What is a brewpub?
Answers:
Pub with brewery on premises.
A brewpub is, generally, a combination brewery/restaurant. The beer is made on-premises for consumption by the restaurant patrons. Various regulations govern the ratio of beer/food sales to prevent breweries from serving token food items while selling mostly beer. Very common in Europe and the source of a growing industry in the North America.
Where I spend to much of my time, No really it's a Restaurant/Bar that has it's own beer making casks. It's usually an independent brew maker who makes small batches but recently has included larger breweries like Sam Adams.
a restaurant which brews on premise, and the better ones make their own craft brews that accentuate their menu, great happy hours, appealling to all, singles,families, business meetings, a place to find a circle of friends who have expertise where ya might not. We have a big circle, but anyway I'm the token welder guy who saved the day for the Ichabod release (annual fall pumpkin ale)bottom line =family

Before the development of large commercial breweries, beer would have been brewed on the premises from which it was sold. Alewives would put out a sign such as an ale-wand to show when their beer was ready. Gradually men became involved in brewing and organised themselves into guilds such as the Brewers Guild in London of 1342 and the Edinburgh Society of Brewers in 1598; as brewing became more organised and reliable many inns and taverns ceased brewing for themselves and bought beer from these early commercial breweries.
However, there were some brewpubs which continued to brew their own beer, such as the Blue Anchor brewpub in Helston, Cornwall, England, which was established in 1400, and is regarded as the oldest brewpub in the British Isles. While in Germany, the brewpub or brauhaus remained the most common source of beer and in 2005 there were still over 300 long established brewpubs.
Despite the stronghold of brewpubs in Germany, the trend throughout the world during the early to mid 20th century was for larger brewing companies. This trend started to change during the 1970s when the popularity of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA)'s campaign for traditional brewing methods, and the success of Michael Jackson's World Guide to Beer, encouraged brewers in the UK such as Peter Austin to form their own small breweries or brewpubs.
Interest spread to America, and in 1982 Grant's Brewery Pub in Yakima, Washington was opened, reviving the American "brewery taverns" of well-known early Americans as William Penn, Samuel Adams and Patrick Henry. The growth since then has been considerable: according to July 2003 estimates published by the Association of Brewers (now the Brewer's Association), there were over 1,000 brewpubs in the United States. Arguably, over a third of these are in the West Coast states of Washington, Oregon, and California, with Oregon having the largest number per capita of any state in the country. Colorado is often regarded at a higher level by the press and statistics. Denver has a reputation as the brewpub capital of North America, and "America's Beer Haven". Denver's mayor, John Hickenlooper, is the founder of Denver's famous Wynkoop.
