Current Performance of the Independent Microbrewery Sector
The number of production microbreweries has increased from 15 in 2012
to 75 in 2018, a fivefold increase. However, there were only five additional
microbreweries operating in 2018, as compared with 2017. This is the lowest
increase since 2012, when consistent data began to be compiled.
