Beer ingredients get hit, US deficit surges 17%, and Handy bought by Angie’s List for secret sum

Summary: Hold our beer. A new business and climate report shows that barley prices will get hit hard this century, and that’s even worse for brew-glomerates. The US government’s deficit jumped big (that’s not good) by 17% to $779 billion. And our acquisition of the day is Handy, the gig economy cleaning app, which got snagged by Angie’s List’s so it can own future Millennial homebuyers.
