Beer is Canada’s favourite alcoholic drink, and the brewing sector is one of the country’s oldest industries, with 85 percent of production owned by Canadian brewers. The sector’s vitality is of crucial importance, as it drives a whole industry – from the barley field to the pint, which is reflected in an exponential boom in craft breweries.

Holy cow! Did the earth shake and no one noticed? In Sweden a microbrewer is nominated for the award “entrepreneur of the year” by the independent conservative newspaper Svenska Dagbladet. In other parts of the world this accolade would hardly raise an eyebrow because the most talked-up entrepreneurs in recent years have either been craft brewers or internet whiz kids. But in Sweden the nomination of Björn Falkeström, who set up the Oppigårds Brewery in 2003, indicates that something close to a cultural revolution has taken place.

Ammonia (NH3) is a classic and environmentally friendly refrigerant. The brewery Vereins-brauerei Greiz, in the Vogtland region of Thuringia (Germany), decided to once again install NH3 piston-compressor technology when modernizing its central refrigeration system. When the area belonged to former East Germany, the Greiz brewery had already operated for many years with traditional ammonia piston compressors, which proved their reliability in around 40 years of service.

If one asks a hobby brewer about analytics of beers brewed in the domestic brew vessel, the so-called hydrometer is, first and foremost, always the measuring instrument of choice. Consequently, brewers should be familiar with the basics of this measurement method and be able to use this measuring device properly. Taking the measured values, it is possible to get a general overview of the analytical parameters of a beer by making a rough calculation.

What do China, Vietnam, Laos and Cuba have in common? Well, nominally, they are the last remaining Marxist-Leninist states. If that sounds, oh so last century, it is. Vietnam has since come a long way: Saigon is bustling, prosperous, easy going. You don’t sense that communist dogma is affecting everyday life. But don’t be fooled: 2015 is an auspicious year for Vietnam’s communist rulers: decorations up in Saigon mark it as the 40th anniversary of the fall of Saigon, the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Army and, incidentally, the 140th anniversary of the country’s largest and now state-owned Saigon Brewery. The government has ambitious plans to privatize as many as 400 state enterprises. The question is: will it sell down its controlling stake in the brewery too?

Analysis and efficient use | Due to rising energy prices, the brewing industry is increasingly interested in the continuous reduction of production costs. In order to save production costs, processes and system components are permanently evaluated and compared on the basis of specific energy figures. Efficiency can be improved by converting waste heat into useful heat. The question is what parameters and requirements have to be taken into account.

Economic stagnation, a rapidly ageing population and consumer money hoarded rather than spent are usually blamed for the declining demand in the Japanese alcoholic beverages sector. If that sounds like what could lie in store for Old Europe, shouldn’t Western brewers take a long hard look at Japan?

The Brewers of Europe’s Second Year Report on the European Beer Pledge shows Europe’s brewers are keeping to their promise to promote the responsible consumption of beer, increase consumer knowledge and strengthen responsible beer advertising.
