I own a small brewery in the U.S. We've seen people holding back for the last 6 months at least. We've also had increases in costs. Finally had to raise prices, but nowhere near enough to offset the cost increases. It's getting tough, very tough for small biz out there. I'm hopeful we can make it, but fear that we'll lose many many small businesses. Each one will take 5-50 jobs with it, and will destroy families. I ride the daily rollercoaster of "soon and we'll make it" to "Holy shit, <insert craziness here>". I don't know what else to add without going full retard, but... FUCK!!!!!!!
