local breweries
Community craft producers
Local breweries are small-scale beer-making operations that serve a limited geographic area, typically a single city or region.
The term emphasizes both proximity and scale, distinguishing these establishments from large commercial brewing corporations.
Local breweries often function as community gathering spots with taprooms where patrons can sample beers on-site.
We checked out three local breweries on our weekend trip.
The craft beer movement has dramatically increased their numbers since the 1990s.
