It’s good to be living in country that exports foodstuffs. Like the US. I want an organization of food exporting countries. Try eating oil, comrade. You won’t like it.

I guess I will be sober sooner than I thought!

4 pounds for a Smithwick’s?

Damn you Al Gore!

Beer Ping!

A low to medium ping list aimed at all of us who, well, love our beer…

FReepmail rzeznikj at stout or GOP_Raider to be added or struck from the list…

Just a little change brought to you by The Islamic Council of the United Kingdom.

This reminds me... Is all of that corn ethanol really combined with unsavory additives to make it undrinkable when it leaves the plant or do they just say it is?

How much for a horn of mead?

Mr Hastings said the price hike came against a general decline in British beer sales, with some 14 million fewer pints a day being served in pubs than in the past.

Only Socialists can defy the rules of economics, for a short time. This is a massive tax increase, imo.

[ElkGroveDan]

That’s about $8 to you and me. Expect riots in the streets.

The average price of a pint of bitter in Britain's pubs could increase from around £2.20 to as much as £4 next year

Well then I won't drink that pint, but I believe I'll drink some of the others.

I recommend they import Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

Malting barley topped $5 a bushel this year and is looking at $6. A bushel of barley is about 48 pounds.

One pound of barley makes about a gallon of beer, so a bushel of barley will make roughly 50 gallons - 400 pints.

So one pint of beer has about 1.2 cents worth of barley in it.

If they’re saying rising barley prices are going to drive a pint up $3.60, either they expect barley to be selling for $1,800 a bushel or they’re full of s—t.

fuel costs

All commodities are getting more expensive. Even chocolate.

[rb22982]

Wow, I’d have to greatly curtail my drinking at £4 (nearly $8 USD per beer).

Not at my house. Malted barley prices haven’t moved in years at the brewing supply store.
