Allied Partnership Opportunities

A hand holding hop pelletsThe Vermont Brewers Association is a 501(c)(6) organization founded in 1995 to promote and strengthen the culture of craft brewing through marketing, education, and advocating for Vermont made beer. Our membership is strong with over 60 breweries that actively participate. The year 2024 will be the eighth year of offering Allied Partnership to businesses that support our industry in various ways. If your business provides goods or services to the craft beer industry and you would like the opportunity to show your support for our members, consider Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze membership tiers. The benefits increase with each level and the program has been extremely successful for the nearly 45 businesses that have joined since its inception in 2017.
