I have several kegs of Keystone Light hidden away in my bunker for the impending doom. I am trying to figure out a way to put sails on my Hatteras to reduce my carbon footprint but Im afraid its too late for us. I heard last week we only have 10 years left if we dont submit. Seems like I heard this back in the 80's.....maybe its an echo???

Re: Beer prices
I can't drink alcohol but I love the taste of beer, so I drink Coors non alcoholic or O'douls.
Will the hops shortage affect them?

Re: Beer prices
Warm climates make the agave plant grow like crazy. More Tequila! I'm going to crank up the Detroits today to spew out a little more CO2 to help speed up the process and annoy my liberal tree hugging neighbors.

Re: Beer prices
It's time for all of you to switch to bourbon. A fine product, produced right here in the U.S. of A. Find and watch this movie: http://www.thebourbonfilm.com/

Re: Beer prices
If you can find it, try the Hellraiser Dark Amber. It's quite good for a NA. https://wellbeingbrewing.com

Re: Beer prices
Yes, if said shortage in fact materializes.
First off, the NA's are not really alcohol free. To legally call themselves that the brewers have to get the ABV down to .05 It starts off as regular beer..... mash, wort, boil with hops additions, fermentation, conditioning.... all that. Hence the initial "yes", as it too needs hops.
After that the vast majority of the alcohol is removed by heating. Basically distillation except you keep the "waste" and get rid of the alcohol, although I'm sure they find a use for that. Problem is, you do this at 175º or so, you also "cook" it again, which affect flavor, quite negatively. One solution is to do it in vacuum, which lowers all boiling points, and then the alcohol boils off at about 120º....
Still, it's the alcohol removal that basically makes all NA beers taste the same, and not as good as the originals. The most palatable NA i've found out there is Clausthaler. It's a pilsener style beer that is halfway drinkable.1978 53' Motor Yacht "LADY KAY V"
