Sinister reasons for beer price inflation? (ttrpg.network)

I am running a fantasy campaign (using the Ptolus setting), and the PC just looted a "conspiracy board" from the hideout of a rather unhinged creature.

I've added a bunch of elements that might or might not be relevant for the campaign. And the element with the most strings to other elements was "beer price increases".

And I'd like to mess with the minds of the players some more. Thus, I could use some ideas for sinister reasons why the beer prices in a city might have increased.

Any suggestions?

All the process that make beer happen originate from the God of Spirits. His partner recently broke up with him as they are going to the Far Realms and don't feel it was fair to keep it long distance. If anyone in the land wants beer again, they'll have to act like some friends and make him smile again.
