    Hopps Shortage

    A freind of mine dropped by my office and gave me one of the last six packs of Electric Beer in existence. After ten years he recently stopped production.



    His timing for selling his brewery couldn't be worse. There is a worldwide hops shortage due to crop conversion. If you have hops contacts it would be a good time to market to small breweries. Contact me if you want to own a brewery in Bisbee, Arizona. It's a great little town.

    Oops, now there are only five!

    I would love to own a brewery. Finally, something in a field I've been studying for!

    I don't know, by selling now he won't have to deal with the shortage. Of course, a known shortage could lower his selling price.

    Would not the better word be "practicing" for?

    I have a friend who's going to start growing organic hops on her farm. I get to tell her which varieties to grow!

    Just a note: it's "hop," not "hopp."

    A drought is the southeast. A hop shortage worldwide. Thus:
    No water + No hops = No Beer
    What is a man to do?
