"Good" beer prices to rise - due to hops shortage

Thanks to this posting at the Brambletonian, we've been alerted to the dire Hops shortage across the globe, especially in Europe. According to the source news story, the "The price of a six-pack of beer from a microbrewer or craft beer maker likely will go up at least a $1 to a $1.50".

That's not good - note that prices likely won't rise much for domestic beers..."most domestic beer prices should reflect a more modest increase because the majority of those beers are lagers that use less hops in their production" (read....disgusting, watery domestic beers aren't affected).

Stock up, find the good beers at the Dulles South and Loudoun Beer page!
