I was somewhat dismayed by a comment in a wine blog (http://www.wineanorak.com/twocultures.htm) that suggested the agricultural input into beers and whisky was minimal, whereas for wine it was all important. Granted, most production maltsters are working to brewers specifications, and the economics of scale would make it difficult for them to hold different region's different varieties in separate storage bins. But with the growth of microbreweries, could the idea of terroir ever be exploited as a selling angle by breweries? In centuries gone we must have relied to an extent on local rather than global, and I feel that there are fragments of our traditional ales that are defined by region. Who knows, it may be that with spiralling transport costs, both economically and environmentally, we may be forced into thinking down these lines.
