I brewed my own beer back in the 70s. I dumped hops into the beer. Made it taste good. Hope are relatively cheap weeds. What’s the issue with using hops?
So much for Lil Sumpin Sumpin and Hoptimus Maximum....
I ain’t drinking a genetically engineered beer Lagunitas.
CRISPR’d beer?
Really?
I was feeling kind of worried lately about the amount of water hop farms use. I’m relieved a compound invented in a lab can replace that wholesome natural ingredient with it’s centuries long track record. /s
Hops is also a known natural preservative. this was the original reason for adding hops.
If anyone is ever here in Northern California, Lagunitas has a very nice ‘beer sanctuary’. The sampling flights are incredible, they always have some weird experimental stuff to try. But there are a bunch of excellent breweries about, lots of knowledge from wine industry people.
Sounds goot, but I don’t trvst anything the eggheads are for!
Used to brew. Now I just blend (mix). Mostly GOOD IPA/DIPA.
Goose IPA is about it around here...only once have I found HopSlan available, and never BroBen!
A Touch O’ Honey and maybe a small trickle of SoComfort/Rum added! That’s as good as it gets.
Best To Ya!

Do not want! You can pry my hops from my cold, dead hands.
Sustainability and GMO don't go together well from a marketing perspective
The next FReepathon starts in about two weeks.
We need to finish this one first.
Come on FReepers, let’s do this!
GMO synthetic hopp oils, brought to you by monsanto, price built in to prepay for multiple lawsuits to chase after everyone who copies the gene sequence that originally came from nature.
I hope they are at least forced to put a note on the bottle so I know which crap not to buy
I doubt this Article.
Plus, they only compared it to Cascade hops, one of the least complex hops.
I’m a brewer so I will research this further. The two characteristics they were looking at are more yeast attributes than hop characteristics.
Genetically engineered yeast.... will make you like the guy who smoked Cheech & Chong’s weed. He turned into a lizard!
