A brewery or brewing company is a business that makes and sells beer.
The place at which beer is commercially made is either called a brewery or a beerhouse, where distinct sets of brewing equipment are called plant.
The commercial brewing of beer has taken place since at least 2500 BC; in ancient Mesopotamia, brewers derived social sanction and divine protection from the goddess Ninkasi.
Brewing was initially a cottage industry, with production taking place at home; by the ninth century monasteries and farms would produce beer on a larger scale, selling the excess; and by the eleventh and twelfth centuries larger, dedicated breweries with eight to ten workers were being built.
