I was looking at some breweries back in July and made a few notes
here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:EdLoach/Brewery
I didn't discover the craft=brewery page, so presume I was looking
at what was used. The September 2010 adoption of craft=brewery is
perhaps quite recent which reflects the low usage figures shown on
the wiki page.

With reference to Brian's suggestion about a relation relating
breweries to the pubs where their beer is available, firstly I felt
that was too close to using a relation as a category:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Relations_are_not_Categ
ories
but even if we were to create such relations I don't think they'd be
workable as beers appearing at pubs at guest ales would need adding
and removing far too frequently. Perhaps better to add a tie=yes/no,
tied=<whoever> combination of tags if known. Or operator=<whatever>
for pub chains and the like.

But generally I'm in favour; for pubs that brew beer on premises I
presume we'd use the brewery=* tag:
