Ten Thousand Breweries

Thanks to a whopping great list of German breweries sent to me by Thomas Furche, the Beer Me! Regional Brewery Guides list has surpassed the 10,000-brewery mark! To be precise, I now list:

• 7,417 operating breweries


• 99 breweries-in-planning



• 158 breweries that are no longer brewing but still operate as a restaurant/pub


• 2,373 breweries that have closed down

Thanks to Thomas and all of the Beer Me! contributors for contributing to the site's success!
