Milk, eggs, gas on the rise...beer oddly seems steady.

[alkemyst]

I just noticed looking at my grocery receipts that almost everything has risen with the gas prices.

Oddly beer, which is almost entirely shipped via truck; has stayed pretty steady.

just an observation.

Shhhh... stable beer prices are what keep this whole modern society thing from flying apart don't you know? Once beer goes up it's every man for himself Armageddon!

I've noticed beer is about 5% more than a year ago and will be going higher. Hops are now $30+ a pound (used to be about $5). Malt and barley are up 10%-20% in the last year. Rice, corn, wheat also are higher. A friend who runs a beer distributor says the smaller breweries and microbreweries are going to have to raise prices 10% or more just to keep going, based on what the salespeople are telling him.

People are buying less beer now (or switching to less expensive beers), so the prices won't go up much.

 

[TallBill]

Meh, I have not noticed any price increases on anything but gas, and I'm still able to pay my bills + save as a college student.

 

[CorCentral]

Well everyone expects that black guy to fix everything..... Can't wait to see what happens....... When nothing happens!

 

[spidey07]

Because a lot of the price is tax which is fixed and not tied to anything else? It's nowhere near the taxes on spirits.

Could also be raw materials as the brewers have long multi-year, fixed price contracts with suppliers. Distribution is probably also fixed for a time.

I actually just saw a news story this morning specifically about the price of non-import beer increasing by 5-10% since last year.

Yup.

The big boys are sitting a huge stash of hops and have a much better control on their hops supply.

Little breweries that have to buy their hops from distributers are paying out the nose for them. Higher hop beers (IPA's, high APV ales, ect) have gone up a couple bucks a six pack because of the quadruple or more increase in hops costs. My local brewmaster is actually being forced to use lower end hops and alter recipes because some of the premium varietals are either ridiculously overpriced or simply unavailable.

Malt extract is getting to be liquid gold too.

I heard it was import beer increasing because of supply and demand along with "the crisis."
