BEER PRICES IN TENN COULD SOON SKYROCKET DUE TO UKRAINE WAR
The price of beer could soon be on the rise in East Tennessee because of the war in Ukraine after breweries already have to manage separate supply chain issues and inflation.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Ukraine was one of the world’s top five suppliers of barley in 2021. Now, the Russian invasion has pushed the costs way up. Owners of some breweries said they are working to avoid having to pass the higher costs onto customers, but said they need to raise prices soon.
