I believe so, 100%. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry homebrewer who can get financing now seems to be hell-bent on 'going pro'. I think a lot of this is driven by the current job market.
Realistically, how much 'beer money' is there to go around? I'd love to latch onto one or two 'locals' and support them, but 5,6,7? Not possible.
A good friend of mine just ditched his union job, moved to a farm in Mass, and is attempting to open a brewery using all his own hops. More power to him, but I'll keep my union job and hope for the best for him. The prospects don't look secure enough for me to even consider something like that.
I guess we'll just have to see how it plays out.
