The experience of beer is flavor, and I find the essential experience of beer flavor arises from conflict. Within each and every real beer, two sides of taste struggle for supremacy: Hops and Malt. The malt side represents the sweet Earth: that dark, base smell coyly hinting at the sweet secrets within; the alluring, elemental color. By contrast, the sharp hops add the bitterness, the definition-- they give your taste buds something to focus on, they bring the malt flavor into sharp relief. The hops remind us that nothing is simple, and everything has its price. When you enjoy a beer these two sides wage a war to dominate your palate, and the best beers happen when the two sides become entrenched in defensible positions, protracting the battle into epic proportions. (Admittedly, I am a 'malt-maniac;' my personal feeling is that the malt is the more important element of beer flavor, although most of California's infamous 'hopheads' would disagree.)

It needs a bit more work I feel on the basis of hop/malt duality and the heisenberg uncertainty principle... :-)

"During the Neolithic Revolution, bands of hunters and gatherers began forming organized communities to cultivate the land—the beginning of civilization....the first thing grown was cereal grains in the Fertile Crescent of the Middle East.....The first thing they did with that grain,.....was make it into beer.....grains had no juice to extract. Therefore, they had to be soaked in water, which led to a natural fermentation process that produced what Julius Caesar described as "a high and mighty liquor."

If it weren't for beer, there would be no pyramids. That should put it into perspective :)

I'm on the hophead side;but, this theory is good.
When you refine this, don't forget to take into consideration strange-flavored quarks.
I think that the quote is priceless. As a beer appreciator myself, I can identify with the duality presented by mixing two such disparate ingredients.
Thanks for bringing this one to me, I had never heard it before. Hey and lets bring heisenberg into this, could be an interesting discussion! :D
