew and craft beers are also in a minor slump, down 0.4%, despite Big Beer companies scooping them up left and right (AnheuserBusch just purchased Craft Brew Alliance, which makes Redhook Ale).
But people are still drinking — a lot. Alternative drink categories that both firms tracked have all grown. With traditional beer getting the boot, here’s what people

USA: Brewers Association highlights continued growth of craft beer sector in 2019
|
As 2019 comes to a close, the Brewers Association (BA) — the not-for-profit trade association dedicated to small and independent American brewers — takes a retrospective look at the contributions and major milestones of the country’s craft brewing community during the past year. Continued growth, record brewery count, and craft beers’ museum debut are a few of the highlights from a memorable year for the industry.
“Small and independent breweries continue to be essential contributors to communities across the country, finding new ways to innovate and thrive amid evolving consumer preference and a competitive and maturing beverage market,” said Julia Herz, craft beer program director, Brewers Association. “It’s been an exciting year for both brewers and beer lovers alike and we look forward to celebrating new beerworthy moments in 2020.”
Of note in 2019:
Growth Amidst Competition: Craft brewing production grew in 2019, but as with 2018, the continued increase in breweries meant that the market also grew more competitive, particularly in widely distributed channels. The BA 2019 midyear survey measured 4% production growth year-over-year for small and independent brewers, slightly down from 5% in 2018. IRI Group scan data numbers through mid-November showed 2% growth for BA-defined craft brewers, similar to 2018

UK: Heineken 0.0 sees 123% increase in volume and value on-trade sales
|
While Beck’s Blue is still the best selling low and no-alcohol beer in the UK on-trade, Heineken’s offer more than doubled both in volume and value in 2019, the Morning Advertiser reported on December 5.
According to CGA data, Beck’s Blue is still the biggest low and no-alcohol beer in Britain’s pubs after a 3.8% increase in volume and a 6.1% boost in value in 2019 – taking its total sales value to more than £20 mln.
However, 123% increases to both volume and value have seen second-placed Heineken 0.0 close the gap – selling £7.7 mln more of its alcohol-free variant in the past 12 months to take its total sales to £13.9 mln.
The pair are by far and away the best-selling no and low-alcohol beers in British pubs, with the overall sales value of third-place pour San Miguel 0,0 reaching £2.4 mln in the past year after respective 27.7% and 30.9% increases to volume and value.
Rounding off the top five best-sellers are Erdinger Alcoholfrei and Bavaria 0.0 in fourth and fifth respectively with the latter breaking into this year’s Drinks List after achieving 43% increases to both volume and value – the

South Africa: Competition authorities reject Distell’s complaint against AB InBev
|
Distell is big enough to go toe to toe with AB InBev. But the brewer tried to use merger conditions designed to protect small producers to get ahead of its competitor, The Africa Report said on December 5.
That, in essence, is the South African Competition Commission’s reasoning in dismissing Distell’s referral of AB InBev for breach of merger conditions. The dispute centres on the definition of “ambient space” and exclusive stadium agreements entered into by AB InBev.
Distell, listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, is the continent’s leading producer of wines, spirits and ciders. It is also the world’s second-biggest producer of ciders.
When the competition authorities granted conditional approval for AB InBev’s merger with SABMiller in late 2016, they stipulated that the global brewer must make provision for a 10% allocation of fridge space for rivals at outlets.
According to the Commission, in the context of an outlet, “ambient space” refers to shelving, floor space and cold storage. This provision was intended to ensure AB InBev does not abuse its dominant market position to muscle out smaller players.
Furthermore, competition authorities directed AB InBev not to induce outlet owners to exclude competitors from storing products.
Distell contended that the definition of “ambient space” is

Argentina: New president facing speed bump from crop industry
|
Alberto Fernandez takes over as Argentina's president on December 10 with hopes of bolstering exports to spur growth and pay debts. But no sooner than the wheels start turning on his four-year term, he faces a speed bump from the crop industry, which accounts for more than a third of shipments, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Drought has ravaged the wheat and barley crop on the Pampas growing belt that rakes in key export revenues over the new-year period. Wheat is chiefly sold to Brazilian millers. Barley goes to Saudi Arabia for camel feed. And most of what is left to harvest on parched fields has already been traded by savvy farmers, meaning Fernandez's plan to grab his share by raising export taxes will be largely futile.
Take Claudio Sanchez, a grower in Frapal, Buenos Aires province. His wheat plants, spread across 4,000 hectares (about 10,000 acres), are expected to yield 40% less than last year and he's already sold about 70% of the grain still in the ground to exporters in forward contracts. That means he pays the current export tax of nearly 7% rather than the higher rate that's expected under Fernandez.
The drought has put prognosticators who were expecting a
