There's also 'Drinkflation', the ABV of beers being reduced. (Maybe it's mostly a UK thing due to the tax system, weaker beer = less tax)
Pretty sad state of things when simple pleasures like beer or chocolate are hit so hard by enshittification.
- driverdan 1mo agoThat's not the case in the US. If anything I see far more beers that are 6-10% now.
- Schiendelman 1mo agoYour income went up. Seriously. You're seeing interesting micros that target you and other high-income people, what's in your neighborhood is targeted. Most of America is drinking lower ABV beer from a case.
- driverdan 1mo agoCheap 5% beer is still available but there is an increase of availability of higher ABV beer. For example, when I was younger grocery stores didn't stock anything but the big national brands. Now they stock far more variety, much of it over 5%. This has nothing to do with my income. I've liked better beer since I started drinking in college. I've never liked the mass produced junk.
- Schiendelman 1mo agoIt does have to do with your income - really your class. You aren't going to the same grocery stores as the median American.
