From our interview with Alyssa, we were able to identify three primary causes that explain the success of microbreweries in Colorado.
1. State/National legislation that allows microbreweries to take advantage of the vast natural resources (mainly water) Colorado has to offer.
2. Local cooperation/relationships between microbreweries and ingredient producers.
3. A local culture that fully support microbreweries and fuels strong demand for artisian beer.
Identifying these causes allows us to compare them to our findings in Argentina. By doing so, we can see the key differences in mircrobrew culture between the United States (specifically Colorado), and Argentina.
