Here we share the Australian Malting Barley Harvest report 2020-21 from our supply partners at Malteurop Australia.
The good news is we have a very good harvest due to great conditions thoughout the Australian spring and summer – plenty of moisture and few extremely hot days.
Nationally malting barley yield is up 29% and 10% in Victoria.
Protein levels are within the 10-11.5% range and screenings are excellent with 90% above 2.5mm and less than 2% below 2.2mm screen sizes.
Spartacus and Planet remain the dominant barley varieties currently being grown in Australia with Compass, La Trobe and Westminster falling in behind the big two varieties.
KIWI is new variety from the Malteurop Breeding Program which offers superior malting qualities and is progressing well through Barley Australia accreditation and craft brewer trials.
If you are interested to buy or try Malteurop NEW! Kiwi Malt variety please reach out to us at Service@BeerCo.com.au

Melbourne Brewers Club kindly hosted BeerCoAU for a talk about Gladfield Malt + Hops + GigaYeast = Beer!
It was a cold wet wild winter evening and we enjoyed a chat about dark roasted malts including the new Limited Release Chocolate Rye, specialty malts like Shepherds Delight Malt and touched on Distilling talking about Distillers Malt, Manuka Smoked and Mild Peat Smoke Malt.
Hops from around the world were introduced including major growing regions US GR AU NZ and popular and hard to get varieties. We discussed new varieties like GR Huell Melon, Hallertauer Blanc, US Equanot, El Dorado and AU Enigma and NZ Wai-iti. We also talked about new forms of hop delivery including Flex, Extract, Oils, Hop Hash and Lupulin Powders.
Last but not least we touched on Yeast and all its wonder including the world of "clean" yeast or Saccharomyces and the wild and free land of bacteria including Brettanomyces and other sour and interesting strains.
Melbourne Brewers went onto judge some amazing Stouts ahead of Westgate Brewers Stout Extravaganza in July 2018. Thanks again to Tom and Ian and Duck and all the Committee for the chance to drop in and chat about Malt + Hops + Yeast and share a beer afterwards Cheers #brewhappy #brewlikeapro always

