On the subject of predictions and hopes, I like the idea of taprooms as destinations, reasons for mini-roadtrips. As EVs gain ground, what about charging stations at some of the breweries. From Rochester, a trip out to Beer Tree, for example, would be a piece of cake if the car could charge for the return trip while the customer is sampling delicious beer. I don't know the economics of hosting a charging station so this might be a silly idea but during the infancy of the EV transition, with long charging times (that will eventually shorten), it could be a nice feature to get EV owners to travel further than they might otherwise.
