I might have to invest in my own brewing equipment.

In case anyone is asking why, there is a hop shortage, especially in Europe but affecting everybody.

I cant believe you have to pay more for beer in US than in here.:hmm:
What size of cans/bottles did you buy?

My most expensive was a 11.3 ounch bottle, but the 2x Double Bastards I bought were 22 ounce. I have 1x 16 ounce, and 1x 12 ounce. So $30 bought me, 83.3 ounces of beer. Not much I might say. A few years back, I would have paid close to $20 for the same.

Expensive for 'off licence' (as we call them in the UK) beer. Whilst on the subject I have just come back from Iceland where a pint set you back anywhere between £4 - £5.50 in the local pub. A Southern Comfort and lemonade and a pint set me back around £12 a throw.
