    POLITECNICO DI TORINO Collegio di Ingegneria Gestionale Master of Science Degree in Engineering and Management Master of Science Thesis Analysis of the craft beer movement in Italy Supervisor Candidate Prof. Luigi Benfratello Tommaso Magrì Academic Year 2018/2019 2 Summary The purpose of this thesis is to describe the current state of the beer market in Italy with a qualitative and quantitative focus on craft breweries. Since it has been influencing the demand and setting new minimum quality levels, the Italian craft beer movement has become more important in recent years. The first chapter analyses the concept of beer: its origin and how it has evolved over the centuries, the raw materials of which it is composed and its production process. Furthermore, this chapter provides a brief description of the differences in the production process between industrial and craft beer. The second chapter begins with a general overview of the global beer market: some parameters (like market size, growth rates and trends) are provided. Furthermore, an in-depth analysis of three continents (and respective countries), where the largest amount of beer is produced, is carried out: Asia (China), America (USA) and Europe (United Kingdom), with an overview of their craft beer movements. The third chapter focuses on the Italian beer market. It begins with an analysis of the Italian legislation and continues with a snapshot view of the sector. The displayed data and numbers help the reader to understand the market situation: production and consumption, imports and exports, main competitors, distribution channels and suppliers are taken into consideration. The fourth chapter deals with an empirical analysis of a sample of brewing firms.

The two panels were beer non-drinkers (indicating willingness to taste beer) and craft-style beer drinkers. Eleven modified beer samples were evaluated during three separate tasks by both panels. The tasks were (1) a vocabulary generation on a sample level, (2) an attribute identification task with a list of attributes to choose from, and (3) a descriptive analysis. The performance of the two panels was evaluated and compared using three parameters, as follows: Descriptive similarity, attribute knowledge similarity, and perceptual similarity. The results showed that the craft-style beer drinkers generated the most precise vocabulary and correctly identified more attributes, compared to the beer non-drinkers. Furthermore, the sample sensory spaces generated by the two panels were different before the training period, but were perceptually similar post training.

  • Jacobsen and the Carlsberg Brewery in Copenhagen Fathi Habashi
    Laval University From the SelectedWorks of Fathi Habashi May, 2018 Jacobsen and the Carlsberg Brewery in Copenhagen Fathi Habashi Available at: https://works.bepress.com/fathi_habashi/283/ Jacobsen and the Carlsberg Brewery in Copenhagen1 Fathi Habashi Laval University, Quebec City, Canada [email protected] ABSTRACT Scientific beer making was achieved in Copenhagen when Jacob Christian Jacobsen founded in 1876 the Carlsberg Brewery. He founded a laboratory where chemists and biochemists devised scientific methods for chemical analysis and fermentation chemistry. Through the Carlsberg Foundation, Jacobsen and his son Carl were generous philanthropists and art collectors that contributed greatly to the development of Denmark. INTRODUCTION Innovations in the brewing process came about with the introduction of the thermometer in 1760 and hydrometer in 1770, which allowed brewers to increase efficiency. Louis Pasteur's 1857 discovery of yeast's role in fermentation led to brewers developing methods to prevent the souring of beer by undesirable microorganisms. The advent of automatic bottling, commercial refrigeration, and the rise of the railroads made mass production and distribution possible. In 1876 The Danish industrialist Jacob Christian Jacobsen (1811–1887) (Figure 1) founded the Carlsberg Brewery (Figures 2-4) on the outskirts of Copenhagen and named it after his son Carl. The Carlsberg Group became a global brewer employing around 41,000 people, primarily located in Europe and Asia. The old brewery is currently open for tours. In the courtyard of the Visitors Centre is a smaller replica of the Little Mermaid Figure 1- Jacob Christian Statue (Figure 5) that Jacobsen donated Jacobsen (1811 –1887) to Copenhagen.

  • How a Beer Found Success with an Authentic Use of History
    How a beer found success with an authentic use of history blogs.lse.ac.uk/businessreview/2017/03/14/how-a-beer-found-success-with-an-authentic-use-of-history/ 3/14/2017 Countless times top managers newly appointed to a company immediately announce a better future for their stakeholders, one they declare with conviction will be notably different from the past. Many want to distance themselves from what came before, which they were not part of and in any case cannot change. So they direct attention forward by promising: “We can and will change our future!” Although managers’ responsibilities are to influence the future, our study of historicising at Carlsberg Group indicates that the past can greatly benefit their efforts. An organisation’s past reminds people of the vision and innovations that made for today’s successes and invites employees and other stakeholders to see themselves as part of a history that will continue into the future. The attractions of being part of something greater than oneself and more lasting than the present moment engages people and, as our research shows, some find it an irresistible force. Now, we know that among politicians and business leaders are some who manipulate with little or no respect for historical facts. Pundits claim this tendency has landed us in a post-truth world built from “alternative facts” and other non-rational atrocities. But skepticism arising from the manipulation of both truth and history should not lead you to conclude that truth and history are unreal or that references to them are unwarranted or unwelcome.
