As happens from time to time we take a look at the new beers that will soon invade (or have recently invaded) the international market. Let’s start with one of the latest news, which comes directly from the blog Thirsty Pilgrim. It seems that the Belgian Dupont will introduce, in the next April, a special dry-hopped version of its renowned Saison. In broad outline dry-hopping technique is to add fresh hops directly during fermentation. Will be produced once a year and the availability will be quite limited: they will produce only about 250 kegs and 300 to 500 magnum size bottles. Sounds like an interesting variation on the theme for all those who love this beer. But it will takes a lot of luck to have the chance to sample it.

In times when all the fields of international industry are geared to reduce costs and harmful emissions to the environment, production brewing is following the trend too (or fashion, maybe?). Between innovative research and political courage of some challenging pioneers, gradually even the beer industry is embracing the next revolution of the world: sustainable growth, limited environmental impact, efficiency and waste reduction. In America, the achievements of some microbreweries are already quite substantial.
