Brewers guilds are nonprofit trade organizations that unite breweries within a specific state or region to advocate for the interests of independent craft brewers. These guilds play a crucial role in shaping beer-related legislation, promoting local beer culture, and providing educational resources to their members. By organizing festivals, beer weeks, and professional development events, brewers’ guilds help foster a strong community among brewers and beer enthusiasts. For brewery owners, joining a state brewers guild is essential in today’s rapidly changing world to protect and maintain a brewery business and livelihood.
