New York City’s craft beer industry, once thriving, is now grappling with the growing pains of rapid expansion.

The Bronx Brewery, which has a location in Port Morris and two in Manhattan, recently merged with Captain Lawrence Brewing Co., based in Westchester County.— are forcing some breweries to close, cut costs or at least look for creative ways to broaden their appeal as the initial novelty of craft beer has waned.its only taproom a year ago, though its beers are still available in bars and retail stores. Brooklyn saw another closure as recently as this month, when Greenpoint Beer and Ale Co.

But today, craft beer is no longer a novel option. Customers have absorbed it into their ever-expanding menu of choices, which may include wine, hard seltzer, cider and liquor — or no alcohol at all.
