What do craft brewers do?

Craft brewers are involved in every step of the beer-making process. They set up, operate and tend to all beer production equipment–filter presses, centrifuges, batch stills, and fermenting tanks–that extract and separate materials to make a refined product. 

Where do craft brewers work?

Craft brewers typically work in small-scale and independently owned operations, known as micro or craft breweries, that produce small amounts of beer. The industry has grown in popularity since 2013, as breweries and consumers have expressed more interest in high-quality, flavorful products.
