This is alist of notable microbreweries. Amicrobrewery is abrewery which produces a limited amount ofbeer.[1] The qualifications to be classified as a microbrewery vary by country. The term "microbrewery" originated in theUnited Kingdom in the late 1970s to describe the new generation of small breweries which focused on producing traditionalcask ale. The first example of this approach wasSelby Brewery founded by Martin Sykes in 1972 in theYorkshire town of the same name.[2] Although originally "microbrewery" was used in relation to the size of breweries, it gradually came to reflect an alternative attitude and approach to brewing flexibility, adaptability, experimentation, and customer service. The term and trend spread to theUnited States in the 1980s, where it eventually was used as a designation of breweries that produce fewer than 15,000 U.S. beerbarrels (1,800,000 liters) (475,000 U.S. gallons) annually.[3]
