For specific beers, it's also likely that they're using German, Belgian or British malts. Domestic hops are almost assuredly from Washington State, but again, many use European hops, also (and Argentina produces an interesting version of Cascade hops). It's an interesting topic - what constitutes local? We'll be addressing that in a future article. Stay tuned!
