PRESIDENT's PAGE It Was Great to See a Small but Enthusiastic Group PRESIDENT’S PAGE It was great to see a small but enthusiastic group at our October meeting. More surprising was the first sighting of Spyros Repousis attending his first meeting, visiting on business from Sydney. Spyros has been a keen and active member over the last couple of years and it was great to see him. We look forward to seeing more interstate and country members down in Melbourne. Magic to put a face to a name. Remember, traveling and catching up with members doesn’t have to be at a gazetted meeting. Spyros also picked up a lot of “wants”. OK guys, make it a weekend. On a financial note, a number of reminders have gone out to members for their 2007 subscriptions. Your Committee has discussed this at length and has decided that those members not having paid their subscriptions by the end of November 2006 will have their membership SUSPENDED pending further notice. This is only fair to all those that have promptly paid for the coming year. Further delays will have your membership deleted. If you have any issues then please direct them to your Treasurer, Secretary or myself. I am very pleased to thank Umit for great progress in taking up the role of Editor, David in taking up the finances and more recently Ben Lawrence in upgrading our website. These volunteers are very professional and bring to your Society great skills to improve the VBLCS. We must remember Alex Freer set a great standard and we must respect that. Thanks guys for your input and support. Look forward to things to come. Again, the VBLCS is only as good as the input from its members so “what can you contribute?”. I know Umit is waiting for emails to include in the next edition so let us have your contributions. Ideas? New beers that you have tasted, travels that included touring breweries, special and elusive labels? Give it a go. My wife, Rosslyn and I recently toured New Zealand to relax and enjoy the scenery. Yep, there they were, micro breweries, major breweries and a vast array of great wineries. A tour of the North and South Island is thoroughly recommended. More importantly, with limited time I managed to catch up with Chris Newlove, one of our keen members in Auckland. Chris introduced us to the micro brewery scene, which was great. There is no doubt NZ is thriving and the styles and quality was excellent. This is also proven by the results in the Australian and International Beer Awards. I apologise to those members in NZ that I could not catch up with but I will try next time. The beers at Founders, Lighthouse, Macs, Dux de Lux and Hallertau were excellent. Great beers and friendship. Club Tivoli offers a fine restaurant providing excellent German food and a range of beverages. Prices are very reasonable and the service is excellent. Give it a try. Remember the next meeting is on 10 th December 2006, at the earlier 12.00 midday start with normal meeting and formalities in a fine social atmosphere. We will then progress to our Christmas festivities closer to 1.00pm hence please note the minor changes to accommodate the Xmas cheer. Again a reminder, Subscriptions are now over due and payable to our Treasurer, David Dobney [address on the inside cover page]. Cheque or money order payable to VBLCS. We endeavor to provide a cheap but enjoyable hobby however with our prompt payment we will struggle to meet the costs of printing, postage and in some instances, payment of special label print runs. Please send your subscriptions in ASAP. Cheers and happy collecting. Rob Greenaway OCTOBER MEETING NOTES The meeting was held at the Club Tivoli and commenced at 12. 45 pm. APOLOGIES: John Long , Phil Langley and Jill Major. WELCOME: The club welcomes new member Fred Wheatcroft from the United Kingdom and also welcomes Spyros Repousis from Sydney. MINUTES: The minutes from the previous meeting were read and no comment was forthcoming. FINANCE: A full financial report was tabled by the new treasurer and will be included with this newsletter. GENERAL BUSINESS: A vote of appreciation was given from the floor to Umit for his excellent work in producing the newsletter. Alex Freer's wife, Kerry has contacted the club regarding the disposal of Alex's extensive label collection. She stated that she wants the collection to be distributed to club members. This will be done in the future when she can pack it up and pass it on to the president and secretary for distribution. She has also requested that her privacy be respected and that she is not contacted by individual members. The new Guinness book will be released by the next meeting and will cost approximately $56.00. Orders to be given to Jack Wilks or Rob Greenaway. Comments were made regarding the Xmas function and it was decided that there be more variety and quantity of food this year. Ron Barker from the Fire Brigade Museum tabled a very interesting collection of photographs of the Victoria Brewery and some very old labels that were brought into the museum by a visitor recently. George Crompton tabled a collection of foreign beer label club magazines that he has recently received. Michael Bannenberg noted that our club is the only club that he knows of that distributes labels with their newsletter. Spyros Repousis reported that Red Oak Brewery now have 12 different beers available at their restaurant. He also reported that XXXX have a set of special neck labels for beach cricket on XXXX Gold and that St Peters Brewery have released a "beer, lime & bitters" beer. RAFFLES: The raffles were then drawn and the lucky winners were: 1st. F21 David Dobney 2nd. E89 Michael Doulton 3rd. C45 Rob Greenaway. There were several extra prizes of full bottles etc. that were kindly donated by Spyros Repousis that were won by members in the room. A total of 28 members signed the attendance book. The meeting closed at 1.50 pm. Angus MacEwan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Editor’s note: Spyros Repousis reported about the following new labels as well: - Fish Rock Brewery has 2 labels (Leather Jacket and Red Emperor) - Bohemian Pilsener has 6 different labels - Green Star Lager from St. Peters Brewery (also Blonde beer coming soon) - Pigs Fly Bowral has several brews - Tooheys Dry in plastic bottles - Holgate Brewery has a round label - Heineken (Australian) has at least 7 different back labels - New Blond label from Carlton - New Mid label has lighter red & Carlton horses more pronounced AUSTRALIAN SMALL BREWERY UPDATE—NOVEMBER 2006 Busy times continue in the Australian small brewery sector. The following is a selection of news from around the country. As usual, readers’ contributions will be gratefully received. If you have some news to share about Australian small breweries (e.g. your accounts of personal visits to new breweries, or discoveries of new products or new brewery websites, or newspaper and magazine articles about new breweries, or other such things) please send to the compiler (Brett Stubbs) at [email protected] or P.O. Box 5098, East Lismore, NSW, 2480. New South Wales Pig Dog Pilsener, the first line of bottled beer from the new (relocated) Five Islands Brewery at North Wollongong, was released in September. The second bottled product, Longboard Australian Wheat Beer, is expected to hit the bottle shops between Helensburgh and Gerringong soon. Watch for the red carton. Ian Partland’s Steel River Brewery at Newcastle, brewer of Pig Iron Lager, launched its second product, Steel River Lager, in September. Victoria The Scottish Chief’s Tavern Brewery at Geelong has a new operator. Damian Nippard, through his What’s Brewing Company , started brewing at the Corio Street tavern in May. A pale ale, an amber ale, and a porter are produced, and they are available on tap and in bottles. Have any curious Melbourne readers yet paid a visit to the James Squire Brewhouse at Waterfront City to see what’s going on there? Or dropped in to Gunn Island Brew Bar at Middle Park to investigate the fate of the brewery there? Much is happening beer-wise in Victoria, and it would be nice to hear some news from that quarter. South Australia Knappstein Wines has gone into the beer business by opening a microbrewery at its Clare winery. Fittingly, the winery is based in the former premises of Clare’s old Enterprise Brewery, which closed about ninety years ago. The new operation, also named Enterprise Brewery , launched its first beer, Knappstein Reserve Lager, late in September. Knappstein Wines is owned by Lion-Nathan, explaining why the producer’s licence for the new brewery is in the name of the Malt Shovel Brewery, another Lion-Nathan subsidiary. After some delays as reported in the September Newsletter , the Steam Exchange Brewery at Goolwa was officially opened at the beginning of October. The standard range of beers comprises Steam Ale, India Pale Ale, Southerly Buster Dark Ale, and Stout. The Gulf Brewery has been operating for nearly a year, and I still don’t know where it is! An address in Seaview Downs was given in its notice of license application early in 2005, but the latest Yellow Pages says that it’s at Hackham. Have any South Australian (or other) members actually seen this brewery? Do any know for certain where it is? Western Australia Danial Wind’s Wicked Ale Brewery at Yallingup has changed its name. From early July it has been known as Bush Shack Brewery . One would suppose that with a new name would come new label designs.

