T
he Massachusetts craft brewery industry is facing a slowdown due to changing consumer preferences and declining sales. Paul Bauer notes that breweries often occupy remodeled industrial buildings with unique retail spaces, making it challenging for new tenants to adapt these properties.

    Bauer highlights the issue of vacated brewery spaces being difficult to re-lease or sell, as they don't fit traditional commercial or industrial use profiles. This raises questions about their future use and potential value. The industry's struggles have led to closures and mergers in Massachusetts, with breweries seeking ways to adapt to a shifting market.
