Applications Accepted April 14 – May 16, 2025
In the spirit of growing and strengthening the craft brewing industry in Texas, longtime Allied Trade member Method Architecture is offering another round of one-year Guild memberships for up to five Breweries in Planning for the 2025-2026 membership year.
While dues grants will be awarded with consideration of candidates’ financial need, we encourage all interested individuals to apply, including current Brewery in Planning members and grantees from previous cycles. Guild staff will work with grantees to determine membership start dates and to apply grant funds on an individual basis.
Confirm your Brewery in Planning’s eligibility using the checklist below and submit your application by Friday, May 16, 2025, to be considered.
Eligibility
- Applicants may be at any stage of the planning process. Applicants do not need to have possession of any state permits or federal Brewers Notices, but should be able to reasonably demonstrate through the application form that their brewery project is pursued in earnest.
- Applicants should have a residential or business address in the state of Texas at the time of application.
- Applicants who have already received a dues grant are invited to apply, but may not be a priority grantee for this cycle.
- Current Guild members, former Guild members, and brewery projects that have never held a Guild membership are eligible to apply.
- Breweries that are already producing beer and those that are already open to the public are not eligible to apply.

Terms & Conditions
- If an applicant with a current Guild membership is awarded a grant, Guild staff will work with that applicant to apply the grant award to the account’s next renewal date. Applicants with lapsed memberships (former Guild members) or those that are new to the Guild may apply their grant for membership as soon as is appropriate according to the onboarding process.
- Grants are not redeemable for cash. Grant funds will be paid to the Texas Craft Brewers Guild as membership dues on the applicant’s behalf.
- Grants for awardees that are not converted into membership within 30 days may be revoked and awarded to another applicant.
- Staff of the Texas Craft Brewers Guild and Method Architecture may award all or only a portion of the grants, at their discretion.
- Grant winners must acknowledge and abide by all terms and conditions of membership that are expected of self-paying members. These documents will be available for review upon membership activation, or by request.
