The craft beer market is thriving, with small and independent brewers continuing to grow in double-digit figures. As such, restaurants and bars are regularly forced to decide which logos to place on their pumps and the types of bottles that should adorn their fridges.
There’s a good chance, however, that they haven’t thought a great deal about the kind of beers they should stop selling.
