A microbrewery, or craft
brewery, is a modern brewery which produces a limited amount of
beer, usually with an orientation toward distinctive and flavourful products. In Australia, there is no strict definition for a microbrewery; however, the definition for membership of the
Independent Brewers Association provides a fair guide that could be considered appropriate. That is, a brewer sells less than 40 million litres of beer per annum and is not more than 20% owned by a brewer that produces more than 40 million litres of beer per annum anywhere in the world. The following is a list of notable microbreweries in Australia, listed alphabetically. In July 2017, there were approximately 500 small breweries in Australia. ==See also==
