Can this young Wellingtonian tell the difference between Craft Beer and Mainstream beer?
The cost of living is suspected to be having an impact on our drinking habits, and beer drinkers are looking for cheaper options, and downgrading from Craft Beer to your run of the mill beer.
In the last year four craft breweries have gone into liquidation.
– Cowabunga
-Epic
-Deep Creek
-Brothers Brewery
The latest, Upper Hutt based Boneface brewery has gone into administration and managed to be restructured, so there appears to be strong backers for the future.
Seems like it might not only be a New Zealand based issue with up to one brewery closing every day in Australia.
What do you prefer? Craft or Mainstream beer?
