Cocktails

This literally just popped up on my radar.

I’ve never had anything like it, and it interests me. But I’m not likely to try it anytime soon.

A new channel to follow! Thanks.

This is technically a beer question rather than a cocktail question, but does any of you know if there's any beer currenrly on the market that's just fermented wheat or barley with nothing else added (and most especially no hops)?

That's tough - there's really nothing our there in the mass market that satisfies the no hops requirement. I would really look at another drink like mead. Mead has a lot of variety in flavor and complexity, and even amongst the beers that get close to having no hops, like Dogfish Head's Midas Touch (which still has hops), it's very mead-like as a result.

I honestly don't understand why hops is still used in beer at all. It was originally added as a preservative, but now beer is canned, refridgerated, and frequently has a higher alcohol content. There's no reason anymore to throw in a bunch of crap that just makes it bitter.
