Belgian beer shortage? Noooooooo!!!
There’s a report hitting the Interweb today that labor strife at Belgian breweries is causing the supply of Stella Artois, Hoegaarden and Leffe to literally run dry. AB-InBev is threatening to lay off up to 800 beer employees in Europe, about a third in Belgium, despite posting a third-quarter profit of $1.55 billion. Needless to say, the Belgians are none to enthused. So what are the beer workers doing? They’re blocking beer from leaving breweries, blocking ingredients from getting in and even holding their supervisors hostage. (Read the details here. Watch a video here.) The lesson: Don’t mess with Belgian beer. I think those are words we all can live by.
