Supply of Beer
Economists treat supply symmetrically as demand. That is, we treat supply (also) as a relationship between price and the quantity supplied. Usually, the relation is direct (upward sloping), rather than inverse.
Here is the supply schedule corresponding to the beer demand given before.
