The main quality characteristics of beer are appearance, aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel. Important visual attributes of beer are foam appearance (volume and persistence), as well as the color and clarity. To replace manual inspection, automatic, objective, rapid and repeatable external quality inspection systems, such as computer vision, are becoming very important and necessary. Computer vision is a non-contact optical technique, suitable for the non-destructive evaluation of the food product quality. Currently, the main application of computer vision occurs in automated inspection and measurement, allowing manufacturers to keep control of product quality. This paper presents an overview of the applications and the latest achievements of the computer vision methods in determining the external quality attributes of beer. Keywords: beer; computer vision; image analysis; quality 1. Introduction Beer is one of the oldest (low) alcoholic beverages in the world and the third most widely-consumed drink (after water and tea). Today, besides industrial commercial beers, craft beer has gained great popularity among consumers [1]. Beer is produced in a brewing process from malt, water, brewer’s yeast, and hops. The basic quality characteristics of beer are divided into visual and sensory attributes. Appearance is the first attribute that consumer experiences (and evaluates) when he/she gets a glass of beer. Important visual characteristics of beer are foam appearance (volume and persistence), as well as color and clarity of the beer. Perception and acceptability of beer are also determined by other properties e.g., the alcohol content (expressed as Alcohol by volume, ABV or Alcohol by weight, ABW), carbon dioxide content, the presence/absence of off-flavors in bottled beer [2–4], aroma, mouthfeel and bitterness (listed in International Bitterness Units, or IBUs). The main collections of the standard methods of beer analysis used worldwide are methods of the Institute of Brewing and Distilling (IBD), American Society of Brewing Chemists (ASBC), European Brewery Convention (EBC), and Central European Commission for Brewing Analysis (MEBAK). Beers are differentiated mainly according to their visual appearance (depends on its color and turbidity) and their fermentation process. Regarding the yeast used and the fermentation temperature, beer can be categorized in the three main categories: top-fermented (ale), bottom-fermented (lager), and naturally fermented beer. Beer classification can be done regarding the color during the production process. Beer color is determined by the malt color that develops during the Maillard reactions and Beverages 2019, 5, 38; doi:10.3390/beverages5020038 www.mdpi.com/journal/beverages Beverages 2019, 5, 38 2 of 21 Beverages 2019, 5, x FOR PEER REVIEW 2 of 21 tocaramelization distinguish bright, in themalting red, dark and and roasting black process beer color.

Illumination With the camera, one of the most important elements of the CVS system is the illumination. The illumination device is used for object illumination under test. There are many properties of illumination (light angle of incidence, light source color, direct/diffuse light technique), which must be selected in such a way to reduce disturbances (shadows, reflections, noise) or enhance image contrast [14,18,19]. Suitable illumination increases the quality of captured images and improves the accuracy of the analysis. There are several simple rules and good practices that can help select the proper illumination and improve the image quality: maximizing the contrast of the features that must be inspected or measured • minimizing the contrast of the features of no interest • getting rid of unwanted variations caused by ambient light and differences between items that are • non-relevant to the inspection task.

  • “Craft” Beer's Competitiveness in Bulgaria
    IZVESTIYA 2016 Vol. 60 Journal of Varna University of Economics №1 PRICE ASPECTS OF “CRAFT” BEER’S COMPETITIVENESS IN BULGARIA Yordan IVANOV1 JEL M30, M39 Abstract “Craft” beer is a special part of the “Wine production” class which attracts even more consumers in the last couple of years. The oppor- tunity for an informed choice of a product or service that satisfies specific needs of consumers shifts the focus from the low price to the product of high value for which it must be paid. The goal of this article is to empirically develop the determinants that influence the choice of “Craft” beer based on theoretically proven determinants of competitiveness of price. The scientific tasks can be summarized as: developing the determinants that form the value accepted and theoreti- cal motivation of its relation with price flexibility; theoretical motiva- tion of the relation between price flexibility and price competitive- Keywords: ness; empirical development of the key determinants of price competi- prices, value, rela- tiveness of the “Craft” beer in Bulgaria. In this paper there are used tionships, clients, the methods of analysis and synthesis, surveys through questionnaires, competitiveness. statistical methods, market research and others. Introduction At the onset of the second decade of XXI C there started a wave of developing new “micro” and “small” enterprises in class C.11.05 “Beer production”. Despite the competitive pressure from leaders in the branch they adapt successfully and establish themselves on the market by managing to attract more real clients. While looking for advantages, they are forced to offer their clients a unique product through which to justify its higher price.

