For years, an increasing number of scientists have warned about the side effects of climate change like rising oceans and unpredictable changes in weather patterns.
But this may be the most serious repercussion of climate change identified to date: Beer may taste different.
That's according to the research of Colleen Doherty, an associate professor of molecular and structural biochemistry at N.C. State University.
Doherty studies the connections between time and stress in plants, according to the university. In a recent post on the university's website, she explained how changing temperatures will affect hops and other beer ingredients.
Growers have cultivated different varieties of hops that produce different chemical compounds in order to provide distinctive flavors in beers.

I suppose the Whiskey test for covid 19 would work with beer. Pour a beer and sniff the glass to get the fragrance. Then drink the glass of beer. If it smells ok and taste ok. Repeat as necessary. I checked me 12 times last night. I don’t have covid but I peed a lot. :)
OK...now this Schiff is getting series.
Hopefully it’ll improve that IPA shit.
So just go to the beach and have a beer.
I’ll bet if transgenerism is ever added to the list, global warming will become a good thing.
All
Would it taste great or be less filling ?
Mead is good.
Beer is only good for killing Slugs in your Garden
gloBULL warming (aka climate change BS) is purported to murder all of us in fewer than 10 years...so who gives a rat’s a**?
Them's fighting words, pal, I'm an IPA snob and proud of it!
Before or after it’s ran through your urinary tract? Inquiring minds and all that stuff, ya know.
Youngsters won't get that one. Great commercials, entertaining instead of insulting your intelligence.
Is that all it takes to be a scientist these days? You put a "could" in a statement and, voila, you're a scientist?
James Leggate, you’re an idiot.
Beers taste different NOW.
I would rather drink a nice cold Yuengling Octoberfest than Iron City, or PBR, or damned near anything else.
Mr. Leggate, have you ever even tasted beer?
Ask your Mom if you can have one.
What an a-hole.
Maybe it will taste even better!
Just add more hops. Problem solved.
It must be great fun being a Climate Change scientist. Because you can say anything you want as long as the word “could” is in there somewhere.
I think I’ll give it a try. Climate Change could make violins sound like parakeets.
Now whom do I call to get a grant to study this?
Beer?
