No More Beer!
MARCH 26, 2024
By Paul Homewood
Today’s silly climate scare from the BBC:
Climate change threatens to "call time" on the great British pint.
But scientists are working with the brewing industry to help save it.
Hops give bitter its taste but the plant doesn’t like the hotter, drier conditions we’ve experienced in recent decades and production has plummeted.
Researchers in Kent are isolating hop genes in the hope of producing more climate-change resilient varieties.
They also want to produce more intense flavours that are now becoming popular.
"Without it, the British pint is going to die off," Danielle Whelan of the Shepherd Neame brewery said of the work.
