This has been a week with a lot of odd stories involving beer. Hereâs a couple of the better ones. Larry Kudlow, currently a commentator at Fox Business Channel, formerly of both CNBC and an economic advisor in the Trump administration, attempted to make a point that climate policy set forth by the Biden administration would restrict personal diets, specifically red meat consumption. In a less than eloquent argument, he stated, âSo get ready. You can throw back a plant-based beer with your grilled Brussels sprouts and wave your American Flag.â Not to get into the false statements that this rant was politically (or factually), the point I would like to make is that all beer is plant-based. Hops, barley, wheat, rice, corn all start and end their life cycle as a plant. True, I did write a column two weeks ago about Busch Brew for Dogs, made with bone broth and bone-in pork shoulder. However, the beer specifically states in the name it is for dogs. My suggestion, if spending Independence Day with Mr. Kudlow, bring your own beer.
