Microbreweries are small-scale breweries that focus on producing limited quantities of beer, often emphasizing quality, flavor, and unique brewing techniques. Typically, they produce less than 15,000 barrels of beer annually, allowing for more creativity and experimentation compared to larger commercial breweries. Many microbreweries also prioritize using local ingredients and traditional brewing methods. These establishments often foster a strong community connection, offering tastings, tours, and events to engage with customers. Microbreweries may also create a variety of beer styles, from IPAs to stouts, catering to diverse tastes and preferences. This focus on craft beer has contributed to the growing popularity of the craft beer movement.
