craft brewer
Small-batch ale producer
A craft brewer is a small, independent brewery that emphasizes traditional brewing methods and distinctive flavors over mass production.
The term emerged in the late 20th century to distinguish artisanal producers from large commercial breweries: The craft brewer down the street makes an excellent stout.
Craft brewers often experiment with unusual ingredients and styles.
