The brewery=* tag should be given for restaurants, bars, pubs, and similar features for indicating which breweries' beer they have available. This includes all brands of beer that are served / selled, whether on tap (draft beer/draught beer) or sold in the bottle.

How to map

The common syntax is: brewery=<name_of_brewery>. (e.g. brewery=Krombacher where the beer comes from  Krombacher Brauerei).

If it is selling beer from 2–4 different breweries, you can use a semicolon to seperate them: brewery=<name_of_brewery>;<name_of_brewery>

Significant usage is also as a property brewery=yes/no to indicate whether a place has a brewery. This is incorrect. microbrewery=yes is the correct tag for this designation.

The value brewery=various should only be used if a very large number of beer brands are offered and this would not justify the effort of listing all brands. As a rule, this is the case with five or more.

Tagging examples

Additional tags

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.

Brewpubs

A pub which brews beer on site is called a brewpub, and can be considered a kind of microbrewery. Such a pub is tagged with microbrewery=yes.

A brewpub's beer might be sold only for consumption on the premises, or packaged for retail (off sales), or sold elsewhere as well.

Taprooms

A pub focused on craft beers, usually has multiple taps of several beer styles. Such a pub is tagged with real_ale=yes.

Unlike brewpubs, in a taproom doesn't brew on the premises.
