These companies brew and package their beer for distribution to retail channels. With rare exception, these companies bottle their beer. Most also package their beer in kegs for mass distribution. Many also package their beer in metal cans.
Some brewers don't actually own any of their own brewing equipment, but contract with another brewer to produce and package their recipes. These are known as "contract brewers".
In the United States, brewers that produce fewer than 15,000 bbl per year are termed "microbreweries".

A brewpub, sometimes termed a "Restaurant/Brewery", is a restaurant that features an on-site brewery. Most of the beer brewed is consumed in the restaurant. Brewpubs typically do not package their beer for outside consumption except in "Growlers" (1 gallon take-home jugs) and kegs (where allowed by law). Some brewpubs have their beer served at other nearby restaurants and some sporting venues.
