Who would predict an upcoming beer boom and what could they base that claim on? The Phil’s Tavern ...................4 The person is Judy Hong, an analyst at Goldman Sachs, whose area of expertise is alcohol beverages.

Millennials will probably drink more beer as they age. • The price gap between beer and wine/spirits is closing.

Beer is not just a poor The Beer Guy ....................25 man’s drink any longer. From her mouth to God’s ears was my initial reaction, but Ms. Hong made some interesting observations that made me realize she could be onto something. Consumers continue to seek products with more flavor, but 85% of beer drinkers don’t drink craft – they prefer “social beers” with less alcohol, particularly “when they’re having more than one.” Or they may enjoy a craft beer and then switch to social beer because they want to stay out, having fun. Those tendencies translate into more beer volume sold. Whether it is a boom or not remains to be seen. But when you read our cover story, Mexican Beers Are On Fire, keep in mind what you’ve just read here. These tea leaves are signaling that sales will be better and as we move into the spring and summer months, that is a cause for real optimism. As always, thank you for your business and I wish you every success. ® Sincerely, Heady Times is published five times a year, courtesy of Origlio Beverage.

The Traveler Beer Company also falls under the Alchemy & Science umbrella. As President, Alan Newman has put his years of experience and insight to good use alongside the company’s co-founder, Stacey Steinmetz. Newman’s first foray into the beer business was in the mid- 90s when he founded Magic Hat Brewing Company and hired Steinmetz as the brewery’s first employee. Newman left Magic Hat in 2010 and founded Alchemy & Science in late 2011. Named for Newman’s fascination with the fact that making beer is a combination of math, science and some magic, Alchemy & Science is not an actual brewery. Newman explains, “As Jim Koch put it, there are lots of opportunities in the craft beer world that Boston Beer just can’t pursue because it’s not what they do.

  • A Seasonal Search for the Phantom of Brewing
    A seasonal search for the phantom of brewing The Belgian man-in-the Street (or rue) is probably knowledgeable about beer than his counterpart in other countries. Despite that, he is still inclined to take for granted the marvelous beer selection in his own land. The integrity of several Belgian beer styles is in danger and some could vanish. Perhaps the most endangered is the Saison. This style is not widely known outside its region of production of Hainaut, in the French speaking half of the country. It was my interest in this style that led me to make my first visit to the Dupont brewery. This is in the hamlet of Tourpes, in the municipality of Leuze, in western Hainaut. The making of Saisons was regarded as a distinctly Belgian technique by brewing scientists in the late 1800s and early 1900s, though they were produced to meet a situation common to all brewing nations. They were originally made during the winter by farmer-brewers, then laid down for consumption during the summer. The beer had to be sturdy enough to last for some months, but not too strong to be a summer and harvest quencher. Rocky Saisons were regarded in Belgium as beers of medium gravity (today, anything from 1048 to 1080). The method, probably arrived at empirically, was to use high mashing temperatures, producing a substantial degree of unfermentable sugars, and to have a period of warm conditioning, usually in metal tanks. In the Belgian tradition, Saisons are top-fermenting and bottle-conditioned. These beers are often presented in Champagne-style bottles, and were before the more widespread revival of this presentation.

  • Acid and Volatiles of Commercially-Available Lambic Beers
    beverages Article Acid and Volatiles of Commercially-Available Lambic Beers Katherine Thompson Witrick, Susan E. Duncan, Ken E. Hurley and Sean F. O’Keefe * Department of Food Science and Technology, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061, USA; [email protected] (K.T.W.); [email protected] (S.E.D.); [email protected] (K.E.H.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-530-231-4437 Academic Editor: Ombretta Marconi Received: 10 January 2017; Accepted: 6 October 2017; Published: 26 October 2017 Abstract: Lambic beer is the oldest style of beer still being produced in the Western world using spontaneous fermentation. Gueuze is a style of lambic beer prepared by mixing young (one year) and older (two to three years) beers. Little is known about the volatiles and semi-volatiles found in commercial samples of gueuze lambic beers. SPME was used to extract the volatiles from nine different brands of lambic beer. GC-MS was used for the separation and identification of the compounds extracted with SPME. The pH and color were measured using standard procedures. A total of 50 compounds were identified in the nine brands. Seventeen of the 50 compounds identified have been previously identified. The compounds identified included a number of different chemical groups such as acids, alcohols, phenols, ketones, aldehydes, and esters. Ethyl acetate, 4-ethylphenol, and 4-ethylguaiacol are known by-products of the yeast, Brettanomyces, which is normally a spoilage microorganism in beer and wine, but important for the flavor characteristics of lambic beer. There were no differences in pH, but there were differences in color between the beer samples.
