Open Brewery DB

About Open Brewery DB

Open Brewery DB is a free, open-source dataset and REST API providing public information on breweries, cideries, brewpubs, and bottleshops. The dataset covers 11,822 breweries across 23+ countries and 213+ states and regions, categorized into 14 brewery types such as micro, brewpub, planning, contract, and regional operations.

The API is JSON-based and requires no sign-ups, API keys, or rate limits, making it suited for web apps, student projects, and live integrations. The dataset is maintained on GitHub, where contributors can submit corrections or add breweries via pull requests, and it is also available as a bulk download in formats like CSV or SQL for offline analytics or custom database use.

The project is community-driven, with 73 contributors listed, and is intended for developers, researchers, and craft beer enthusiasts who need structured brewery data.
