The latest collateral damage from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and inflation is beer.
The Four City Brewing Company in New Jersey says it’ll have to raise prices in its taproom soon. Its co-owner says, in the past three months, the cost to make beer has gone up about 25 cents per can.
Ukraine is one of the world’s leading exporters of grain and vegetable oils. But since Russia invaded, Ukraine has suspended exports of rye, oats, millet, buckwheat, salt, sugar, meat, and livestock.
