Breweries in Montana produce a wide range of beers in different styles that are marketed locally, regionally, and nationally. Brewing companies vary widely in the volume and variety of beer produced, from small nanobreweries and microbreweries to massive multinational conglomerate macrobreweries. In 2012 Montana's 38 brewing establishments (including breweries, brewpubs, importers, and company-owned packagers and wholesalers) employed 220 people directly, and more than 4,700 others in related jobs such as wholesaling and retailing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.beerinstitute.org/br/economic-impact/economic-impact )〕 As of September 2015, there are 60 breweries in operation in the state of Montana. Including people directly employed in brewing, as well as those who supply Montana's breweries with everything from ingredients to machinery, the total business and personal tax revenue generated by Montana's breweries and related industries was more than $98 million.〔 Consumer purchases of Montana's brewery products generated more than $21 million extra in tax revenue.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.beerinstitute.org/br/economic-impact/economic-impact )〕 In 2012, according to the Brewers Association, Montana ranked 3rd in the number of craft breweries per capita with 36.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Brewers Association )〕 For context, at the end of 2013 there were 2,822 breweries in the United States, including 2,768 craft breweries subdivided into 1,237 brewpubs, 1,412 microbreweries and 119 regional craft breweries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.brewersassociation.org/pages/media/press-releases/show?title=brewers-association-announces-2013-craft-brewer-growth )〕 In that same year, according to the Beer Institute, the brewing industry employed around 43,000 Americans in brewing and distribution and had a combined economic impact of more than $246 billion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.beerinstitute.org/br/economic-impact/economic-impact )〕 ==Legal information== Definitions According to the Montana Code Annotated 2009, section 16-1-106 Definitions:〔http://data.opi.mt.gov/bills/mca/16/1/16-1-106.htm Montana Code Annotated 2009, section 16-1-106 Definitions〕 and section 16-3-213 Brewers or beer importers not to retail beer—small brewery exceptions:〔http://data.opi.mt.gov/bills/mca/16/3/16-3-213.htm Montana Code Annotated 2009, section 16-3-213 Brewers or beer importers not to retail beer -- small brewery exceptions〕 Licensing The roots of Montana’s liquor licensing system date back to 1933, when Prohibition ended and taverns sprung up throughout the state. In 1947, the state enacted a quota system, allowing one tavern for every 1,500 residents of a city. But the taverns in existence at the time were grandfathered in, and what the state considers to be an excess of liquor licenses now exists in Montana cities.〔http://www.newwest.net/city/article/the_strange_world_of_montana_alcohol_law/C8/L8/ New West - "The Strange World of Montana Alcohol Law"〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of breweries in Montana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
