Gordon is bummed. It appears that beer prices will be going up in the near future.
Why?
Skyrocketing grain prices.
Why?
Because it appears that due to ethanol production requirements imposed by a number of states the price of corn and, subsequently, other grains have shot up.
Never mind that it actually takes more energy to make ethanol then the ethanol actually provides it's all about looking like you're doing something. Well, now my Miller Lite is probably going to go up $ .25 a bottle.
In a related story, apparently Tequila production in Mexico is down because many of the farmers have switched from growing the Aguave Cactus plant to Corn.
Well the hell is my margarita?
