Note: the number of microbreweries is highly suspect, most sites claim 1000+ or 1500+. Another source is needed.

They overlap and deal with the same thing. BalfourCentre 13:19, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Craft beer talk page

You guys don't have a clue about craft beer ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.31.251.164 (talkcontribs)

Hey, now .. . someone has made a well-intentioned start on a topic that's of interest to me, and I'd think to you too, based on your post. I'd agree, though that this could use expansion and editing, although 'craft beer' is a loose enough term that there's sure to be a wide range of interpretations of what it means. I'd certainly like to see this page developed further, and I'll try to take some time to make some contributions myself in the near future. --Shorn again 20:56, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

OK, so I made an edit. I removed the Brew Guild link as it seemed to place disproportionate importance on one local brewing supply store. If anyone feels strongly it should be included, I would propose a page for brewing supply retailers. I also external-linked the Brewer's Association website to the reference made to it. I tried to massage the language a bit to promote NPOV and better flow, and added some general history. It still needs a lot of work, and particularly more citations and facts. Something about the percent of the marker craft beer represents would be good. And what the heck are the 'rules of alternating proprietorship' anyhow and who follows them? --Shorn again 02:15, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge into Micro brewery

They are related and the terms are almost/sometimes are interchangeable BalfourCentre 13:20, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge Brewpub

A brewpub is a type of microbrewery, as such it is appropriate that it should have a section within this article. SilkTork *SilkyTalk 15:27, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
