The prizes for guessing that a lot of US breweries closed during the prohibition era. Numbers were falling rapidly before prohibition because of the ready availability of reliable pure drinking water and electricity.

Up until the early 20th century, people did not drink beer that wasn’t bought from an area nearby because of the difficulties of preserving beer through refrigeration. Once electricity was readily available to refrigerate beer, the economies of scale kicked in.
Initially, beer was for the masses and there was may be one or two beers on tap at any part in Australia or New Zealand. Very few bottled beers were available behind the bar.

In recent decades, there has been the rise of boutique beers as incomes have risen. A number of tasty boutique beers emerged emerged on the market. I’d like a particular Belgian beer because it has cinnamon in it.
