If you drink beer, stock up on it now.

Maybe my conspiracy is paved with events taking place . Current or in the future ?
There is no, nor there will be a 'beer shortage'.
OK, guys, I'll give you a hint... beer is put into what?

I'm not talking about beer shortage.
I'm pretty sure you have no idea what you're talking about.
There’s a widening scarcity of essential raw materials for aluminum used to make automobiles and building supplies that threatens to worsen a supply squeeze that already has pushed U.S. prices close to all-time highs.
Matalco Inc., the largest U.S. producer of aluminum billet, is warning customers it may curtail output and ration deliveries as soon as next year amid a magnesium shortage. Magnesium is used to harden aluminum alloys.
Difficult-to-source supplies of other raw materials and soaring natural gas prices are adding to the challenges, Matalco said in a letter to customers obtained by Bloomberg News.
The prolonged aluminum can shortage won't end anytime soon, the chief executive of Ball Corp. tells Axios, quashing the hopes of brewers for a return to normal.
"This year is going to continue to be challenging," says John Hayes, the CEO at the Broomfield-based can giant.
What's happening: A surge in demand for cans amid the pandemic, paired with a shortage of aluminum, continues to plague the beverage industry.
The lighter weight and convenience of cans makes it the preferred packaging for new beverage lines, from carbonated water and seltzers to wine and cocktails.
The competition is pinching brewers, particularly small ones who've shifted from serving beer over the bar to packaging brews due to pandemic shutdowns.

Thanks for the heads up! Aluminum is the problem...
Aluminum Makers Sound the Alarm About U.S. Magnesium Shortage
There’s a widening scarcity of essential raw materials for aluminum used to make automobiles and building supplies that threatens to worsen a supply squeeze that already has pushed U.S. prices close to all-time highs.

In Europe, industry groups, including metal producers, auto suppliers and the packaging sector, warned recently that the magnesium shortage may threaten thousands of businesses, supply chains and millions of jobs across the continent, as they are expected to run out of magnesium stocks by the end of November, Reuters reported.
The global shortage of magnesium has unsurprisingly put China in the spotlight. China produces about 75 percent of the world's magnesium, and Europe buys around 90 percent of its magnesium from China, according to media reports.
In China, magnesium output has been affected by the country's energy shortage and carbon reduction targets. That's because production of magnesium requires intense electricity consumption and produces significant carbon emissions. It takes 35-40 megawatt-hours of electricity to produce one ton of magnesium, according to some estimates.

I'm sure governments everywhere have already figured out that people mixing beer and guns is lethal to their way of governing.
Actually, that's not the point of my thread. Read it again and see if you can put the " beer and metals " logic together.
OK, guys, I'll give you a hint... beer is put into what?
