Beer Low Level Light

For John, BLUF:  When you are out of beer you might spark a revolution.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Germany Is Running Out of Beer Bottles

From Fortune, by Herr Chris Morris, 24 July 2018.

Here is the key paragraph:

Germans don’t drink their beer out of cans.  (This is the country that’s home to the Reinheitsgebot, a beer purity law that has been enforced for over 500 years, after all.) Instead, they pay a deposit on bottles, which is refunded when they’re returned.  But an ongoing heat wave throughout the country has discouraged people from bringing those bottles back

I am not sure how the heat wave is discouraging folks from recycling their beer bottles, but it seems to be happening.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
