Texas' unseasonably hot summer coupled with rising prices have left some local craft breweries struggling to bounce back from their pandemic-related problems.

Why it matters: The pandemic shuttered taprooms and stopped production at many breweries, and local brewers are still regaining their footing.

Zoom in: While Austin Beerworks posted a 12% increase in 2021, the local craft brewery has yet to return to its pre-pandemic levels.

What they're saying: Blame it on the triple-digit temps and inflation, said Austin Beerworks co-founder Michael Graham.

Of note: Austin Beerworks generally sees higher sales during the fall and winter months as consumers reach for beer during cooler weather, festival season and sporting events.
