Investment Advice…

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have $16.50 left of the original $1000.

With WorldCom, you would have less than $5.00 left.

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have
$49.00 left.

If you had purchased United Airlines, you would have nothing left.

But, if you had purchased $1000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all
the beer, then turned in the cans for recycling, you would have $214.00..

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink
heavily and recycle.

This is called the 401-Keg Plan.

Beer Tour of Harrisburg

Tour of the Troegs and Appalachian Brewing Companies

Had lunch at the Appalachian Brewing Company. Their Kölsch was awesome!

After lunch we went to the Tröegs Brewing Company to take the 2:30 tour.

John Trogner, who owns the brewery with his brother Chris, gave the tour.

It's a special thing to have the brewery owner conduct the tour.

Nice view of some fermenters along the tour.

This was the first tour in years when I have heard the word 'wort' pronounced properly, rhyming with the word, 'hurt'.

Some special batches aging in oak barrels.

Beer prices are going up

I hope this price hike by the big brewers doesn’t affect the price of microbrews!

Brace yourself: Beer prices are going up
Brewers say rising commodity costs and lower volumes are forcing them to raise its price tags.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Beer drinkers beware: The cost of a cold one is going up.

Brewers across the globe are hiking prices to compensate for lower sales volumes and higher commodity costs.

Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world’s largest brewer and maker of Budweiser, announced plans to raise prices Tuesday.

“We plan on taking price increases on a majority of volume and in a majority of markets this fall,” Anheuser-Busch InBev said in a statement. “The increase helps cover some input costs.”

The U.S.-Belgian brewer said prices will go up “across different price tiers,” including its high and low-end brands.

MillerCoors – the maker of popular beers Miller Lite, Coors Lite and Blue Moon — is also raising prices in some markets. But these hikes are part of the company’s regular fall increases and are “more in line with catching up with costs and commodity prices rather than the economic environment,” said Julian Green, director of media relations for MillerCoors.
