A segment of a larger article on 2013 World Hop production (http://www.brewersguardian.com/index.php/features/1711.html):"Increasing demand from the burgeoning US craft brewing movement is driving a shift in planting of hop varieties, away from higher alpha varieties in favour of aroma varieties. George reported a 50:50 split between alpha and aroma acreage, compared to a ratio of 70:30 four years ago."So how come hop producers still put something as useless as Beta Acid content on hop packaging but not even total oils let alone a breakdown of which oils are present in what quantities. I hope it won't take the industry long to figure out that this is a key piece of info.
