artisanal brew

Small-batch fermented beverage

Artisanal brew refers to beer or coffee made in small batches using traditional methods, emphasizing craft and quality over mass production.

The term signals handmade authenticity: The taproom features twelve artisanal brews on rotation.

Sometimes used mockingly for pretentious marketing of ordinary products: It's just coffee, not some artisanal brew.
