Episode 59 - Market Saturation in the Craft Beer Industry?

Joe and Nick are on the mics for this episode, as Lauren begins her maternity leave after having Baby Davis! The guys discuss the recent news of the upcoming closures for Double Barley Brewing (Smithfield, NC) and Eurisko Beer Company (Asheville, NC), which leads into a review of some historical data provided by the Brewers Association. Has the craft beer industry plateaued or become too saturated for small breweries to be sustainable? Or are there other trends or factors that contribute to the seemingly rising number of micro breweries closing in recent years? Stay tuned until the end to listen to Joe and Nick's attempt at "LC's Pick of the Week"!
