VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - There may be more sorrows and it may become harder to drown them. The price of beer will be going up. You can almost hear the sound of beer drinkers dying just a little bit inside at the thought of prices increasing.
"It's a crying shame. It's already the most expensive place to drink here, other than London, I suppose. But going up more? That's a shame," says one man.
Another man adds that maybe it's time to do your body good and cut back on the booze.
You can blame soggy Mother Nature, as the barley crop in Canada and Australia was quite poor last year. And demand is up because of China's beer drinkers.
Globally, barley prices could rise as much as 33 per cent this year, and that means beer prices will feel the pinch in 2012 with craft brewers being the hardest hit.作者: tiffiant 時間: 2011-3-8 07:31
