POULSBO, Wash. (AP) — At the beginning of the year Poulsbo had no breweries. Now it has four.
The Kitsap Sun reports the breweries produce small batches in kegs. None are bottling yet, but they hope to grow.
Many of the small breweries arise from home-brewers who decide to go commercial. So far, they haven’t had any trouble selling out.
Brad Ginn of Sound Brewery says they’re doing well in a slow economy because craft beer is seen as an affordable luxury.
