Abstract

This paper investigates the relationship between regulatory settings and differences in the development of craft brewing industries across regions. We argue that changes in consumption-focused regulations have impacted production in the craft brewing industry. Drawing on a comparative case study of two Australian states, we also demonstrate how growth and development vary across jurisdictions with different regulatory approaches to the distribution and sale of alcohol. Specifically, we find three dimensions of liquor licensing strongly influence industry outcomes: (1) the timing of regulatory interventions; (2) their flexibility regarding the sale, distribution and consumption of alcohol; and (3) their intersection with national competition policy. Early licensing reforms in Victoria during the 1980s catalysed new independent brewery formation by facilitating the emergence of new types of licenced premises to compete with hotels. This intervention lowered barriers to entry for craft brewers. In the 2010s, more flexible producers' licences were introduced that allowed on-site sale and consumption of beer. Currently, intersecting liquor and competition policy settings are reshaping the craft brewing industry by enabling consolidation of liquor retailing. Our research offers an institutional interpretation of the rapid growth in craft brewing that broadens a literature primarily focussed on organisational and cultural factors.

精酿行业的监管与重组
本文研究了监管环境与不同地区精酿行业发展差异之间的关系。我们认为,以消费为中心的法规的变化影响了精酿行业的生产。通过对澳大利亚两个州的比较案例研究,我们还展示了不同司法管辖区对酒精分销和销售的不同监管方法如何导致增长和发展的差异。具体而言,我们发现酒类许可的三个维度强烈影响行业结果:(1)监管干预的时机;(二)酒类销售、分销和消费的灵活性;(3)与国家竞争政策的交集。20世纪80年代,维多利亚州的早期许可改革促进了新类型的特许经营场所的出现,从而促进了新的独立啤酒厂的形成,与酒店竞争。这种干预降低了精酿啤酒的进入门槛。在2010年代,引入了更灵活的生产商许可证,允许现场销售和消费啤酒。目前,交叉的白酒和竞争政策设置正在重塑精酿行业,使白酒零售的整合。我们的研究为手工酿造的快速增长提供了制度解释,拓宽了主要关注组织和文化因素的文献。
