This paper explores the potential of the craft beer sector for regional development, focusing on Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. It traces the historical journey of this sector and examines the complex interactions between brewing, society, policy, and the economy. The authors review current policies and sectoral realities in the Celtic context and propose a grounded and holistic vision of regional craft-brewing policies, particularly in terms of circular and zero-waste ecosystems.
This paper examines the potential of the craft beer sector as a regional development lever. Focusing on three culturally linked but politically distinct small nations, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, it takes a historical journey from the inception of this sector to the present day. Discussion focuses on highlighting the complex interactions between brewing, society, policy and economy. We review current policy and sectoral realities for our Celtic context and propose a grounded and holistic vision of regional craft-brewing policies, particularly around more circular and zero-waste ecosystems.
