Whenever I see a graph with sliders (sliders disengaged on above), I just seem to move them back and forth.
In this instance, going granular with the data isn’t really needed. There is that nearly upright line moving upward starting from 2009-10. And that is the one to focus on.
At this point even a good sized downward spike will still keep us above the all-time historical number and if/when the downshift occurs, my gut is telling me that others will use that equipment to build up their current brewery or start a new one.
The question that is most burning for me is, “Can 6K be far reached?”
