How to map
The common syntax is: brewery=<name_of_brewery>. (e.g. brewery=Krombacher where the beer comes from ![[W]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/Tango_style_Wikipedia_Icon_no_shadow.svg/20px-Tango_style_Wikipedia_Icon_no_shadow.svg.png){kind=icon}
Krombacher Brauerei).
If it is selling beer from several breweries, you can use a semicolon to seperate them: brewery=<name_of_brewery>;<name_of_brewery>
Subkeys
If the different special kinds of beer are sold from different breweries, tag like:
brewery:<kind_of_beer>=<name_of_brewery>, brewery:<kind_of_beer>=<name_of_brewery2>
E.g., brewery:weizen=Paulaner, brewery:pils=Jever.
