Can I search for breweries by location coordinates?

Yes, many entries in the Open Brewery DB include precise latitude and longitude coordinates, making it possible to query for breweries near a specific geographical point.

Are international breweries included?

While the primary focus of Open Brewery DB has historically been the United States, it is actively expanding to include breweries from the UK, Ireland, South Korea, and other international locations.
