The Brewers Association is an American trade group of over 5,400 brewers, breweries in planning, suppliers, distributors, craft beer retailers, and individuals particularly concerned with the promotion of craft beer and homebrewing.
Two of the largest programs supported by the Brewers Association are the American Homebrewers Association and the annual Great American Beer Festival. On January 27, 2025, the American Homebrewers Association announced it is incorporating to become an independent organization from the Brewers Association. As of this edit, this process is ongoing.
The current president and CEO is Bart Watson. The American Homebrewers Association was founded by past Brewers Association president Charlie Papazian.
