Meantime isn't, correct? Stonch – That it is for export doesn’t seem like a good reason for pasteurisation (or pasteurization). Meantime isn’t, correct?

Terroir don’t mean sh*t.” Amazing how people are willing to mock what they should hold dear, simply to excuse their own shortcomings. I had a brewer tell me to my face recently that pasteurisation doesn't damage the flavour of his beer - of course the reason was that much of his produce is for export, so he would say that. “We can grow on asphalt.

Breweries may be looking for more efficient ways to use hops, but they aren't going to abandon hoppy beers.

It feels sometimes like our Texas breweries are just hanging on (except for Saint Arnold, of course, which is reportedly doing very well). We've been hearing from a nascent Southern Star Brewing Co. near Houston, which has already declared its first beer to be a very hoppy Pine Belt Pale. I sure hope they can weather what's coming.
