# Brewery email list: every craft brewery, brewpub and taproom in your area

Leadraft builds a list of breweries from Google Maps for the area you choose: microbreweries, taproom breweries, brewpubs, regional craft breweries, and nearby cideries and meaderies if you want them. Each brewery comes with its phone, website, address, rating, reviews, hours and social profiles, plus up to 5 emails found on the brewery's own website. Every email is checked against the live mailbox and graded **Verified**, **Accept-all** or **Invalid**, and invalid ones are never exported.

## How big is the brewery market?

The Brewers Association counted 9,724 breweries in the US in 2025, and 9,578 of them were craft breweries: 3,784 taproom breweries, 3,525 brewpubs, 1,994 microbreweries and 275 regional craft breweries. The Census Bureau's count is lower (5,218 establishments with paid employees in 2023, NAICS 312120) because brewpubs are often classified as restaurants or bars. By Census count, California leads (561), then New York (316), North Carolina (263), Pennsylvania (260), Colorado (257) and Washington (253). Most breweries are small and owner-run: the owner or head brewer buys brewing supplies and equipment, a taproom manager runs front of house, and larger breweries have a sales or distribution manager who works with wholesalers.

## How many breweries are there in each state?

California, New York and North Carolina have the most. The Census Bureau counted 5,218 establishments in **Breweries (NAICS 312120)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list.

## What's in a brewery lead list

Every row is one brewery business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for breweries:

| Field | Why it matters for breweries |
| --- | --- |
| **category / categories** | Splits Brewery from Brewpub, Beer hall and Bar. A grain or hop supplier wants actual brewers; a POS or event vendor also wants beer halls and gastropubs. Check categories, because bars that sell craft beer sometimes appear for brewery searches. |
| **email + grade** | Breweries usually publish info@, events@ or a sales address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** is a maybe. |
| **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger breweries list separate addresses for events, distribution, careers and merchandise. The role and source columns help you reach the owner, brewer or sales manager rather than the events inbox. |
| **hours** | Taproom hours tell you whether a brewery runs a taproom and how busy it is. Many are closed early in the week, which is when brewers brew and have time to read email. |
| **rating + reviews** | Taproom review count tracks visitor volume. Breweries with many reviews sell more on site and buy more glassware, cans and merchandise. |
| **instagram / facebook** | Breweries announce releases and events on Instagram and Facebook. Active accounts point to breweries that put money into marketing. |
| **website + website\_platform** | Breweries sell merchandise, event tickets and beer-to-go online. A brewery without online ordering is a lead for e-commerce and web vendors. |

About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv).

## Search terms that find every brewery

No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates.

**Search terms:** brewery, craft brewery, microbrewery, brewpub, taproom, brewery taproom, nano brewery, farm brewery, craft beer, beer garden, beer hall, brewing company, brewery restaurant, dog friendly brewery, sour beer brewery, lager brewery, cidery, meadery, brewery tours, local beer.

**Google Maps categories:** Brewery, Brewpub, Beer hall, Beer garden, Bar, Gastropub, Cider mill, Distillery.

Leadraft includes these in its [Food & hospitality keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#food-hospitality) (79 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade.

## Who sells to breweries, and what works

-   **Brewing ingredient and packaging suppliers.** Malt, hops, yeast, cans, labels, crowlers and kegs. Lead with lead times and minimum orders that fit a small brewery's batch size.
-   **Brewing equipment makers and service companies.** Brewhouses, fermenters, canning lines, glycol chillers and maintenance. Target growing breweries (high review counts, expanding hours) and new openings.
-   **Taproom POS and brewery management software.** Taproom POS, inventory, batch tracking and excise tax reporting. Pitch less time on reports and fewer stock surprises.
-   **Food trucks and caterers.** Many breweries have no kitchen and book food trucks for the taproom. Trucks can list every brewery in their area and ask about the rotation. See our [food truck list](https://leadraft.co/leads/food-trucks).
-   **Event, entertainment and merch vendors.** Trivia hosts, live music, yoga-and-beer classes, branded glassware and apparel. Lead with taproom traffic on slow nights.
-   **Distributors and retailers.** Wholesalers, bottle shops and bars looking for local beer can list every brewery in a region and reach the sales contact. See our [liquor store list](https://leadraft.co/leads/liquor-stores).

## How to segment and qualify a brewery list

### Production breweries vs brewpubs

Brewpubs sell most of their beer with food on site and buy like restaurants. Production and taproom breweries buy packaging and work with distributors. Use the category column to split them.

### Taproom-only breweries

Taproom breweries without a kitchen are the best leads for food trucks, events and taproom software. Look for Brewery rows with evening and weekend hours and no restaurant category.

### Size

Review counts and the number of emails on the site are rough proxies for size. Regional breweries have a sales team and distribution; nano and microbreweries are often one or two people.

### Beyond beer

Cideries, meaderies and distilleries share suppliers and customers with breweries. Add those terms if your product fits all of them, or keep them separate.

### Newly opened breweries

A new brewery needs equipment, packaging, software, insurance and a website. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps.

## How to reach breweries

### Early week, before the taproom opens

Brewers brew and clean in the mornings, and taprooms are busiest Thursday to Sunday. Email so it lands Monday to Wednesday before noon.

### Talk like a brewer

Use the trade's words: barrels, batches, cans, kegs, distributors. Mention a beer or a release you saw. Generic restaurant pitches get ignored.

### Alcohol rules are their business

Breweries operate under federal (TTB) and state alcohol rules, which vary widely by state. Don't make claims about what a brewery can legally do in your pitch; describe your product and let them judge.

### CAN-SPAM and TCPA

Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup.

## How to find brewery leads: build the list in four steps

1.  **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file).
2.  **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade.
3.  **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked.
4.  **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever.

## Breweries lead lists: questions

How do I find brewery leads?

Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search terms such as brewery, craft brewery, microbrewery, brewpub and taproom, and Leadraft finds every matching business on Google Maps inside that area. It finds emails on each brewery's own website, checks them, and lets you export to CSV or XLSX or push to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot.

How many breweries are there in the US?

The Brewers Association counted 9,724 breweries in 2025, including 9,578 craft breweries: 3,784 taproom breweries, 3,525 brewpubs, 1,994 microbreweries and 275 regional craft breweries. The Census Bureau's 2023 County Business Patterns counts 5,218 brewery establishments with paid employees (NAICS 312120), lower because many brewpubs are classified as restaurants or bars.

How much does a brewery email list cost?

Leadraft charges one business credit per brewery, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. With 9,724 breweries in the whole country (Brewers Association, 2025), a nationwide list fits one month of the Starter plan ($19 for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). If you want 4,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one metro first.

Can I get only taproom breweries without kitchens?

Roughly, yes. Search brewery and taproom terms, then use the category column to drop Brewpub and restaurant rows. Check the website for a food menu before you pitch, because categories don't always show whether a brewery serves food.

Are the emails verified?

Each email is checked against the brewery's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the brewery's own website, with the page each was found on.

Do you include brewer or owner names?

No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each brewery publishes on its own website, sometimes a named owner or brewer, with the role and the page it was found on.
