A brewpub is a pub or restaurant that brews beer on the premises. The first American brewpub was Grant's Brewery Pub in Yakima, Washington, which opened in 1982. According to Merriam-Webster, the term was first used in America in 1984. Before the development of large commercial breweries most beer would have been brewed on the premises from which it was sold. The Blue Anchor brewpub in Helston, Cornwall, England, was established in 1400. It is regarded as the oldest brewpub in the UK. In Munich, Germany, most of the brewpubs are not independent but owned by larger breweries.
