Is it just me, or does it seem that more and more, things are breaking down in society? That things we’ve always taken for granted are going away?
It sort of feels as if the world’s becoming more and more like that in “Atlas Shrugged.”

What my very hoppy favorite brew Goose Island India Pale Ale is in jeopardy?
More hops in one bottle than in a six pack of Coors or Bud.

I’ve always said that things won’t change in the U.S. until beer prices soar!

The brewers who have to “scrounge” for hops are not “less fortunate;” .They just refuse to look at the history of the brewing industry. The purchasing of hop futures is a more-than-100-year-old practice, built around hop shortages that have taken place in the past.
Smart brewers play in the futures market, just to avoid wild swings in hops prices or having to go around, hat in hand, and beg for hops.
It’s just another sign of the business immaturity of some craft breweries.
