You may have heard that the government shutdown has impacted the ability of breweries to bring new beers to market.
Which is a shame for multiple reasons (which I’m going set aside for purposes of staying topical), but not the least of which is that brewers ought to think about telling their customers what’s in their beer.
Honestly, it is the kind of thing we never had to worry about, even 15ish years ago! But now, there are so many tweaks, unusual ingredients, or flat out odd adjuncts that brewers are combining their beer with, that being aware of the potential risks their customers might take by drinking their beer is the responsible thing to do.
If only there was a regulatory agency that could mandate such things to help protect and inform consumers…
