Geographic Patterns of Craft Breweries at the Intraurban Scale

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the intraurban geography of craft breweries in ten cities across the United States and empirically tested whether these establishments tend to cluster within cities using spatial statistical techniques.
Abstract: This article examines the intraurban geography of craft breweries in ten cities across the United States. First, through an exhaustive literature review, we outline both supply- and demand-side factors that might cause craft breweries to cluster. Second, we empirically test whether these establishments tend to cluster within cities using spatial statistical techniques. Many communities are attempting to support the establishment of more craft breweries as a way to boost tourism and economic development. The findings from this article aid in this discussion by providing insights into how craft brewers locate and the factors that could influence their location decision behavior. Our findings suggest that craft brewers do in fact cluster. There are both supply and demand factors responsible. On the supply side, the collaborative environment within the industry and the artisan nature of the industry's products allows for benefits of clustering to outweigh the costs associated with this behavior. On the demand...

TL;DR: This article examined industry transformations in the brewing sector in Canada and Germany and showed how metanarratives shape these processes by making tacitly held understandings explicit in language, externalizing alternative organizing principles around "the art of making" and "cooperation as a means to prosper".
Abstract: Narratives are central to the organization and transformation of society due to their ability to maintain stability and promote change. This dual ability is realized by metanarratives as they articulate and reiterate the organizing principles that underpin social arrangements and shape the development of related storylines. Narratives can also be mobilized to justify and legitimize change processes through sensemaking that articulates alternative perspectives and verbalizes new realities into existence. However, previous research has not explicitly examined the reciprocal interdependence of these processes, and a nuanced understanding of how new narratives are constructed by and among organizations is still missing. Responding to this gap, this research empirically explores how small businesses draw on organizing principles for making sense of their attempt to transform industrialized production and consumption systems into more sustainable versions. The examined industry transformations in the brewing sector in Canada and Germany show how metanarratives shape these processes by making tacitly held understandings explicit in language, externalizing alternative organizing principles around ‘the art of making’ and ‘cooperation as a means to prosper.’ The case studies illustrate how studied small businesses creatively draw on these organizing principles to make sense of new action contexts in a way that challenges industrial and competitive industry arrangements; these alternative metanarratives support small businesses to create new meaning categories around ‘aesthetics’ and ‘affective work’ (i.e., creating and managing emotions), and establish a ‘collaborative ethos’ as well as ‘relational identities.’ This research demonstrates that the constructed narratives of change that guide industry transformations toward sustainability do not emerge in a vacuum and that both alternative organizing principles of metanarratives and the sensemaking of actors are mutually dependent.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the growth of the craft brewing in the United States and the preference of many craft breweries for inexpensive building space in economically distressed neighborhoods, concluding that there is a dark side to this neighborhood revitalization as rising real estate values has forced many established, often low-income, residents to leave these neighborhoods.
Abstract: Abstract In recent decades, the number of craft breweries in the United States has increased dramatically, increasing from around a thousand in 1996 to over six thousand today. In order to minimize start-up and initial operating costs, many craft breweries have located in older buildings in economically distressed neighborhoods. Craft breweries are particularly adept at engaging in adaptive reuse, with the result that they occupy buildings that were previously once churches, cinemas, fire stations, etc. This investment by craft breweries, in conjunction with investment by other businesses (as well as the public sector), has resulted in the revitalization of many of these neighborhoods. Neighborhoods that were once full of abandoned buildings and suffered from social problems such as high crime rates have become destinations for residents and tourists alike. At the same time, however, there is a dark side to this neighborhood revitalization as rising real estate values has forced many established, often low-income, residents to leave these neighborhoods. In this paper, I examine the growth of the craft brewing in the United States and the preference of many craft breweries for inexpensive building space in economically distressed neighborhoods.

