Find Brewpubs and Microbreweries and Breweries

Brew Pub Fun Fact: According to July 2003 estimates published by the Association of Brewers (now the Brewer's Association), there were over 1,000 brewpubs in the United States. Arguably, over a third of these are in the West Coast states of Washington, Oregon, and California, with Oregon having the largest number per capita of any state in the country. Colorado is often regarded at a higher level by the press and statistics. Denver has a reputation as the brewpub capital of North America, and "America's Beer Haven". Denver's mayor, John Hickenlooper, is the founder of Denver's famous Wynkoop.

The maximum amount of beer a brewery can produce and still be classed as a microbrewery varies by region and by authority, though is usually around 15,000 barrels (18,000 hectolitres/ 475,000 US gallons) a year.[1]

Brewery:

A brewery can be a building or place that produces beer, or a business (brewing company) whose trade is the production and sale of beer. Breweries can take up multiple city blocks, or be a collection of equipment in a homebrewer's kitchen. The diversity of size in breweries is matched by the diversity of processes, degrees of automation, and kinds of beer produced in breweries. Typically a brewery is divided into distinct sections, with each section reserved for one part of the brewing process.
