It's an "if it quacks like a duck" question, isn't it?

Most English* breweries (large and small) have historically had a 
"brewery tap" adjacent to the brewery, owned by the brewery which sells 
that brewery's beer.  At the smaller end 
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/304814504) it'd qualify as a 
microbrewery, even though the beer's also available elsewhere, but at 
the larger (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/403137224) it 
certainly wouldn't.

*and quite possible elsewhere too of course.
