Common questions
What database powers this craft brewery finder?
The locator queries Open Brewery DB, an open-source public registry containing over 8,000 verified craft breweries, microbreweries, brewpubs, and cideries across the United States and internationally.
What is the difference between a microbrewery and a brewpub?
A microbrewery is an independent brewery producing fewer than 15,000 barrels annually, primarily selling through taprooms and distribution. A brewpub is a restaurant-brewery that sells 25% or more of its beer on-site alongside full food service.
Can I search by state or zip code?
Yes. You can search by municipality name (e.g. Portland, Austin, Denver), full state name, or 5-digit US postal code.
How do I get directions to a brewery?
Click the 'Directions' button on any brewery card to launch turn-by-turn navigation directly in your default map application.
Does this tool track my location or search queries?
No. All searches execute via client-side fetch requests directly in your browser. We never collect or store your location data or search queries.
