Brewery

A brewery is a factory where beer is made. Breweries are usually sited near a source of suitable water, with which the beer is brewed, and good transport links to bring in the dry ingredients (mainly malt and hops) and take out the finished beer. Burton-on-Trent is one famous example of a brewery town.
