In a world full of different types and varieties of beer, from every country to every refrigerator, enter the new kid on the block: organic beer!
For all of you connoisseurs of beer, you must try an organic brand. Why? The biggest reason is these beers are as close to tasting like an original beer from the past than anything else on the market. That's right, because when beers were first made and up through the centuries, the beermakers used nothing but natural organic ingredients. So what they produced was an absolutely pure beer taste, with no added chemicals, no fertilizers used for the hops and barley, and no preservatives to maintain stability and freshness. Now that's a beautiful thing, and here is a picture to prove it.
All organic hops are grown in New Zealand, except for one small brewer: Wolaver's who uses American grown organic hops. This guarantees organic beers are unlike anything else out on the market
Most of the organic beer producers are microbreweries, but truth be told, some of the big boys like Anheuser-Busch are getting into the act. And why not? Considering there has been a 10 million-dollar increase in sales over the past 2 years, you can expect more breweries to jump into the fray.
But, get this. There is a loophole in the organic beer business. Our own USDA only requires 95% of ingredients to be certified organic. The rest can be whatever it takes. Consider what makes a beer taste like a beer is a plant called hops. Most commercial beer recipes only call for about 5% hops to be added to give beer a beery taste. This means the big companies can use regular chemically pesticide laced hops for their brew, and still maintain it is as organic. How's that for a bit of working the system?
With the microbreweries, you don't have that problem. They use genuine organic hops and will say so too! You are going to pay a bit more for this type of delectable nectar but this is the real deal here, an absolutely genuine beer that taste exactly like a beer should taste. This is the stuff from the ages and what you should expect when drinking an organic beer.
Here are some brands you can Google, and possibly, find one in your neck of the woods to enjoy a taste treat that won't be beat
Try Wolaver's, or look up the Dogfish Head Brewing Company. Check out Butte Creek, Natureland, and Golden Promise. Find some in your area, take a good swig, and enjoy what beer is really supposed to be like.
