Craft Brewery Openings Slow In The UK

The craft beer industry which has been on fire in the United Kingdom is signaling that it might be slowing somewhat…

According to HMRC, shorthand for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs department, the number of new craft brewery openings is slowing. In spite of recent data from national accountancy group UHY Hacker Young which showed craft beer increasing its market share in pubs and supermarkets, a total of 430 new breweries opened in the United Kingdom in 2017, down from a record 520 the previous year.
