Industry Code: 14500
This industry describes breweries and includes the warehousing, distribution, and marketing activities.
Operation Details:
Beer is manufactured through a process known as fermentation. A batch of hops, malt, water and additives are mixed together and a bacterial culture added to start the process. After a period of time the liquid is strained off, tested for alcoholic content and quality, then bottled and marketed. Beer cannot be made chemically; all beer is made by a natural bacterial action. Beer is manufactured most often through a highly-automated process.
