Well, according to Jim Salinger, a respected climate scientist with New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, global warming may spell the end of summer days on the patio with a brewski, or of winter nights in front of the tube watching the NHL with a Canadian.
Okay, so Salinger doesn't actually mention anything about Canada or hockey, since his immediate concern is with Australia and New Zealand. But all the same, his concerns about global warming's effect on beer could apply up here, not just Down Under.
Speaking recently at the Institute for Brewing and Distilling convention for Asia-Pacific, Salinger said droughts in Australia have produced shortages of hops and barley. And as the temperature continues to increase, so too will the price of beer, since the yields of hops and barley will likely decrease.
So pressing is this problem, according to Salinger, that Australia might actually begin to run dry of beer within 30 years. More here:
