In the City of Vancouver there are five breweries in my somewhat industrial neighbourhood. In another nearby somewhat industrial neighbourhood there are another five. There several others scattered about in the nearby satellite municipalities.
A decade ago if you walked into a Vancouver liquor store that specialized in craft beer you'd find it mostly full of Seattle and Portland craft beers. Now you'd find the stock overwhelmingly dominated by high quality beer made within Metro Vancouver city limits.
We don't find it at all odd to find independent mom n' pop restaurants in every neighbourhood of every town, and I believe in the long term we'll find that every town of reasonable size will have a few mom n' pop breweries that largely serve the local populace.
