Well, not just beer but liquid in general, pint of milk for example. I would guess it means a product sold in pints.

@zleap @Moon @piggo
Or maybe it's not the liquid that is the issue and more of the container (plastic bottles) Maybe we should have never left glass bottles in the first place.

Apparently there is now a shortage of Aluminium in the UK.

Problem is the UK has relied on imports for too long we have stopped making a lot of stuff in this country.

People left during the pandemic or were unable to come here due to travel restrictions, add to that Brexit and people are not coming here.

People here don't want those jobs as I think part the issue is low pay.

Unless the end consumer wants to pay more for everyday goods to cover the true cost of production the solutions are going to be harder to find.

People want better pay, conditions to work in,. Look at how Amazon have treated their workers for example.

Same issue you still need to get product from A to B, regardless of material.

There is seems to be a shortage of HGV,, Lorry , Truck drivers world wide, partly caused by the pandemic and people also leaving those jobs.

So in the case of glass you need the raw materials (or old materials for recycling) etc.

if we had had a paper shortage 30 years ago, kids would have complained they can't get hold of magazines like playboy etc :D

@mangeurdenuage @piggo @Moon

If it is like in the UK the issue is in the supply chain, getting products from where it is made to the shop.

So from farm to shops or production.
