Carbon dioxide shortage

Was in my local last night and found that half the pumps were off due to the brewery being unable to deliver some beers/ciders. Apparently there's a major shortage of CO2 that is affecting quite a lot of industries, particularly the drinks industry.

Perhaps it's time to get some cans in from the supermarket to weather the drought !

(Or drink real ale, which I know a lot of people wax lyrically about but I just can't stand the stuff ! )

all helps to put prices up.....

Hopefully it will encourage people to try something other than mass produced bland fizz - especially when it comes to cider.

Irrefutable proof that global warming is a hoax!

I read it’s because some carbon dioxide producers in Europe have shut down for maintenance..

Inspector Clouseau has spoken.

If that were the case, we wouldn’t need cold, fizzy lager.

Rubs salt in a bit - when hot i shouldn't be running the air con because the co2 from the electricity generation adds to the green house effect but no cold lager neither because of no co2

Which one in particular?

At Maison du Biére at Elsecar Heritage Centre they have over 300 different real ales. Are you seriously telling me you don't like any of them?

food and drinks firms worldwide, weird how we depend on it these days. One small firm has even sent workers home until further notice Oo

In the West Midlands, Holden's, which has 80 customers, shut down last Friday until further notice. "I'm left with people sitting around doing nothing," said operations director Mark Hammond.

Brew your own.. problem solved. Just cracked open some home brew Czech pills and it is a bit lively with a 3" head but tastes so good I wish Id put a few more in the fridge.

Soft drinks producers, slaughter houses and meat packing plants are in the same situation.

Peoples jobs are on the line now because of a gas shortage?
