I saw a news report just last week that there is a developing shortage of hops (an essential ingredient for most beers) world wide. Prices are expected to rise steeply for hops. Do you think beer prices will be far behind? sam, you had better start with that panic.

It is shocking how complacent Americans are acting. Monetary supply has increaseds 15% in recent months, to bail out Wall Street and speculators. Only the responsible and hardworking savers will suffer.  Americans are fools to think we will come out of this predicament without great financial pain, and continued lower living standards.
