The 2020 annual production report from the Brewers Association, a not-for-profit trade organization for small / independent breweries, stated, “The number of operating craft breweries continued to grow in 2020, reaching an all-time high of 8,764, including 1,854 microbreweries, 3,219 breweries, 3,471 taproom breweries and 220 regional craft breweries. During the year there were 716 new breweries opened and 346 closings. While openings were down about 30% compared to 2019, only half of that decrease is due to COVID. “
The RBC became the first active local brewery in the city of Racine when it opened in March 2018. It retained this status until the Littleport Brewing Company entered the scene as the city’s second brewery in April of this year.
That news comes after the local brewery opened its own outdoor beer garden at Ten Club Park in Waterford. The last days for the beer garden are Friday, August 27th and Saturday, August 28th.
