Brewing beer is more of a local industry in the USA than it has ever been before. The US already passed the 7000 brewery mark and it seems like there is a craft brewery on every corner. But have you ever been to a brewery that seems really small and barely has any production space but they managed to keep 8 taps worth of beer rotating and supply all the local bottle shops? Well, that’s because brewers large and small often contract out some of their production to third-party brewing facilities to do some of their work.
