By Geoff Kirbyson c Elias of the world rejoice you too can look Forward to the same Beer induced hangover on new years Day As the rest of us. Nuru a new gluten free Beer for people who Are allergic to Barley malt has just appeared in liquor stores around Winnipeg. Its a creation of the Canadian malting Barley technical Centre that uses maltose Corn syrup and pea lentil or bean extract to add carbohydrates and protein other Beers get from Barley malt. Rob Mccaig managing director and director of brewing at pm Etc and a former brewmaster at Molson breweries said while Only one or two per cent of the population has been diagnosed As allergic to Barley malt some studies have shown up to one third of people have some sensitivity to it. Symptoms include anaemia chronic diarrhoea weight loss fatigue cramps bloating and irritability. He said the first Nuru recipe is a Light Beer in the same vein As Labatt Lite or Bud Lite to Cater to the vast majority of Manitoban who prefer a Light and Sweet taste profile. It is being brewed under contract by fort Garry brewing co. Nuru was developed at the Imbt cos facilities on main Street a Plant Mccaig says is the third largest brewery in the province. Fort Garry and half pints brewing Are bigger pm Etc can mimic the brewing process of any brewery in the world and packages a maximum of 100 litres per month for analysis and tasting. Clients include fort Garry Anheuser Busch Creemore Springs in Ontario uni Broue in Quebec and breweries in Nigeria and South Africa. Were doing three or four brews a week which is 750 litres but most of what we produce goes Down the Drain he said noting Revenue excise Canada rules prevent it from Selling any of its Beer or giving it away. At Molson Mccaig led development of Molson dry Rickards red and Molson Excel. John Coward general manager of Buccal Inous Cucina Italiana started stocking Nuru last week. He said it complements their gluten free pasta. The need started coming up. More and More people were asking about it adding it to the menu was driven by the customer. Its becoming a More prominent allergy he said. Doug Saville brewmaster of fort Garry which was recently bought by b. C. Based Russell brewing said Nuru is just a Small portion of his operation but hers optimistic it will grow. There Are lots of Celiaus out there. Nuru has a very Good flavour. Even non Celiaus have tried it and liked it he said. Jim Venn chief operating officer of far pure beverages a Regina based company owned by More than 200 Farmers that has partnered with pm Etc on Nuru is looking for co packing partners across the country. Part of Imbt cos mandate is to promote Canadian malting Barley internationally. Of the nine million tonnes produced every year Only 2.2 million tonnes makes the Grade for Beer. At present Canadian Farmers Are benefiting from drought in Australia and excessive rain in Europe the two main competing areas. Brewers in Europe Are having trouble getting enough raw materials to make Beer Venn said. Geoff. Kirbyson free press. My. Ca by Joe Paraskevas less than two weeks of Holiday shopping remain and there Are Only a few signs that recalls of chinese made toys earlier this year have made Consumers More cautious about buying anything with a made in China Label. Neither toy store owners nor watchers of buying trends say they have spotted a significant drop in sales of chinese manufactured toys. In fact they suggest reports of Chin ass manufacturing flaws and predictions of a consumer Holiday backlash against toys made in that country May have been overblown. Well were getting the Odd question of people a Hove been put in a panic by the Media said Ray England owner of Toad Hall toys the 30 year old downtown Winnipeg establishment that has the largest selection of toys in Canada. The Media have done a terrible disservice in misinformation on this subject England added. England suggested most problems with toys Stem from design flaws which Are the responsibility of toy companies rather than manufacturing errors which occur at factories where the toys Are actually made. Media reports last throughout this year have focused on problems such As Lead paint use in chinese factories. However research by Hari Bapuji a University of Manitoba International business professor has pointed to greater problems in toy design. Bapuji looked at 20 years of data on recalls of toys made in China and found 76 per cent were related to design flaws such As Small parts or Sharp edges. By comparison about 10 per cent of recalls were traced to manufacturing practices such As poor Assembly or the use of Lead paint Bapuji reported in september. In Winnipeg toy stores staff said they have heard relatively few concerns about chinese made toys. Occasionally said Liza Minotti Barker manager at the Grant Park Centre store of a Childs place. Just this morning someone comes in and looks for toys specifically not from China. For the most part i a vent noticed a lot of concern any More. Joe. Paraskevas free press. My. Ca brew news the Canadian malting Barley technical Centre has created Nuru a new Beer targeted to people who Are allergic to Barley malt. Heres a Quick snapshot of the illness and the Market Opportunity. Although Only one or two per cent of the population has been diagnosed As Celia some studies show that up to one third of the population has some sensitivity to Barley malt. Symptoms include anaemia chronic diarrhoea weight loss fatigue cramps bloating and irritability. The entire Canadian Beer Market produces 25 million hectolitres of Beer per year. If Celiaus drank As much Beer As everybody else assuming they represent one per cent of the population they would drink 250,000 hectolitres per year. Fort Garry brewing by comparison has an annual capacity of 80,000 hectolitres.
