Beer prices may increase due to Ukraine invasion

Prices for many products have been rising over the past year, but one product in particular may see a sharp increase due to recent events. While Russia's invasion of Ukraine has caused many people to boycott Russian vodka, the conflict may also have an impact on beer drinkers as well.

The invasion of Ukraine may slow down the export of Barley from the region. (iStock)

Barley, one of the key ingredients in making beer, is heavily produced in Ukraine, WISN reports. The region is often called the "breadbasket of Europe" due to the high amount of grain grown in the area.

Jim McGreevy, president and CEO of The Beer Institute, spoke with news outlets about the situation...............

More gaslighting if you ask me.  Most likely this would only affect foreign beers, if at all.

Right. We grow barley for malting right here in the US, and hops as well.

I would think the vast majority of domestic and craft beer would be unaffected.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Please!

PRICES are going UP    UP    UP!

Fellow on TV last night said average home may experience a $1,000 increase in food cost.  Perhaps this is a good thing.  FAT *SS America may well trim its waistline by reducing the consumption of excess and worthless food from a nutritional perspective.

And it has more to do with the Biden Idiocracy than the Ukraine anything!
