To show what the future of beer could look like if climate change continues unchecked, we brewed up Torched Earth Ale. This beer uses the kind of ingredients that would be available in a climate-ravaged future including: smoke-tainted water, drought-resistant grains, shelf-stable extracts and dandelion weeds. While it’s technically beer, it’s not great. Although beer will be the least of our worries in a full-on climate crisis, we’re brewers at heart and just can’t imagine a world of “torched beer” like this. That’s why we need to act now.
