craft brewery
Small-batch ale producer
A craft brewery is a small, independent brewery that produces beer in limited quantities, typically emphasizing traditional methods, quality ingredients, and distinctive flavors over mass-market appeal.
The term emerged in the late twentieth century as small breweries distinguished themselves from large industrial producers: We visited three craft breweries on our trip to Portland.
The threshold for "small" varies by country and industry definition.
