Hitting me where it hurts the most.
The price of quality beers have gone through the roof around here. Most anything decent is 10 bucks a sixpack. Even the Mexican beers are up.

Is this one of the signs that the end of the world is upon us?

How you guys faring?

It's going to take a bit longer for it to percolate through the system, but the corn shortage (due to ethanol production and overall global demand for it) will make whiskey go up eventually (just as the hops shortage is affecting the price of beer).

It's because of the hops shortage.

Also, what would be the best way to start home brewing? A kit, or piece something together?
