    Beer Prices Will Soon Go Up

    Last Update: 8/25 11:28 pm


    The top U.S. beer brewers say they are raising prices this fall.

    Anheuser-Busch-maker of Bud Light and Budweiser, along with Miller Coors- maker of Blue Moon and Miller Light, are both upping prices. Neither brewer says how big the increase will be.

    Sales of top brands Miller Light and Bud Light are suffering. However, overall sales of beer and hard liquor are considerably up this year.

    And Illinois is instituting yet another large tax increase
    on alcohol. I might have to shift to more homebrew and less
    commercial brew.
