Newsweek
"For centuries, European enthusiasts have quietly "laid down" bottles of
full-bodied, alcohol-rich stouts, barley wines, porters, strong ales and
ciders to mature in the cool of their cellars. The practice spread to the
States during the craft-brewing boom of the 1980s and '90. (Sierra Nevada,
Stone, Laguinitas and Anchor all produce age-worthy bottles.)"

"When television shows talk about fine dining and the discussion leads to
fine beverages, generally it's wine and spirits that get the lip service,
while beer can't seem to get a word in edgewise.
But two California men, Christopher Burke and Jared Cotton, along with Mark
Marion of Cambridge, MA want to change that."

"Stone Brewing Company from San Diego is arguably the most notorious player
on America’s exhilarating craft brewing scene. It’s young (born in 1996), it
makes seriously outrageous, unusual beers and has recently opened a
state-of-the-art $14m brewery that frankly looks like it’s been designed by
Salvador Dali and Fred Flintstone – after they’ve had a heavy session on
Stone’s infamously strong ales."

"There's something about eating food that was grown in a way that enriches
rather than depletes the soil, that hasn't been sprayed with chemicals to
keep it "fresh" for months, and that hasn't been trucked across the country
or flown across the world, that feels good as well as tastes good. Greg
Koch, co-owner of Escondido's Stone Brewing World Bistro and Gardens, feels
the same way."

"The Brewers Association, a Denver-based industry group, estimates that global demand for hops exceeds supply by 10 percent to 15 percent. Add poor harvests, the loss of arable land to development, and farmers increasingly turning to corn instead of barley and hops – thank you, ethanol! – and you have Beercalypse Now."

Brewers in North San Diego County and Southwest Riverside County say hops ---- the ingredient that gives beer its biting zing and heady aroma ---- is in short supply. Across the world, breweries are scrambling to secure supplies. In some cases, they're coming up short. "The impact is dramatic," said Greg Koch, chief executive of craft brewer Stone Brewing, based in Escondido. "It's going to affect pricing. It affects our ability to do special projects and other things that we had in mind," said Koch

"Yes, the brewery that touts most arrogantly that "Fizzy yellow beer is for wussies" has just hired (liberated?) someone who's spent much of his career brewing for one of the largest "fizzy yellow beer" makers on planet Earth.
