US Breweries
U.S. Location Dataset // 13,952

13,952 US brewery locations merged from the Brewers Association's own member directory and the Open Brewery DB registry, with a street address on 96%, coordinates on 93%, a phone on 86% and a website on 79%. The type column separates microbreweries, brewpubs, regional and large breweries, contract and proprietor arrangements, taprooms and satellite locations, and in-planning sites — which matters, because the widely quoted figure of roughly 9,700 US breweries counts production breweries only. Filter this file to production sites and it returns 9,483, right on that number; the larger headline count includes the taprooms and satellite locations that are separate physical places a supplier still has to serve. Ingredient and equipment suppliers, packaging and canning vendors, distributors and importers, POS and hospitality software companies, and anyone mapping the craft beer market work from this.

All 13,952 records, as published — the complete set rather than a sample. That matters most for coverage and gap questions: put together the same list from partial searches and every location you miss reads as a gap that is not there, so the answer is wrong rather than merely late. Assembling the U.S.-wide coverage by hand also means one query per area against sources that cap what they return per search.
