Economic Trends:
Tapas – Hot and New From personal experience and interest, I have noticed the influx of tapa and tapa-inspired bars and restaurants. These places are developing just like the sushi trend has been developing over the past decade or so. All at once there was something different that offered smaller, more affordable, and usually healthier, options for eats.

After visiting Spain, and discovering good wine (and discovering I just didn’t like American wine), I figured I would try this new “craft beer” thing; despite my loathing for previous beer experiences. And I have become, over time, a person that never drank beer to one that can finally identify what I am looking for in a beer and seeks tasteful beer out; and now has a huge selection in which to find it. However, this opportunity is much more involved and takes greater knowledge in the subject. You would need to highly educate yourself on the different types of brews so that you can, therefore, educate others; and this, itself, can take a long
