Through social media, they interacted with future customers throughout the project, creating a community before the brewery even opened. On the supply side, brewers are innovating – in the ingredients they use, their marketing and their use of social media.

What better way to enjoy a blustery winter day than at one of the city’s craft breweries? With six breweries serving a population of about 70,000, the city has the 11th highest per capita concentration of microbreweries of any city in SmartAsset’s study. It also has more than 40 bars, or about one bar for every 2,800 residents.
