On the TOC list alone, I count four out of the dozen-plus, and that\u2019s not even counting the folks who have departed prior to start\/join their own orgs (Off Color, Virtue, 5 Rabbit, etc).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Not a single brewer I talked to<\/strong> seemed interested at all in doing this primarily for the money \u2013 this is (almost) entirely an industry driven by passionate people who just want to make good stuff. Words I kept hearing: \u201cFreshness.\u201d \u201cQuality.\u201d \u201cDo it myself.\u201d \u201cCommunity.\u201d Yes, it\u2019s obviously a growing market and the fact that it\u2019s never been a better time to start a brewery probably factors into the big rush of these projects that are incoming, but it was nice that I never once heard the word \u201ccompetition\u201d or \u201ccompetitor\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The state of Chicago beer is<\/strong>: blessedly varied. For everyone that was excited about making a damn good IPA, another person was excited about NOT making an IPA. For those who love brewing the Belgian styles, others were looking forward to American hop-forward beers, and others wanted session beers while others want to make some heartier beers. All in all, if you want variety in your locally crafted alcoholic beverages, it\u2019s hard to better than Chicago right now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Self-distribution is super-freaking important<\/strong>, you guys. I know a lot of people still consider SB 754 to be a bummer based on licensing rules about brewpubs and production facilities and distribution cutoff points but without at least the freedom to consider DIY distro from the get-go, I don\u2019t think a lot of these breweries would get past the dreaming stage. For the new guys who are already aligned with a distributor, more power to you guys too \u2013 more freedom to make beer without worrying how to get it to bars and restaurants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There is no one-size-fits-all way to open a place that makes beer,<\/strong> other than the requisite paperwork. Kickstarters. Small business loans. Pro brewers set out on their own, or homebrewers growing up and starting fresh. Taprooms. Production facilities. Bottling lines. Canning lines. Alternating proprietorships. Contracting to start. 1 bbl systems. 40 bbls systems. Distro. Self-distro. There are so many ways to get beer into this market today and none of them is right or wrong \u2013 it\u2019s just how you want to get it done. It\u2019s fascinating, really.<\/p>\n<p>I mentioned this at the end of the piece (if you made it that far) but <strong>I don\u2019t think we\u2019re near anything resembling a bubble.<\/strong> There\u2019s so much room around here and the population can support and incubate these smaller startups on a neighborhood level. Look, Portland has a shitload of local breweries and a way lower population density and they do okay. If you\u2019re thinking of starting up, keep working at it. We\u2019ve got room.<\/p>\n<p>Moral of the story:<\/p>\n<p>2013 has been the best year in history for Chicago beer. <strong>2014 should be better.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that I&#8217;ve delivered the facts about all those breweries in the Time Out Chicago piece, how about some random post-writeup blithering?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":12317,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
