LINCOLN — Troubled times are brewing for beer fans. Prices are going up, and flavors are changing.
Hops, like the Liberty pellet hops shown above, are a minor but necessary ingredient in beer. Hops add aroma, help preserve the drink and add bitterness to offset the flavor of malt.
The price of India Pale Ale, the most popular beer from Thunderhead Brewery in Kearney, Neb., has jumped from $3.50 a pint to $6.
Third Stone Brown, the No. 1 brew of Empyrean Brewing in Lincoln, will increase in price from between $3.50 and $3.80 a pint, depending on the restaurant, to from $4 to $4.50.
