Comment on ‘It all disappeared with Brexit’: Craft beer boom ends as more than 100 UK firms go bust

I’m a bit skeptical of Brexit being significant here. Craft beer from small breweries generally isn’t exported, and often it doesn’t go that far from the area in which it’s brewed.
All the other reasons listed (pandemic, cost of living crisis, tax rules etc) are plausible though.
If Brexit contributed to a general economic downturn then luxury goods with cheaper and readily available substitute goods would be one of the first to be hit by people spending less.
But like you said, it’s probably very hard to delineate the effects of Brexit from general economic malaise.

Looks like it was meant for export here.
