The global brewing industry is working on ways to adapt key crops and secure water supplies in a hotter world. Read more at straitstimes.com.
LONDON – Zoran Gojkovic holds up a glass of golden, foam-topped lager against the light before taking a long, slow draught. “The main flavour is crispness,” says the master brewer for Carlsberg A/S. “It has a slight malty note with a noble hop aroma.”
Other research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in 2017 concluded that without adaptation measures, each degree of higher temperature would, on average, reduce yields of wheat by 6 per cent, rice by 3.2 per cent, soybean by 3.1 per cent and corn by 7.4 per cent. Supply suffers, too. In Europe, the source of 60 per cent of the world’s barley, droughts and heat waves reduced production by 12.1 per cent from 1964 to 2015, according to a 2021 estimate published in Environmental Research Letters. Another study in the journal Nature Plants in 2018 indicated that warmer climes could lower global beer supply by up to 16 per cent and double its price in years when the effects of climate change are most extreme, based on scientists’ scenarios.
“We already know some of the most important barley mutations linked to drought tolerance,” says Birgitte Skadhauge, head of Carlsberg Research Laboratory, which employs about 100 scientists. “It gives us in-built insurance against climate change.” In response, Carlsberg says: “We have decided to make the technology of certain variants accessible to any breeder, seed producer, maltster and brewer under licence and have no intention to revoke any licence given.”
