Gypsy brewing

In gypsy brewing, a brewer does not own a plant but brews recipes in the premises and on the equipment of other breweries. The brewer remains responsible for recipe, ingredients and quality and sells the beer under their own name.

The approach lowers entry costs and is common in the craft scene. It is similar to contract brewing but puts more emphasis on the own recipe and the brewer's mobility. The terms are not used uniformly.
