Together We're Bitter

[REnerd]

Dare I say that Abe Erb is a restaurant, with a brewery on display?  To say it is a brewery is just not correct (IMO).

It could be a lot smaller if it wasn't seating 70+ people for dinner and drinks....

I suspect that the Bitter people are going with a much more modest sized 'pub'.

In what way is it not a micro-brewery?

I think that a brewery can have an auxiliary restaurant but it is generally very limited in size etc.   I have a feeling that the Abe Erb restaurant is much larger.

Secondly, they serve a lot of other beers in their restaurant.  Classic micro-breweries will serve only their beer (I think ??).  I believe a micro-brewery can serve their own beer with less licensing oversight.   Add to this they also sell spirits.

I could go on but none of my reasons are really well 'backed-up'.  Maybe someone knows something about what makes a micro-brewery a micro-brewery and can tell me I'm wrong (or right  )?
