Midwestern Beer Jobs in America’s Brewing Heartland

Chicago, dubbed the nation’s brewery capital, is home to more breweries than any other city in the nation (167), according to statistics from the Brewers Association. Plentiful locally-grown wheat and other resources like hop farms (once abundant before Prohibition) make this region a popular destination for top breweries. And unlike the distinct styles of the coasts (West Coast IPAs and New England IPAs), Midwestern beers offer a little something for […]

In particular, there is a lot of confusion surrounding dispensaries. In fact, Pew Research found that there is a 25-point percentage gap between respondents’ support for legalization (which stands at 75 percent) and their support for a dispensary opening nearby (which stands at 50 percent).
