brewery / brewpub
A building where beer is brewed. Often, it also includes a restaurant or pub where the beer brewed on site is served directly.
Wir treffen uns heute Abend im Brauhaus auf ein frisch gezapftes Bier.
We're meeting at the brewpub this evening for a freshly tapped beer.
The word is made up of 'brauen' (to brew) and 'Haus' (house). So it is literally a house where beer is brewed.
Viele kleine Städte in Deutschland haben ihr eigenes historisches Brauhaus.
Many small towns in Germany have their own historic brewery.
To express movement, you use 'ins Brauhaus' (to the brewery/brewpub, accusative). To describe a place where you are located, you say 'im Brauhaus' (in/at the brewery/brewpub, dative).
Lass uns heute Abend ins Brauhaus gehen.
Let's go to the brewpub this evening.
A 'Brauhaus' (brewery/brewpub) is often associated with 'selbstgebrautem Bier' (home-brewed beer), 'frisch gezapftem Bier' (freshly tapped beer), and hearty regional food.
In diesem Brauhaus gibt es das beste selbstgebraute Bier der Stadt.
This brewpub has the best home-brewed beer in the city.

'die Brauerei' and 'das Brauhaus' are both connected with making beer. 'Brauerei' usually means the business or company that produces beer. This can also be a large production site. 'Brauhaus' more often means a building where beer is brewed, often with a restaurant or pub where you can drink the beer. The words can be confused because beer is brewed in both places. If you are talking about the company or production, 'Brauerei' is more precise. If you are thinking of a place to visit, eat, and drink beer, 'Brauhaus' is often a better fit.
Nach der Stadtführung essen wir im Brauhaus und probieren das Bier des Hauses.
After the city tour, we will eat at the brewpub and try the house beer.
