- Beer is the world's oldest and most
popular alcoholic beverage. It is produced by the fermentation of sugars
derived from starch-based material. Worldwide, 20,000 brands of beer are
brewed in 180 styles, from ales, lagers, pilsner and stouts to bitters,
cream ales and iced beers.
- Brewing consists of the following steps,
malting, Braceaje, Boiling / Lupulisation, Filtration, Fermentation,
Maturing process and Pasteurization.
- Brewing is the process of changing water
and grain into beer through a yeast catalyst. The quality of the water is
extremely important. Hard water produce a bitter ale, soft water produce
bitter lager. Barley or hops, or a combination of them, is used for the
grain. Getting dry grain ready for fermentation is called malting. The grain
is steeped in water until it sprouts. The sprouting or germination is not
allowed to end naturally but is interrupted either by drying or roasting in
kilns.
- Making beer is easy, inexpensive, and
most of all, fun. With the rise in popularity of homebrewing, there are a
wide variety of top quality ingredients available. Beer is made from 4 basic
ingredients: water, malt (malted barley), hops, and yeast. Making Beer is
just like cooking. Each recipe requires different ingredients and
techniques.
- Process hygiene plays a major role in the
production of high quality beer. Knowledge of microorganisms found in the
brewery environment and the
control of microbial fouling are both essential in the prevention of
microbial spoilage of beer. Beer spoilage microorganisms, such as lactic
acid and acetic acid bacteria, enterobacteria and yeasts were shown to
produce biofilm on process surface materials in conditions resembling those
of the brewing process.
- Wine bars could soon be dotting the lanes
and by lanes of small towns in Maharashtra. The state government has
permitted the setting up of exclusive wine bars - no other kinds of liquor
will be allowed - for an annual license fee of Rs 5,000. However, the
license fee for such wine bars in Mumbai will be higher, at Rs 37,500. The
Rs. 5000 limit is applicable to all areas outside Mumbai, including Thane
and Navi Mumbai. Industry sources said other states are also planning to
follow Maharashtra's example.
- Skewed excise policy across States along
with varying trade margins will lead to disproportionate beer sales across
the country this summer. Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh are expected to fuel
demand for beer due to changes in the beer selling policies whereby the
auction system resulting in a monopolistic system has been removed. The
demand for beer is expected to flatten in Maharashtra with the State
Government's decision to hike the excise duty on beer in the State. The Beer
consumption in Maharashtra is about 160 lakh (12-bottle) cases with Mumbai
accounting for 40 per cent of beer sales in the State.
- The fragmented beer market is rapidly
contracting. Recognizing that mature domestic markets lack room for adequate
growth, breweries seek growth through acquisitions and mergers in high
growth opening markets, such as China, and other markets in Asia and Latin
America. Industrialized nations have a difficult time growing due to
established markets and consolidation within their domestic sphere.
International approaches that promote growth through consolidation abroad in
fragmented markets allows for strategic international development of multi
national breweries.
- To set up a beer plant with capacity of
10,000 bottles per day, one needs to invest about 3 crores in plant &
machinery and another 0ne crore in working expenses
