Concentrates and genetically modified yeast brew a more sustainable beer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
When it comes to the impact of climate change on agriculture, hops aren\u2019t usually the first crop to come to mind. But rising temperatures and increasingly extreme weather are taking a toll on hops, barley, and other ingredients used in brewing beer, which are in turn driving up costs.<\/p>\n
According to Statista, since 2016, the cost of hops has increased by more than a dollar per pound\u2014and it\u2019s nearly doubled since 2011.<\/p>\n
Inflation is partially to blame, but the price of hops is also a result of plain-old supply and demand. Droughts and other inclement weather like prolonged forest fires in California, Oregon, and Washington (where the majority of U.S. hops are grown) have stymied production.<\/p>\n
At the same time, popular varieties like IPAs and fruit-forward beers require more hops than standard lagers and other styles of suds, and Americans\u2019 appetite for these brews show no signs of abating.<\/p>\n
This confluence of challenges is forcing beer purveyors to seek more sustainable solutions that can maintain production levels without compromising taste. Companies like Colorado-based Sustainable Beverage Technologies (sbt) are also exploring ways to reduce their carbon impact from shipping large quantities of beer across the country.<\/p>\n
The genesis of SBT can be traced to when founder Patrick Tatera realized that soda manufacturers cut time and costs by shipping their product as concentrate. The beer world, by contrast, still transports fully finished products.<\/p>\n
SBT CEO Gary Tickle says the field was ripe for innovation, especially considering how little has changed in the brewing process over hundreds of years.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the monks from Munich came back from the 1500s, they could probably still run a brewhouse,\u201d Tickle says. \u201cThat\u2019s not a bad thing because it has its artisanal roots and traditions \u2026 but in the modern context of the challenges that face the industry\u2014like many industries\u2014we can\u2019t deny the fact that there are a lot of environmental factors that we have to consider when making beer.\u201d<\/p>\n
These factors encompass everything from how the raw materials are grown to how much water is used to the environmental impact from moving beer across the country. The whole process produces a large carbon footprint, Tickle says. Plus, it\u2019s not especially efficient.<\/p>\n
To help combat some of the environmental pressures, SBT created BrewVo, a proprietary process that produces condensed beer at one-sixth the volume of traditional beer by removing much of the water needed during standard brewing procedure.<\/p>\n
As a concentrate, the beer has intense flavors and must be reconstituted ahead of serving. SBT\u2019s NexDraft Tap System, a patented technology, mixes the condensed beer with water, carbon dioxide, and alcohol to transform it into a recognizable product. It\u2019s like a soda fountain but for beer.<\/p>\n
SBT creates the condensed beer using a process it refers to as nested fermentation. After brewing a portion of beer, the BrewVo machine removes alcohol and adds a new batch of wort, allowing for additional fermentation. After repeating the process a handful of times, what\u2019s left is a concentrated nonalcoholic beer base, which can then be packaged alongside the removed alcohol.<\/p>\n
The condensed beer is packaged in a disposable bag and shipped in a box, making for an exponentially easier transport than kegs. The process is also more environmentally friendly because once used, the boxes and bags don\u2019t have to be shipped back to the point of origin.<\/p>\n
And while the cost surrounding new technology is a perennial concern for businesses, Tickle says it isn\u2019t a concern with the BrewVo and NexDraft systems\u2014quite the opposite.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s cost-competitive pound for pound,\u201d he says. \u201cEverybody across the supply chain, from the manufacturer to the retailer, has a chance to take a piece of the savings from the revised model.\u201d<\/p>\n
While SBT delves into the technological side of sustainable beer, companies like Omega Yeast focus on the actual ingredients, specifically the yeast involved in the brewing process.<\/p>\n
Yeast is an integral component when making beer, but it isn\u2019t typically the source of those juicy notes that characterize so many IPAs. Instead, fruit-forward beers, which have risen in popularity over the past decade, derive their flavors largely from hops.<\/p>\n
When using traditional ingredients, hops act as the supplier for fruity flavors, specifically citra, mosaic, amarillo, and simcoe hops. These varieties are almost exclusively grown in the Pacific Northwest due to licensing, meaning brewers looking to capture in-demand fruity flavors are dependent on that particular region, regardless of where their own operation is based.<\/p>\n
