The companies classified under NAICS 312120, where they are based, how big they are and how the code maps to SIC.

**Short answer:** NAICS 312120 is the code for Breweries, in sector 31-33: Manufacturing. The companies counted under it are mostly very small: 61% have 50 or fewer employees, and 53% are headquartered in the United States.

## What is NAICS 312120?

NAICS 312120 is the code for Breweries. It belongs to sector 31-33: Manufacturing. NAICS, the North American Industry Classification System, is the standard U.S. government agencies use to sort businesses by what they mainly do, and each digit narrows the category. Most of the companies counted also carry SIC 2082, Manufacturing malt beverages, in the older SIC system (78%). NAICS is a North American system, so companies outside the US, Canada and Mexico are placed in it by classification.

- The largest group is headquartered in the United States (53%). Within the US, California is the biggest state (15%).
