I would assume you are talking about the Uber and the 4%?  What are these breweries coding as?

Yes, my 4% Uber card is only earning 1% at these breweries. They are coded as:

• 7299 MISCELLANEOUS PERSONAL SERVICES
• 5499 MISC FOOD STORES-SPECIALITY,CONVENIENCE,MARKETS,VENDING MACHINES
• 5999 MISCELLANEOUS AND SPECIALTY RETAIL STORES
• 7999 RECREATION SERVICES--NOT ELSEWHERE CLASSIFIED

Now, 5% US-Bank Cash+.

 I'll try giving each brewery a call. This could be an honest mistake. I was surprised by the number of breweries incorrectly coded so I was curious if something else was at play with lower fees for a less risky MCC.

I think this code fits the description.

Found an option from a VISA MCC Booklet dated 2007 (not sure if email address is still viable):

9. What if the assigned MCC is obviously incorrect?
If you see an obviously incorrect MCC assigned to a supplier (for example, a business is selling office equipment but has an MCC for performing building maintenance), please let Visa know by email at [email protected]. In the meantime, you may rely on the MCC List.
