Craft beer

Bergenhus microbrewery, Bergen, Norway[1]
Craft brewing at Allagash in Portland, Maine

Craft beer is beer manufactured by craft breweries, which typically produce smaller amounts of beer than larger "macro" breweries and are often independently owned. Such breweries are generally perceived and marketed as emphasising enthusiasm, new flavours, and varied brewing techniques.[2][3][4]

The microbrewery movement began in both the United States and United Kingdom in the 1970s,[5][6] although traditional artisanal brewing existed in Europe for centuries and subsequently spread to other countries. As the movement grew, and some breweries expanded their production and distribution, the more encompassing concept of craft brewing emerged. A brewpub is a pub that brews its own beer for sale on the premises.[7]
