Beer's come up in a couple topics about the economy & taxes. beer

Last night on the news I saw that beer prices are rising because of the shortage of hops. Large beer manufacturers are buying up most of what's available. Smaller brewers are having to make arrangements to buy their hops a year in advance, joining together to buy in larger quantities, and look into other options. One of the big things they're looking into is buying from overseas.

I guess we really are in a recession now. beer

This is terrible news. I'm going to have to start growing grapes so I can at least make my own wine!

Is the shortage related to the floods in the Midwest earlier this year?

Durring the depression, my Dad and Grandpa used to make their own wine in the basement. They used to use it in their Cornflakes because they couldn't get milk :puke:

I used to wheel a lot. . .
