I read that hops are going to get much more expensive and will not only affect commercial brewers but home brewers as well.

Hops at $15 a pound are a few pennies a bottle.

The cost of beer is in the taxes, the capital equipment, the labor, and the distribution. On a personal drinking scale, the raw ingredients are so cheap as to be essentially free.

A $4 price hike at the tap may well happen, but that isn’t because of biofuels and farmers aren’t going to see but a few pennies of it.
