IT HAS BEGUN!!!!!
Craft breweries are facing tough decisions amid a nationwide carbon dioxide shortage
Breweries have already been facing higher costs for raw materials like aluminum and barley as a result of inflation.
And one brewer has already said it plans to shut down a key manufacturing plant and lay off workers as a result.
Night Shift Brewing, in Everett, Massachusetts, just outside Boston, cited the CO2 shortage as the reason it is suspending operations at its longtime facility and outsourcing to nearby locations instead.
