microbrewing
Boutique ale production
Microbrewing is the production of beer in small batches, typically by independent breweries emphasizing craft and quality over volume.
The practice revived traditional brewing methods and regional styles that industrial brewers had abandoned.
A microbrewery produces limited quantities, often for local distribution or on-site consumption: The microbrewing scene in Portland has exploded.
