Perhaps because they've already got a dozen bars, and every Saturday their front yard is littered with bottles and smells like pee? 
If their front yards are littered with bottles and smell like pee, they should probably look at the gas stations and liquor store. Bars don't let you leave with booze, and they have public bathrooms.
Yeppers.
Brew pubs are so 2000s. How about a place that makes its own gin and vodka? I saw a thing about one of those out west and it's an awesome concept. Liquor tax laws being what they are, they have to bottle the stuff, sell it to a wholesaler and buy it back before they can pour it, but I like the concept.
