Beer Production
The Barth-Haas Hops Academy
It is well known that hops are a prime flavour component in
beer, but their remarkably high impact on the final product
is often overlooked. The closer one looks at hops, the more
revealing their importance to beer becomes. Hops have see-
mingly inexhaustible potential not only in terms of aroma and
bitterness, but also in the other attributes they provide in the
brewing process and finished beer.
Understanding the complexities of hops and tapping into
their full potential is why we brought the BARTH-HAAS HOPS
ACADEMY into being. Having an acute knowledge of the usage,
effects and impact of this special brewing ingredient will help
the brewer optimize process efficiencies and develop distinctive
high-quality beers.

The Hop Aroma Compendium a whole new experience of hops!
Just discover the Hop Aroma Compendium, a unique description
of the aromas of hop varieties, constituting a further element
in Barth-Haas projects designed to increase hop expertise in
the brewing industry and in other sectors. A purely technical
analysis does not do justice to the hops and is of only little
help to the brewer when it comes to developing new recipes.
In particular the skilful use of flavour hops produced unique
and individual beers, which was the main reason for that unique
project.
At the end of 2013 Volume 3 of the Hop Aroma Compendium
will be published presenting further hop varieties. Together
with Volume 1 and 2 there are now more than 130 hop
varieties which were tasted by two world champion beer
sommeliers and a perfumist and a Barth-Haas expert panel.
The 2013 winners are:
The Barth-Haas Grants your hops research opportunity
Since 2007 the Barth-Haas Group has awarded five grants of
2,000 EUR each year to support research ideas that focus on
hops and hop products in brewing. Our grants have become so
successful that hop research is now experiencing a revival. The
ideas funded so far reveal just the tip of the iceberg concerning
the unknown properties of hops. The previously funded research
projects looked into
hop derived anti-foams
dry hopping techniques
hop aroma utilisation during brewing
the role of hops in flavour stability
instrumental bitterness detection
hops and gushing
hop derived flavour active compounds
While these research projects have answered many questions, as
is often the case in the world of science, they have also gene-
rated many more interesting questions at the same time. Like in
the previous year, we have decided to support six research ideas
with our grants in order to meet with the increasing number of
applications.

A list of the research projects that were supported with the
Barth-Haas Grants since 2007 can be found on our website:

Explanation
RANKING
The ranking of the countries is based on production volume.
The number on the left of the country indicates its world beer
production ranking.
POPULATION (POP): Million inhabitants.
GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT (GNP): in billion US-dollars.
PRODUCTION (PROD): Beer in million hectolitres.
PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION (PCC): Beer in litres.
MARKET SHARE (MS): Market share based on the breweries dome-
stic sales. The breweries are mentioned in the national ranking
either if their market share is higher than 10 % with a minimum
volume of 1 million hl or if they appear in the top 40 brewery list
having more than 5 % market share in the respective country.
FINANCIAL PARTICIPATION
If the group behind the domestic brewery is written in capital
letters it means the group has a participation over 50 %. If it is writ-
ten in lower case it means the group has a participation below 50 %.

Merger and acquisition highlights among the
40 largest brewing groups worldwide
Major M&A activity in 2012 started off with the acquisition
of StarBev by the MolsonCoors Group expanding into Eastern
Europe and giving it exposure to emerging markets. Integration
of MolsonCoors UK unit and its newly acquired Central and
Eastern European unit is ongoing.
Later in the year tension ran high when Heineken battled for
control of Asia-Pacific Breweries, Singapore, with the owners
of Beer Thai, who had made an unsolicited offer for APB. After
a nailbiting couple of weeks Heineken emerged as the winner
and took full control of APB.
The full acquisition of Grupo Modelo by ABI had not been com-
pleted by the end of 2012 and had run into some regulatory
issues forcing ABI to make concessions in to the US anti-trust
authority. We continue to report Grupo Modelo as a separate
entity in the 2012 league table.
We have been able to obtain a consolidated production figure
for the Kirin Group for the first time and therefore no longer
include Brasil Kirin (formerly Schincariol) nor Lion in our table,
of which Kirin owns a majority.
The elemination of 5 previous entries in the table makes
room for new breweries: Krombacher of Germany, Beer Thai
of Thailand, Habeco of Vietnam, Brau Holding International of
Germany and SiPing Ginsberg Brewery.
