Whenever you think of things that can help boost a small town, you might think of things like small businesses, libraries, and parks.
However, craft beer and craft brewers have been allowing small towns and their economies to have a massive comeback over the years. But why, why is craft beer a booster shot to these small towns?
They Provide A Lot Of Jobs
First, breweries, even small ones, give a lot of jobs to a community. Most taprooms make massive three hundred (or more) gallon batches of their various drinks, and they employ people all throughout the process.
From the farmers who grow the hops and the truckers who bring the raw ingredients to the brewery, to those who make the beer and haul it across the floor, a brewery is a place with a lot of jobs.
Additionally, all these jobs as well as the equipment to make beer take up a lot of space, perfect for smaller towns that might have a lot of dilapidated real estate and large empty buildings lying around, because a brewery is always going to bring people in.
Bars And Taprooms Are Always Places To Gather
From their first usage in recorded history, a bar was the place for people to gather and have a drink and conversation with like minded folk. All these years later not that much has really changed, and people want to go to the nearest bar, which requires a brewery to sustain it.
Additionally, these large areas can become event centers and community hubs where people can gather, talk, and share a drink or two! Bars can be a massive kickstarting force for a town that would otherwise remain stagnant, and they will attract other businesses to the area as well.
Craft Breweries Help With Tourism
Finally, in addition to the massive short term benefits of having and owning a successful brewery, craft breweries provide the long term benefits of tourism. A lot of beer drinkers and beer aficionados want to go from brewery to brewery, learning the secrets and drinking the drinks as they go.
This is why plenty of craft breweries host events where certain brews are highlights, or they have a limited release of a new drink designed to bring the crowds coming.
Plus, when the crowds come to town for the beer, they will need to take advantage of the town’s other amenities too. Plus, nearly everyone coming to the down is going to need a drink at some point, why not stop at a brewery?!
Craft Breweries Bring Advancement
Whether they are investing in the latest technology (such as what you can find at Getollie) or they are bringing in new jobs designed around a brand new brewing technique, one thing that will never go out of style is that craft breweries are never stagnant.
They will keep on growing and advancing in their techniques, and that advancement will also trickle into the rest of the town they are in.
From new jobs opening up to new business opportunities, an advancing brewery is better for everyone! Take advantage of it while you can, and see if you can find your own spot in the brewery to make your town better!
A craft brewery, if it is done right, comes with a lot of growth opportunity not just for itself, but also for the town and community it is in. The world of craft beer is already booming with no signs of slowing down at all, and if your town’s craft brewery can grow and take advantage of all the benefits and brand new trends that are happening in the world of craft brewery, then your town will grow as well.
After all, the craft brewery will invest that money back into the community! A growing craft brewery is going to provide a lot of benefit to your community over time, and the over time benefit of this growth is what makes the craft brewery helpful to a small town!
