Recent news indicates that hops used in beer making are in short supply and this may cause a sharp increase in beer prices. Further investigation reveals that this increase will likely affect craft beer makers the most since this type of beer typically uses more hops. Large breweries, like Miller and Anhueser Busch should not fell the effect as much and prices may stay stable or increase by only a very small amount. Either way, expect a rise from all beer makers, since any excuse nowdays seems to bring out the greed in those affected or not.
