‘Save the Ales’ as part of Earth Hour campaign.
In a 2014 study published to the Journal of Cereal Science, University of Queensland researcher Peter Gous warned that climate change could affect the amount and quality of starch found in barley, which, when malted, is a major ingredient in beer. This would leave brewers with two options: to accept the loss of quality, and produce less tasty beer; or to invest more in their crops to protect them from water stress, and pass that cost onto the beer-drinker.
That’s why the ‘Save the Ales’ campaign is running as part of Earth Hour, encouraging beer drinkers across Australia to go out and celebrate Earth Hour with the Aussie beers that they love, before it’s too late.
