Open Brewery DB
APIFree REST API for brewery, cidery, and craft beer shop data
Overview
Open Brewery DB offers RESTful endpoints to access global data on breweries, cideries, and craft beer bottle shops. Key endpoints include listing all breweries, retrieving a single entry by ID, searching by name/location, and filtering by type (e.g., microbrewery, taproom). Responses are JSON-formatted with fields like name, address, phone, website, and brewery type. Ideal for integrating into beer discovery apps, travel planning tools, local business directories, or academic research on craft beverage trends. No authentication or rate limits apply to basic usage.
