AUSTRALIANS FACE BEER SHORTAGE

Australian beer drinkers are threatened with a beer shortage as the
thirsty summer season begins. Coopers Brewery in Adelaide, the third
largest brewer, had to temporarily suspend brewing week after a gas
plant fire on New Year's Day threatened energy supplies to two states.
While limited brewing has resumed, publicans said they were concerned
they may not be able to keep up with drinkers' demands. "I'm quite
worried, to be quite frank," Rising Sun publican and owner John
Osborne told ABC radio. Coopers, one of Australia's oldest producers,
could face brewing restrictions until March. The brewery

entered 2004 with low stocks because December sales were up 18%.




What is a gas plant? Is it something you grow to heat up your compost?

That would be Dictamnus Rutaceae, or Gas Plant GBSEGmadgardener
