The craft beer scene in Budapest

What is it about?

his study looked at where craft breweries tend to be located in Budapest. It considered several factors that influenced this choice. Customers with cash: Breweries do well in areas with more people, especially those with higher incomes. This is because these areas have a larger pool of potential customers who can afford craft beer. Universities are another good sign, as students often fan craft beer. The city environment: The study also looked at the city's overall health in that area. Lower unemployment suggests a stronger economy, which might be good for breweries. However, many existing businesses can make it harder for new breweries to compete, so they might prefer areas with lower rents, like old industrial zones. The company of other breweries: Interestingly, the study found that breweries tend to cluster together. This suggests that being around other breweries can be beneficial, perhaps because it creates a "craft beer district" that attracts customers. However, breweries also need to consider how much competition there already is in the area.
