From WRAL:
A North Carolina brewery is dropping its federal organic certification because of difficulty in finding organic hops and other ingredients.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reported (http://avlne.ws/Z8tOXo) Pisgah Brewing of Black Mountain is dropping its organic certification from the U.S. Agriculture Department.
Pisgah Brewing President David Quinn says the USDA changed its requirements for organic certification about five years ago and no longer has an exception for breweries that use non-organic hops.
