Beer makers are affected by rising prices of hops, malt, aluminum, energy, distribution costs weather, likely even wages.
Makers of thousands of other diverse products have their own tales of woe.
The days of cheap oil are gone so what will manufacturers and consumers do to adjust?
I’m hoping that a growing percentage of people will become more self-reliant and do more tasks for themselves.

E.g. take 5 minutes and learn how to make their own beer.
It can be cooked in the kitchen, bottled in recycled plastic or glass and enjoyed for under $20 for 3 cases of 24, or under 30 cents per bottle.
Are there other big industries we could easily downsize?
Is it time for a cold Scottish Heavy or Irish Stout?

My husband loves to make his own beer and last year we tried our hand at some muscadine wine - it turned out quite well for our first attempt!
hi capturing today,
i tried wine, too long a process for my short attention span and need for faster results.
cheers,
gord h.
