Comment: I can't work out whether it was originally brewed with it, but there are two sources which say it wasn't in 1999. It may also have been the world's first organic beer, but I can't (yet) find a definitive source for that.
Overall: Good to go. Earwig check shows no close paraphrasing or copyvio, and the hook is incredibly interesting as is here. I used Wikipedia Library to evaluate the source and it's confirmed in it -- I felt it was clear that from the 1999 reference that it was saying that it never was, so I'm good with using this.
