More expensive beer?
With the hops shortage we will probably see a increase in beer prices, the sunday mirror trows out the number 4 £ per paint. But that don’t sound that expensive to me, thats around that we here in Sweden pay to day. And then i remember that I live in the most taxed country in the world, that has besides the 25% general goods tax we pay, we also pay ½ £ to 1 £ (based on alcohol concentration) in additional alcohol tax. I don’t want to thing about how high the price can get if the brewery and suppliers start raising the price do to increased raw material prices.
