Some brewery should start a series of beers named in honor of people who are promoting science in this age of pretending it doesn’t exist. No climate change here, move along.
Maybe Asheville Brewing Company will take up that mantle since they have recently debuted their Bier Lemongrass Tyson in honor of Neil DeGrasse Tyson the noted astrophysicist and often guest on TV shows like the Daily Show.
Apparently, he let slide that he was a fan of weissbeers so the ABC brewed up a Belgian wit style made with lemongrass, sweet orange peel, coriander, and dry-hopped with, wait for it, Galaxy Hops. It won’t make it outside of Asheville but hopefully it will sell well since a portion of the proceeds go to a local museum of science.
