The craft beer renaissance began in the Bay — a region of pioneers and trailblazers, of innovators and experimenters, of mavericks. Today's breweries carry on that legacy.
Participating in the Guild - A marketing trade association and community of peers, the Bay Area Brewers Guild promotes independent Bay Area craft beer and breweries, and provides collaborative marketing and networking opportunities, resources, education and more. We support a strong California Craft Brewers Association (CCBA) and national Brewers Association while focusing on regional and grassroots consumer marketing and engagement, and building strong local craft communities.
Membership is limited to qualifying brewery members at this time. Qualifications include but are not limited to, being:
- a fully licensed independent craft brewery** headquartered in the Bay Area (voting);
- a fully licensed independent craft brewery** with locations in the Bay Area (non-voting);
- an active CCBA member (contact the CCBA directly to join).
** - as defined by the Brewers Association
