Well, if we can’t eat plants and we can’t eat animals, we’ll have to eat fish. I love fish but it’s going to get really dull.

"Hops Have Feelings, Too" Indeed they do -- they feel great when combined with malted barley, yeast, and water consumed cold on a hot summer day.

I tned to favor highly hopped ales, myself. A noble destiny for a sensitive hop.

It's not easy being green.
So I bet an IPA is the anti-christ to them.
I like to use a stethoscope so I can hear the hops scream while the hungry wort devours them. It Sounds delicious.

To be an ingredient in beer is the noblest aspiration of any member of the Vegetable Kingdom. You don’t hear barley complaining about it, do you?

Welcome to Free Republic. This is complete bull-puckey.
A majority of the people I work with in the Austin home brewing community are hardcore veggie/vegan PETA types. You can take their beer from their cold dead hands.

What about grass? Don’t these people care about our little green bladed friends? Can you imagine the carnage every time I run the mower.
To: GreenisRed
This can be fought in a similar manner:
Cannabis flowers also form communities and emotional attachment, being close relatives of the Hop. Harvesting and burning them is a senseless act of cruelty. Marijuana must be put on a protected species list.

[According to John Lane of PETH: People for the Ethical Treatment of Hops, hop plants form communities and emotional attachments, so harvesting living hops is an act of cruelty.]
Since I grow my own hops for brewing, I can attest from personal experience that this is 100% correct. Every time I pick a hop cone I can hear a tiny scream. And when I throw a whole handful into the boiling kettle there are a few moments of wailing anguish before they all expire.
