I was wondering if there is any kind of rule of thumb on the minimum population size of an area surrounding a brew pub that is considered necessary to keep the pub operating. I guess the same calculation would apply in estimating whether or not an area is saturated with breweries.
I ask because the town's economic development directory would like a brew pub to open in their main square. The town is the county seat and home to about 5000 people with another roughly 10000 in the outlying county. The area has not seen population growth in decades, however development has been moving its way. There have never been any breweries established there before. The nearest largest city is about 12 miles away with a population of 58000 in which there is one brew pub.
Any suggestions for him would be appreciated.
