Infused beer isn’t a new thing. We have posted about other brands trying out infused product. But in Canada researchers have figured out a way brew beer using bud, not hops.
Per Fortune
Scientists used the stocks, stem, and roots of the cannabis plant as the base of the beer, replacing the barley traditionally used in the brewing process. Scientists said that early attempts at the special brew tasted like cotton broccoli—yikes—but thanks to a chemist and a lot of trial and error, they were able to develop the right combination of hops, water, yeast, and cannabis to make something palatable, according to a Guardian report.
The final result is a non-alcoholic, gluten-free beer that gives drinkers a bit of a high. Scientists describe its flavor as “dry, savory, less sweet than a typical beer flavor.” The psychoactive effects of the tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, also hits you quickly—unusual for an edible. (Er, drinkable?)
The groups goal is to create a non-alcoholic product that gives the same effect as actual beer.
Good luck with that folks.
