Contributions of Hop Hard Resins to Beer Quality
ABSTRACT
The brewing value of hops (Humulus lupulus) is primarily attributed to the flavor- and bitter-active compounds found in the resins. These resins are synthesized and accumulated in the lupulin glands of the female hop cones. Early work on the fractionation of hop resins, based on the solubility of resins in various organic solvents, classified them into soft resins and hard resins. The hard resin is mainly composed by oxidation products insoluble in hexane. Hitherto, research has primarily focused on studying the impact on beer properties of the major hop bitter acids (alpha- and beta-acids) present in the soft resin. Therefore, little information is available on the functionality of the hard resin and for years it has been considered of no brewing value. Further the exact role of the hard resins in the brewing process is not well understood. For these reasons, a detailed study of the hard resins contributions to beer quality was performed. Brewing trials were conducted in which hop pellets were replaced with resin rich extracts. Thereby it was possible to establish the brewing potential of the hop hard resin. There is evidence to suggest that further degradation products were formed upon vigorous boiling of the hard resin. It is believed that upon extended storage periods these ultimate oxidation products are also formed. From the analytical data it was established that the hard resins positively contribute to the foam stabilizing properties. Furthermore, in the different sensory evaluations of the fresh beers, the hard resins proved to impact all analyzed attributes. With increasing hard resin concentrations, higher bitter intensities were recorded. The perceived bitterness of the hard resin beers suggested that the hard resins have a high bittering potential. Finally, at high hard resin concentrations a pleasant bitterness was produced and the overall flavor stability of the beers was high.

USA: The Boston Beer Company, Inc. reports first quarter 2013 financial results
|
The Boston Beer Company, Inc. reported first quarter 2013 net revenue of $135.9 mln, an increase of $22.7 mln or 20%, over the same period last year, mainly due to core shipment growth of 18%.
Net income for the first quarter was $6.9 mln, or $0.51 per diluted share, a decrease of $0.6 mln, or $0.05 per diluted share, from the first quarter of 2012. This decrease was primarily due to higher cost of goods and increased investments in advertising, promotional and selling expenses that were only partially offset by net revenue increases and a favorable tax settlement in the first quarter of 2013.
Jim Koch, Chairman and Founder of the Company, commented, “I am pleased that The Boston Beer Company achieved record depletions in the quarter as the health of our cider and tea brands offset slight softness with Samuel Adams. This is a testament to the hard work of our employees and wholesalers, and our continued brand innovation efforts. While we continue to experience increased competitive activities from both domestic specialty and craft beer brands that have made it challenging to grow Samuel Adams as fast as we would like, we remain positive about the future of craft beer

China: Enthusiast forecast rapid expansion for craft beer industry in the next five to ten years
|
China's microbrew enthusiasts are aiming for a revolution in the drinking habits of the most populous nation, China Daily reported on May, 3.
Bad Monkey Brewery in the popular tourist town of Dali in Yunnan may be an anomaly in rural China, but it's part of a small yet nascent business: craft-beermaking in the world's most populous nation - and the biggest beer-drinking country.
"Our company has witnessed the changes in consumer preferences first-hand in China since 2003," Carl Oakley and Scott Williams, owners of Bad Monkey, wrote in a comment in response to a Wall Street Journal article about craft brewers collaborating in China. "[We have found] many Chinese drinkers who are adventurous enough and affluent enough to pay more for a tastier, higher quality brew."
Other craft beer companies in China include Chengdu Beer and Harvest Beer in Chengdu, Sichuan province; Strong Ale Works in Qingdao, Shandong province; The Old Brewery in Yangzhou and Nanjing Craft Brewing Co in Nanjing, Jiangsu province. The strongest presence in the emerging craft-beer revolution is in Shanghai and Beijing, where six - soon to be seven - homegrown craft breweries exist.

