Allied Partners

In order to advance this already vibrant industry and fortify the Association and its reach, the VBA is offering an Allied Trade Partnership opportunity to businesses that support our thriving industry.  Vermont brewers employ over 1,500 people and contribute nearly $300 million to the Vermont economy.  At the VBA we appreciate all the hard work that goes into making Vermont the premier state for locally produced, world-class beer, but we mustn’t forget the people and businesses who have the potential to support Vermont craft brewers even further!
