("On July 1st it became legal to make beer at home in Mississippi. Alabama lifted the threat of prosecution for homebrewers in May. It is now legal to craft your own suds in all 50 states. * * * Idaho even insists that homebrewers use only ingredients grown within the state. It is possible, it turns out, to make beer from those famous potatoes")

Note: The title "Hops and Change" alludes to Obama's 2008 campaign slogan "Hope." The ingredient needed to brew beer is hops, which must be in plural form. See

hop (n): "plural : the ripe dried pistillate catkins of a perennial north-temperate zone twining vine (Humulus lupulus) of the hemp family used especially to impart a bitter flavor to malt liquors"
