Last I heard, yields were very low so while a cool attempt, it’s not clear it can ever compete with wheat. Interesting that they’ve managed to double the yield though I would wonder how the new strains match up before getting too excited.

There’s a brewery here in Portland that has two Kernza beers out now

Cool, are they just locally distributed or could you find them elsewhere? I’d be interested to try them.

These are just locally to Portland I think. Hopworks brewery together with DogFish Head

Ya Kernza has its issues: small harvest, grains ripen at different times and different sizes. But the main issue is wether people will buy it. If there’s a market, then problems will be overcome or overlooked.
