Organic
Beers
The USDA established the
National Organic Program in 1997, opening the door for organic beer. The
guidelines for organic beer are the same as for all organic foods: The
ingredients must be grown without synthetic chemical pesticides, herbicides, or
fertilizer and in soil that has been free from such chemicals for at least 3
years. No genetically modified (GMO) ingredients can be used in the brewing
process. Studies show that organic farming reduces erosion and ground-water
pollution and that it significantly lessens the impact on wildlife.
Cornell
University estimate that at least 67 million birds die each year from pesticides
sprayed on US fields.[ii]
While uniformity is not a strong point of organics - or
craft-beers, for that matter - brewers say that organic hops, which are
difficult to come by, typically offer a better and stronger aroma. Do
organic ingredients create a better beer? Some brewers believe the answer is
yes, claiming that organic malts and hops have no chemical residues to interfere
with the fermentation process.
