microbreweries
Small-batch beer makers
Microbreweries is the plural of microbrewery—a small-scale brewery producing limited quantities of beer, typically emphasizing craft techniques and distinctive flavors over mass production.
The term emerged in the late twentieth century as alternatives to major commercial brewers gained popularity: The city's microbreweries offer everything from pale ales to sours.
Microbreweries often sell directly to consumers through attached taprooms.
