A CO2 Shortage is Causing a Beer and Meat Crisis in Britain (qz.com)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is used in the production of a wide variety of food and drink products. But with at least five CO2 producers across northern Europe offline, a shortfall in the gas is causing shortages in beer, fizzy drinks, and meat. From a report: Britain is particularly affected because the seasonal shutdown of the plants has meant that the UK has only one big plant producing CO2 left. The British Beer and Pub Association, along with individual beer producers and pubs, has warned of the crisis caused by the shortage. Without naming companies, the trade association said the shortfall has caused beer production shortages. Heineken, the UK's biggest brewer, said its CO2 supplier was facing "a major issue" in the UK. Meanwhile, one of Britain's biggest pub chains, Wetherspoons, said it'll be forced to pull a number of beers and fizzy drinks from its menu soon.

It amazes how they managed to brainwash young libertarians so that they will enjoy slavery.

little to no carbonation typically, also healthier if you believe the studies
More calories typically in your stouts... also much more flavour though... a superior product in my opinion. Stouts and Porters make up 90% of the beer I drink but I don't drink much because of the calories. When it comes to beer quality is more important than quantity.

Nope, this is the all wise and powerful market running around with it's pants around it's ankles.
If the beer is good, it actually doesn't need to be served at a temperature that dulls your mouth...
