More than 60 percent hike in prices has prompted a sharp decline
in the consumption of Club Beer and Guinness Stout as revealed by a New Democrat survey conducted Monday.
According to the survey, a bottle of large beer that previously sold for LD100 currently sells for LD150, while the price of a bottle of stout has climbed from LD85 to LD125. A bottle of small beer now goes for LD90 instead of LD65.
Some owners of entertainment centers blamed increment in the wholesale of these alcoholic beverages for the corresponding hike in retail prices.
They told this paper that wholesale price for a crate of large beer jumped from LD1,150 to LD1,600.
One local distributor, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the rise in the prices of these beverages, but blamed a technical breakdown at the Monrovia Breweries for the scarcity and price hikes.
“Though the factory price remains the same, the process of getting supply is so difficult. Can you imagine, if you used to sell about 300 crates a week and now you are getting about 40 to 50 crates a week, price will definitely go up,” the source explained.
This explains that retailers were using the supply-demand theory to exploit customers by hiking the prices of these commonly consumed beverages.
