Our daughter is allergic to barley and soy. She can’t have beer. She enjoys wine, so it’s not been too difficult once she figured out what was the culprit for her tummy troubles.

Growing up we had chili with beans over rice. Beans and rice makes a complete protein.

So barley is a cold weather crop and in danger from warmer temps and longer growing seasons?

It does use milled rice, not rice malt.

From the article: “When used as an adjunct (40% of the grain bill), rice malt could lower production costs by 2-12% compared to using milled rice, mainly by eliminating the need for additional enzymes and processing steps.”

This sounds like the main purpose of this is to make cheap beer cheaper, not to make good beer with alternate ingredients.

I’d like to, but very rare here on the Big island of Hawaii.
They only carry what “Locals” drink.

could help the brewing industry adapt to climate change. . .

Gosh, I'm sorry, I thought this story was about grown-ups--rather than child-slaves punching a clock and learning not to try to think in a state-run school.

Water, barly or wheat malt, and Hops is the recipe for beer according to the German purity laws dating back to sometime in the 1400s. Babylonians used twice baked barley loafs and sugar palm dates.

Rice, millet, corn, or sorghum will make mashable sugars that get you alchol and so do the job, but they are not the same as "Liquid bread"

I occasionally have gout so I have had to stop drinking beer and using a lot of animal and fish proteins.

This is a study by University of Arkansas to solve an imaginary problem and sell Rice from Arkansas. I do not think we will run out of land to plant barley.

As climate change threatens barley production, ...

Since the climate has hardly changed at all is there really any threat to barley production?
If so, what is the real threat not this #FakeScience threat?

I read a book that said beer clears your arteries. I basically hate beer but found one I could almost enjoy, Pilsner Urquell. Very pricey and out of stock almost everywhere.

I gave it up after a couple of months and switched to wine with dinner. Red wine raises your blood pressure, so found a Chardonnay I like. From Australia, available at my nearby Safeway at a good price.

Rice uses a lot of water for cultivation. Arkansas aquifers in rice country suffer from compaction and deeper water table levels.
