Pints going up down under

According to Australia’s hotel industry, beer prices will rise tomorrow.  The rise in prices is due to a higher excise tax.  The Australian Hotels Association criticizes the system which will allow for an automatic tax increase twice a year.  The new taxes will be passed on to consumers in hotels and bars.
