[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.

Oops, I meant 40,000 barrels. Here's an outdated link[1]. It's a fairly large regional brewer (and, indeed, when I last toured they got upset if you called them a microbrewery). -- Kaszeta 17:38, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

FYI, Summit is brewing well over 60,000 barrels per year right now. - Ryan

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Summit brewery logo.jpg

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.
