Did you know the US drinks the second-most beer globally, a massive 24 million kiloliters yearly? 🍺
But as temperatures rise, barley, a key ingredient, faces challenges. How can we safeguard the future of our favorite brew?
🌾 Droughts, heat stress, and erratic weather affect barley yields, impacting both quality and cost.
However, farmers and brewers are innovating with new, climate-resilient varieties. 🌱
Winter #barley varieties like Thunder and Lightning developed by Oregon State Professor Patrick Hayes can be planted in fall or spring, are resilient, and disease-resistant. This can help tackle climate challenges and ensure a steady supply of quality barley. 🍻
Some breweries are even experimenting with Kernza, a regenerative organic certified perennial grain that sequesters carbon and promotes soil health.
What factors do you think contribute most to the increasing price of beer?
