Save the Earth! Do it Now! Do it for the BEER!




Scientists are showing that climate change is affecting our beer. Hops crops (hehe) are being negatively affected by gradual change in air temperature as a result of global warming. The alpha acid levels in hops are gradually diminishing. Alpha acids are responsible for hop bitterness and flavoring.

This is all I needed to hear. I was a good steward of Earth before reading this article, but I am going to be the biggest tree-hugging, carbon-footprint-reducing, recycling, composting, locavore hippie you have ever met. We can't start fucking with the beer!

Do it for the hops!
