I think it's here to stay. The big beer companies are nervous about losing market share so they are out there trying to buy up some of these big craft brewers. They don't want to put them out of business they just want to keep control of the overall beer market.
The big beer companies, just like the big soda companies, put pressure on these smaller establishments to buy their high priced products. By brewing your own beer you can call the shots on who you want to let in for bottled beers. A lot of breweries have shut out the bottle beer companies all together and many food establishments can't be strong armed into buying from a certain popular bottling company because they have so many more choices at better pricing.
