I love beef barley soup, but can’t find barley in any of the local grocery stores.

As for rice, nothing beats the flavor of short grain brown rice. Nice nutty flavor.

I only made it to 12 words before I stopped reading (climate change).

Of course it was the Israelis who perfected drip irrigation and with rice too. This is one of several companies marketing Israeli tech. 70% less water use on par with or less than corn per unit of starch. Rice is a C3 plant so it is already less efficient than C4 corn in photosynthesis.

Fair.

The local golf course has the regular on tap in the clubhouse, only $4 a pint! Love being able to hand them a five-spot and that’s done with tip. I’ll stop by after checking my mail on the Vespa (central mailboxes here).

Yes, but I have a few members of the family and several friends who are vegetarian for whatever reason (not vegan). I have learned to make an all veggie chili, so the beans and rice combo gives the complete protein that it lacks otherwise. It’s actually very good, and the meat eaters don’t realize there isn’t meat in it.

She probably has sake sometimes.

Me? I drink rum or bourbon. Very rarely beer, but hubby loves it.

The name of the actual article, not the linked story, is:

Evaluating the costs of alternative malting grains for market adaptation: a case study on rice malt production in the U.S

To which I would propose this subtitle:

Climate change as an alibi for brewer's economic decision to produce rice and corn based swill.

Growing Barley: a guide for beginners (GrowerExperts.com)

“Barley can be grown in spring and winter, depending on the variety and the region. Spring barley is typically sown in the early spring, while winter barley is sown in the fall and harvested in the following summer”.

I’m sure the beer experts in our soon to be 51st state, Canada, will be more than happy to take over the shortage and produce significantly more barley than the Carolinas and Arkansas ever dreamed of producing. They can stick to cotton.

“As climate change threatens barley production,”
If climate change leads to reduced barley production, and since “climate change” has been happening since Al Gore invented it in 1989, why is there still any barley at all?

Simply state 'climate change threatens' to justify cutting production of your product in order to force a rise in prices. It's scamarific!

Yeah. I'm a cynic.

My one and only is Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA. Good bitter and strong. Once in a while...Voodoo Ranger IPA when Dogfish Head 90 is out of stock. I’ve never had a Budweiser. Ever.

Not celiac, thank goodness. What she has is called eosinophilic esophagitis. She had reflux and heartburn in college, once she started having beer. My nephew has it, too. Both were diagnosed in their mid 20’s. My daughter is also very allergic to shellfish and has asthma. It’s all related somehow.

So true! Budweiser is an alcholic “Malt Beverage”.
