Beer prices will be going up dramatically also.
1. High fuel prices to deliever.
2. Grain prices are skyrocketing, and beer is full of grains. In fact, there was a story about this on CNBC last week, indicating how beer companies are experiencing high inputs from different areas.
It's strange, people complain about paying $4 for a gallon of gas, but have no problem paying the same and tipping a buck for 11.4 ounces of dirty beer.
You know I always hear people say a gallon of this or that cost more than a gallon of gas. For example, a gallon of beer, milk, or water cost more than a gallon of gas. But here is the difference. I have to use 25 gallons of gas a week. I might drink 1 gallon of beer or milk a week. When I only need 1 gallon of gas a week than I won't bitch about the price. Until then I will continue to complain about it.
In my lifetime, probably drank more gallons of beer/milk than gallons of gas that I've put in my vehicles.
It's pretty close now, to cheap beer like Busch !
A 30 pack is about $13, almost 3 gallons. $4.30 X 3= $12.90
By the keg, beer is probably cheaper than gas, for standard stuff like Bud, Miller or Coors.
Will we buy gas by the glass soon ?
