New York City's craft beer industry is experiencing challenges due to rising rents, high labor costs, and increased competition, leading to closures and operational shifts.
The recent closures, including Coney Island Brewing and Greenpoint Beer and Ale Co., highlight the struggles of breweries adapting to the shifting market demands.
Some breweries, like the Bronx Brewery, are merging with others to enhance sustainability, demonstrating a trend towards collaboration that may offer more resilience in a challenging landscape.