TL;DR: The authors explored the geographies of beer by examining the cultural impacts and economic trends that have intersected, diverged, and shaped the current beer landscape (beerscape), highlighting the similarities and divergences within these beerscapes, from local to global scales of analysis, and from a diversity of perspectives and locales.
Abstract: Beer has been an integral part of many cultures over the millennia. As a hearty social lubricant that also provided nutritional sustenance, beer has played important roles in celebrations, rituals, and social structures. The amalgamation of the four ingredients that create beer—water, malted grains, yeast, and hops (Humulus lupulus)—vary across time and space, and reflect the societies in which they are found. As such, this volume explores the geographies of beer by examining the cultural impacts and economic trends that have intersected, diverged, and shaped the current beer landscape (beerscape). Each chapter underscores the similarities and divergences within these beerscapes, from local to global scales of analysis, and from a diversity of perspectives and locales.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that the degree of overlap of two individuals' friendship networks varies directly with the strength of their tie to one another, and the impact of this principle on diffusion of influence and information, mobility opportunity, and community organization is explored.
Abstract: Analysis of social networks is suggested as a tool for linking micro and macro levels of sociological theory. The procedure is illustrated by elaboration of the macro implications of one aspect of small-scale interaction: the strength of dyadic ties. It is argued that the degree of overlap of two individuals' friendship networks varies directly with the strength of their tie to one another. The impact of this principle on diffusion of influence and information, mobility opportunity, and community organization is explored. Stress is laid on the cohesive power of weak ties. Most network models deal, implicitly, with strong ties, thus confining their applicability to small, well-defined groups. Emphasis on weak ties lends itself to discussion of relations between groups and to analysis of segments of social structure not easily defined in terms of primary groups.

TL;DR: In this paper, the theoretical micro-foundations of urban agglomeration economies are studied, based on sharing, matching, and learning mechanisms, and a handbook chapter is presented.
Abstract: This handbook chapter studies the theoretical micro-foundations of urban agglomeration economies. We distinguish three types of micro-foundations, based on sharing, matching, and learning mechanisms. For each of these three categories, we develop one or more core models in detail and discuss the literature in relation to those models. This allows us to give a precise characterisation of some of the main theoretical underpinnings of urban agglomeration economies, to discuss modelling issues that arise when working with these tools, and to compare different sources of agglomeration economies in terms of the aggregate urban outcomes they produce as well as in terms of their normative implications.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the so-called principle of minimum differentiation, as based on Hotelling's 1929 celebrated paper (Hotelling [3]), is invalid and that no equilibrium price solution will exist when both sellers are not far enough from each other.
Abstract: The purpose of this note is to show that the so-called Principle of Minimum Differentiation, as based on Hotelling’s 1929 paper “Stability in Competition” is invalid. The purpose of this note is to show that the so-called Principle of Minimum Differentiation, as based on Hotelling’s 1929 celebrated paper (Hotelling [3]), is invalid. Firstly, we assert that, contrary to the statement formulated by Hotelling in his model, nothing can be said about the tendency of both sellers to agglomerate at the center of the market. The reason is that no equilibrium price solution will exist when both sellers are not far enough from each other. Secondly, we consider a slightly modified version of Hotelling’s example, for which there exists a price equilibrium solution everywhere. We show however that, for this version, there is a tendency for both sellers to maximize their differentiation. This example thus constitutes a counterexample to Hotelling’s conclusions. We shall first recall Hotelling’s model and notations. On a line of length `, two sellers A and B of a homogeneous product, with zero production cost, are located at respective distances a and b from the ends of this line (a+ b ≤ `; a ≥ 0, b ≥ 0). Customers are evenly distributed along the line, and each customer consumes exactly a single unit of this commodity per unit of time, irrespective of its price. Since the product is homogeneous, a customer will buy from the seller Econometrica, 47(5), 1145–1150, September 1979. Center for Operations Research and Econometrics

Abstract: This paper provides a rigorous foundation for the second-order analysis of stationary point processes on general spaces. It illuminates the results of Bartlett on spatial point processes, and covers the point processes of stochastic geometry, including the line and hyperplane processes of Davidson and Krickeberg. The main tool is the decomposition of moment measures pioneered by Krickeberg and Vere-Jones. Finally some practical aspects of the analysis of point processes are discussed.
