The price of beer is going up, along with everything else. Aside from the usual economic factors, the ingredients in beer are getting more expensive, adding to the price of brew. Hops, which gives it its bitter kick, has gone from 2 dollars a pound to over 20 dollars a pound in just the past couple of years.
