Climate change affects a lot of things.
Because it might have an effect on beer, that might make more people take notice of the many concerns related to climate change.
How climate change is threatening your beer
"A new study out Tuesday [a couple of weeks ago] found drought and higher temperatures will lead to a decrease in the quality and quantity of hops, the aromatic plants that give beer its flavor."
Hops need long days of sunlight during the growing season. Then, they need a couple months of colder temperatures and shorter days to flower and produce the part of the plants used in beer brewing. That’s why hops are normally grown in a narrow range of higher latitudes like in central Europe and the Pacific Northwest."
So, if you like your beer hoppy, pay attention to climate change.
Prost!
