This is not as you may surmise my daily beer intake, indeed beer is something I use er, sparingly.
There is not a requirement to justify such an intake by mentioning Martin Luther loved beer, he was after all German, and his kind of beer would be different from that found there today, Lager mostly I think. The difference between the two drinks is clear, men drink beer, boys drink lager. Lager is the fuel for young men, football hooligans and those perspiring under a heatwave. Men drink the brown stuff!
Brexit however has interfered!
I read the other day a warning by a supermarket expert, a proper one, not one found in the daily Hacks. He indicated how supermarkets decide what is shown on the shelves during a lorry or goods shortage, one thing that suffers is Beer! The supermarkets decide what you eat, drink and can obtain, their power drives what is delivered to their door. However, the big lager companies, Fosters, Heineken and Stella I think, pay for shelf space in supermarkets so their brew will always be available. Individual beers, no matter how big the brewery, on the other hand do not, the sales are less so they disappear. Possibly this explains why empty shelves in Sainsburys are stacked with cases of 'Stella' lager? They pay so they fill spaces.
Therefore, I am taking no chances and stocking up in a less than panic like manner with goods that I require, and indeed one or two others I rarely use. Other items are disappearing at an alarming rate. It is wise to ensure the major items, like beer, are well stocked.
The Brexit experts tell us real Brexit does not begun until January 1st, so you can imagine what things will be like then! If we have no lorry drivers now, few more then, much more stringent paper checks at borders, how will goods pass through? I suppose we could get the little boats crossing the channel to carry some goods with them, even Farage might let them in then.
