Climate crisis will change taste of beer and make it more expensive, say scientists
SKY News ^ | October 11, 2023

Beer quality is on a steady decline and is likely to cost more at the bar because of climate change, a new study has found.

Experts said with falling hop yields, British and European drinkers should expect to see the cost of beer increase in the coming years.

Researchers highlighted how the increase in agricultural droughts will directly impact the amount of hops grown and the quality.

Hops give beer its distinctive taste and smell and come in many different varieties.

The research "demonstrates a climate-induced decline in the quality and quantity of traditional aroma hops across Europe and calls for urgent adaptation measures to stabilise international market chains".

The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, added "all scenarios predicted a decline in hop yields between 12% and 35% over 2021-2050 across all major hop growing regions in Europe".

The authors said farmers will have to find ways "to adapt" to limit the impact of the heating globe on the crops.

It’s not climate change that is doing the damage. It’s climate change policy.

I am quite sure these “scientists” do not work in the private sector.

If this were true, and it is not.... An enterprising capitalist would find a different region of the world or indoor method to grow the hops.

You can make any result you want depending on how you set up the model. The West had the shortest summer in 20 years and the most snow in 70 years.

Notice how “climate change” makes everything more expensive? And all of that “more expense” costs comes out of the tax-payer pockets and straight into those such as Kerry and Gore.

I am quite sure that the fetish that the climate change robots have for shutting down farms and severely restricting the use of fertilizer has more to do with all crop yields than the climate itself.

Is there anything this CLIMATE SCAM can’t do?

Thankfully all we need to do is to keep throwing more money to the leftist politicians and most of us may survive...

Although we might not want to when we experience the life they have planned for us once their GREAT RESET is complete!

Hops - grow your own.

A local central PA guy turned a hobby into a small business growing hops. Small craft breweries are using them. Here is one such brewery that is utilizing locally grown hops https://lindgrenbrewery.com/

I did a tour of the Budweiser facility in Merrimack NH about 15 years ago. They had a small patch of hops growing and I was thinking I should add that crop to my garden. Never followed through with it but may have to reconsider since it will be like gold. But then again since we only have around 7 years left on this planet why bother.
