Geography and branding in the craft beer industry

Ryan M. Hynes and Dieter F. Kogler

ABSTRACT

We investigate the quantitative link between geography and branding in the craft beer space by assembling a novel dataset of tens of thousands of breweries, their marketing language, and their public perception. We use named entity recognition to process breweries’ description text, and extract the counts of geographic and location labels. We regress these counts against breweries’ rating score, which we take as a measure of public perception. We find a strong, positive link between the number of place-based labels and a brewery’s rating. This is the first large-scale quantitative result in this space, and is strong evidence of the positive link between geography, branding, and public perception. We also contribute by introducing novel data collection and text processing techniques to the regional studies and geography of beer literature. Our results confirm several previous qualitative and survey-scale studies in this space, and establish a definite link between place-based branding strategies and brewery perception.

Abstract
Perhaps more than any other product, beer evokes its place of origin. Part of what makes every pint of Guinness or stein of Paulaner so memorable is what sets them apart and gives them their unique "taste of place." This chapter explores the geographical differentiation of beer. To do so, we collect data on regional beer recipes, styles, and ingredients from a homebrewing website. We then employ Evolutionary Economic Geography (EEG) methods and create weighted co-occurrence networks for the ingredients within each style. We use these networks to identify which ingredients are most important to each beer style, measure a style’s robustness, and compare differences between geographically close and distant styles. While previous literature focuses on the related diversification of regions, we use these methods to examine the differences within the same product and across many regional styles and flavours. Combining the EEG methods with this unique ingredients dataset, we show that almost all beer styles rely on only a handful of key ingredients. Yet some regional beers are more robust than others due to readily available substitute ingredients in their region. Likewise, we demonstrate that styles originating in close geographic proximity are more similar in their use of ingredients.

This slide discusses innovation policy's potential to drive the transformation toward sustainability. It highlights challenges, including the pressure of continuous economic growth, the slow pace of decoupling growth from emissions and resource use, and whether challenge-led policies focused on growth can meet sustainability goals. Proposed solutions emphasize low-energy, low-material innovation, community-driven approaches, and aligning innovation policy with ecological and social value creation.

Very nice opportunity here for an aspiring early career researcher. Deadline 10th of December.
