It's no secret that inflation has hit everyday consumers extremely hard since the beginning of 2022. We're seeing inflation through astronomical gas prices, expensive common everyday items, and grocery necessities practically doubling in costs. Unfortunately, halfway through the year, the price of beer too may continue to rise.
Beer prices have already gone up 5% this year, according to the consumer price index (CPI)—current costs of consumer goods and services—which the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported in August 2022.
While beer has been increasingly out-pacing both wine and spirits—which only have CPIs of 1.7 percent and 1.5 percent—it took an even higher jump last month compared to the months of 2022 we've seen so far. Alongside the statistics, beer companies have been in the midst of announcing that they are, in fact, in the process of steadily upping prices in an effort to keep up with the tolls of inflation.
The CEOs and CFOs of Heineken, Molson Coors, ABI (Budwiser), and Constellation Brands (Corona, Modelo, etc.) have all come forward recently to make statements on the matter. They claim that the higher prices are necessary to continue to keep their business afloat, but also assert that they are making efforts towards not compromising what customers can afford.
USA Today actually did a pretty good story on this. You can find it here:

A federal judge on Monday temporarily blocked part of a newly-enacted New Jersey law that prohibits guns from being carried in certain parts of the state.
U.S. District Judge Renée Marie Bumb, sitting in Camden, issued a temporary restraining order for a section of the law that specifically bans guns from being carried in public libraries or museums, bars or restaurants that serve alcohol and entertainment facilities. One catch-all provision barring guns from being carried on private property where the owner did not explicitly grant permission was also blocked, as was another section that prohibits guns from being carried in vehicles unless they are unloaded and stored in a closed area.

Used to be that everything in the store was behind the counter and the clerk filled your order. Time to revisit that way of selling goods.
ReplyDeleteI recall reading that in the 20' and/or 30's, Moe Howard was one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood. More than Theda Bara! Say not so!
