Whether you buy into the “broken windows” theory or not, I think we can all agree that if we had a choice between a vacant lot and a beer garden, that us craft beer geeks would choose the latter.
And that is why what is happening in San Francisco is so cool. Read it HERE.
Why vacant lots aren’t being utilized across the country is strange to me. Allowing carts to converge brings people and allows communities to stay vibrant. And who knows, maybe a pub will see that the response is strong and build. Or a restaurant. Or hell, even a tiny park is better than a weed choked blank patch of land.
What other ways can beer help revitalize communities?
