Comments.Text: I'm not saying it isn't. I'm saying that there are very specific legal classifications for pubs and breweries in various locations and that in my location in particular "micropub" isn't even a classification. I don't know what it would be. Just a point of clarification.

  Young in terms of establishments - Micropubs "traditionally" have to adhere to certain "standards":
  
  There is only one room  
  Generally too small to have a bar  
  No Televisions  
  No Juke Boxes  
  No manufactured (think commercialized) beer  
  No lagers! (Literally is a dirty word - think yelling a racial slur among the people associated with that slur)  
  No spirits (usually just Wine, Ale, Cider - though soft drinks and water can be supplied for children and DDs)
  
  The focus is to shun electronics (outside of electricity) focus on social interactions and ales (and maybe sometimes pub snacks).

  In the US, the "microbrewery" name is going away, and being replaced with "craft beer" as many formerly small breweries have grown so much. But they are still small compared to companies like Budweiser, Miller, Coors, etc. One [definition](https://www.brewersassociation.org/statistics/craft-brewer-defined/) is: "Annual production of 6 million barrels of beer or less..."
  
  Beyond that, they take every conceivable form: big restaurant plus small brewery, small restaurant attached to big brewery, tasting room in an industrial park (without food), some guy's garage... whatever the local law allows.
  
  The only constants, for businesses that last, are good beer and staff that like beer too.
