Quote Plant scientists from Europe are attempting to breed new varieties that can withstand warmer climates, and are planning to install major irrigation systems where traditionally the hop plants haven’t needed additional watering. On Monday 5 May, plant scientists will hash through such issues at a hop conference at the Hop Museum in Wolnzach, Germany.

There are plenty of American microbreweries that produce beer every bit as good or better than the best English beer.  If you haven't had a high gravity, strongly hopped American IPA then you're missing out.  It makes the swill sold as "IPA" in England seem like - well swill. I for one like Cascade hops and it won't be a bad thing for them to be imported into Europe. They have a nice citrusy aroma rather than the more floral Goldings.  Ruddle's County uses Bramley Cross - a cross between a hardy Canadian hop and Goldings. Budweiser won't miss them, if the hop truck drives by the brewery then they'll get all the hop flavor they need. -------------- The organized fossils ... and their localities also, may be understood by all, even the most illiterate.

Have we no Beer Purity Laws in this country? "I value kindness to human beings first of all, and kindness to animals. I don't respect the law; I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and old men and women warmer in the winter, and happier in the summer." (Brendan Behan) In the spirit of that quote, I think we ought to have a decent beer law that would allow someone like AB to brew their abominable swill if and only if the drinkers were made to wear burkhas and bunny ears in public.

That is not why Budweiser is "sweet".  It is because the hop truck only drives by once.  The rice is actually 100% fermentable, lightening the body with no extra residual sugar to speak of. -------------- "Following what I just wrote about fitness, you’re taking refuge in what we see in the world."  PaV "The simple equation F = MA leads to the concept of four-dimensional space."

But Bud isn't 'American beer' any more than Watney's is English beer. Diamondknot IPA is about as close to Bud as a cask conditioned Fuller's London Pride is to a keg Watneys' Red Barrel. -------------- The organized fossils ... and their localities also, may be understood by all, even the most illiterate.
