"Known for brewing with Kernza, Bang Brewing in St. Paul uses the perennial wheat grain as a signature ingredient; Kernza is highlighted for its long, 12-foot root structure and the environmental benefits proponents claim, such as carbon storage and reduced soil erosion. I encountered Bang as the summer host for Farina Rossa’s pizzas, and the brewery’s use of Kernza also ties into Lynch’s dough — the grain contributes a distinct nuttiness and higher protein even though its gluten is less elastic." - Justine Jones
