The big brewing industry offers multiple Possibilities and a great quality. We owe both of these factors, in part, to the craft beer. And we will explain why.

Craft beer generates 28 jobs For each industrial beer production workplace to make the same number of litres. To that we must add that 9 each 10 Craft beer factories are located outside the provincial capitals and, many of them, in the heart of the rural settings. Thus, the president of AECAI, Javier Donate, find a great opportunity:
This represents a clear opportunity for economic development in the so-called Empty Spain that we have been told about so many times in recent times. The small breweries are helping to establish population and provide jobs in small population centers, often in towns with few inhabitants.
Craft beer represents a key sector for the Spain emptied. Employment means people who make their living in rural municipalities. In turn, it translates into higher birth rates and population growth. Slowly. Without sectors that support these almost uninhabited towns in the not too distant future there will be nothing else to do. The problem is that we are not talking about 2, 5 or 10%, but about a 42%. Necessary restock all these small population centers.