I was enjoying Friday night trips to Whitefriars Ale House in Coventry with their ever changing selection of guest ales. However I could never really remember which beers or breweries I’d enjoyed most a few months later. The nearby Inspire Café Bar provided a different challenge with its range of European beers that were often only differentiated by their number – was it the 6, 8 or 10 that I liked? So I started to make notes on the beers to improve my powers of selection. Now, over three years on, that simple list has grown into the book you hold. As well as straightforward likes and dislikes, the book contains what I have learnt about the many styles of beer and the history of brewing in countries across the world. It reflects the diverse beers that are being produced today and the differing attitudes to it.

This thesis is the result of my own investigations, except where otherwise stated. Other sources are acknowledged by giving explicit references. A bibliography is appended. By signing the present document I confirm and agree that I have read RU’s ethics code of conduct and fully understand the consequences of violating these rules in regards of my thesis. ............................................................................................................................................. Date and place ID.no Signature 2 Abstract This study analyses the Icelandic beer market in terms of exports and the objective of the research is to find out how Icelandic beer breweries are creating new foreign markets and how the development has been in terms of beer exports from Iceland in the years 2007-2016. The main markets of Icelandic beer in Europe and the United States are also analysed and the future prospects of beer exports from Iceland are discussed. The beer industry in Iceland has been blooming in that time with many breweries starting operations. This study is carried out using a qualitative research method and semi structured in depth interviews that were conducted with representatives of five Icelandic breweries to discuss their foreign operations. The seven stages of interview inquiry framework by Brinkman & Kvale was followed during all steps of the research.

