Support Your Local Brewer Today
Small brewers of tasty craft beers are going through some hard times. The cost of ingredients has gone way up so, in order to stay in business, they’ve been forced to raise prices.
According this article in the Seattle Weekly, one of the factors contributing to the quadrupling of the price of hops is that farmers responded to the increased demand for corn used in ethanol by digging up their hop plants and planting corn.
Come on people! Which would you really rather have? Another biofuel product to dump in your car or a tasty handcrafted ale?
I thought so… So as they say at Boundary Bay Brewing Co. in Bellingham, Washington, Save the Ales!
Stop by the store on the way home today and buy yourself a six-pack of your favorite local microbrew.
If you are already home, walk (that’s right… walking lowers the demand for ethanol) to your nearest store and buy two six-packs. You’ll need two to stay balanced.
Here you go. Support a worthy candidate AND a local brewery!
