Helpful Climate Change Tips – By Drinkers.

   Throughout the world proud farmers are dealing with a variety of climate change issues such as drought, wildfires and these new wars are not helping either.

These proud farmers that are fighting against climate change anyway they can with the science that they have at hand. Only to feed the world. But you can only do what you can with what you have. Another drought would devastate the production of wheat, barley and other grains which would bring shortages of a grain yield to the already starving world.

Shortage of wheat and other grains would bring the prices of bread, cookies, pastries, noodles and granola bars to triple or more in cost.

Worst yet shortage of barley due to climate change would triple the prices of baby food, breakfast cereal and BEER!

   So, with that in mind Dr. Wetbrain thought of ways to help the climate change problem.

– Save on water consumption – Flush toilet on every 4th or 5th pee break. Flushing all beer pees is not needed for a gallon of good water, wasted.

– Save on plastic waste – 6 or 8 pack plastic rings for cans, collect as many as you can into a plastic garbage bag. Will be easy for recyclers to separate to the good bin. Plus save the lives of some of those poor seagulls being chocked to death by this plastic beer can holder from the dump.

  – Don’t drive while drunk! –  Save gas, fossil fuel and pollution by using an EV Uber or EV taxi or even a bus. Let us not forget the loss of a few years of your normal life from an expensive impaired charge.

– Beer or whiskey can and bottle empties – Take in all your bottles and cans to your nearest bottle depot. An investment for your next purchase of beer or whiskey.

   Dr. Wetbrain concluded. That’s all I have for helping the climate change problem for now. Perhaps more tips to come. Stay tuned.

Climate Change and the Beer Shortage.

Climate Change and the Beer Shortage.

 

“Harold you are spilling out a 1/8th of a bottle of beer! What are you doing? That’s alcohol abuse.” Dr. Wetbrain yelled.

“Spit, backwash”, Harold remarked.

“That’s no excuse. Don’t you know a beer shortage is coming thanks to climate change?” Wetbrain concluded.

Sure, the barley crop was plentiful at one time until the climate change effect came into view. Drought and heat waves are the main culprits in depleting the barley harvest. Droughts, heat waves, floods, hailstorms, grasshoppers’ migration, wildfires (smoke) all have contributing factors to climate change and the production of the most popular alcohol drink – BEER.

Severe droughts and heatwaves were highly hit in North America, UK and China. Other worst hit territories include Belgium, Ukraine, Czech Republic and Ireland.

Beer loving Ireland could triple on beer prices soon. Yikes!

All natural products like chocolate, coffee, wine and now Beer are all effected by climate change.

Sadly, Barley is one of the most heat-sensitive crops globally. What timing!

20% of barley goes to Beer. Most barley goes to feed livestock like cows and pigs. So, BBQing with a cold beer is contradicting each other. Funny!

Lots of other Barley hinderance is blamed on distribution, also the illegal invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Putin!!!

Two years ago, Ukraine produced 10 million tons of barley, only 6 million these days. Putin blowing up poor farmers fields, plus the droughts, plus shutting down ship movement in the Black Sea made a great decline in their barley distribution.

It did not help that in the middle of July 2023 Russia bombed the port city of Ukraine in Odesa destroying 60,000 tons of wheat and barley.

Oktoberfest in Munich Germany which hosts 7 million thirsty visitors will suffer from the fate of beer. Thank you climate change.

Eventually we will be paying double to triple the price for our beloved beer. Talk about inflation.

“Got that Harold! Cherish what we have. No more spilling out ‘spit, backwash and beer‘.”

Putin Is a Dink, Beer – Putin Huylo.

Putin Is a Dink, Beer.

Putin Huylo.

 

Putin Huilo - new beer from Lviv

 

Dr. Wetbrain at the liquor store came across a 4 pack of beer with a very cool looking label. Had to buy it for research purposes.

Ends up that this beer is produced around the world due to the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine which started February 24, 2022. A Ukrainian beer called ‘Putin Huylo’. Roughly translated as ‘Putin is a Dink’.

The words ‘Putin Huylo’ were heard first as a protest song towards the 2014 Russian attack on Ukraine. ‘Huylo’ means dick or can be translated as dickwad, dickhead and prick. They all describe Vladimir Putin to a T. The human atrocities and horrible illegal war crimes brought on by the tyrant President Putin. What’s wrong with this heartless idiot? Lots I would say. Even his family is pissed off at him. If you look up ‘dickhead’ in the dictionary, Putin’s picture is there.

Was Putin drunk when he thought of this invasion?

The Putin Huylo was originally brewed by Pravda Brewing in Lviv, Ukraine. And now this brewing company makes Molotov Cocktails for the cause. Sort of like whiskey distilleries converting to make hand sanitizers for the Covid epidemic.

Pravda Brewery continues for the cause by giving their beer recipe to any brewery who wants it worldwide. A lot of the worldwide brewers are brewing the Putin Huylo beer with the original recipe and label with all profits going to the Ukrainian Humanitarian Relief. You can help by just drinking beer!

I tried a can or 6 of this strong 8% alc./vol beer. For research purposes only and of course contributions to the Ukraine cause. Pravda Breweries made the Putin Haylo as a dry hopped golden ale brewed with Pilsner malt, Cara Munich and wheat. The beer was very enjoyable, for strong beer. Had a hint of grapefruit flavour I thought.

Pretty much all liquor stores in North America are refusing to sell Russian vodka, wine and beer. That will show Russia that we are not fooling around.
