[ale] (OT) Panic time. Beer production at risk??

[Jim Kinney]

Due to changes in ethanol production for gasoline additive and lower demand due to decreased driving, food grade CO2 production is down and this will impact beer production. Oh, and water treatment plant processing as well.

But, beer?!?!!!! Must fix this.

Hmm. Cask ales....

Too bad we can't capture and clean CO2 output from natural gas fired power plants. Gotta keep the beer supply flowing.
