You can be damn sure that the 'elites' will always have enough. Remember "you will own nothing and be happy "

The German government is redirecting supplies from non essential business to make sure that the common man has enough?
Oktoberfest, annual festival in Munich, Germany, held over a two-week period and ending on the first Sunday in October. The festival originated on October 12, 1810, in celebration of the marriage of the crown prince of Bavaria, who later became King Louis I, to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. The festival concluded five days later with a horse race held in an open area that came to be called Theresienwiese (“Therese’s green”).
Visualizing America's Brewery Boom Tyler Durden's Photo by Tyler Durden Wednesday, Aug 03, 2022 - 10:00 PM
Like many other businesses, America's breweries were desperately trying to stay afloat in the sea of economic devastation brought along by the Covid-19 pandemic. Shuttered restaurants and pubs hit sales hard, taproom transactions evaporated and the distribution of kegs ceased. A Daily Beast article from May 2020 warned that 3,600 of America's breweries could go out of business and that coronavirus could kill craft beer. However, as Statista's Martin Armstrong reports, fast-forward to 2021 though, and it seems reports of craft beer's demise have been greatly exaggerated.
While the Brewers Association's midyear report for 2020 did indeed show that the U.S. beer scene was facing an unprecedented challenge, it certainly wasn't the doomsday scenario some were expecting. Volumes declined 10 percent during the first six months of the year compared to 2019 while the brewery count grew by 737. That is slower than the 1,000 new breweries added by mid-year 2019 but still an impressive performance given the situation. The latest figures, for 2021, reveal a more subdued but still healthy rate of growth: "Overall U.S. beer volume sales were up 1 percent in 2021, while craft brewer volume sales grew 8 percent, raising small and independent brewers’ share of the U.S. beer market by volume to 13.1 percent".

But the Oktoberfest has been going since 1810:

That was before Russian gas pipelines, or even most of the Industrial Revolution.
Surely whatever has been contributed (that includes "natural methane" or other gasses) since then can be done away with, for a more traditional approach?
