"Actually, it’s impacting a lot because these extreme weather conditions… And you can say it’s not only one type of climate. Some areas, it’s a lot of drought, it can be heat, extreme heat, but it can also be far too much rain that’s affecting the plants and also the quality of the crops."

"This is something that’s having a huge impact, not only in Europe, but also in the rest of the world. And that’s also one of the reasons why we here in the laboratory are actually working with other alternative brewing raw materials. It could be sorghum, it could be rice, where we, in a similar way, are trying to find new, more flexible solutions for the future where we can have alternatives that potentially can be used for beer brewing."

"So, what I’m having here is actually a part of our yeast collection. In the Carlsberg Laboratory, we have got more than 50,000 brewer’s yeast strains. And this is, of course, a gold mine for making new yeast strains in the future when we use it for crossing."

19. SOUNDBITE (English) Birgitte Skadhauge, vice-president, Carlsberg Research Laboratory:
"We are sequencing the whole genetic sequence, the whole genetic code of the barley. So, we have been sequencing that in barley and yeast and also in hops now, so we understand the absolute fundamental part of the genes and also the function of the genes. And in order also to make climate-tolerant crops, then we know some of the genes that might give plants the possibility to be more drought-tolerant. If you know what that gene is, then you can maybe improve that even more."

21. SOUNDBITE (English) Birgitte Skadhauge, vice-president, Carlsberg Research Laboratory:
"So, sorghum is a crop that’s very drought tolerant, naturally. But now we are building even further on that to make it, hopefully, more domesticated and also that it’s better or easier for brewers around the world to utilize that for food but also for beverage production."
