Iconic Breweries Of The World

Welcome to our new feature series, Iconic Breweries Of The World.

Over the next few months, we will be showcasing eight breweries that are total legends, but unlike ones from Greek mythology, they’re actually real and none of them are half-human half-horse. They’ll be profiled in article form here on the site, and some will also have accompanying Instagram Reels (cos that’s what the kids want these days). We’ll be dropping one feature every couple of weeks.

While these breweries aren’t necessarily all “craft”, our one rule is that we are sticking to those that are still independent. The notion of “iconic” is pretty broad, too; we feature breweries that have inspired others, or created a beer that has become ubiquitous, or represent whole regions. They are all different in size, scale and style, and they span various parts of planet earth.

You’re probably going to disagree, or if you’re feeling generous you might agree and then also disagree, so feel free to sound off to your heart’s content as to which breweries you think are iconic that we aren’t featuring.

Our first feature drops in March 2026…

Share and enjoy!