  • A New Packaging for Zagorka
    Press release A new packaging for Zagorka Heineken entrusts P.E.T. Engineering the development of the new packaging for its Zagorka, the only "special" beer of Bulgaria. San Vendemiano, 07th May 2015 – Zagorka, part of the Heineken Group, is the heir of centuries of devotion to excellence of the big brewers, excellence to which was added a touch of originality that has enabled it to become the only "special "beer in Bulgaria. Zagorka is the beer of a less ordinary taste characterized by a distinctive bitterness and a rich aroma, the result of the perfect balance of two different types of hops: these characteristics make it particularly appreciated by young people between 20 and 30 years who love to experience all that life can offer. The brand therefore needed to associate a less ordinary taste to an equally distinctive packaging that would strengthen the shelf impact and allow to visually align the PET packaging of 1 and 2 liters to the smaller sizes of glass and aluminium. The new design of Zagorka, developed by the Design Center of P.E.T. Engineering, gives the brand a more distinctly masculine connotation through a robust shape and the inclusion of two majestic lions on the body of the bottle, a metaphor for the pride of the Bulgarian people and a reference to the nation in which this special beer is brewed. The labels located in the upper part of the container allow immediate recognition within a range of bottles that show large labels in the central part or thin ones in the lower one.

Several of these were made under exceptional circumstances and embody experiences such as do not often fall to the lot of a traveller, some of which, I venture to think, are of lasting public interest. Anyone who has had personal relations with an autocrat—in this case the spiritual head of a faith in which in the course of centuries thousands of millions of human beings have lived and died—ought to have much to tell worth recounting. There were also the surroundings of the Monarch to be observed. Many a trait of deep human interest presented itself to him who was a privileged visitor: for instance, the ups and downs of fortune as they affected the all- powerful favourite whose good offices-as in the time of a Madame de Pompadour—powerful Sovereigns did not think it beneath their dignity to strive and compete for.

  • Imperial Hops: How Beer Traveled the World, Especially to Asia Jeffrey M
    Imperial Hops: How Beer Traveled the World, Especially to Asia Jeffrey M. Pilcher This is a very preliminary discussion of a book I hope to write on the globalization of beer. The first section outlines the literature and my research plan as sort of a first draft of a grant proposal intended to convince some funding agency to pay for me to travel the world drinking beer. The rest of the paper illustrates some of these ideas with three Asian case studies. I started with Asia in response to an invitation to participate in a recent SSRC Interasia Workshop in Istanbul and because the languages and meager secondary literature make it the hardest part of the project to research. There are mostly questions where the conclusions should be, and I welcome all suggestions. In June of 2013, Turkish crowds gathered in Istanbul’s Taksim Square to protest the growing authoritarianism of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Refusing to surrender their democratic freedoms, they opened bottles of Efes Pilsner and raised mock toasts to the tee-totaling Islamist politician: “Cheers, Tayyip!”1 The preference for European-style beer, rather than the indigenous, anise-flavored liquor arak, illustrates the complex historical movements that have shaped global consumer culture, and at times, political protests. Turkish entrepreneurs founded the Efes brewery in 1969, less than a decade after guest workers first began traveling to Germany and returning home with a taste for lager beer.2 This brief episode illustrates both the networks of migration, trade, and colonialism that carried European beer around the world in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and the new drinking cultures that emerged as a result.