Creating Value for Consumer Packaged Goods Customers in the 21st CenturyCreatovate Pty Ltd
“big” has become “bad” in the food industry
public’s “mounting distrust of Big Food”
consumers are seeking authentic, genuine food experiences,” They are seeking a social and intimate connection to the founders of food companies. They are seeking realness and authenticity.
top 25 U.S. food and beverage companies have lost an equivalent of $18 billion in market share since 2009. “I would think of them like melting icebergs,” he says. “Every year they become a little less relevant.”
Entrepreneurs solve problems – they identify unmet needs and create economic value in the form of new innovative goods and services and truly great entrepreneurs innovate across multiple types of innovation
Employers all want and ask their employees to be more entrepreneurial!
This is not easy. Our lizard brain wants us to be safe secure comfortable, clock in, clock out, collect a cheque and do what is right for our safety
Entrepreneurial behaviour is inherently risky. We need to venture from safe shores, take calculated risks, try new things, do things differently.
In order for us to release our intrapreneur or entrepreneurial traits we need employers who create a culture of entrepreneurial behaviour in their companies
We need to encourage failure fast learning and experiments and tests using live bullets. Rapid prototypes, crude and cheap ways to test theories rather than endless hypothesising and navel gazing.
If we stand still we get eaten by the Lions all around us who are running faster that we are in an ever changing ever speeding up technology fuelled environment
Remember entrepreneurship isn’t a job – it is a mindset – nurture that mindset and be patient and persistent in your pursuit of entrepreneurial outcomes. The journey never ends!
Times are changing fast for your biggest and smallest customers – they need your help to solve their problems and they are willing to pay for value creating solutions.
Entrepreneurship is a mindset – not a job – create an entrepreneurial culture in your company and an environment where entrepreneurial behaviour is welcome and rewarded.
Think past packaging and product when you think about innovation. Incorporate multiple types of innovation in your next go to market strategy so that you can be truly disruptive and transformation in what you take to market – think Tesla – they are thinking well past electric cars – they are solving problems with integrated product systems and multiple types of innovation. They are not accepting the status quo and they are not standing by and letting bad things happen in our world. Be an agent for positive change in your next innovation.
Large companies’ size and culture make disruptive innovation extremely difficult (Blank, 2010). Despite this challenge many large food businesses today recognise the need to be disruptive innovators and test new business models in the digital world.
In this keynote at Food&Drink Business Live! Disruptive Innovation, Creatovate Managing Director, Dermott Dowling takes the audience through some practical learning steps and lessons from local innovators leading the way in this exciting new land of opportunity.
Thinking is the first step in any business innovation. Alas, its hard in isolation. We need each other and our collective mind power to come up with breakthrough ideas to innovate. More often than not we scan the environment for what’s out there already and working? Alternatively, we look for problems – what’s bugging our customers or potential new customers? We can then map the value chain – what can we take out? Where can we fit in? Next step is design & rapid prototyping our ideas. Minimal viable prototypes. Rough and ready is fine lets start testing & experimenting our hypotheses on existing and new customers. As we act, we simultaneously align as a team adapt to the changing customer feedback. We also measure & monitor early results for signs of customer acceptance and readiness to scale our new business model.
Startups are not small versions of large companies. They need different tools for thinking and acting. Its important you create a common language in your company and startup so people are talking on the same page and not hearing Blah! Blah! Blah! when we mention new terms like Business Models. For this reason we recommend a common approach to your hypotheses generation like the Business Model Canvas (Osterwalder, 2012).
Once you have thought and aligned on your initial business model hypotheses get out of the building and ask potential users, purchasers, and partners for feedback on all elements of the business model, including product features, pricing, distribution channels, and affordable customer acquisition strategies. If we accept that startups are engaged in the search for a new business model, we recognize that radical shifts in a startups business model are the norm, rather than the exception. For this reason rather than fire the executive team when the normal approaches to market are not working, we pivot and change tack (Blank, 2013).
Private equity and venture capital are investing in disruptive startups in the food industry.
Large businesses need startups and vice versa. Is there some magic in the middle and what can incumbents do to learn to be lean and act and adapt and innovate like a startup! Established businesses are in danger of not being able to adapt quickly enough, while nimble start-ups fail due to their inability to scale. Tomorrow’s business winners will be the ones who know how to combine the two (David Butler, VP Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Coca-Cola)
Our Food Future: How to Create Value from Commodities case studyCreatovate Pty Ltd
Looking out to 2050 what are some of the mega-trends that will impact on our food and beverage landscape as growers, processors, manufacturers and marketers of consumer packaged goods.
Global population growth past 9b by 2050 combined with increased urbanisation, changing diet patterns in the developing world and water shortages and climate change will impact detrimentally on food supply and exacerbate demand for protein and sugar and other soft commodities.
Food manufacturers will continue to consolidate as they attempt to extract efficiency from farm to shelf and retailers will grow globally, albeit with greater changes due to localisation challenges in global retail.
Fonterra case study on how an integrated supply chain from farm to shelf has increased returns to shareholder returns from cow to shelf using highly segmented nutritional products marketed to life stage needs segments.
With estimates that the global population will expand by 2.7 billion by 2050, …, pressure is mounting for farmers to lift yields by 50 per cent to keep abreast of growth in global demand.
We need to create conditions for innovation and then invest so that innovation moves from the lab to the farmer’s fields.
The Australian food industry as a whole supports 317,000 direct jobs, and a flow through of
about 1.6 million jobs. Yet Australian food producing and manufacturing sectors have
struggled to receive the recognition and support they deserve. Australia’s food
manufacturing exports are still very strong, worth $17 billion a year, more than education and
tourism. Australia also sits on the edge of a very fast growing and immense opportunity to
feed the booming middle class of Asia which is forecast to grow from 500 million people to 3
billion people in the coming decadesii.With the inevitable change of diet that increasing
affluence brings to our Asian neighbours we can expect to see a shift towards a more protein
rich diet and a desire to enjoy the good food, wine and cheer that many of us in Australia
enjoy every day.
Innovation in the food industry is sorely needed to meet the changing lives and needs of
today’s consumers, customers and communities.
Business innovation and international business need to be high on your priorities so you can
do more with less and learn from the fast emerging mega-markets in our region and their
immense demand potential for the Australian Food Industry.

Global food challenge Australian international business opportunityCreatovate Pty Ltd
Guest lecture to International Business students on global food challenge and opportunity for Australian International Food Businesses including a case study on Berri Indonesia.
The future is “uncertain” and certain
By 2050 9.5 billion of us will be hungry!
However, by 2030 2 billion of us will be overweight and 1 billion obese.
Consolidation of manufacturers will continue at faster rates and retailers albeit more challenging in global retail.
Expect a significant step up from the competition in your home market when you go abroad to build your business.
Going global in food and beverage manufacturing, marketing and retailing is easy is it not? The big get bigger and fewer in number. The little guys keep popping up in their local niches. The middle gets squeezed. Its not all beer and skittles expanding your exports in Asia and its even harder if you are a retailer. The opportunity is there for business to capture in the long run we have more hungry mouths to feed and innovation is sorely needed to grow and feed the population sustainably.

Think about the questions you can ask under each Key Factor to solicit enough information to make a decision with your head as well as your heart and gut in terms of if the company and people sitting opposite you are the right partners to work with into the future and build a brand together overseas in their host market.
Efficiency & Scale: (route to market / margin % request)
Margin requested? What %, absolute, terms of trade, payment terms? Date and damage history & allowance? Stock controls? Forecasting? Systems? Processes?
