Germany: Expensive barley makes brewers increase beer prices

The rise in barley prices gives no other choice to brewers than to increase the price of beer, MA reported April 18. The growers said they are not responsible for the entire increase in beer prices but only for 0.12 Euros per box.

“The brewers have always demanded low prices for barley, pushing the growers to abandon this culture”, president of German Farmers Association said.
