Is this true? I thought the brewing process generated its own co2.

It does, but it's not typically captured. The massive brewers like Coors do, but most don't.


This CO2 shortage will only affect people who drink fizzy lager and other keg beers that are served on draft. All of the lovely cask/real ales that the UK is famous for will be unaffected, as they are naturally carbonated in the cask, and they are served via muscle power, as opposed to CO2 pressure.


I've been brewing beer at home for years, so feel free to ask me anything about the process.
