| Abstract: | In 2020, we examined Sydney's Inner-West Council's development applications for micro-brewery tasting bars and found that 19 DAs were submitted for nine licenced micro-brewery tasting bars (mean 2.1 per micro-brewery) [[33]]. Sydney's inner-west is brimming with micro-breweries, should we be worried and what does it mean for research and policy? Second, we recommend an evaluation on how micro-breweries contribute to the normalisation and even glorification of alcohol (e.g., promoted as family-friendly venues despite a key focus on alcohol consumption) and focus on different population groups that frequent micro-breweries to determine whether some are more vulnerable to alcohol-related harm than others. Areas of Sydney, Australia have high levels of alcohol outlet density saturation [[7]], despite the known increased harm [[8]] and the World Health Organization and Australian National Alcohol Strategy recommendation to reduce outlet density to reduce alcohol use [[10]].
