Craft breweries are hurting, but that doesn’t mean the market is going bust

from St. Louis on the Air

Craft beer has experienced explosive growth in the last 15 years, but more recently those good times may have ended, with craft breweries across the country now hurting, or even closing. In recent months, Urban Chestnut Brewing Company filed for bankruptcy protection, O’Fallon Brewery closed, and Earthbound Beer announced it will shutter later this year after 10 years in business. We talk with Earthbound Beer co-owner Stuart Keating and with Fausto Gonzalez, an assistant professor of marketing at WashU.
