By uniting small and independent brewers across the state, the Guild has a stronger voice that aims to educate policy makers at the state and federal level about the industry and promote legislation that will allow the craft brewing industry to thrive.
As of 2021, there were nearly 250 craft breweries in the state of Wisconsin, producing over 1 Million barrels of beer every year (that’s more than 267.5 Million pints)! Wisconsin’s small and independent craft breweries have an annual impact of $2.4 Million, providing thousands of jobs and supporting our communities in invaluable ways.
