Brewing at the time of COVID: the impact of the pandemic crisis on UK craft breweries and its implications for the sector and local economies
基于2015-2022年数据，从区位视角分析新冠疫情对英国精酿酒厂的影响，发现城市、郊区和乡村酒厂的应对策略存在显著地理差异，并探讨其对后疫情时代行业和地方经济的启示。
The COVID-19 crisis has had a significant impact on UK craft breweries. In this paper we explore and assess the impact of COVID-19 on the UK craft beer sector from a locational perspective, targeting entrepreneurial responses from breweries within and across the urban, suburban and rural dimensions. Using a mix of quantitative and qualitative data collected between 2015 and 2022, we identify a marked geographical contextualization in terms of how UK craft breweries adapted and responded to the pandemic crisis, which explains how location shaped and still shape breweries’ strategies in a post-COVID-19 ‘new normal’ world.
