Brauhaus - Craft Brewer

Craft Brewer

Craft brewer is a term coined by the American Brewers Association; it gives a definition of "small, independent and traditional", with small defined as an "annual production of 6 million barrels of beer or less", and beer produced by a craft brewer being termed "craft beer". The Brewers Association further groups craft brewers as microbrewery: annual production less than 15,000 US beer barrels (1,800,000 L); brewpub: sells 25% or more of its beer on site; regional craft brewery: at least 50% of its volume is all malt beers. Of the 1,759 breweries in America, only 43 are not defined as craft brewers, and 100 not defined as either a micro or brewpub.
