About the CCBA

Connecting and empowering the craft brewers of California through advocacy, education, and empowerment

The California Craft Brewers Association is a 501(c)(6) non-profit trade association representing the craft and specialty brewing industry in California. Formed in 1989, the CCBA is the oldest and largest state trade association representing craft breweries in the nation and is committed to protecting the growth, quality, and variety of California’s craft brewing industry.

The CCBA serves as the voice for the state’s craft brewers in the State Capitol, monitoring legislation and advocating on behalf of the industry. The association’s primary function is to represent the interests of all California craft breweries in the legislative and regulatory arenas.

Beyond advocacy, the CCBA provides a broad array of services to its members, including, but not limited to, addressing critical business and supply issues, hosting events to foster communication and education, and issuing industry insights to help members navigate the ever-evolving craft beer industry. The CCBA’s initiatives and activities promote and protect the growth of the craft brewing industry in California.

The CCBA is proud to represent the rich and diverse collection of artisans, entrepreneurs, and innovators that make up California’s vibrant craft brewing industry.
