Crafting is beautiful,<\/strong>\u00a0also and especially in the world of\u00a0beers<\/strong>.\u00a0Comac<\/strong>\u00a0knows that perfectly as, since 2011, through the\u00a04SizeS project<\/strong>, dedicates a special attention to the needs of\u00a0craft brewing companies<\/strong>, when it comes of\u00a0kegging<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0bottling<\/strong>. Building on its\u00a0experience gained on the difficult American market<\/strong>, where the art of craft beer has been a tradition for decades,\u00a0Comac continues to keep quality level high, also towards this kind of small companies<\/strong>. The latest news on the sector is the increasingly extensive use of\u00a0plastic kegs<\/strong>\u00a0as containers.<\/p>\n

A confirmation of this trend comes from one of the recent surveys by\u00a0Confartigianato<\/strong>\u00a0(The Italian Confederation of Skilled Crafts) where it resulted that Italian families spend\u00a01,523 million Euros a year\u00a0<\/strong>for craft beers. In the wake of this success,. the\u00a0number of producers\u00a0<\/strong>over the last three years has been constantly growing. According to data from Confartigianato, there has been an\u00a0increase by 61.8%<\/strong>\u00a0meaning that, every 11 days,a new craft brewing company is started in Italy.<\/p>\n

This data is encouraging, although the\u00a0American market<\/strong>\u00a0keeps growing at such an\u00a0incredible pace,<\/strong>\u00a0if compared to our country: in the US,\u00a02 craft brewing companies are started a day<\/strong>. The Italian system, on the economic and financial level, does not offer instruments efficient enough to encourage the starting of microcompanies. Any improvement, from this perspective, would help the birth of new activities and the development of a new entrepreneurial spirit in the sector, as it happens overseas.<\/p>\n

Lombardy<\/strong>, where\u00a0Comac<\/strong>\u00a0is headquartered, is however the region in our country that sees the highest number of this kind of companies, followed by Sicily, Campania, Veneto and Emilia-Romagna.<\/p>\n

Craft beer therefore is good, offers new job opportunities and is also healthy, as we have already written in some other posts of our blog. Confartigianato agrees as well: the Confederation has pointed out that, due to the ever increasing attention to\u00a0traditional techniques<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0genuine raw materials<\/strong>, the percentage of Italian people affected by obesity is dropping, with the value at 9.8% for 2015, compared to 10.3% recorded in 2014, well below the average of European countries (16.7%)<\/p>\n
