>production is just being moved to Rochester though.

I don't think this really captures how important small business is to Vermont. This is likely culling a lot of jobs across the whole supply chain that locals rely on to survive.

I think GC was more referring to the "fall" in the article's title. This might be bad for Vermont, but it's hardly the "fall" of Magic Hat.

There are more than enough brewers and distillers in VT that it won't be that big a deal. Regionally at least, Alchemist, Lawsons and Switchback are bigger names now.

Hemp has also become a thing.

Fortunately, the space is being taken up by another brewery, Zero Gravity (which produces really great beer), and I believe that they're picking up some of their employees.

I honestly don't think it's detrimental to the industry here: there are a TON of smaller breweries that are all doing really well.
