Nah.

Hotter climate and drier summers make for better reds. I have already called dibs on the 2059 Highlands Barolo. Who needs beer?

Yup, keep considering the average right-wing voter as a food stamp beer-swilling full-denim moron who fell out of high school. Genuinely. Please do. I'm already planning my Kanye West 2024 party because there's nothing to worry about. Have fun with the 60-40 Senate.

It's insulting, but in a funny way.

Is it wrong, though?

How do we know this? Because the first step toward Communism is Socialism, and none of the aforementioned are even remotely Socialist in any way, shape, or form.

The gall of reactionaries not giving a fuck about climate change to the point of not even caring for the sectors of economy affected by climate change.

Right, it is pretty short sighted to make a worse case prediction, and then claim it is proof that you are right. First, climate change isn't the only possible cause of increased beer prices. Second, it might not happen. Even if the scientists are right about rising temperatures (their area of expertise) they might be wrong about the economic side of things, after all, the experts on the beer industry(the industry its self) aren't worried. Not because they deny the science, but that they are adapting.

Also, other factors effect the price of beer, like tax and demand. Already global beer consumption is slowly decreasing, cidre is increasing, so that trend my have an effect on beer prices.

Unfortunately I doubt that rising beer prices'll fix anything when it comes to noticing the obvious.

Something something more expensive because bootstraps.

If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

Every country has shitty beer flying off supermarket shelves.

Americans are just plentiful enough to make Bud Light and Miller Lite known.
Capitalism, single-payer healthcare, pro-choice, LGBT rights, progressive personal taxation, low corporate tax, pro-business law, welfare for those in need.
Nazism, edgism, dogmatic statements, most of Abrahamic-derived morality (esp. as law), welfare for those not in need.
We are not Albania and I am not Albanian, FFS!
Male, gearhead, classic rock fan, gamer, agnostic.
Not sure if left-libertarian, ex-libertarian or without a damn clue.

They'll probably rise around the same time the prices of Steel Reserve rise.

It tastes better the more you have. Consider it a challenge, see how many you can have before it tastes good. The objective of the challenge, clearly, should be to hit a lower number before it tastes good.

Ima say it right now: bud light doesn't taste bad.
Saying bud light tastes bad is like saying water tastes bad. It's nonsense, because the statement implies flavour.

PBR is the superior beer however, because sometimes the 24's come with mac and cheese.

Er
now that I think of it, yeah, that was a canada only thing. It's a national food for some reason.
It wasn't very good mac and cheese. But it was mac and cheese, damnit.
