This article from Beervana is useful for a couple things, I think.
First, of course, it provides information about the strides that the industry is making with malt and malting, to change how beer tastes.
But I also think it is a window into what brewers will play with next: hops have gotten the limelight for nearly 30 years and scientists have been playing with yeasts forever.
I’m looking forward to what they do with new malting knowledge!