  • After the Gold Rush in Iceland: Causes and Consequences of the Banking Collapse in 20081
    After the gold rush in Iceland: Causes and consequences of the banking collapse in 20081 John F. Galliher (University of Missouri, USA) & Helgi Gunnlaugsson (University of Iceland) Abstract In 2010, University of Iceland organized a conference in Reykjavík on the banking collapse in Iceland in 2008. This event was a joint effort of Sociology, Anthropology and Ethnology, gathering dozens of scholars including international ones. The collapse was still fresh in the minds of all participants. The title of the conference was After the Gold Rush, and the topic centered on how the social sciences can help us understanding these historic events, unfolding around us at the time. This paper was presented at the conference in May of 2010, by the late professor from the United States, John Galliher, and Helgi Gunnlaugsson, professor of sociology at the University of Iceland, but was never published. The content, slightly revised in 2012, offers a valuable insight to some of the main themes believed to be paramount in explaining the crash, followed by the immediate social consequences for Iceland in the aftermath. How the Icelandic case of bust was seen in the foreign media is in turn reviewed followed by perceptions of local crime developments. The main findings show neo-liberal ideologies, hyper-consumptionism, and globalized market, playing leading roles in both the rise and fall of the local banking system. A few concluding remarks show that Iceland recovered remarkably fast, or in only a few years, fueled by explosion in tourism. Key words Icelandic banking collapse, neo-liberal ideology, crime, foreign press. The Icelandic Collapse in 2008 Iceland experienced a deep economic crisis after all three of the country’s major banks collapsed in late September to early October 2008.

  • Further Study on the Affordability of Alcoholic Beverages in the EU
    Further study on the affordability of alcoholic beverages in the EU A focus on excise duty pass-through, on- and off-trade sales, price promotions and pricing regulations LILA RABINOVICH, PRISCILLIA HUNT, LAURA STAETSKY, SIMO GOSHEV, ELLEN NOLTE, JANICE PEDERSEN, CHRISTINE TIEFENSEE 2012 TR-1203-EC Europe, Competing RAND Europe Prepared for the European Commission, DG SANCO and the Executive Agency for Health and Consumers Contract Reference N˚ SC2010 61 31 ii Preface Policies related to alcohol pricing, promotion and discounts provide opportunities to address harms associated with alcohol consumption. However, there are important gaps in information and knowledge about various policy- relevant aspects of alcohol retail and pricing. This information could help governments to plan their alcohol strategies better and develop evidence-based policies. To address these knowledge gaps, this report presents findings from our research, which focused on the following four areas of inquiry: the link between changes in excise duties and changes in alcohol consumer prices the trends in the ratio of on-trade to off-trade consumption of alcohol, and their drivers the scale of alcohol price promotions and discounts in the on- and off- trade across the EU regulations in Member States on price promotions and discounts, their compliance and effectiveness. RAND Europe is an independent not-for-profit policy research organisation that aims to improve policy and decisionmaking in the public interest, through research and analysis. RAND Europe’s clients include European governments, institutions, NGOs and firms with a need for rigorous, independent, multidisciplinary analysis. This report will be of interest to public health policymakers and researchers, tax authorities, and those seeking to better understand tools for policy analysis.

  • The Effectiveness of Limiting Alcohol Outlet
    Guide to Community Preventive Services The Effectiveness of Limiting Alcohol Outlet Density As a Means of Reducing Excessive Alcohol Consumption and Alcohol-Related Harms Carla Alexia Campbell, MHSc, Robert A. Hahn, PhD, MPH, Randy Elder, PhD, Robert Brewer, MD, MSPH, Sajal Chattopadhyay, PhD, Jonathan Fielding, MD, MPH, MBA, Timothy S. Naimi, MD, MPH, Traci Toomey, PhD, Briana Lawrence, MPH, Jennifer Cook Middleton, PhD, the Task Force on Community Preventive Services Abstract: The density of alcohol outlets in communities may be regulated to reduce excessive alcohol consumption and related harms. Studies directly assessing the control of outlet density as a means of controlling excessive alcohol consumption and related harms do not exist, but assessments of related phenomena are indicative. To assess the effects of outlet density on alcohol-related harms, primary evidence was used from interrupted time–series studies of outlet density; studies of the privatization of alcohol sales, alcohol bans, and changes in license arrangements—all of which affected outlet density. Most of the studies included in this review found that greater outlet density is associated with increased alcohol consump- tion and related harms, including medical harms, injury, crime, and violence. Primary evidence was supported by secondary evidence from correlational studies. The regulation of alcohol outlet density may be a useful public health tool for the reduction of excessive alcohol consumption and related harms. (Am J Prev Med 2009;37(6):556–569) Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of American Journal of Preventive Medicine Introduction The density of retail alcohol outlets is often regulated to reduce excessive alcohol consumption and related xcessive alcohol consumption, including both harms.
