The cost of imported beer isn't due to inflation, it's due to the weaker dollar. That is not the same thing. I agree that the dollar is weak and that increases the price of imported goods. Some would argue that a weaker dollar actually helps the trade deficit because it makes US products more attractive (that is why china artificially keeps its currency devalued). Again; the current risk is deflation, not inflation.
Frankly, unless you are sitting on a bunch of cash inflation shouldn't be a concern.
