Breweries in New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire's 21 brewing establishments (including breweries, brewpubs, importers, and company-owned packagers and wholesalers) employed 490 people directly, and more than 5,000 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 )〕 Altogether 21 people in New Hampshire had active brewer permits in 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.beerinstitute.org/br/economic-impact/beer-statistics )〕 Including people directly employed in brewing, as well as those who supply New Hampshire's breweries with everything from ingredients to machinery, the total business and personal tax revenue generated by New Hampshire's breweries and related industries was more than $264 million.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.beerinstitute.org/br/economic-impact/economic-impact )〕 Consumer purchases of New Hampshire's brewery products generated more than $37 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, New Hampshire ranked 10th in the number of craft breweries per capita with 21.〔(【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 )〕 ==History== New Hampshire has a long history of brewing, though the recent microbrewing movement has been somewhat slower to catch on here than in neighboring states.〔(The Good Beer Guide to New England - Andy Crouch - Google Books )〕 There is evidence of brewing at Strawbery Banke, now Portsmouth, as early as 1635, with most beer being brewed at taverns for the next two centuries. Despite Portsmouth's waning overall importance in the state, the Frank Jones Brewery was the dominant brewery from its inception in 1859 until New Hampshire began Prohibition in 1917. Many breweries were consolidated in the years following the repeal of Prohibition, and the state went without a brewery from 1950 until the opening of the Anheuser-Busch regional brewery in 1970. Portsmouth, however, has been restored as the brewing capital of New Hampshire with the state's second and third largest breweries, Seattle-based Redhook, and Smuttynose Brewing Company, the largest and oldest New Hampshire-based brewery still in operation.〔(Brewing in New Hampshire (NH) (Images of America): Glenn A. Knoblock, James T. Gunter: 9780738536972: Amazon.com: Books )〕 Despite lagging behind its neighbors, a nascent craft beer culture is emerging in New Hampshire, and the state recently released an official brewery map to promote local beer.〔http://www.visitnh.gov/uploads/itineraries/2014/NH-Brewery-Map-2014.pdf〕 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「Brewing in New Hampshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
