Beer is mostly water. And because of this fact the type of water used to make beer has a large influence on the final products taste. Most breweries around the world acquire their water from local wells. And because of this the local geology of the area has a major influence on the beer's final quality. The type of rocks in the beer brewing area greatly affect the acidity, shelf life, and general taste.
Take care during your next pint to think about where, geographically, your beer has come from. Then during your second pint enlighten your fellow pub mates on the great importance of rocks!
