The Morning Advertiser reports that the Office for National Statistics has been tracking the cost of a pint of lager, which has apparently risen 12.5% in the year to October 2023, reaching an average price of £4.67.

Climate Change
On a related theme, we had all better get used to the fact that lager hops grown in Central Europe will soon become a thing of the past due to climate change. Fortunately, the regions of the World growing “IPA” hops will not be impacted so quickly.
