The result, is a rich, fiery dark beer with roasted malt aromas, sweet caramel and a hint of dark chocolate. World Beer Cup and repeat Gold Medal winner, Riegele Dunkel is the quintessential Bavarian Dunkel.
If you're reading this story, you probably love beer. According to a study released on Monday in the journal Nature Plants, climate change might bring about seismic changes to the beer world due to one of beer's main ingredients, barley, being heavily affected by extreme drought and heat.
The study is by a team of researchers from China, the U.K. and the U.S. and their findings were alarming. The team projected drought and heat trends for upcoming decades and found that rising global temperatures brought on by climate change might deeply affect barley production in some countries -- causing beer shortages and inflated prices.
According to a Tweet from Steven J. Davis, one of the researchers named in the report, "Under higher-warming climate scenarios, we find 100-year drought and heat events occur every three years, decreasing barley yields by an average 17 percent in those years, and increasing the price of a 6-pack in the U.S. by $1-8."
