I the brewer want to make sure that I remain as consistent with my ingredients as possible if I want to maintain the distinct taste of my brand of beer.<BR/><BR/>Interesting stuff. Especially considering malt and hops crops will be negatively affected over the next couple of years for various reasons. Will we see breweries shifting suppliers? How will that affect the taste of beer? Will anybody notice?<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://potablecurmudgeon.blogspot.com/2007/09/hop-world-is-upside-down-in-future-we.html" REL="nofollow">http://potablecurmudgeon.blogspot.com/2007/09/hop-world-is-upside-down-in-future-we.html</A><A HREF="http://potablecurmudgeon.blogspot.com/2007/09/us-barley-acreage-has-declined-to.html" REL="nofollow"><BR/></A><BR/><A HREF="http://potablecurmudgeon.blogspot.com/2007/09/us-barley-acreage-has-declined-to.html" REL="nofollow">http://potablecurmudgeon.blogspot.com/2007/09/us-barley-acreage-has-declined-to.html</A>Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08522250477305289784noreply@blogger.com
