So, when will the bubble burst and why?
Everything is finite and it will burst at some point.
I go to breweries all the time (travel a lot) and most are passable, some terrific and some are utter garbage. ( Just like most industries) .
I see this industry getting gimmicky real quick. I realize you need to be fresh in approaches to gain market share; but will you be able to retain? I might try a vegan milkshake , lemongrass, anjeo pepper, tumeric pilsner finished in oak nail barrels. Hell I might even like it; but how many would and how many will buy again and again.Would said beer be your go to? Then to be ahead of the curve you get more gimmiky. When is it still called beer ?
On the flip side; how many Ipa's from every brewery taste the same? Looking at my local beer place I see Bells, Founders, Lagunitas, Shipyard, Cigar City, Sierra Nevada, Firestone, Oscar Blues, Stone, Visctory, Elusain, Descuttes, Troegs, Terripan, etc etc etc...
They all have basically a 3c, amarillo, simcoe, citra, Ipa offering. So why am I inclined to choose one over the other.
I dunno, but something will give sooner or later.
