The Fundamental Interconnectedness of Cherries and Beer

The Cap Times reports that our state's tart cherry crop is going to be almost a total loss due to the stress of last year's crop and some dramatic temperature fluctuations last winter. The cherry crop is going from over 10 million pounds to a paltry 200,000.

New Glarus' Belgian Red uses whole Montmorency cherries from Wisconsin which are a tart variety so I'd expect the price to be going up at some point in the near future.
