(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) "We are way below capacity," said Shades Brewing brewer Marcio Buffolo of production amid a national aluminum can shortage on Nov. 3, 2021. Buffolo said prices on everything the brewery uses from grain to fruit purees to labeling have increased 20-50%. Shades Brewing is a small brewery with about 15 employees. While people have been buying the 10-year-old company's beer, profits are down because the cost of materials -- particularly cans -- has tripled since COVID started. The company is stockpiling materials to make sure they aren't hit by delays, and it is also looking at business strategy changes to increase margins.
