Coping in Venezuela

As Venezuelans digest news that they’ll have no power for hours a day, they also may have to do without beer from the country’s largest brewer, Polar.
In a statement, Empresas Polar SA says it has enough raw materials to last only until April 29, because a dollar shortage is keeping it from buying foreign grain. The company says it is suspending production of beer and malt, which will impact 10,000 employees.
Polar "produces 80% of the country’s beer," according to the BBC


As hard as life seems for many Venezuelans, it probably just got harder to drown their sorrows in their local lager. Although judging from the ratings here, the loss has an upside.

too bad they’re dependent on foreign grain. I assume grain grows in Venezuela also, do they not have maltings?

maybe Obama should ship them some White House homebrew

more chicha!
