For the last seven years, Dr. Gresset and his team have been breeding new varieties of hops designed to be more resistant to drought and high temperatures. Some farmers have quickly embraced them, because they require less work and money to cultivate. “They want to have their special taste in their favorite beer,” Mr. Hintermeier said of beer drinkers. Because they want to meet the taste that customers want. And therefore, they are very afraid to change the taste of the beer.”
