Looks like Patagonia is brewing a beer with Hopworks in Portland. 5.5%ish sessionable ale. I think the interesting thing is a wheat like grass called Kernza that they are using (quote below). Supposedly has a light rye like spice associated with the taste as well. "Enter kernza, a Eurasian grass that produces a wheat-like product. In 1983, plant breeders at the Land Institute, a Kansas-based non-profit doing sustainable agriculture problem-solving, started experimenting with a perennial grain. While most grains are annuals—fields must be re-tilled, plowed, and planted each year—kernza sticks around all year, with no need for a costly replanting process." I'll certainly be giving this one a try. http://www.outsideonline.com/2118771/duds-suds-patagonia-getting-beer-business
Here's a new article from NPR on this grain and the beer. http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt...climate-change-this-grain-is-ready-for-a-beer
