Quilmes increases its presence in Central America

Chinese beer penetrates the Ecuador market

GLOBAL BEER On a global level, the beer consumption declined in 2015. The emerging markets showed varying developments. Meanwhile the traditional markets show positive signs. Globally, beer consumption was down by 1.3 percent in 2015. After years of growth in the emerging regions and decline or stagnation in the classic beer markets, 2015 showed a different picture. The economic struggles in China have led to a notable decline in beer consumption there, affecting the Asian result and ending 2015 with a 3.4 percent volume loss. As Africa also struggled and finished the year with a slight decline of 0.2 percent, it was to Middle East/North Africa (MENA) and Latin America, to generate some growth in the emerging markets, finishing with a + 6.6 percent and +1.0 percent result respectively. The traditional markets showed mixed results: losses were recorded in Australasia and East Europe, while the value driving markets of North America and West Europe ...

A PROMISING MARKET Craft Beer in Brazil The craft beer market in Brazil, despite the political and financial challenges, continues to grow and is seen as a promising for the coming years.

T

he tradition of brewing in Brazil goes way back to the early nineteenth century. German immigrants started brewing in the 1830s. In recent years, the beer market in Brazil experienced a kind of a new wave. A rising number of craft or microbreweries emerged, brewing various styles of beer.

Number three in the world With an annual volume of 138.6 million hectoliters, Brazil has an important role in the global beer

market, where it ranks third worldwide in production volume (as of 2015). However, as a direct consequence of the political and economic scenario of the country, the main­ stream beer market has fallen in recent years: – 2015 vs 2014 – 2.0 percent decrease in the volume of mainstream beers – 2016* vs 2015 – 1.8 percent decrease in ...

One thing is certain: hardly any other subject in brewing arouses as much controversy as that of hop products. Which should be / may be /  are used What are the differences between the products Why do many people consider CO2 extract to be inferior Is this prejudice justified Are cone hops really “purer” products than pellets But let’s begin at the beginning.

Cones Cone hops is the term used to refer to cones that have been harvested, dried and sub­ sequently packed in 60-kg rectangular bales for use in the brewery in unprocessed form as soon as possible. Looking closely at a cone, one is struck by its attractive shape, the pattern that may be created by the different shades of green etc. What can­ not be seen is the lupulin, the valuable hop com­ pound. It is well hidden on the spindle beneath the bracts. And that is precisely what makes it difficult to obtain the lupulin for the wort / beer, as this husk has to be broken open so that the compounds c ...

WASTEWATER TREATMENT IN SICILY Lemon juice plant gets sustainable solution Lemons are one of the best known products of Sicily. Eurofood in Sicily is a world leader in lemon juice, producing 22 tons per day. To ensure that its waste is disposed of properly, the company now has an industrial wastewater treatment solution that uses Xylem’s energy-efficient technology.

G

iven the high production capacity of Eurofood, the company needed to find a smart way to treat more than 3,000 cubic meters of wastewater every day. As can be imagined, the wastewater has a high level of acidity.

This cannot be handled by the treatment plant of the municipality of Capo D’Orlando, where Eurofood is located. The municipality’s system is designed for 30,000 people, and is already stressed in the summer season. Eurofood

needed to build its own industrial wastewater treatment plant. In addition, the company wanted to maintain its high environmental standa ...

RAPIDLY GROWING Beer in Myanmar As the largest country in mainland Southeast Asia, Myanmar lies at the intersection of China and India, two of the world’s most dynamic economies. This makes it well positioned to resume its traditional role as a regional trading hub. The country’s beer market, which was closed for outside brewers for quite a long time, was dominated by a state-run brewery. However, with the opening up of the country’s economy, multinational and regional brewers have entered the fray, making the domestic market as one of the most keenly contested in the region.

W

ith a population of 54 million and a rapidly growing income of a vast section of population, almost all the major brewers have intensified their efforts to win a larger share in the quickly growing beer market. BBII presents an overview of Myanmar’s rapidly growing beer industry and market in this article.

CODE OF NATURE MEETS PROVENANCE ®

Local sourcing and variants of fruits, spices and herbs Consumers around the world love the taste of nature. Consequently, naturalness is generally popular, both in mature and emerging markets.

Valued Readers, It’s about time we got this show on the road. It’s been nearly a year since the Executive Committee announced my appointment as new Executive Director of Doemens and successor to Dr. Wolfgang Stempfl. The orderly transition has been characterized by meetings with the owners and operators of Bavaria’s private breweries. My heartfelt thanks to the executive committee and, of course, to Dr. Stempfl – who graciously postponed his semiretirement – for its guidance and support. It’s a comfort to know that the two of us will share responsibilities during this transition phase. Doemens has become a recognizable brand within the beverage industry nationally and internationally, building trust as a training institution. The Doemens team has managed to consolidate its quality offerings even as it has developed new instructional areas such as the World Brewing Academy and the Savour Academy. Our main focus now will be on expanding the scope of our course offerings whi ...

BEVERAGE INNOVATIONS THE WORLD’S FIRST COMMERCIAL-SCALE RED GLASS BOTTLE

Brugge Tripel Prestige 2016 lives up to its name. Brugge Tripel is enriched with additional herbs, with the flavor of juniper berries being the most striking. At 9.5 % ABV, this strong tripel beer is characterized by a full, round flavor with slightly smoky accents. The beer is rich and creamy, while the use of juniper berries provides a crisp touch. The beer has a complex herbal aroma and is wonderfully balanced, offering a typical bitter/mild flavor.

Owens-Illinois, the world’s leading glass container manufacturer, has partnered with its customer Ambev to bring the world’s first commercial-scale red glass bottle to the market with Ambev’s launch of Skol Beats Secret. This powerful, brand-differentiating color innovation is a result of the company’s own advanced research and technological developments, which have enabled O-I to produce red glass containers on a large scale for ...

ALLIED INDUSTRIES MEETING THE NEEDS OF A GROWING VEGAN FRUIT JUICE MARKET To better serve the growing vegan population, fruit juice producers can now rely on the Filtration Division of the company Eaton for pure vegan fining agents. Fruit juice producers can substitute gelatin with pea or potato protein easily and directly without any adaption of the established fining process and no special tools or additional equipment. SIHA Pea Protein or SIHA Potato Protein can be combined with Eaton’s SIHA Bentonite and, optionally, silica sol fining agents to improve the clarification effect and fruit juice stability. Pea or potato protein will be added to the fruit juice first, in the second step bentonite will follow. Silica sol should be added last for the best fining result.

Today, fruit juice producers use gelatin as a fining agent to clarify and stabilize fruit juices prior to filtration and bottling. Because gelatin is an animal byproduct, it does not meet vegan dietary gui ...
