“Climate change is hurting craft breweries”

They are casting a wider net until they find something white people really care about...

We had a particularly wet and snowy winter in northern California... Weird.

[The Iceman Cometh]

Two years ago, an unusually warm winter led to widespread drought in Washington's Yakima Valley, a situation that could repeat itself this year. Scientists say these warm winters will likely become standard in another 50 years.

Here in Southwestern Idaho, we have a very wet winter last year and are expecting another one this year. Our irrigation year was normal.

More fake news.

Shortage? No mention of the huge increase of micro breweries and the increased demand for WA hops? Oh yeah, about that.....

“Climate change is hurting KKK and White Supremists”

THAT will get those darn white people thinking!

WHAT?
Climate Change.

Really, how many acres or total tonnage of hops are grown using dryland farming practices?

If one overlays a map of the Columbia River Irrigation Districts with the map showing hop farms, my guess is the overlap will be nearly 100%. Also, include the farms using on-site wells pumping groundwater.

It’s not climate change causing the decreased availability of hops. It is agricultural economics. There is more money (profit) growing wine grapes and orchard crops than growing the lowly hop vine.
