The state currently has 28 craft breweries and 15 brewpubs, with more in the works. Breweries may not sell alcohol directly to consumers, but can give away their beer with a paid tour — up to 36 ounces on premises and up to 72 ounces (equivalent of a six-pack) for off-site consumption. Brewpubs can sell beer for on-site consumption. We did not include contract brewers in this list.
