Sucks to the gas shortage

http://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/industries/retail/article/trouble-brewing-hops-shortage-slams-beer-makers_538996_7.html

Beer prices are up due to a massive hops shortage. I just paid 47 bucks for a case of Fat Dog Stout...up like 7 bucks from last fall.

Fuzzy math:
355 ml per beer, so 710ml in 2 beers.
710ml is close to 750ml, which is a 5th.
Ergo, 10 beers = 1 Gallon
24 beers is then 2 2/5 gallons
2/5ths is almost half a gallon
2.5 goes into 50...let's see...multiply by ten and 25 goes into 50 twice, so twenty.

20 bucks for a gallon of beer.
I can ride a bike, but I can't have beer without hops...