Canada & China: Canada’s Russell Breweries launching a test brewery and brewpub restaurant in Hefei, China this summer
|
Further to the agreement signed with FVI Capital Inc. ("FVI") in October 2012, Russell Breweries Inc. ("RBI") announced on May, 2 that a test brewery and brewpub restaurant is scheduled to open this summer in Hefei, China. Hefei is the largest city of Anhui Province of Eastern China with a population of 5.7 million. It is a booming industrial city that has had very strong economic growth and is open to international investment.
"Our partners in China have broken ground on building its test brewery and adjoining brewpub-style restaurant in the city of Hefei," said Brian Harris, CEO Russell Breweries Inc. "Scheduled to open this summer, the brewery will be the first in the region to offer high-end, small-batch beers to North American craft brewing standards."
On October 9th, 2012, Russell Breweries Inc. signed a definitive agreement with FVI Capital Inc. for a non-exclusive technology and trade mark license agreement to import, produce, package, use, market, sell and distribute Russell brands in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

New Zealand: Interest in craft beers continues to grow despite a decline in overall beer market
|
Interest in craft brewing continues to grow in New Zealand, despite a decline in the overall beer market, Stuff.co.nz reported on May, 5.
David Cryer, founder of Cryer Malts which supplies the country's brewers with specialty malts from all over the world, said in the 12 months to the start of April, sales of craft beer were up just over 30 per cent on the corresponding period in 2011.
What makes that doubly impressive is that against a backdrop of a weak economy and high unemployment, the total beer market continued to decline.
It was down by 2.4 per cent year-on-year, said Cryer.
Craft beer is a term widely applied, but in general stands for traditional beers brewed by smaller, aspiring brewers who seek to produce brews that are distinct in quality and character.
Much to the annoyance of some, though, the craft beer figures include the Macs, Monteiths and Boundary Road brands run by large overseas-owned brewers Lion Nathan, DB and Asahi.
Some see these as "faux" craft beer. More generously, others said they help promote wider awareness of the craft styles available.
Figures from Statistics New Zealand show a dramatic decline in beer sales in contrast to

USA: Constellation Brands not expecting big change in Corona and Modelo Especial pricing strategy later this year
|
Constellation Brands Inc has not yet decided whether to raise prices on beers like Corona Extra and Modelo Especial later this year, but its chief financial officer said the pricing strategy should be no different than before despite the change in ownership, Reuters reported on May, 3.
"We'll see what happens with market share and commodity costs and all that kind of stuff. But we don't really see a big change in the beer-pricing strategy from history," CFO Robert Ryder said.
Constellation is taking over the U.S. business of Grupo Modelo in a $4.75 billion deal required as part of Anheuser-Busch InBev's $20.1 billion takeover of Mexico's largest brewer. U.S. regulators were very concerned that if AB InBev owned Modelo in the United States, it would raise prices for consumers more aggressively than Modelo's U.S. importer, Crown Imports, had in the past.
Crown is a joint venture between Constellation and Modelo and Constellation is buying out its partner. Ryder noted that the management team that made pricing decisions before will stay the same.
Corona is the top-selling imported beer in the United States. Its sales have been helped by the fact that Crown often has not raised prices as much as its larger rivals,

US & Australia: Sale of GrainCorp to ADM one step closer to completion
|
The sale of east coast grain handler GrainCorp to US food processor Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) is one step closer to completion after the company announced due diligence on the deal has been completed, ABC Online reported on March, 1.
After six months of rejected offers, GrainCorp directors have given their support for a deal worth more than A$3 billion which would see shareholders receive A$13.20 per share.
The deal still requires the approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board, the Competition and Consumer Commission and the Chinese Ministry of Commerce.
Chinese approval can be a lengthy process, with GrainCorp chairman Don Taylor estimating that the sale could take up to six months to complete.
The sale also requires the approval of 50.1 per cent of GrainCorp shareholders.
Shareholders will receive an additional dividend of 3.5 Australian cents per share for each month the sale process continues beyond October 1.

Australia: AWB hoping to wind up 2012-13 barley pools by July
|
AWB hopes to wind up its 2012-13 barley pools by July to take advantage of current good prices.
The company said it expected prices to decline in the second half of the year as the northern hemisphere crop comes on to the market, Weekly Times Now reported on May, 8.
AWB said barley prices were holding up on the east coast of Australia but the company left estimated pool returns unchanged today.
AWB manager Richard Williams said the EPRs for South Australian barley have dropped A$5 a tonne due to limited domestic demand and limited export capacity holders.
“We continue to sell remaining volumes mainly into Asia and domestically in Victoria as barley is being used in feed rations at the expense of stronger domestic wheat prices,” Mr Williams said.
The Victorian EPR for Hindmarsh barley was left at A$284 a tonne, FOB, while the return for Feed 1 grade was estimated at A$281 a tonne.
The SA EPR for Feed 1 barley was reduced to A$276 a tonne, FOB.
