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?

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.

The point is more that climate change is affecting beer prices and as Americans we consider our shitty beer important
More of an American joke then anything

Every country has shitty beer flying off supermarket shelves.

Americans are just plentiful enough to make Bud Light and Miller Lite known.

China's most popular beer is called Snow, where I really think they took inspiration from the line 'don't drink the yellow snow'

Crackhouses are refurbished into opium dens by hipsters.

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

That is, not for a while.

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.

There’s a reason my grandparents asked my dad to send them Alhambra, after all.
