Brew Pub:
A bar/restaurant which usually serves food and makes beer to consume on the premises. Typically they don’t bottle and sale other than in very small “take them with you” quantities. One local example is Rock Bottom Brewery. Great food, great beer and you can purchse liters etc. They don’t distribute their beer however.

Microbrewery:
Generally a microbrewery makes and distributes less than 15,000 barrels of beer yearly. The beer is packaged and distributed for off the premises sales. Some brew pubs meet this criteria, but I would still define them as a brew pub.

Regional Brewery:
A regional brewery packages and distributes between 15,000 and 1,000,000 barrels yearly.

Large Brewery:
A brewery that produces more than 1,000,000 barrels of beer annually. Anheuser/Busch, Miller etc.

Beer Marketing Company:
A company who puts their label on a beer that is produced for them.
