There appears no halting the explosive growth, however, as illustrated by the recent study of the county craft beer industry by San Diego-based think tank National University System Institute for Policy Research.
That study put the countywide economic impact of the industry at $66 million this year, growing to $91.5 million in 2016.
That will translate into about $11 million in sales tax revenues next year. And the industry supports more than 1,300 jobs.
