[edit] Microbrewery?
This article just got categorized as a category:microbreweries? Is this appropriate? Summit produces (the last time I checked) over 40,000 gallonsbarrels, which is well over what most people would label a microbrewery? I'm moving to remove the categorization... other opinions? -- Kaszeta 23:35, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- In the rec.food.drink.beer faq (http://www.faqs.org/faqs/beer-faq/part2/) it gives this info -- According to the Institute of Brewing there are four categories as follows:
-
- Large Brewers - Production in excess of 500,000 barrels/year
- Regional Brewers - Production between 15,000 and 500,000 bbl/yr
- Microbrewers - Production less than 15,000 bbl/yr
- Brewpubs - Production for onsite consumption only
- If Summit brews 40,000 gallons then that's about 1290 barrels (assuming 31 gals/bbl), so that would be micro. If you meant they produce 40K barrels then they'd be regional.
- FYI, Summit is brewing well over 60,000 barrels per year right now. - Ryan
