Scientific Digest
MORE ABOUT BITTERNESS IN DRY
HOPPED BEERS
ABSTRACT
A German research team developed a method to
quantify nine hop flavonoids in a single HPLC-MS/MS
run. By doing so they discovered that in dry hopped
beer trials, the flavour threshold concentrations for the
bitter components co-multifidol glucoside, quercetin
glucoside, and kaempferol glucoside (1.8, 0.9, and 0.5
mg/L, respectively) were exceeded, meaning that these
compounds may contribute to the bitterness of dry
hopped beers.

USA: 2017 seen as ‘especially slow’ for craft beer so far
|
Despite the fact that the number of beer brands has proliferated in the US, the number of drinkers has not. Sales have been flat for a few years and 2017 has been especially slow so far, the Economist reported on July 6.
The volumes of beer sold at stores for the three months to June 17th were 1% lower than in the same period last year, according to Nielsen, a market-research firm. Brewers are now waiting with some anxiety for data about sales during the July 4th holiday. “The start of the year has been as bad as I can remember,” says Trevor Stirling of Sanford C. Bernstein, a research firm.
The dip is the result of two problems, one old and one new. First, the consumption of wine and spirits is growing more quickly than that of beer, and has been for nearly 20 years. Women are drinking more booze but often prefer wine and spirits. Men are turning to a wider range of drinks, including whisky and wine.
The second difficulty is that after years of effervescent growth, craft beer has gone flat. Volumes grew in 2016, but half as quickly as in 2015. In the 13 weeks to June

Thailand: ThaiBev unlikely to suffer much from impending excise hike or year-long morning period
|
CIMB Research is maintaining its “add” recommendation on Thai Beverage (ThaiBev) with an unchanged target price of S$1.07, The Edge Markets reported on July 7.
In a report on July 6, analyst Jonathan Seow expresses the view that any near-term consumption weakness which may arise from Thailand’s year-long mourning period or its impending tax hike would be temporary for the beverage company.
“Thaibev’s share price took a beating after its 2QFY17 results disappointed, with net profit falling 23% y-o-y. However, the share price has somewhat recovered since. We had always taken the view that Thaibev was merely facing mini headwinds due to the mourning period and we expect consumption to normalise over time,” notes Seow.
“A recent grumble we have been hearing is whether the latest excise tax will result in weaker volumes. Note that the magnitude and exact details of the new excise tax have yet to be announced,” he continues.
“Nonetheless, our analysis of tax hikes on Thaibev’s sales volumes over the last decade shows that tax hikes do not necessarily result in a drop in volumes. Even if they do, volume declines are never sustained over a prolonged period and volumes eventually recover.”
Instead, the analyst believes the excise hike

Thailand: Microbreweries gaining entry into Thailand’s beer industry
|
Thailand's 150 billion-baht (S$6.1-billion) beer market is controlled by two large companies: Boon Rawd, producer of Singha, and ThaiBev, producer of Chang, which between them garner a 90 per cent market share.
Still, despite the odds stacked against them, microbrewers are gaining entry into the industry, brewing uniquely flavoured craft beer that retails at four to five times the price of common lager found in convenience shops, The Straits Times reported on July 7.
Mr Wichit Saiklao is an unlikely upstart, having failed on his first attempt to brew beer five years ago using a DIY home-brewing kit. He forgot to add the yeast.
He finally succeeded on his third attempt. "My friend said while drinking: 'Chit, am I sitting somewhere in Germany or in some Bavarian field?'"
After that, Mr Wichit, 46, an electrical engineer, was inspired to continue brewing from a friend's house on Koh Kret island, about 24 km up the Chao Phraya river from central Bangkok.
He thought he would pursue beer brewing as a hobby upon retirement. But his plan got pushed two decades forward as word spread and people started flocking to the island to sample his home brews, aptly named Chit Beer.
But he soon ran into another hitch.

Greece: Fine on Heineken upheld by Greek court
|
Greece’s Macedonian Thrace Brewery (MTB) welcomed a damning appeals court judgment against Heineken’s 98.8 percent-owned Greek operating company, saying this clearly supports its claim for damages of €100 million-plus against Europe’s largest brewer, the Food Ingredients First reported on July 6.
The Administrative Appeals Court, in Athens, has upheld the substance of a 2015 landmark antitrust finding by the Hellenic Competition Commission (HCC) against Heineken’s subsidiary Athenian Brewery (AB) for nearly two decades of illegal anti-competitive market abuse in Greece. Following a 12-year-long HCC investigation, the longest in its history, AB, was found to have systematically abused its dominant market position in violation of Greek and EU competition law.
The Appeals Court upheld the substance of the HCC’s decision and after a technical adjustment to the original HCC fine, confirmed a record €26.7 million fine on Heineken’s operating company in Greece.
The HCC found overwhelming evidence that AB, which sells Alfa, Amstel and Heineken in Greece, implemented a targeted policy to exclude competitors from all channels – wholesalers, on-trade (e.g. HORECA – hotels, bars and restaurants) and off-trade retail outlets.
In February MTB launched a damages claim against Heineken and Athenian Brewery in the Court of Amsterdam, commercial division.
