Micro Brewing is most often referred to as beer that is brewed in one’s home or small pubs in your neighborhood. In the 1970s, the term was first coined in the UK where it was used to describe traditional cask ale, or smaller units that made their own beer.

For a long time, micro brew was a term used only to characterize the size of a brewery and the amount of volume that it produced. For instance, any breweries that were producing less than 15,000 beer barrels in a year were known as micro breweries. These days, it has become not only a more popular term, but also a more popular beer as it has spread it’s way throughout the Western world, offering unique tasting beer and customized service to small localities.

Many beer connoisseurs would be quick to tell you that the best beer is brewed in microbreweries because of the freedom they have to experiment with recipes. Micro brewed beer often has a distinct flavor that is richer than most of it’s big competitors. The exciting part about it is that every local pub or home micro brewery will have their own twist on brewing beer that ends up offering customers a wide variety of great beer.

The popularity of micro brewing has helped to increase the number of people who brew their own beer from home and often creating groups and regularly scheduled shin-digs based around their beer brewing.
In addition, there is often at least one micro brewing club in your local community that is a great way to socialize among other brewers who share the same passion. The beer tasting is always a hit as well, of course.
