A LITTLE MORE About Us
The Texas Craft Brewers Guild is a nonprofit trade association working to advance the Texas craft beer industry through advocacy and education. As a member-driven organization, the Guild’s board of directors hail from craft breweries in all of the major metropolitan regions of the state, as well as from different brewery and brewpub business models and sizes.
Formed in 2009 by a band of brewers, today, the Guild has more than 300 brewery members throughout the state, including operating breweries as well as breweries in planning. The Guild offers membership categories for a variety of businesses and organizations that are craft-adjacent, including suppliers, service providers, educational institutions, and retailers who feature Texas craft beer in their bars, restaurants, and bottle shops across the state. In 2024 the Guild launched the Brew City, Texas program, which aims to unite breweries and their home communities in propelling Texas to the forefront of craft beer generated economic development and tourism.
