Comments.Text: I would suggest reading [the Wikipedia article](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_beer). Your answer is going to depend on what you define as a brewery, and how much information you need. Does it need a name, or is it enough to know that there are recordings of beer brewing in Ebla, Syria in 2500 BCE?

Comments.Text: Brewing beers predates existence of breweries by a significant margin, therefore closing this basing on assumption "first recognized brewery"="first time beer was made" is horribly flawed.
