The Beer Institute is a national trade association for the American brewing industry, representing both large and small brewers, as well as importers and industry suppliers. Our organization, founded in 1862 as the U.S. Brewers Association and reorganized as the Beer Institute in 1986, represents the beer industry before Congress, state legislatures and public forums across the country. We’re committed to developing sound public policy, focusing on community involvement and personal responsibility. As the recognized and authoritative source of information on aspects of the industry, the Beer Institute focuses on these principles through its representation, information and service. The Beer Institute assures a role for industry members in formulating public policy goals and works to implement our goals by providing representation before federal and state governmental bodies. Today, the 7,605 breweries in the United States are responsible for billions of dollars that flow each year through channels of American trade and commerce. From agricultural products, can manufacturing, bottling, food processing, food stores and general retail, to wholesaling, construction and real estate, brewers, along with their wholesale and retail partners, directly or indirectly employ nearly 2.42 million Americans.

December is National Impaired Driving Prevention Month, and the Beer Institute is spending this month highlighting one of the beer industry’s core values: responsible consumption. Our industry takes that responsibility seriously… not just in December, but all year long. That’s why we’re committed to: • Clear, transparent labeling so consumers can make informed choices. • Education efforts that promote moderation and help prevent underage drinking. • Low- and no-alcohol options that give consumers more flexibility. • Partnerships with community groups and safe-ride programs to help prevent impaired driving. Responsibility is a key part of who we are and what we believe. Let’s gather with friends and family this holiday season, and let’s make sure we continue to enjoy beer responsibly.

These are the men and women who make our industry strong… and they’re part of the more than 2.42 million Americans whose jobs are supported by beer. These honorees represent the best of what our industry stands for: hard work, innovation and community. Their efforts are worth toasting: we’re so proud to have them working in beer! CHEERS! 🍻🍻🍻

92 years ago, the United States ENDED Prohibition with the passage of the Twenty-first Amendment to the Constitution… giving adults the right to enjoy beer responsibly once again. It’s Friday. Crack one open because you can. And raise a glass, a bottle or a can to #RepealDay.
