Did this asinine ethanol idea just cost me money?  [sm_devil]

Big Sky Brewing in Missoula, Mont., which distributes in 16 states, has increased the price of its Big Sky IPA $1 a six-pack because barley prices doubled. The beer makes up only about 6% of the company's line, which is led by the popular brown ale, Moose Drool.

Going forward, Big Sky will see what the big breweries do before making changes to pricing, brewmaster Matt Long said.

"Many of the craft brewers don't do that. They continue to have six packs on sale half the time, and I don't know how they can continue to operate that way," he said. "The trend is going to be toward $10 six packs."

$10/sixpack   :'(

*feces*, welcome to Utah, son. You want good beer here? Plan on $1.90+ per bottle, and no, that's not bar prices.
