Their reasoning is that it shows the demand for quality beer and that businesses are willing to invest because in turn it will be profitable. That makes sense, though what isn't healthy is the change of farmers going from producing food to producing fuel, which is part of the reason some breweries are struggling. The video game industry is also going through a very similar consolidation. All good discussion over a pint or three.
