Beer Microbrews Made People Brewery Makes Small Amounts

word microbrew
definition A beer made by a brewery that makes beer in small amounts.
eg_sentence As a city of 75,000 people with eight breweries, it offers a greater variety of microbrews per capita than any other place in America.
explanation Microbrews are usually beers or ales made with special malts and hops, unfiltered and unpasteurized, and thus distinctive in their aroma and flavor. Many microbreweries double as bar/restaurants, called brewpubs, where the gleaming vats may be visible behind a glass partition. “Craft brewing” and the opening of local brewpubs began in earnest in the U.S. in the 1980s. But not everyone is willing to pay extra for a beer, and lots of people are simply used to the blander taste of the best-selling beers, so by 2008 microbrews still only accounted for about 4% of all beer sold in the U.S
