BDN article cites School of Economics, Maine Brewers’ Guild study
A Bangor Daily News article cited a January 2019 study by the Maine Brewers’ Guild and Andrew Crawley, an assistant professor in the University of Maine School of Economics. The article focused on a new economic impact study of Maine’s beer industry, commissioned by the National Beer Wholesalers Association and the Beer Institute, that found the industry contributes $2 billion annually to Maine’s economy and supports 15,531 jobs in the state. The UMaine and Maine Brewers’ Guild study found that breweries and related activities by their suppliers and employees contributed $260.4 million to the Maine economy in 2017, up from $225 million in 2016, the BDN reported. Maine Public carried the BDN article.
