MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - It is no secret that businesses of all kinds were challenged by the pandemic but perhaps none more than breweries across the state. According to a study by the University of Minnesota the Minnesota economy lost over $180 million in economic activity from breweries alone from COVID-19. Loss of traffic, sales and a can shortage were just some of the factors contributing to this loss. Large breweries like Shell’s in New Ulm were hit hard as well.
