Price Drops on the Way?
Price Drops on the Way?
This article seems to be suggesting there could be a glut of malt. I wonder when this will filter through to retailers ... and how much will prices drop?

Re: Price Drops on the Way?
I'd be very surprised if there were price drops. A cut in the price of malted barley will not encourage brewing of more ale. The high price of pub bought ale is more due to the rapacious amounts of tax in various forms the publicans have to pay on be half of HMG.
If the maltsters can't use it, it will probably go into animal feed.
