Be Confident You’re Getting a Good Deal

As a brewery owner, you know that running a successful business takes a lot of time and resources. Reviewing every purchasing decision can feel overwhelming and leave you wondering if you’re overspending. That’s where our pre-negotiated savings programs come in.

Our programs provide brewery members with exclusive discounts from leading industry suppliers on the products and supplies they’re already buying, saving them time and money without compromising quality.

How It Works
We leverage the combined buying power of our over 370 member-brewers to negotiate long-term savings programs with suppliers on the things breweries buy everyday. Both materials and operational expenses. Savings programs currently include cans, lids, chemicals, labels, hops, hose, jockey boxes, brewing and canning equipment, all kinds of packaging and POP, branded glassware, apparel, kegs, cartons, freight, office supplies, yeasts, enzymes and additives, POS and ERP software, insurance, consulting services, payroll processing and much more.

Our staff does the negotiating. Brewers participate only in the savings programs that are right for their brewery. And perhaps best of all, brewers can participate in most of our savings programs for FREE – no dues required. Learn more here.

The IBA is currently accepting applications from qualified craft brewers.  If you want to learn more, including how much your brewery could save, or apply for membership, contact Laurie at laurie@brewersalliance.org or fill out our easy, no-obligation member application.

What Our Brewers Say

“Our brewery has seen flat to declining sales and increasing costs. That’s where the IBA comes in. It’s negotiated pricing in a number of areas we could never have gotten on our own. The savings pay the cost of our membership many times over.
 – Dan Barrett, Controller, Upland Brewing – 15,000 Barrel Brewery

“I can’t believe how much money we are saving through IBA! It’s unbelievable! We will definitely be looking into more of the IBA programs soon. Can’t thank you enough for what you guys do.”
– Dylan Sultzer, Brew Master, Defiance Brewing – 1,100 Barrel Brewery

“The IBA is saving us money on every can – money that we plow right back into our marketing program to keep our business strong and growing.”
 – John Haggerty, Brew Master, Warped Wing Brewery – 8,000 Barrels
