State brewers guilds and associations play an instrumental part in promoting and protecting the interests of their members and in unifying the larger community of brewers. This is true both in their own respective states and in terms of the nationwide community of brewers. As the national trade association for small, independent brewers, the Brewers Association (BA) has made it a priority to foster the growth and development of these state organizations.

The BA is committed to providing resources to both existing associations and those in the conceptual or formative stages. These include a helpful primer on some of the most common issues faced when first organizing a guild, the provision of an email distribution list for the exclusive use of guilds in communicating amongst one another and an up-to-date listing of all active guilds and their contact information.
