| I had an interesting conversation tonight and learned something about a brewery: They buy sweet wort (i.e. unhopped) from another brewery, and then proceded to boil, hop and ferment the beer. Basically they are a brewery without a mash/lauter tun. So the question is: How much of the process must be done on site for it to be called a "real brewery"? This is really no different than a brewery that uses malt extract, but I can see how some purists might object. Supposed they bought bitter wort (i.e. hopped) and just fermented it with their yeast. Is that a "brewery?" |
