The poster in now way shape or form endorses
rioting in the streets or boycotting vendors

But think what the high pound and Euro have done to fine English ales and Belgian beers.

St. Peter’s Golden Ale has just hit $5.50 a bottle.

When beer is outlawed....then I’ll just have to go back to my MD 20/20 days.

“The trend is going to be toward $10 six packs.”

Time to brew your own!

The odd thing is, last Saturday I went to the brew store to get ingredients for brewing, and although I expected to pay more, everything was the same price I’ve been paying for several years. $0.90/lb for two-row malted barley, $1.19/lb for domestic specialty grains, $1.79/lb for imported specialty grains, and $2.50 per 2 oz. package of loose hops.

It may just be that they make so much margin on us homebrewers that they haven’t had to adjust anything yet.

The big brands should be OK, considering they are long on rice and short on barley and hops. Yuk.

In about 6 years look for a rise in bourbon prices as current whiskey aging in barrels is used up and new whiskey made with now high price corn replaces it.

Most guys go the gym to work on a six-pack. I go to the fridge to work on a pony-keg.

Replacing Saaz and Hallertau with Mt Hood and Cascade hops...and they think nobody will notice?

IT's A CRIME. Anyone who buys that crap twice is stupid.

Brew your own! It's well worth the effort once you get the hang of it. You can make beers just as tasty as those you pay a premium for from micro breweries, and much better than the 'factory beer' that the mass producers make.

Bud will be in great shape - just as long as the rice markets hold...

Same price, less tasting...

“Shortage of beer ingredients may mean higher prices”

aka: The End of The World As We Know It

(inflation on the price of meat, bread and produce...big deal...
but when beer prices rocket out of sight...that’s the basis for
a revolution in the streets!!!!)

(/sarc; to a moderate degree!!!)
