Appendix 3

Contract Breweries in North Carolina

Contract breweries are companies that hire someone to brew beer for them. Once the beer is brewed, they either act as their own distributors or hire distributors to sell and deliver the beer for them. Contract breweries tend to get a bad rap because of the misconception that they are not involved in the brewing of the beer. In fact, many contract breweries have their own recipes. Most are closely involved with the brewing process but simply do not own brewing facilities.
