With the purpose of promoting and protecting small and independent breweries in the United States, their craft beers and the community of brewing enthusiasts, a tireless and passionate team of staff work in support of the brewing community.
The Brewers Association (BA) staff champions the idea that brewers from small and independent American breweries and homebrewers craft the best beer in the world and have the most diverse beer culture. Additionally, BA staff provides a unified voice against those who wish to marginalize the benefits that these small businesses give their community.
