Beer tastes bad on purpose to highlight climate change
(KYMA, KECY/CNN) - A new beer tastes bad on purpose.
'Fat Tire' released what it calls 'Torched Earth Ale' which is meant to raise climate awareness. The brewery says it is made with low-quality ingredients that brewers might be forced to use in the future. The result, it tastes terrible.
For example, instead of fresh hops- it used hop extracts and dandelions.
Fat Tire says it wanted to make the point that climate change also affects beer lovers everywhere.
'Torched Earth Ale' continues a commitment to climate change for the company.
Last year, Fat Tire became "America's first certified carbon neutral beer."
