This is a fascinating, and potentially complex chance for students to look at costs and revenues in the craft brewing sector, with an increased supply of beer, and increasingly cost-sensitive consumers seemingly driving down the price of craft beer and driving some small craft brewers out of business.
However, isn't this just about the efficient operation of markets, and efficient resource allocation. If a craft brewer produces a premium product, they will be able to charge a premium price. That said, their small-scale is likely to mean a higher price for their beer than mass produced beers. It's also a chance to reflect on shutdown points and so on.
