Breweries

There are several types of breweries: Micro, Regional, and Major. Breweries may also do contract brewing for other labels. There are also Brew on Premise breweries where "homebrewers" can make beer in a commercial grade environment. There are lots of breweries, but I am primarily interested in smaller breweries in the Twin Cities area ... or the five state region ... or having international fame.

Of beer an enthusiast has said that it could never be bad, but that some brands might be better than others ...
