 Posted: Wed 2nd Jul 8:33am Post subject: Beer Prices On The Up Too... |
  |
|
Beer price are rising today after excise taxes on alcohol increased by nearly 3.5%.
DB Breweries, which produces Tui, Monteith's and Heineken, will raise prices by an average of 5.5% for a pack of beer and 5.3% for tap beer.
Lion Nathan, producer of Speights, Lion Red, Mac's and Steinlager beer, will also raise prices by an average of 5.5%. Spirits and ready-to-drink beverages will also reportedly rise, by around 5.3%.
A slightly smaller price hike faces wine drinkers. Wine sold by Lion Nathan, which includes Wither Hills, will rise by approximately 4%.
Liquor companies are blaming commodity prices for the price increases, saying the cost of malt has soared 50% in the past year.

Fish slice bottle opener?? We used to have crate parties at a flat I had... and there was a jackpot on light bulbs while opening the quarts with the fish slice... a whole year and not one person managed to hit a light bulb with the top off a bottle
