Beer Price Value
May 22, 2008
Thank for this image. The price of beer has risen with the overall prices of commodities. The increasing costs of barley and other raw materias.
Production numbers are down and costs are up for the grain. Combined with rising energy costs and the high cost of other raw materials, and those extra dollars and cents may soon be passed along to consumers.
Several breweries are already raising their prices due partially to raw material costs.
"Raw material costs have gone up so much in such a short period of time, it’s unavoidable that you will see some price increases eventually," said Morningstar analyst Matthew Reilly.
Barley prices have steadily inched up each month, ending 2006 averaging $3.19 per bushel in December - an increase of about 24% from the previous December. Meanwhile, production has fallen 15% to 180 million bushels, down from 211.9 million in 2005, mainly due to droughts in Australia and the Midwest and more farmers choosing to grow different crops like corn and soybeans.
