College Food News: No More Beer In 30 Years?
Britain’s Daily Star is reporting that in 30 years the world’s beer supply could be in jeopardy because a hotter climate could be bad for barley crops (the main ingredient in beer that gives it it’s alcohol content). Now, granted, the article is from the Daily Star tabloid, and we’re sure science will fix this by then, but it’s still scary to think about.
The actual news came out of New Zealand’s Institute of Brewing and Distilling convention, where climate scientist Jim Salinger said: ?It will mean either there will be pubs without beer or the cost of beer will go up.”
ABC News doesn’t get so post-apocalyptic on its reader: it just warns that we’d better be ready to see increases in beer prices. As if prices weren’t already high enough? Damnit.
